 Already Out.

Counter Attacks ReDuISed

Paris, July 31, noon.-North of the Somme yesterday evening and last night the Germans redoubled their counter attacks between the Hem Wood and Monacu Farm, says the official statement issued this afternoon by the French war department. The struggle was. especially severe round Monacu Farm, where the Germans got a footing for a moment but were inn mediately driven back.
 At Hem Wood all the German as- saults were repulsed by French counter alta cks. At the same time the French batteries on the left bank of the Sonme, the statement con- tinues, enfiladed the German troops, inf1icting great loss.
 On the left bank of the Mouse, in the Verdun sector, a German alta ok on the northeast side of Hill BOA failed.
 On the right bank of the Mouse the French progressed slightly in the region southwest of Fleury.

 More than half the committee was on hand and there were many promi- nent progressives, not connected with the committee also there, including A. Lincoln Chase of this city and F. E. Duffy of West Hartford.
 The anti-Hughes faction of the committee scored a signal victory just before the executive session was or dered, when they elected Luther H. Teischeman of this city, town chair man of the party, as state committee man from the first disarict to suc- ceed Irving Gabriel, who lately moved out of the district.
 It was expected that the meeting would last at least two hours.
