London, Sept 4-As result Of the
fighting yesterday north Of the river
Somme, says the British official state
ment issued today, British troops cap
atured German defenses on 5000 yard
front for an average depth Of 5000
Yards, and including the village Of
Guillemont.
The whole of Ginchy at first was cap
tured but the British were compelled
to give ground, retaining hold OF part
OF the village despite heavy counter
attacks. More than 800 Germans were
taken prisoners.
" The statement says:
"Fighting between the Somme and
Aflcre was severe. The enemy made
determined counter attacks supported
by heavy artillery fire. The British
advance almost everywhere was sue
cessful at the outset and most of the
enemy's counter attacks completely
failed to shake the hold of the British
troops on the ground won. The British
line is the same as reported last
mig hit"

Athens, Sept. 4.-Seizing, the oppor-
tunity offered by the presence at
Piraeus within gunshot Of Athens, Of
a large fleet of the entente nations,
Premier Zaimis has assumed unob-
structively what amounts to dictatorial
powers. All is ready for the final act
to end the neutrality Of Greece.
While the people Of Athens were
being mildly amused at the sight Of
allied sailors and police pursuing Ger
man agents about the streets. pro-
found change In the status of affairs
was made quietly. Premier Zaimis is
now in position to swing the whole
country as he will, unembarrassed by
any dissenting popular opinion or hos
tile control. The first step which
placed power in his hands was taken
when he forbade the gatherings last
Wednesday. The arrangement of Fri
day. whereby the issuance of the de-
cree dissolvfng the parliament and
calling new elections was postponed
indefinitely, disposed effectually of any
interference with the policy of the
government. Finally the premier yes
terday asked and received the support
Of the leaders of the venizelos party
and Of the party opposed to venizelos.
