FRENCH ACTIVE
ALONG S0MME
Dislodge Germans from
Important Positions

London. Sept. 5.-Almost without
pause after their smash of Sunday
against the German lines. the French
resumed their onslaught north and
south Of the Somme river and with
the British aiding to the north, drove
their lines still farther forward along
front of twenty-five miles. Impor-
tant German positions fell before the
advance.
South of the Somme the village of
Soyecourt and part of the village of
Vermandovillers were taken, while,
seemingly more important still, the
French made fresh progress east of
the village of Forest, which lies one
and one-half miles southeast Of the
railroad town of Combles.
Five Thousand Germans Captured.
This gain, taken with the capture Of
Guillemont by the British Sunday,
seemingly outflanks Conbles and ap-
parently renders it untenable.
More than 5000 Germans have been
made prisoners north and south of the
Somme in the last two days.
On the British right wing, progress
is reported north of Falfemont farm,
while a German counter-attack north
west of Moquet farm was repulsed.
In the Verdun sector Paris records a
fresh gain near Fleury.
Berlin, in admitting the claims of
British and French successes in the
fighting of Sunday in the Somme re-
gion says the battling over the eight
een-mile front from Beaumont to the
Somme was one of the greatest fe-
| rocity.
The Germans held their ground at
| Thiepval, north of PoZieres, and near
Ginchey, but Guillemont village and
wood were lost, as likewise was Gin
chy, but a counter-attack Of the Ger,
mans won back a portion OF the latter
town. .Ass~
Russ Drive at Hungary.
Again there is heavy fighting on the
IIOHL III INuSSld WcSL anu SOuLlIWCSJ
of Lutsk and north of Zborow and
near Brezezany, in Galicia, with the
Russians generally the aggressors.
Petrograd controverts the assertion
of Berlin that the Russians obtained
only local successes near Brezezany
by the declaration that the Russians
won a victory over the Teutons here
and took 2,641 prisoners.
In the Carpathian region. according
to Petrograd, the Russians have cap
tured an entire series of heights and
are advancing to the Hungarian from
tier.
Roumanians Press On.
All along the Pennsylvania front the
Ronmanians continue to press their ad-
vantage against the Austro-Hungari-
ans. Here they have captured addi-
tonal towns and are said to be bom-
harding the town of Hermannstadt,
which is second in Importance only to
kronstadt.
The Germans and Bulgarian forces
are attacking along the entire front
between Dobredja and Bulgaria. Near
Koemar, Berlin reports, the Rouman-
ians were driven back with the loss of
700 men taken prisoners.
Italians Take Towns.
In Albania the Italians east of Av-
Iona have taken the villages of Kutai
and Brizar and Monte Gradist.
Considerable fighting is in progress
in the Austro-Italian theater, but with
out any important changes in terrain.
Berlin admits the loss of an airship
the night Of Sept. 2. 1t is supposed
this is the Zeppelin which London re-
ported was brought down during the
raid on London early Sunday morning.

ahead to take care OF the deliveries re-

ly the smaller manufacturers. have refused
the orders. apparently in the belief that adj
vances will be made within the next week
or so.
At present condition prevails in the
steel market which has not been experienced
heretofore-that is, the difficulty of placing
orders by consumers. The makers of many
products are booked far into the new
year that they fear their books will become
topheavy with orders and, therefore. they
have turned down inquiries by the whole.

cial states that his organization in the last
two months has turned down probably more
business than II booked in some of the dull
years OF its existence.
