British Headquarters in France
and Belgium, Monday, Oct. 1.-Once
more the Germans have essayed. in
a series of counter attacks, to break
the new British lines between Poly
gon wood and Tow Hamlets, across
the open road to the south. Again
they have been hurled back with
heavy losses. The principal result
of three bitter attacks by the enemy
between dawn and id-afternoon
has been the m0rciless SCATTERING
Of his ranks and still further ad-
vance over the front south of Poly
gon wood by the British, who push
ed their line forward some hundred
yards in depth behind the fleeing
Germans.
The first assault was delivered at
6:15 o'clock this morning. The enemy
advanced in three waves toward the
British, but Immediately met with
such a fierce fire of rifles and ar
tillery that he was compelled to re-
tire. 1t was apparent. however, that
the Germans were not through with
the attempt, and the big British guns
turned loose such an avalanche of
shells as is seldom seen along the
front. ..

Germans RebulSed
In Bloody Attacks

At $40 o'clock the Germans surg
ed forward once more and again
were turned back by the intense fire
from their opponents. Meanwhile
the British artillery was hammering
away with drumfire intensity, shak-
ing the country miles back of the
lines. The German guns were not
silent and in the midst of the roar
of the British artillery could be
heard the detonations of heavy
enemy shells. \
1t seemed impossible that another
attempt would be made by the Ger
mans in the face of such a hurri-
cane of steel but after, a consider
able rest they came forward once
more. Again they broke and this
time ran, with the British in hot
pursuit.
This is the first dispatch regard
ing the military situation on the

MANY COMPLAINTS OF
MILK COMBINATIONS

Madison, Wis, Oct. 1.-The attor-
ney generals office is literally deluged
with masses of evidence regarding
milk combinations today. From all
sections of the state information is
being telephOned in, and the indica-
tions are that legal action is close at
hand. Deputy Attorney General Drew
has charge of the matter.
Mr.. Drew said today he did not ex-
pect to go to Milwaukee today but
intimated that information is already
being gathered there under his direc-
ton by competent persons.
The antitrust law, passed at the
last session of the legislature, will
probably be used. This law gives far
greater powers than any previous
laws regarding combinations. 1t was
passed by the Legislature as a result
OF an attempt to boost prices by an
agreement in Madison.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The Mexican
ambassador, Ignacio Bonillas, has
made formal Representations to the
state department against the draft
ing of Mexicans into the national
army, particularly from the border
states. In some cases where IL Is
shown that MexicanE have been
taken through irregular practice or
the exemption boards, the, state de-
partment has had the men releas-
ed.
In other casas, however, the cases
are complicated because OF the diff
ference in the constitutions of the
two countries. Mexico holds that
man born abroad Of Mexican parents
is a Mexican unless he voluntarily
forfeits his citizenship. The United
States holds that a person born here
is an American citizen.

This is so different from the rela-
tions between our officers and men
that IL is freshly impressed on the
minds Of the Germans on every oc-
CASTOR when there is hand to hand
fighting, in which our officers invar-
iably lead their men, while the Ger
man officers seldom do so. They are
not actuated by fear and IL must be
assumed that they are obeying orders
in thus holding back. Very great
losses Of the German officer class
early in the war may have made II

Whatever is the reason, their men
