OFFICIAL REPORTS FROM VARIOUS
 WAR FRONTS.
BRITISH REPORT.

London, Sept. 3.-Between Peronne and the Sensee river the British are continuing their successful advance against the Germans, according to Field Marshal Haig's communication issued tonight.
 The British now have reached the general line of Ypres (south of Bertin- court), Beaumetz-Lez- Cambrai, Bar ale, Rumaucourt and Lecluse. The statement follows:
 After the heavy defeat inflicted on the enemy yesterday our progrss in battl front between Peronne and the Sensee river continued today and our troops reached the general line of Ytres, Beaumetz-Lez -Cambrai, Baral- le, Rumaucourt and Lecluse. Hostile rear guards which resist ed the advance of our infantry have been captured or driven back with loss, and heavy casualties were in- flicted on the retreating German col umns by our artillery.
 Large numbers of the enemy re- tiring in close formation over the ridge northwest of Equancourt, were successfully engaged in our batteries over the open heights.
 ''In his hurrying retreat quantities of stores and material of all kinds were abandoned by the enemy and have fallen into our hands.
 "As result of a successful opera tion this morning south of the Lys English troops have taken Richebourg. St. Vaast, and established themselves on the line. of Labasse road and be. | tween there and Estaire which is in our possession.
 Our posts have been pushed for. 1 ward slightly in the western outskirts of Lens and east and north of Given. chy-Lez-L

Final Vote on the Emergency
 Bill is Blocked
Leaders Confident Measure Will Be Handled To
 day Sure.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Final vote on the emergency agricultural appro- priation bill with it's rider, national prohibition next July, was blocked in the senate again today by discussion of appropriations designed to stimu- late farm production.
 Leaders, howevere, were confident that the measure would be disposed of tomorrow.
 Practically the entire day was spent in debating and voting on an amendment by Senator Kenyon of Iowa, Republican, to eliminate appro- priations aggregating $600,0OO for the stimulation of the production of beef, cattle, pork, poultry and sheep and for making cottage cheese on the farm"
 The amendment was voted on by sections and after all the other sec tions had been voted down, Senator Kenyon withdrew that relating to cot tage cheese
 This provision, however, later was stricken from the bill on motion of Senator Thomas of Colorado.

TANKS HAD 4
 QUIET TIME ON
 BATTLE FRONT Very Little Action on Tues day Excepting a Few
 Airplane Fights

With the American Army in France Sept. (By Associated Press. )-The Americans in the fighting line north or Solssons had quiet day Tuesday.
 There has been considerable aeria activity in the Vesle region and sev eral combats in the air.
 One German machine is reported tC have been downed by allied airmen
 Just behind Juvigny during theil advance the Americans captured { German dressing station and several wounded Germans and rescued two wounded Americans.
 The rescued Americans had had lit. tie food for two days and virtually nc attention.
 The Americans did not complain however, as the German wounded were not given much attention either
 This was due to the confusion of the retreat and the great numbers of wounded Germans who poured into the station as the Americans ad- vanced.
 In this dressing station were found quantities of French lace curtains "IlCH Hdu DCeu cut HlJO SIflpS IOI bandages and crepe paper used for the same purpose.
 French officers who examined the lace said that it was unquestionably of French make.
 The Germans evidently had been obliged to use bandages of this type because of shortage of material ill Germany.
 American Headquarters in France, Sept. 3.-Reuters-A great fight has been in progress all day north and northeast of Soissons. The Germans are defending the Pont Ruge plateau northeast of Soissons, and the Laon railway with great vigor, as well as the line on the right along the north bank of the Aisne.
 The Americans are bombing the German positions from the south and west. The lines af the enemy for hours have been seething inferno of smoke and dust. The villages he has been holding are burning like vast torches.

THREE MEN DIE WHEN
 ALABAMA COAL MINE
 IS SUDDENLY FLOODED

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 3.-John Pennington a contractor of Theors'by Ala, and Jake Jones, negro miner, were drowned and Henry Truss and Turner Byers negro miners, are miss ing following the flooding of Mary Lee at Lewisburg, Ala, owned by the Ala bama company today.
 A small cloudburst caused water to rush down a manway in such volume that a wall of the mine slope caved in allowing great volumes of water to pour into the mine.
 Nearly two hundred men were at work in the mine.
 Superintendent John c. Caldwell, by telephoning into the mine to hurry the men back to the farm end of the slope two miles away, saved their lives.
 The men killed had started out of the mine before the message came and were caught by the flood
 As the water subsided the miners were finally rescued by digging through the soft mud and wading in water waist deep through the man. way.

ran their own artillery and pressed or with only machine guns proceeding them.
 Since the1, however, the guns have been brought up and are pumping shells at the far side of the canal, es- peciallp at the point where it is cross ed by the >ArrasC Cambrai road, for here is bridge, and the concentration of fire undoubtedly is seriously hin derlng the enemy efforts to get his transports and his guns on the east side.
 Some idea of the German disorgan- ization may be had from the fact that number of crews of German howitz CTS captured were standing around their guns which had blown up.
 Are Without Eats.
 Others complained that they had had nothing to eat for four days, be- cause of the great disorganzation at their rear.
 The lact of German shell fire was explained in many instances when gunners captured said they had no ammunition.
 Many times, they declared they could have fired with open sights into the advancing British but they had no shells and could not get any.
 The fighting this afternoon seems to be more vigorous along the north ern part of the Hindenburg line than elsewhere.
 The British are sweeping along astride it from the point where it joined the Drocourt line at Queant.
 Considerable progress is reported and large numbers of Germans have been killed or taken prisoners.
 Thousands Coming In.
 Thousands of prisoners are coming into the cages.
 One army had six thousand Ger mans In it's cages this afternoon. How many machine guns were captured will not be known for many days, but there were thousands.
 The prisoners were of all sorts, in- cluding cavalrymen, who had been dismounted and fought as the infan- try.
 The hard pressed German comN an der took men from anywhere no mat ter what they were supposed to be doing and put them in the line with rifles and machine guns in an effort to stem the tide.
 Impossible to Estimate.
 How many dead there are it is inn possible even to estimate The scene of the battle in many places shows that the Germans suffered terrible losses.
 The eGrmans formations which op- posed the British have been literally torn to pieces and the tearing still continues along the Hindenburg line and to the south.
 London, Sept. 3.-The report of the German evacuation and the Brit ish occupation of Lens which was cur rent here today, is not confirmed from any official source and seems at least to be premature.
 It is worthy of note that Field Marshal Haig's communication from British headquarters in France to- night mentions only slight advance of the British outposts.
 A French report late this evening says that fighting is in progress in the suburbs.

 0F THE NEW YORK
 STATE REPUBLICANS
Nominated For Third Tcrm-Keyes Successful in New Hamp-
 shire.

New York, Sept. 3.-Charles S Whitman will be the Republican can didate for a third term as governor of New York
 He will be opposed in the coming campaign by Alfred E. Smith, presi- dent of the board of aldermen of New York, and the choice of the unofficial Democratic state convention.
 The party candidates were deter mined at the primary election today
 Attorney General Merton E. Lewis, backed by several of Republican lead CTS of the state, including William Barnes of Albany, who sought the nomination in opposition to MT. Whitman, was literally showed under.
 With about half of the districts in the state missing his vote was 35,507 as compared with 95,7S5 for Whitman.
 MT. Smiths victory was even more decisive than that of Mr. Whitman. Osborne, running independently with out organized support.
 The Osborne vote was virtually neg ligible.
 Edward Schoenbeck was renOminat- ed by the Republicans for lieutenant governor.
 The close of the contests waged by the Republicans was between senator Charles D. Newton and deputy attor- ney general Alfred l.. Becker of Buff falo, for the nomination for attorney general, but Newton backed by the Whitman organization was a compar- ative easy winner.

The director general adopted most of the recom- mendations of the board of railroad wages and working conditions, which investigated requests of employees for more pay. Pay increases for railroad telegraphers are the subject of anoth- CT report to be made soon to the di- rector general.

Germans Intend Drastic Means
 Over the Line

London, Sept. 3.-The evacuation of Lens tends to confirm the theory that the Germans have decided upon drastic shortening of their whole line.
 Lens was powerfully defended, the lines in front of it resting on laby- rinth of coal piles and heaps of mine debris. ~
 They were an integral part of the German defense on the western front, being aligned to the northward with the Labasse position and the Messine ridge and to the southward with the Hindenburg defenses and Lafere.

50 evident IS growing the disOrgani zatlon among the Germans shown in reports from the British front that some officers are inclined to think if possible that the enemy may be 1orced to a Withdrawal to the Rhine this year.
 tuners, however, feel that the skill the German leaders have displayed does not warrant any anticipation of an early collapse of the military ma chimes.
 American Uuits in the Fighting.
 On all sides it is evident here that announcement of the formation of the hrst American field army and the fact that many American units which had been brigaded with the French or British for final training have been Withdrawn to be added to it have been taken to mean that the Americans would attack during the present year.
 Ample time remains, it is said, for the organization of the force to be completed and the assault launched before winter intervenes.
 The American army, officers here believe, from an ideal instrument with which General Foch will be able to deliver real offensive coup when he deems the field ready.
 The present fighting, in this view is preparatory to the delivery of such a blow and it now appears probable to many observers that it will be de- livered soon and probably in a re- zion to the east of Rheims or of Yer dun where the concentration of enc my reserves to meet it will be the most difficult because of the bitter fighting in Flanders and Picardy.
