Ifwon a big victory on the Sommo front by penetrating; the important town of
wmDics. ucsperaie nanq-to-nana lighting is now raging in the streets between
Xh$ Ango-Frcnch troops and remnants of the German garrison.
Attacking 'the German positions simultaneously north and south, the British
and .French vied with each other to be the first to enter Combles, the honor
falling to General Hnig's men. However, the French were able to occupy the
southern outskirts and Combles's cemetery, on the eastern edge of the town.
To the east of Combles tho Germans were rolled back from fortified villages,
jwhich they strovo stubbornly to hold. By the capture of Fregicourt, a mile cast
of Combles, by the French, the Allies forged a steel ring around the town and
cut the only lino of communication that tho Germahs still held.
i j. vjtwi.uiiD Him unaui-vi'ssiuuy u lessen tne pressure on tne sommo
front by attacking south of Bcthunc. These attacks were repulsed.
On the eastern front the Russians aro again flinging great masses of troons
against the German and Austro-Hungarian positions and violent battles have
developed, particularly in the Carpathians.
Savage fighting developed at several po'mts along the line in Greek Mace
donia. On the west end of this front the Bulgarians made strong counter
attacks, which the French, RusSlahsi and Serbians have checked.
The recapture of Vulcan nnd Szurduk Passes, in Transylvania, by the
Rumanians is admitted officially by Berlin.
In addition to sky actions over the battle fronts, both the Allies and Germans
carried out raids. British airmen bombarded central Belgium and the Germans
again attacked England with Zerfpelins, killing twenty-nine persons.
Tho revolutionary movement in Greeqo is spreading and now extends to
Corfu. The commander of the Greek garrison at Corfu deserted his post and
has gone to Salonjca to join the revolutionaries.

rETROGRAD, Sept 26. Although the
official communications have shed tittle
light on recent developments In the war
situation. It Is learned from staff officers
that after a long lull the battles at all im

are again assuming the intensity which
characterized the first period of his ad

pathlans, and In each of these territories
there has been a general resumption of the
fighting, which hns spread to adjacent sec
tors until the whole southwestern war the
ater, from the Prlpet jnarshe to the Dan
ube, may be said to be again In action.
The nature of this actlpn, however, has un
dergone a conspicuous change since the
first smashing blows In Brueslloffa cam
paign, i
Although the Russians still claim the
initiative, it Is evident, that the Oerman
counter-attacks ore becoming constantly
more frequent and more vigorous, and in
the large numbers of reinforcements sent
to these regions from other fronts, as well
as the mors aggreselve character of the
Oerman fighting-, there are signs that Field
Marshal von Illndenburg, the new chief of
staff, is planning a new camjmlsn to re
cover the old positions before winter sets In.
To meet this the Russians have already
begun a fresh offensive, ths.detallaof whleh
have not yet been nnouned, but' whleh
has been undertaker! on a large scale, with
the object of making a desperate effort to

LONDON, Sept 8.
Twenty-nine persons were killed In last
night's Zeppelin raid on England, the second
within forty-elght hours. General French,
commander of the home forces, reported
today,
A number of small houses were wrecked
or damage. No damage was done to fac
tories or military establishments.
Seven Zeppelins took part In the raid.
The south, east and nprtheasfcounttea and
north midlands were attacked, principally
Industrial centers In the latter region.
Anti-aircraft played upon the raiders
wi(h considerable effectiveness despite the
fact that none was brought down. The loss
of the two Zeppelins in Saturday night's
raids did not' deter the Germans' from risk
ing, more airships In bombing attacks, but
some British aeronautic experts believe
smaller dirigibles. Instead of the targe super-Zeppelins,
which offer splendid targets,
will visit England on future raids.-

By a Stair Comtvonient
WASHINGTON, Sept 28. Sensational
charges have been made by commissioned
ofilcers of -the Atlantlo fleet that big gun
shells purchased of an Inexperienced mu
nitions manufacturer In Raleigh, N. C, the
home of Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels, were of such Inferior quality that
when fired In battle practice they broke
Into hundreds of plece and dropped over
the ship's side. Instead of carrying several
miles to Jhe target The story comes from
not one ship, but several, and It has be
come a fleet scandal, according to Informa
tion received here today.
Investigation nt the Bureau of Ordnance
disclosed the fact that despite the unsat
isfactory results obtained, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels gave the company In his
home city a new contract for J40.B00 In six
and eight Inch shells as recently as last
month. Secretary Daniels has admitted
that the Raleigh Iron Works Company had
never manufactured shells until given a
contract by the United States Government
for 12,000 of them, ranging In size from
5.S to eight Inches. The first contract was
awarded the company by the Navy De
partment In November, 19U. After that
time tho original purchases were Increased,
so that the total contracts given to date
amount to $155,000.
Secretary Daniels says he Is well ac
quainted with the ofilcers of the company.
He admits' that It Is a small concern, but
little known, and that the making of muni
tions Is a new thing with the company. H
declines to discuss the results obtained from
firing the shells supplied, but contends they
were manufactured as the law requires,
under the supervision of a commissioned
officer of the navy.
Secretary Daniels said the. contract was
awarded the Raleigh Iron Works Company
because It was the lowest bidder.
Commander Charles B. MoVay, Jr., as
sistant chief of ordnance In tbe Navy De
partment, says that before a munitions con
tract. is given to a newtbtdder.a'renresentov
'five of the department' is sent to the nlant
of the bidder to satisfy himself that the
provisions of the contract can be met Per
sons who live n Raleigh say the company
that has received the 1165,000 munitions
contracts under this Administration Is little
more than a backam!th shop, located In the
heart of the city.
Officers of. the navy who attempted to
uso the shells, which cost the United States
from (5.40 to $16.76 each, say that each
one was stamped with the name of the
Raleigh manufacturer. The failure to get
satisfactory results aro generally known
among the officers of the fleet, but neither
Commander StcVay nor any other officer
wouia uiscuss tne report here.
Some of the stories reaching Washington
are to the effect the shells "exploded" as
soon as they left the muxzle of the guns,
but ordnanco officers contend that Is Im
possible, because shells for target practice
do not carry an explosive In the head.
LIST OF CONTRACTS
Considerable curiosity was manifested In
the Bureau of Ordnance when Inquiry was
made for a list of the awards to the Ra
leigh Iron Works. Many questions were
asked as to why the Information was de
sired, and when a statement was requested
as to what reports had teen received from
the vessels Of the fleet a flat refusal re
sulted. The books of the Navy Department show
that the Raleigh Iron Works Company on
November 30, 1914, was awarded Its first
contract as follows:

A crowd gathered quickly opposite Ltary's
book store, on 'Ninth street near Market,
this afternoon when, a .big nego pulled six-year-old
Harry Klalber, Jr., "a cripple, of
3606 Market streel, from the automobile of
.Dr. Louis Golden, E02S Woodland avenue.
The boy screamed and pedestrians, sup
posing that a kidnapping was under way,
hurried to the scene.- la the meantime tho
negro had succeeded In 'pulling the. boy
from the machine Oho big hand grasped
tbe. little cripple around the back of the
neck and the other hand of the negro' had
a grip In tho middle of the boy'.sVbask
where the child .wore a brace, "
"You come with me.V .mumbled the negro)
"stop that screaming1 or I'll 'flx you."
The negro yanked the prlppls roughly
across the sidewalk. The terror-stricken
lad, screaming at the top. of his volee,
grasped with both hands the Iron Tod of
an awning pole, ' and held on with all! his
strength. With an oath tho negro wrenehea
the boy loose and started to drag him' to
ward an alleyway. Attracted by the. boy's
screams a crowd of .two or three hundred
persons collected. Two men stepped -for-
ward to Interfere and this seemed to in-
iunaie me negro. '
"Stand back' he snarled, waving' a big
fist, "the first man whq comes wlll'drof."
At this juncture Joseph Tierney, a reserve
policeman stationed at Ninth and Market
streets, forced his, way through the crowd
and seized the negro. The latter struggled,
but, was subdued with a few taps of th
policeman's blackjack, lie was taken t
Central station, where he was booked as
Daniel Meek, no home.
The Tioy's father Is a tailor. His mother
has been sick and therefore was not told,
of the affair, "Buddy,"' as the boy has
been known in the neighborhood of his
home, has. been a cripple five years, having
suffered an v Injury to hi? spine. He has
been, wearing a brade during that time.
Hysterical from fright and bruised trass
the rough treatment he bad received frass
the hands of the, negro, little Harry was
placed back In the machine and driven !
