 Tn San Francisco President Wilson's lead was augmented by six votes with about one-sixth of the precincts recounted by the toard of election commissioners.
 The counting was watched closely hy checkers. lawyers and expert ac- countants employed by both the re- publican and democratic state argani- cations
 Unofficial reports from other coun- ties received at political headquarters during the day regarding the presi- dential recount showed in all cases small gains for President Wilson.

New Ancre Battle.


 LONDON. Nov. 13.-What may be- come known as the battle of the Ancre opened today when the British forces struck fresh blow against the Ger man forces in the region of the Ancre river. There has been no serious fight ing in this sector since the opening of the British push on the first day of July, when the British line of attack extended five miles north of the Ancre to Gommecourt. But after a few days no progress being made in this region, efforts were henceforth concentrated farther to the south.
 Frequent trench raids during recent weeFs indicated that some new move was contemplated but the bad wealth CT, which has prevented any serious operations since October 21 when the last big attack was launched on the Schwaben-Le Sars sector, delayed the blow
 Apparently the Germans were taken by surprise and they offered no serious resistance except before Serre. The attack was carried out over a front extending five miles on both sides of the Ancre against positions which the Germans had held for two years and which they considered impregnabe. It resulted in the capture of the Beau-

BRITISH TAKE

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Once again the German line in France has been hard hit. Starting an offensive running from the south ern bank of the Ancre river north ward over a front of about five miles from St. Pierre Divion to the north of Serre-the British have captured the towns of Beaumont Hamel and St. Pierre Divion and first and second line trenches at various points.
 Between 5000 and 4,000 men were made prisoners in the attack, although their positions were extremely heavily fortified. A maximum gain to a depth of one mile over the five mile front was made by the British. Hard fight ing continues to the north of Serre.
 The next move will probably have as its objective the strengthening out of the British line northward from the region of Sars across the Ancre and the pushing forward by the British left wing toward Aichiet-Le- Petit, the junction point of the Arras- -Bapaume and Arras Miraumont railroads.
 Except in the Rumanian and Mace donian theaters there has been little fighting of great importance on any of the fronts. In the Transylvanian Alps region Bucharest admits that the Rumanians in the Alt river sector
