in which the Zeppelin fell. 1t began
to descend slowly and then dropped
fast. the blaze lighting up the country

Washington, Oct. l. The British

Embassy advices indicate that 1t

tionary measure they were moved upon
decks when the blaze was first seen.

Further east We pushed our out
posts well beyond the original front
line. More than 300 prisoners have

MorvaD was effectively bombarded by
our artillery and an ammunition dump
blown up.
On Saturday two aeroplanes were
successfully bombed by our aeroplane~.

NEW LEMBERG
DRIVE BEGUN
Russians Capture4,O 1000
Pierce GermanLines
and Aid Rumania.

London. Oct. THE Russian drive
for Lemberg is in full swing again
Both from the northeast, along the r""
way from Brody, and from the south
east. along the railway from Brzezany,
Brussiloff's troops are pushing forWaru
toward the Galician capital
In both thrusts the Cars forces
made substantial progress to-day ana
captured more than 1000 prisoners. On
the Brody-Krasne line they fought
their way forward for considerable
distance. while near Brzezany they sue
ceeded in winning heights on the right
bank of the Zlota Lipa.
Menace Falkenhayn's Drive.
The new Russian offensive comes at
n time when Falkenhayn was prepar''s
for an invasion of Rumania from inc
Transylvanis line. Reports from the
front indicate that many German troops
have been withdrawn from the Eastern
front to the Hungarian. Faikenhayn' S
success in the three day battle was due
largely TO these troops.
Brussilotf, whose attack had oeeh
stemmed by the large forces linden
burg had sent east TO reinforce tne
lines defending Kovel and iAmoerg'
waited until the enemy's line had been
weakened by Withdrawals to another
front. Falkenhayn's counter blow IN
Hungary apparently has given Brus,
silofF this opening, and he has resumed
his offensive.
Tire effect Of the renewed drive un-
doubtedly will be felt on the operations
against the Rumanians. Military oo-
servers here say it means that troops
sent into Hungary must be drawn back
once more TO Galicia. And that, IN
turn. may open the way for new blow
bv the Rumanian army. The problem
Of withstanding synchronized AlIled
drives once more confronts the German
staff.
Aim at Zlota Line.
Ualicz. the gateway TO Lemberg, IS
still held by the Teuton, strongly IN
,rancbed behind the Gnita Lipa line.
Fnrtber east lies the Zlota Lipa line,
which the Russians pierced IN their
thrust for Halicz. But for thirty miles
north of Brzezany the Teutons stiil
hold the Zlota Lipa line. and thrust
for Halicz always carries With II
,hrea, to the Russian flank.
Brussiloff's strategy now seems 10
contemplate the capture of Halicz by
hanking movement, instead Of fron,al
drive along the Dniester line: Inc
first requisite for this effort is:the win
ming of the whole Zlota Lipa line.
both assaults begun to-day are Ell
forts toward this end. Once that line
ia carried by the Russians the Teuton
forces must fall back to the Gnita Llpa
front The Cars forces will then be
in position TO drive in wedge between
Lemberg and Halicz.

lie SARS IN PERIL;
FRENCH ADVANCE
British in 2 Weeks Take
80 Cannon; $4,000 Men
Captured Since July I.

London, Oct. 1.--Haig's troops
smashed their way forward along n
two-mile front to-day, carrying the
village of Eaucourt pAbbaye, three
and half miles from Bapaume.
Thus the British have extended
their hold on the Albert Bapaume
road, putting lie Sars in peril, and
moved closer TO the national high
way from Bapaume 10 Peronne. lie
Transloy, which lies just off the
road, is under fire.
The tanks" played a prominent
part in to-day's battle. clearing the
trenches after the infantry had ad-
vanced beyond. The effectiveness Of
the armored cars is commented upon
in General Haig's report.
French Advance on Sally.
Meanwhile. the French are push
ing steadily northward along the
Bethune road, moving toward Sally
and seeking TO link up their line with
The British.
The success that has attended the
British TRUSTS Of the last fortnight
is indicated by the fact that they
captured twenty-four field guns and
six smaller guns m that period.
Since the beginning Of the Somme
drive on July 1 they have taken
26,S00 prisoners.
Along the British front heavy fight
ing ia unabated. From the Thiepval
sector TO Sally, on the Bethune road
front Of more than ten miles at
tack and counter attack come in swift
succession.
Since the capture Of Thiepvsl, the
British have been under heavy German
fire, but despite the stubbornness OF the
enemy they have succeeded in strength
ening their hold on this important
position.
Near the Stuff redoubt the Germans
were driven from more ground, while
the British now have possession OF
nearly all the Schwaben redoubt. This
gives them control of practically all the
high ground between the Somme and
the Ancrc.
Squeeze Ancre Position.
The British advance to-day, in the
centre, in conjunction with the thrust
northward from Thiepval, seeks 20
squeeze Germans from their position
in front of the Ancre.
The French. meanwhile, are closing
on Sally. They gained more ground
to-day in the Morval sector, bringi.g
them less than half a mile from the
Bethune road where il passes through
Sally. Once this position is cleared
the way will be open for Strengthening
the whole nor.n and south line TO LIE
Transloy.
In Artois and Flanders the British
are harassing the Germans with nu-
merous night raids and patrol engage
ments. Sixteen Of these incursions were
made between Ypres and Neuve
Chapelle last night. They may be the
forerunners Of an extension CT the
offensive north Of the Somme.
The Germans, by way Of diversion,
attempted two attacks to-day on the
Champagne front, the scene Of the
Allied offensive in September, 1915.
