Allies Will Never Be Able to Break
 Through, in Opinion of Chancellor

London, Sept. 29, 6:05 a. m.-The allies cannot break through the Ger man lines on the Somme, Chancellor Won Hollweg told the Reichstag yesterday, according to an account of his speech cabled to Reuters by way of Amsterdam. The German prime minister made a sim liar statement in regard to the east ern front.
 '"The English and French, it is true" he said, "have achieved ad- vantages. Our first lines have been pressed back some kilometers and we have also to deplore heavy losses in men and material. That was inevit- able in an offensive on such a mighty scale. But what our enemies hoped to ccomplish-namely, break through on grand scale, and roll up our positions-has not been attained The battle of the Somme will cost further sacrifices Still another trench and another village, may be lost, but they will not get through

STRIKE SUCCESS DIM
Labor Leaders Postpone Efforts to Call Out Workmen-Disappoin by Building Trades and TaasnStcrS

New York, Sept. 29.-Labor union officials who attempted to. organize t' general strike here in Westchester County in sympathy with the striking street carmen refused today to admit defeat and still claimed that nearly 2OO,OO workers had quit. They an- nounced, however, that efforts to call out others would be postponed until Monday next, when a meeting of the local Federated Unions will be held to consider what action shall be taken. Hugh Frayne, chairman of the joint labor conference committee which has directed the attempt to call out all the trade unions, explained the postponement of further action by saying that many of the unions had not had time to consider the strike call.
 The most serious disappointment suffered by the labor chiefs was the action yesterday of the allied build ing trades, with a membership of 100000, and the Teamsters' Union of 10000 members, in postponing a deci- sion on the strike issue.
