London Sept. 26.-Combles, keypoint of the whole
German line from Bapaume to Peronne has been cap
tured by the British after 8 hours of most furious bat
ting north of the Somme.
General Hag this afternoon announced that British
troops entered COmbeS overcoming German resistance
The enemys losses, the official report sad severe
The British victory, achieved after three weeks Of
desperate driving against the German CENTER the most
striking single achievement of the whole Somme Of
fensive.
1t removes of the last two obstacles to Anglo
French thrust to squeeze the Germans out of Peronne
of the two obiectives of the great allied advance
The capture of Combes followed day and night of
most brilliant allied successes including the capture of
the village of Morva and Les Bouefs by the British and
Rancourt and Fregcourt by the French In summing up
the days successful operations General Haig reported
1,500 Germans captured by the British and that
prisoners being brought in The work of listing
large supplies of materials also captured has not
been completed.
Combes fell after thrusts by both British and French
in yesterdays fighting dreF' about the German
garrison which made their escape almost impossible
For weeks the Germans had used the town, with its
wonderful system of Notifications pivot point from
which to swing attacks north and south at the allies
lines In the last month of fighting the British and
French lines pressed steadily forward on both sides until
the town in deep pocket. 1t no longer avail
able for the Germans as pivotal point but 1t still held
out buttresSing the German line and blocking further
allied advance.
The British not only gained this important victory but
pressed forward in their drive toward Bapaume last
night and early today strong redoubt between Les
Bouefs and Guerdecourt fell before British attack
The French also swept forward again last night car
rying Fregcourt village and later repulsing German at
tacks against positions won yesterday
The official statement from the German war office this
afternoon apparently admits the loss of Combes well
as the villages of Morval and Les Bouefs, and pays
tribute to the bravery of the German defenders.

Billings Denies Stories.


San Francisco, Sept 26.-Facing lae
Imprisonment for the preparedness pa
rade bomb murders, Warren X Billings
today began his publicity campaign by
issuing a signed statement denying en-
phatically that he has confessed the
crime or has offered to confess.
He said;
"Any statement to the effect that
have offered any confession or have
succumbed to any inducements or
threats offered me by the district attor-
ney or any of his assistants in an abso-
lutte falsehooh, and any man who even
intimates that such is the case is a pur
veyor of falsehood and the truth is not
in him.
Billings also completed the document
which he proposes to read to Superior
Judge Dunno today as a reason which
sentence should not be pronounced. Max
well McNutt, his attorney, has prepar-
ed motion for new trial on the
ground that new evidence has been
found.
Scores of intimidating letters threat
ening prosecution witnesses with death
were received during the course OF Bill
lings' trial, the police admitted today.
The letters were turned over to postal
authorities and inspectors are attempt
ing to trace them. Most of the letters
were addressed to John Mcdonald and
Miss Estele Smith, the states star wit
nesses and were signed "by the gang.
Chief of Police White also received q
number of threats.

COUNTY PROSECUTOR
ACCUSED OF MURDER
State Claims Oscar McDan-

Death in Quarrel

st. Joseph, Mo-, Sept. 25.-When the
today, Special Prosecutor Bart Lock
wood asked the court to tell the grand
jury to hear the charge of wife murder
against County Prosecutor Oscar Nc
Daniels, arrested at his home here last
night. Lockwood will ask an indict-
ment alleging Mrs. Daniels had threat
ened divorce and was slain after quar-
rel
Lockwood will charge that McDaniels
was not at lodge the night of July IA
as Mrs. McDaniels supposed; that Nc
Daniels returned home about 10 clock,
was reproached for his deceptions and
threatened Mrs. McDaniels to death.
The special prosecutor will also
charge that the "fake telephone calp'
was McDaniel's invention and part of
a plan to divert suspicion to those who
had threatened him for his official
acts.
Lockwood will charge further that
McDaniels left the house after the mur.
der and fired all five shots heard by
tHt ntiEHDOiSs iAONhhoou utNidItu AHt
case is conclusive and based largely on
testimony of witnesses who were not
heard at the inquest.
McDanietls took his arrest lightly,
laughed, said "all right" and walked
two miles to prison.
Mrs McDaniels was found dying by
her husband when he returned from ans
wering telephone call to come to a
saloon and get his brother, who was in
trouble. He said the murderer fired at
him as he returned home and that he
returned the fire. In an adjoining room
the McDaniels children slept undisturb
ed by the killing of their mother.
The entire series of charges and the
story told by McDaniels, read like q
page torn from melodrama. McDan
iels declared that upon returning home
after answering the telephone call, he
was fired upon as he stepped from his
automobile. He crouched behind the car
and returned the fire. He was carrying
revolver, he said, because of threats
that had been made against his life
Escaping unwounded, he ran into the
house where he found his wife dying.

same hour, completed the capture of
Rancourt and pushed on to the outskirts
of Fregicourt east, northeast of Comb
les.
The German defenders OF Combles for
weeks the main support of the whole
German line from Bapaume to Peronne,
are caught in moose and nearly com
pletely encircled. Allied artillery com
mands the narrow gap-barely a mile
wide-over which few Germans may
escape under cover of darkness, but
any attempt to retreat by the whole
German force must prove disastrous. 1t
is believed here that the Germans with
drew many of their heavy guns before
yesterdays allied attack, realizing the
hopelessness of their position.
The great attack yesterday carried
the British to within easy gun range OF
Bapaume, one of the objectives of the
Somme offensive, for the first time
since the drive began. 1t carried the
French to within striking distance of
Mt. st. Quentin, whose fall will signal
the immediate evacuation of Peronne
by the Germans.
The artillery prelude to this sweeping
advance was with perhaps one exception
the most powerful since the Somme of
fensive began. where British gunners
concentrated their fire, and one German
battery after another silenced.
Whether the new British "tanks"
figured again in yesterdays allied vic.
tory as they did in the capture of Mar
tinpuich. Flers and Courcelette has not
yet been made known in dispatches from
press headquarters.

lightning advance of both French and
British wings in yesterdays great
storming attack, a German force est-

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Edward R. West,
vice-president of the C. d. Gregg Tea
and Coffee company with offices here
and in New York, is the "a. R. Yves.
ley" who was victimized for $4,000 by
the national syndicate of blackmailers,
it was definitely learned today.
Vests personal attorney, Egbert
Robertson, and Hinton G. Clabaugh, fed
eral investigators here, both admitted
West was the person.
Robertson said West voluntarily told
his story of being lured to New York
by Buda Goldman, supposedly mem
Der of the gang, that others might be
warned and the guilty punished.
West was trapped by Buda Goldman,
whom he met in cafe several months
ago, he said today. They saw each
other frequently for several weeks and
she induced him to take her to New
York with him on business trip, he
states. On their first night there, three
men knocked at the door of their ho-
tel room and said they were govern.
ment officers and that the couple were
under arrest for violating the Mann act.
The woman became frantic and said ex.
posures would ruin her social position.
Tnen the fake officers suggested the
affair might be hushed up.
West refused to yield to the black
mail and the couple was brought here.
Negotiations continued three or four
days while the two were held ut a hotel
here, supposedly as prisoners of the
federal government. Finally the wo-
man s pleas that she be not exposed won
West and he paid the men $l2,5O0 and
later $4,000. Both were released on the
first payment.
West Convincing Witness.
The men who posed as federal agents
are supposed to be George Irwin, John
II. French and "Doc" Brady, alias
James Christian. French was arrested
in connection with the Klipper kidnap'
ing several days before West paid the
second installment. Irwin and Brady
are under arrest.
Buda Goldman, who is said to he the
former wife of song writer is being
questioned today by federal agents.
West is wealthy widower, who lives
in Highland Park, an exclusive suburb
of Chicago. He is president of one
of the largest tea and coffee importing

PICK COTTON EARLY.

Thousands of dollars of good cotton money are sacrificed in Ar kansas each year because of failure to get the cotton picked promptly and before it has had opportunity to fall to the ground where it not only becomes trashy and full of Sano but where it is damaged by exposure to weather. Cotton left in the fields for a long period of time fades until it becomes more or less transparent when it is rec orgnzed as blue cotton and the price is reduced by about cent per pound. Much of the cotton falling to the ground begins to de- cay and is damaged thereby. Of tentimes when cotton is left t,open Tn the field during a wet season the seed begins to sprout and the sub sequent decay leads to stained and inferior cotton. Save the cotton in the best possible condition by getting it picked early.
