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.

Boy,
Seventeen, Seeks Parent Who
Murdered His Mother.
The seventeen-year-old son of
Jason S. Haines, of Bridgeport, Conn.
who murdered his wife on Monday in
Trumbull, led a searching party in the
woods and swamps in the neighbor
hood in an effort to find Haines.
The man’s own bloodhound was put

All the roads leading from Trumbull
are guarded by armed deputy sheriffs.
Haines is believed to be hiding in one

Satory proving grounds, Gen. Cremer
was seriously wounded by the acci
dental explosion of a mine. He and
members of his staff were hurled some
distance by the explosion. Gen. Cre
mer has a broken thigh.
Turks Supplied from Bulgaria
As soon as the. Turco-Bulgarian
accord was signed great quantities
of food stuffs and supplies en
tered Turkey from Bulgaria. So
large was the shipment of petrol that
the price dropped seventy-five per
cent.
Allles Buy Barbed Wire
The allies have ordered 6,000 tons
of Barbed -vire, to use in Flanders,
from a Pittsburgh concern. The or

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.
Trapped by flames which enveloped
their home while their mother was
calling on a neighbor, four children
of Daniel Kish were burned to death
at Large, Pa.
Killed in Quarrel
Struck in the face by his brothen
in-law, Roy Reynolds, during an al.
tercation, Lawrence Singleton, 23
years old, of Slate Hill, near York,
Pa., was instantly killed when his
head struck a stone with such vio-
lence that his neck was broken.
Pitched Ball Kills Player.
Russell Kistler, twenty-nine years

Marysville.
40,000 Germans Die in Flood
Russian War office Says Teutons
Fail to Make Gains in Riga and
Dvinsk Regions.
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.
