Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. Sept. 6-(By The Associated Press)-Substantia advances again are reported all along the southern part Of the line. The Australians have crossed the Somme on wide front south of Peronne and have driven into Mesnil. Doignt and Athies Wood all have been taken. Progress is reported east of these places.
 The enemy has been driven from east and northeast of Peronne. Over the whole area from which the Ger mans are retreating on this large sec ton Of the front. many fires are raging and numerous explosions have been heard. Villages are aflar-, between the British positions and the Hindenbur. line here and in the northern areas the Germans are burning quantities of ma terials.
 Make British Pause
 The British ave reached the Athies- Ham road and are on the eastern out skirts of Bussu. At Nurlu there has been heavy fighting. Strong German forces. fighting desperately with ma chine guns and trench mortars ha.e caused the British to pause.
 Along the whole front from .he southern extremity to the Bapaun,c- Cambrai road the enemy artillery fire is dwindling away. indicating the Ger mans are making strenuous efforts to get their guns back of the HindenburR defenses.
 Tn the Queant area the British, after severe fighting. occupied the ridge south of Moeuvres and captured more German posts around Havrincourt wood. South of Havrincourt wood the advance north and south of Equan- court met with heavy resistance Just east of here the wh,-, town of Fins is aflame. This resistance probably was offered to give chance to the de- struction squads in Fins.
 British Posts Pushed Forward
 British posts west of the canal du Nord. north of Inchy. have been pushed forward. but patrols on the west bank of the canal were heavily fired upon from the east bank. One of the Brit : ish patrols crawled across a damaged bridge and came upon an enemy cut post asleep. The British bounced upon the sleeping Germans and captur,t them.
 In the north. where the British ars reported to be making advances. tnor' | HI cS are fdSiuS- III IuoIly pldCeS IlOft. of the Sensee river the Germans fo several hours have been firing thous ands of gas shells so indiscriminata T, ss to make it appear that they are try ing to get rid of them.
 Two Counter Attacks Fail A number of fires have been re ported in the area south of the Els taires- -Armentieres road. There iavt been three counter attacks agains hill 63 and the surrounding positions Two of these broke down completely but during the third, north of tn hill. the British were compelled to fal back slightly.

rRepublIcan 4. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON. Sept. s-The Amer ,csn army transport Mount Vernon, formerly the North German Lloyo liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie, was tor pedoed by a submarine yesterday 200 miles from the coast of France while homeward bound. She was able to return to port. The report to the navy department made no mention Of casu- alties. It was assumed that no one was injured. No military units were on board but the big liner probably was carrying some sick and wounded American sol- diers in addition to her crew of prob ably 500 or 700 navy men. The extent of the damage was not give in the department's advices but from the fact that the vessel was able to return to France at speed of 14 knots officials concluded she was not badly damaged.
 Former German Liner
 The Mount Vernon is the second of the great German liners taken over by this country to be torpedoed. The President Lincoln was sunk recently 400 miles off the French coast while homeward bound.
 Before the war the Kronprinzessin Cecilie piled between New York and European ports. When the war began she was on the high seas bound for Cherbourg and Plymouth with $12,00o.- 900 in gold bullion in addition to many passengers. Instructions were sent to her master from Germany by radio to return to this country. The liner inn mediately put back, arriving at Bai Harbor, Maine. She later was moved to Boston.
 Converted Into Transport
 Suit was brought against the Nortf German Lloyd line by banks in New York for failure of the vessel to deliver the gold and the case finally came be- fore the supreme court which decided against the banks. Later the vesse was seized by customs officials for tn. shipping board which had her put 1T seagoing condition. the crew having damaged the engines.

 The Mount Vernon is of 19,503 gros tons and before conversion had a pas senger carrying capacity of about 2.oo0 Her speed is 251z knots an hour.
