Paris, Sept. 27.-Reports at this
hour from the battle front in the
Champagne between the Suippe and
Meuse rivers indicate that the at
tack Of the French and American
forces is progressing under the most
favorable conditions.
General Gouraud's fourth army in
the Champagne resumed it's attack
this morning from the positions cap
tured from the Germans yesterday. 7
The assault is progressing sattsfac-
torily. The French have attained all
their objectiyes. ..
The prisoners captured by the
French today have not yet been
counted.
American troops in their attack
northwest of verdun appear to have
attained all and more than all they
attempted.
he Americans were confronted by
the German fifth army. This force
had been diluted which explains the
relatively small number OF prison
ers taken.
The American advance over most
difficult ground amidst woods is
looked upon here as fine feat OF
arms. Montfaucon whose heavy
silhouette dominates the horizon
was passed by the Americans and
now is we'll within the newly con-
quered ground.
Caught In Argonne.
The. Argonne forest itself is dead
ground" between the two attacking
fronts but the capture by the Arneri-
caans of Montblainville Con the east
ern outskirts Of the forest) bottles up
the Germans holding the positions
in front OF Four de Paris. Germans
now have the French in front OF
them and the Americans at their
back. The Germans, it is believed
here, have only one division in the
Argonne. This force now has no
other means Of retreat but over the
rough roads leading northward
through the woods.
"By taking Varennes and Mont-
faucon with a series Of positions that
General Won Gallwitz considered so
impregnable says Marcel Hutin in

have given a magnificent new edi-
ton OF their victory in the st.

.HAIG'S MEN ATTACK
AT DAWN ON A WIDE
FRONT NEAR DOUAl
(By Associated Press

London, Sept. 27.-Britsh troops attacked on a
wide front south of the Sensee river this morning,
cording to report received here from Field Marshal
Hag First reports indicate that satisfactory progress
is being made.
The British lines we're advanced slightly north of
the Sensee in local operation during last night and
there were successful local attacks in Flanders The
text of the field marshal's report follows:
cat 520 o'clock this morning our troops attacked
over wide front south of the Sensee river First
ports indicate that satisfactory progress is being made
"During the night successful local operations were
carried out in the neghborhood Of Arleux northwest OF
La Bassee and southwest of Fleurbaix. Our line was
advanced in these localities and prisoners captured"
The Sensee river is small stream flowing to the
northeast and paraeng the south the Scarpe river
which passes through the city of Doua one OF theprn
cipa German bases on the Artois 'front.' in France. 1t
is probable that the British attack made for the pur
pose of driving wedge between Douai and Cambria,
about Is miles to the south.

The Berlin message to Copenhagen
gives the first indication OF any
move made by Bulgaria to approach
her enemies with coueiliatory pro-
posals. The message, in its bare out
lines, would seem to indicate that
the premier had taken matters into
his own hands and attempted to
initiate a peace movement for Bull
garia independent of the dynasty.

The Label League presented a most
excellent program following the reg
ular session of the Trades Council
last evening. The members of the
league served coffee and cake and
provided, as sauce for this, stirring
music furnished by Messrs. Whiting,
MsNamara and Schomber. Dancing
was INDUCED in by those inclined to
this sort of pleasure.
The council provided for special
committee to look into the patronage
of the non-union laundries by certain
firms who are enjoying the good will
of organized labor. The idea of the
Council Is that the union laundry
represents conditions of employment
which should appeal to all right
thinking people, while the opposite

shown in detail in other parts OF this

testimony which before the Oxman
exposure convinced two juries thae
Mooney, Mrs. Mooney, Billings, and
Weinberg were in an automobile at
the scene of the crime was too weak,
after the exposure. to convince any
body that either Mrs. Money or
Weinberg were in the automobile or

was not an accident, but was the re-
suit of a consistent policy of con-
spiracy and corruption. Fickert is
seen throughout this report to be
prostituting his office in other cases
precisely as he prostituted it in the
bomb cases. and if there was pre-.
viously any doubt as to whether a
prisoner whom powerful interests de-
sired to convict would receive a fair
trial at the hands of Fickert there is
now no doubt about the matter what
ever. The San Francisco district at.
