OF NEW GERMAN BOhB
Sand Alone Can Quench X, Say
Returned Ambulance Men.

In the Verdun offensive the Germans
employed a new FIRE bomb which was
more deadly than either the tear or
asphyxiatng missiles previously en-
ployed, according to +. c. Johnson and
c. b. Snyder. ambulance drivers, who
returned last night on the st. Louis.
The new bomb contains a slow burn

burned alive, in addition TO being
wounded by Aying pieces OF steel.
Many soldiers now carry small bag

tBy Cable 70 =, rfoune. I

London, Sept. 9.-The British re-
sumed the attack north of the Somme
today. They assailed the German
lne along a front Of three and d
half miles. in a lunge as fierce as
those Of the first days of the Somme
offensive.
Ginchy, a bastion of the second
line, was captured, and the ground
between this village and High Wood
mile to the northwest, was seized.
Thus the British line is within 800
Yards Of Combles, guarding the road
70 Bapaume.
East Of High Wood, which lies
southeast Of Martinpuich, the Brit
ish advanced for three hundred yards
On a front Of five hundred. This
hrus. threatens to drive a wedge
between Martinpuich and Flers,
s;rcngholds in the German third
h1e.
British Advance on Thiepvai.
Further west, where Thiepval
still defes the British effort, Haig's
troops gained 600 yards of trenches
northeast Of Pozieres, thus menac-
ing Thiepval from the flank. In
all the British won nearly two miles
Of trenches, in addition to the i'm
rortsnt village Of Ginchy.
Despite repeated counter strokes, the
French south Of the Somme advanced
their line, seizing small wood near
Bslloy, and pushing forward east OF
Dsniecourt.
Before Verdun General Petain struck
again, and succeeded in winning the
whole Of one section Of German
trenches in front Of Douaumont Heavy
German fire failed TO check this at
tack, in which 200 prisoners were
iakea.
Germans Prepare Attack.
In the Sonme battle the Germans

Carranza Thinks 'Hu-
initiation Demands
Big Indemnity.
WILL ACT WHEN
HE GETS LOAN
De Facto Government
Says 1t Was Hurt by
US. Support of Villa.

New London, Conn, Sept. 9.-The
withdrawal Of General Pershing's ex-
petition does not constitute the entire
objective of Carranza before the Mexi-
can-American Joint Commission. He
also hopes to exact large cash in
demnity from the United States for
the "unwarranted invasion" of Mexican
soil.
This was revealed to-day by an
American capitalist who has arge in
terests in the southern republc and is
in close touch with o.icals of the Car
ranza government. He recently was
called to Washington to inform the
State Department regarding certain
phases Of the Constitutionalist finan-
cial policy. While there he became in
formed Of Carranzas intention 10 de-
mand an indemnity.
Declaration by the de facto govern
ment that permission to send American
troops into Mexican territory never was
granted to the United States and that
the expedition was contrary 70 interna-
tional law and resulted in the "hurili-
alton of the sovereignty Of Mexico" will
be the basis Of Carranza's demard for
recompense, il was stated. Sums vary
ing from s1O0.OOO,OO0 to twice that
amount have been mentioned by MeXi-
can representatives in Washington.
Mexico Awaits Loan Outcome.
No presentation of indemnity claims
by the de facto authorities is expected
until the negotiations now under way
to obtain a loan TO Mexico are conclud-
ed. In the event that these are sue
cessful-a development which is con-
sdered unlikely on the indem-
nifty claim may be po tponei indefinite
~, il is said, but in case the credit ne
gotiations fail the demand will be pre-
sented Immediately.
Although the indemnity claim is to
be based entirely on the "unWarranted
/ invasion" and consequent Humiliation
Of the Mexiean nation" the dc facto
government will recite the injury done
to ths| Mexican nation By the United
States by its approval and support of
the Villa revolution. Il will charge
that further material damage was done
by the American troops under Pershing
and give details concerning the de-
struction of Mexican property and the
disregard of TIE rights of Mexica- citi-
zens by the United States soldiers.
Commissioners Are Mum.
The First Chief already has protest
ed TO Washington that the destruction
of property and injury 10 Mexicans
were responsible for the encounter OF
Mexican and American troops at Carri-
zal. Many other similar protests are on
/ file in the State Department.
Luis Cabrera. chairman of the MeXi-
can division of the American Mexican
Joint commission now in session here,
was in New York to-day with Alberto
J. PAM. of the commission. Neither
Mr.. Cabrera nor Mr.. Pani would discuss
the reported intention of their govern
ment 10 press an indemnity claim
against the United States.

There are two threats in this assault.
First. the Russians are moving toward
the Bulgarian border, driving the Bull
cars before them. Once the Ieutons
end their Allies are driven out OF the
Dobrudia-and they seem 70 De iar
outnumbered the long-heralded |Rus-
sian invasion of Bulgaria from the
north will be launched.
But there is a more Immediate men
ace. The boldness of Mackensen's dash
in the DobrudJn-the dash that won
Turtukai-has won the admiration OF
military circles in London. But now
Uaekensen's daring is likely to prove
his undoing, for the advance toward
bucharest and the winning of the Ian
ube fortress open his army to an attack

DObric Falls as Cars
Troops Gain in
Dobrudja.
RUMANIANS WIN
5 MORE VILLAGES
Continue Advance in North
Pennsylvania in Wide
Attack.
by Cabs 10 The Tribune.l

London, Sept. 9.-The Russian
drive in the Dobrudja is in full
swing. Swinging forward with the
Rumanians to-day, the Cars troops
won back Dobric, ten miles from the
Bulgarian border, and Dobasci. In
the fierce battle that is still in prog
less they are fighting to clear Gar
Ferdinand's troops from the holds
they have won on the Rumanian
Black Sea coast.
With the Danube line protected by
the Russian thrust, the Rumanians
have put new vigor into the cam
paign in Pennsylvania. Olah Top
litza, twenty-five miles inside the
border, and five other towns in Tran
lylvania were wrested from the Aus
trians to-day. The territory lying
between the Rumanian line and the
mountains skirting the Hungarian
border is being conquered rapidly.
Russians Win in Carpathians.
The Russians are ready to join in
this campaign. They have taken
another series Of Carpathian heights,
winning a hold on the ridges guard
ing the Rodna pass leading into Hun
gerry proper. Berlin admits this re-
treat. This move aims to flank the
second Austrian line behind the
mountains on the Hungarian border.
A furious battle is developing along
the whole seventy-mile front IN the
Dobrudja, from the Danube, where the
Bulgars have won Turtukai, to the
Black Sea. where Car ferdin'nds
troops hold three ports. The Russians
have wrested the offensive from the
Bulgars and are striking heavy blows
along the wide line.
