Notable Gains Achieved by
Anglo French in Drive in
Somme Sector.
FATE OF COMPLIES
APPEARS SEALED
Capture of New Positions Presages
Germans Cannot Much Longer Hold
Village, and Line Of Retreat Is
Thru Valley Commanded by Allies.
ASSOCIATED Press Summary

Attacking simultaneously or an arc
OF fifteen miles, from Martinpuich to
the Somme, the British and French
have delivered another smashing
blow on the German line, and pushed
forward their positions for notable
gains.
From Martinpuich to Combles, a
distance of six miles, the British
have driven their wedge more than
mile and have captured the import
ant strategic towns of Les Boeufs and
Morval, the latter a mile north of
'Combles.
The French have captured Ran
court, two miles east of the outskirts
Of Fregicourt and one mile northeast
of Combles. Trenches close to
Fregicourt, near Bouchavesnes and
extending from the canal du Nord to
the Somme, were taken.
The capture of Morval by the Brit
ish and of part Of Fregicourt by
the French apparently seal the fate
of Combles, which the Germans have
held determinedly for weeks. The
defenders have left to them for es-
cape only a valley mile in width,
running north-northeast, and in the
traversing of which they must come
under the British and French guns
from Morval and around Fregiccurt.
Another notable step in the APP
proach on Peronne is the capture by
the French of trenches in the canal
du Nord region. Except in France,
there have been no important en-
gagements on any of the various
fronts.
Russians Begin New Offensive.

sian attacks in Volhynia. Galicia and
the Carpathians. Unofficial advices
say the Russians have begun large
offensive on the eastern front. to re-
pulse counter attacks of the Teutons,

fore winter sets in.
The Rumanians are still struggling
in the Szurduk and Vulkan passes
of the Transylvanian Alps. Berlin
reports all their attacks have been
In Macedonia, west of Florina, the
Russians have captured a hill from
the Bulgarians. The Serbians have
crossed the frontier of their own
country and have reached a position
near Krusograd. while the French.
northeast of Florina. have penetrated
the outskirts Of PetOrak. The Brit
ish, north of Lake Tahinos, on the
eastern end of the battle line, also re-
port an advance, but Berlin says all
their attacks were repulsed. 4
The Italians have captured an i'm
portant mountain peak in the Tren- |
tino front. Only bombardments have
occurred elsewhere on this front.
The Germans made night attack ,
a gainst the eastern coast of Eng
land, with airships which dropped I
bombs in north and north midland

LABOR VOTE NOT DELIVERABLE.
This Is the Outstanding Fact Which
Political Philosophers Deduce From
the Defeat In Maine OF Repre-
sentative McGllllcuddy.

From among the numerous lessons
or conclusions which the political phil
losophers can draw from the Maine
election one lesson or conclusion
stands out more sharply defined than
any other. 1t jumps at you.
The labor vote, for the sake OF
which the Poltroon Congress tarred
and featnered itself with its own
hands only dozen days ago, Is not
deliverable by the traders who pre-
tended to sell it.
This salient fact of the election is
illustrated conspicuOusly in the Sec
ond Congress district. There are few
places within the confines of our
republic where labor Is relatively
stronger than in the city of Lewiston,
the home city Of Representative Nc
Gillicuddy, and he has made spe-
cialty of it in his own political prac-
tice. In the Second Maine, IL any
where, would there be indications OF
any return, in the shape of votes, Tor
the surrender of Congress to the four
Brotherhoods. After campaign
which might almost be called desper-
ate In its effort TO save McGillicuddy
and one Democratic seat in the House
from the Republican onset, Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy was defeated by an adj
verse plurality of nearly 400, whereas
he had been elected to the Sixty
second Congress by plurality of 1850
and to the Sixty-third by 1881.
