The capture of -lTh!cpvnl nnd (ho German works form lng the Thtcpval salient is admitted in an official report issued by the, War Office today. LONDON, Sept 27. In two days of tho great battle on tha Eommo front, the British alone have cap tured between S000 and 4000 prisoners. General Halg reported this afternoon. The War Office in its regular day report ttated that further progress has been made In the direction of Faucourt LAbbaye, fhetmllcs northwest of Combles, and that nine German aeroplanes have been shot down or damaged In atr flights on the British front. The text follows: The new positions gained by us dur ing the last two days were consolidated during the night. Patrol detachments pushed forward at many places and are In close touch with the enemy. We made further progress during the night, particularly In the direction of Faucourt L'Abbaye. TVo carried out successful trench raids opposite Beau-mont-Hamel. In the neighborhood of Loos three hostile aeroplanes were de stroyed. In air fighting on Monday six enemy machines were downed or , damaged. British and French troops, charging In from opposlto sides of Combles, met near the heart of tho' town shortly after dawn and exchanged greetings amid the din of Uttle. The British had fought their way through a, wood on the northwestern outskirts of the town. They beat down stubborn Ger man resistance In this wood, but, once through, entered Combles Itself without ttrong opposition. The French, approach ing from the southeast had o fight their jjray through several rows of German trenches and .fortified redoubts. The underground caverns In Combles were filled with Germans wounded In the last two das,,BflgJjtlw!.arorundJlhBvtllage. who had been unable to escapobecause of the tightening of the Anglo-French noose. The most successful bjow struck by Anglo-French troops since the battle of the Marne has brought the capture of Feronne and Bapaume appreciably nearer. It Is possible, English military critics said today, that both these towns, the Immediate objectives of the great Allied offensive, will fall within a fortnight The apparent ease with which German resistance collapsed at Thiepval yesterday, following the capture of Combles, surprised military observers here and led them to predict quick victories for the British and French In the drives on Peronne and Bapaume. Tile final dash against Combles developed Into some of the most savage fighting of the whole war. The Germans caught In the southwestern angle of the village stuck to their machine guns bravely and died at their posts. The French, advancing through the cemetery on the southeast, were ro- peatedly counter-attacked by Teuton de tachments thattormed their lines In the face of certalnjieath. The few Germans who escapes' retreated hastily toward Sailly, falling back a dis tance of more than two miles. Details of the capture of Thiepval are till lacking.

NUGENT STRIKES BACK AT WILSON; BEATS WESCOTT Jersey Politician by Nomi nating Martine for Sen ' ator Gets Revenge COLGATE LEADING EDGE THENTON, Sept. 27. The renomlnatlon of United States Senator James E. Martine over Attorney-General John TV. Wescott at the Democratic primary yesterday was as sured today by late returns. This is a smashing blow to the Wilson forces In New Jersey, the President's home State. Wes cott was put up by the Wilson men to defeat Martine for the nomination because the "farmer orator," os Martine Is called, has not always responded promptly "to the crack of the Wilson whip. In Wescott's de feat politicians see the revengeful hand of James R. Nugent Late figures from Hud son County give Martine 16,000 over Wes cott. Martine was strongly supported by German-Americans and also by Irish-Americans who npplauaed"'his''fesohitio'n forInterven tlon by the President to save Roger Case ment Wescott is said to have lost many labor votes because he as Attorney General prosecuted persons arrested during the Roosevelt (N.

CORRECTION FAVORS COLGATE Through an error of 10,000 votes In the early Essex County returns made in favor of his opponent, Austen Colgate, Repub lican candidate for Governor, is leading Walter E. Edge In the New Jersey primary by more than 5000 votes this afternoon. This morning's returns had virtually as sured Edge's nomination. , Martine made his campaign wholly on his record, which record was Just the reason why the Wilson men opposed him. It Is believed In State political circles that the hand of James R. Nugent Demo cratic leader of Essex County, can be seen In Wescott's defeat.

For the last two or three days his temperature has fluctuated around 102, and a great deal of the time he is delirious. No one is allowed in the room with him except his wife and nurses. Mr. Dies carried his great respon sibilities as head of the, Reading Railway to his sick bed, where, In spite of Illness, his mind dwells upon the great unfinished proj ects on which he has worked with untiring energy. Electrification of the Reaa:ngs suburban branches has been one of the great ambi tions of Mr. Dice.

The Identification was made at the Morgue by Mrs. Francis Apman, 420 West ISBth street. New York, a slater of the dead man, and Howard E. Fancey, Gravier's business part ner In the Alhambra garage. New York. Both came to Philadelphia hurriedly on hearing of the shooting. VISITORS UNNERVED Gravier's body also was Identified by Fan cey, with whom he lived at 65-67 West JUth street So' unnerved was Mrs. Apman that she could not view the body, but Identified her brother's clothing. The Identity of Gravier's companion, who the police believe is a wealthy New York society woman. Is a mystery. Mrs. Apman and Fancey, taken to the Jefferson Hospital to Identify the wounded woman, both refused to tell her name. Mrs. Apman, Indignant with the police, went up close beside the woman's cot "I am Joe's sister,1' sne said. "Joe is dead.

"I know who she Is," said Mrs Apman, "but I won't tell you. She Is married and, her husband lives In New York." Mrs. Apman was vexed with the ques tioning. When E. L. Hoey, Coroner's un dertaker, asked her about what manner of burial she wanted for her brother, he says she said: "Oh, put him nafted In a pine box and ship him back to New York." Hpey said Mrs. Apman told him of having been robbed of J10,0"00 worth of Jewels two months ago and after having a detective work on the case she came tb the conclusion that she "never would be able to recover them while my brother Is alive." "Now that he Is dead," she said, according to Hoey, "I feel sure that I will recover them." Mrs. Apman denied that she had said this to Hoey or to the police. The police found several diamond stick pins set In platinum and three diamond rings In a Gladstone bag In Gravier's room. They were worth between (3000 and $10,000, the police said.

Thousands of young men re turned from the various Insanitary training camps In high disgust at the treatment they had recched. The guard has never fully recovered from the stigma place upon It at that .time. 'Thousands of Philadelphia men broke home and business ties to go to the bor der. In the aggregate their patriotism cost tbem millions of dollars. They are go ing to be a sore lot of men if they return to this city and Hnd that Philadelphia has not appreciated what they have done.
