Allies Keep Up Terrific Drive. Seventy-nine Teuton Cannon Taken by French Alone—British Batter Third Line of Foe's Defences. The allies are still pushing forward in the terrific drive begun last Sat. urday and are holding all the ground they have gaind. Continuous fighting has been in progress all day on the heights be: tween Souchez and Vimy, where the allied forces have maintained all their positions, according to the official communication issued by the French war office. The text of the statement follows: “Throughout the day the battles have continued on the heights be: tween Souchez and Vimy; we have maintained all the new positions con: quered. “In Champagne the struggle is still violent before the positions to which the enemy has fallen back, as well as for the reduction of a salient to the north of Mesnil, where parties of Ger- mans still hold out. “We have made progress on the slopes of the Tahure Hill and in the neighborhood of the cillage and also the north of Massiges. “A bombardment quite intense on both sides has occurred in the Forest of Le Petre and in the Forest of Apre. mont.” There is no interruption of the fighting in Champagne and the prog- ress of the French in the Artois re- gion continues north of Massiges, the war office says, 1000 Germans surren: dered. German casualties in the recent of- fensive of the French and British, in. cluding killed, wounded and prison: ers, were given officially by the French war office as in excess of 120, 000 men. “The Germans have not only been compelled to abandon along an ex: tended front certain positions strong: ly entrenched in the defense of which they had been ordered to resist to the very end, but they have suffered losses the total of which in killed, wounded and prisoners amounts to more than the effective strength of three army corps (120,000 men),” the war office states. “The total number of prisoners is at the present time in excess of 23,000 men; the number of cannon brought to our rear is seventy: nine. Seventeen thousand and fifty five private soldiers and the officers, taken prisoners by us, already have gone through the town of Chalons on their way to the points where they are to be interned. “In the Artois district the progress reported Tuesday to the east of Sou: chez continued Tuesday evening, and in the course of the night, after a stubborn engagement, we reacaed Hill No. 140, the culminating point of the crests of Vimy and. the orchards ta the south, of this point... The number of unwounded prisoners made by: us in the course of this fighting is more than 300, and the men belong mostly to the two divisions of the “Guard.” The British are battering the third line of the Germans in the vicinity of Loos, above Lens, an important ob. Jective. The Germans have recaptured part of the territory won from them by the British, north of Loos, according to the official statement issued by the Berlin war office. French attacks near Souchez and Neuville are said to have been “partly repulsed.” In the Champagne, French attempts to break through the Ger- man lines, are said to have been un- successful.

TRAIN KILLS NINE IN TUNNEL. Reading Railway Express Dashes Among Workmen in Black Rock Cut, Near Phoenixville. Nine men were killed and eight others seriously hurt when an express train over the Philadelphia and Read- ing railway ploughed through a gang of workmen in a tunnel near Phoenix- ville, Pa. The men, nearly all of whom were Italians, were engaged on the work of widening the tunnel and they were standing beside their work train, which was on the northbound track. There are but two tracks in the tun- nel and the men had no chance of escape when the express dashed into th tunnel among them. The dead are as follows: James Tilley, foreman of track crew; Antonio Dadario, Giovanni Granato, Raffaelo Giannine, Domenico Druno, Crecol Padole, Alfonso Sarivis, Alphonso Luziane, John Guiaziamono. Passengers on the express were panic-stricken when the brakes were applied after the locomotive hail struck the workmen. The shouts of the injured and those who escaped were heard by the pas- sengers, who bolted for the doors in an attempt to escape from the tunnel. Trainmen quietedthose abroad by leading them to the last car, from which the end of the tunnel and day- light could be seen. Hurry calls were sent to Phoenixville and Norristown and physicians living near were sum- moned to the scene. Wallace Zimmerman, the injured foreman of the gang of drillers, man- aged to tell of the accident, although he is in a serious condition in the Phoenixville hospital. He said: “l was at work with my gang of drillers in the tunnel. We were en- larging the roof. There are two tracks in the tunnel, and we were 300 feet in the tunnel from the south entrance. We received the signal that the work train, which was on the other track, was going to back out of the tunnel, and the workmen and myself stepped on the other track, which we believed was clear. Then suddenly we saw a tight loom up in front of us and heard the rumble of the oncoming express. Before we could move, the passenger. train dashed among us. “The next thing I remember 1 was lying in the middle 2f the track on which was the work train. [I could not move, and I knew I was badly hurt. I could see the dead and dying men lying scattered around me. It was a horrible sight. Soon I heard the shouts of the rescuers and saw them picking up the men who were lying about and carrying them out of the tunnel. I tried to shout, but could not make a sound. I fainted, end the next thing I knew 1 was here in the hos: pital. How horrible it was!” Further inside the tunnel Tilley was at work with twenty men. After the train ploughed through Zimmerman’s gang it tore ‘through ‘the men’ under "Tilley, who ‘hdd been engaged in pick: ing up rocks and loading them in the work train. U. S. Marine Slain in Hayti Details of fighting between natives and American forces near Cape Hai: tien, in which John Platt, a sergeant of marines, was killed, ten marines were wounded, and more than fifty Haytians were killed, reached the navy department in messages from Rear Admiral Caperton. The first expedition sent out Satur. day afternoon, to Haut du Cap and Petit Anse, near the city, and on the main line of supplies, passed native outposts, whose commanders objected to the expeditions, but offered no re- sistance. The next day, two patrols went out again, and after the expedi- tion reached Haut du Cap, firing be: came general and both patrols were engaged. About fifty natives were killed. The patrols returned to Cape Haitien, last night, and Admiral Caperton reported the supply routes had been complete: ly cleared of hostile forces. Groom Weds Bridesmaid. Jilted at the altar when his bride- elect failed to appear at the appoint- ed time, Michael Ziegler, of Larks- ville, near Ashley, Pa., married the bridesmaid at the home of his prom: ised bride’s parents. The bride-to-be, it was learned, boarded a train for Buffalo and on the same train was a young man from Wilkes-Barre, it is said, and news of an elopement is expected. Every arrangement for the wedding of Ziegler with Margaret Goblin had been arranged and the guests were arriving when the disappearance of the bride-to-be was noted. Ziegler then appeal to Mary Nobel, who was to have been the bridesmaid, and aftera few whispered words a ceremcny was performed, the brides- maid becoming Mrs. Ziegler. Four Children Burned.

The London Times’ Petrograd cor- respondent says: “A report, which has been confirm- ed from a reliable quarter, is that the forty-first German army corps (40,000 men), was overtaken by the flooding of the Pinsk marshes, and, being un- able to escape, nearly the whole of the corps perished.” The same despatch tells of the ap- pointment of General Kuropatkin, who commanded the Russians in the Russo-Japanese war in the battles of Liao-Yang and the Yalu, as a com: mander of an army corps. The correspondent continues: “The military critics here note the almost instantaneous relief on the Russian front between Dvinsk and Os- miana, on the assumption of the of fensive by the allies in the west, which resulted in the withdrawal of the whole German guard corps from Vilna. They expect this transfer to be followed by others of a like char acter, “This relief was welcome, as Gen: eral von Eichhorn’s thrust across the Russian communications in the region of Molodechno was still serious and its danger to the Russian retreat not entirely ended. “The Novoe Vremya’s military critic expresses the belief that the Germans will be obliged to withdraw a com- plete army from this front for the western frontier to repair the losses they already have sustained.” Germans Fail to Make Gain in Riga The Petrograd war office communi- cation says: “In the regions of Riga and Dvinsk there is no material change in the sit uation. The artillery fire in the Dvinsk region has not slackened and the fighting continues with the same! fierceness as previously. “We have repulsed an enemy offen: sive in the Narotohe river valley, in the region of Vileika. “In the region of the railway south: east of Osmiana, the Germans suc ceeding in carrying the village of Las torantze from which, however, we subsequently dislodged them. Stub born enemy attacks have begun again at this point. At many places the enemy still shows extraordinary ar tillery activity. On a sector contain ing a single regiment in this region there were thrown no less than ten thousand projectiles from heavy guns. “A violent battle is being fought in the region of Litvy, a village south east of the Baronovichi railway. “South of the Pripet river and on the Galician front the enemy has opened an attack at many places with considerable forces. At the fords of the Styr, in the Kolki region, many engagements have occurred with ene my detachments. After a stubborn ‘bayonet fight we decupied trenchescin | ‘the village of Vorobievka, northwest of Tarnopol. In the region of the vil lage of Marianka, southwest of Tarno pol the uaexpected appearance on their flank of a small Russian detach: ment threw a German battalion intq panic.” : German aviators dropped bombs on Dvinsk, on Tuesday, causing fires in several places and killing a number of scldiers, according to reports re ceived by the war office. The raid was a complete failure from a mili tary viewpoint, however, none of the important defences being damaged. One of the German aeroplanes was shot down, both the observer and pi: lot being killed. DUPONT POWDERMEN STRIKE Demand 8-Hour Day and $5 Wage Therefor—Car Workers Join.
