GERMANS STRONO AS EVER
ON SOMME, BRITISH OFFICIAL
SAYS; PREDICTS BIO EFFORT
XONDON, Oct 27.
"There are more Oerman troops facing
us on tho west front than ever before,"
Major Ocnernl F. 13 Maurice. Chief Di
rector of Mllltnry Operations, told n corre
spondent In contradicting the general be
lief that German soldiers had been taken
from the west to bolster other fronta.
General Maurice declared the Allies were
giving every possible assistance to Ru
mania. Though ndmlttlng the military sit
uation In Dobrudja was extremely serious,
ho thought there was no danger of tho
annihilation or capture of the main Rusno
Rumanlan forcea there.
Tho poBltions on tho Transylvanlan fron
tier wero much mora favorable, he said,
especially on tho northern border.
"AH our recent work in the west ' hai
been preliminary to a greater effort," said
General Maurice, explaining that tho slow
ing down of the Urltlah offenalvo on the
Uommo has been due entirely to bad
weather.
"Despite tho fact that wo have not made
n large attack In the last fortnight," said
he, "you may notloo that the Oerman offi
cial communiques frequently stnto that
heavy attacks have been repulsed. Such
statements nre purely Imaginary.
"Our chief operntlon- was the occupation
of the brow of the ridge extending from
Lo Bars to Thlepval, which was dominated
by the Kcliwaben redoubt. A brigade order
captured from the Oormans states that the
redoubt must be captured at any coat and
offers members of German regiments four
teen days' leave for every English prisoner
brought in The order explains that the
holding of this line by the Urlttsh enables
them to overlook the whole German artil
lery position In the valley of the Ancre,
exposing them to destruction."

The capture of an advanced Russian poal
tlon south of the Tehara River was an
nounced by tho War Office. Ono officer and
eighty men wore captured. AH Russian nt
tocks launched during the last twenty-four
hours were beaten off, tho statement added.
Tho toxt of tho report follows:

southern part of tho wooded Carpathians
further attacks by tho Russians nnd Ru
manians failed. Attempts by tho enemy
to advance on the eastern frontier of Tran
sylvania broke down.
On the Tehara the Russians again twice
repeated their attneks without result. The
storming companies were driven back by
tho flro of the garrisons of tho trenches.

HERMAN TROOPS RATTLE
TO SAVE VAI1X; FOUR TEUTON
COUNTER-ASSAULTS CRUSHED
LONDON, Oct 27.
The Germans made four violent counter
attacks In a vnln effort to rewln the Douau
mont position nnd remove the French
menace to Fort Vaux, which Is now only
S00 jnrds from Oenernl Nlvelle's lines,
nnd Is expected to fall before the next
French rush
French military experla assert that the
alow reaction of the nermann at Verdun
nnd their apparent lack of strength Indi
cate that Hlndenburg no longer has a gen
eral reserve, but was forced to draw upon
othtr sectors for the men hurled Into the
assaults.
The capture of Vaux would restore the
lino held by tho French on February 2S.
Herlln admits the loss of Douaumont and,
the failure of the counter-attacks. Ho eager
were the Germans to retrieve themselvea,
sas tho Ucrlln statement, that the troops,
when ordered to lake up positions north of
the fort, did so "reluctantly and only upon
strict command." The repulse of violent
attneks ngalnst Vnux nre claimed.
Paris Is especially happy over the re
port, from the front that tho French losses
are far loss than tho number of prisoners,
which has reached a totnl of B000. A big
percentage of the wounded were only
slightly hurt.
In the Itavlno of Death tho Oermnna had
gathered guns of every cnllber, all' of which
fell Into tho handa of tho victors.
General Joffro's Judgment of men Is em
phasised onro moro by the Verdun drive.
All threo lieutenant generals who led j.he
attacking divisions, tinder the supreme com
mand of General Mnngin, were lieutenant
colonels at tho outbreak of the war, and
wero picked by Joffro for their Initiative.,
energy and ability In tho technlquo of war.
On tho Homme the weather has hampered
Infantry combats, but tho big guns on both
sides nre ceaselessly pounding tho opposing
lines. Tho Oormans were beaten back In

'The Geutinc Idea in its aim at higher levels, pre

retailing;
Dependability
In these days of high leather prices
and a consequent wide-spread substitu
tion, imitation and cheapening o qual
ities, it is especially advantageous to
the purchaser of Geuting Shoes, that
Mr. A. H. Gcuting's knowledge of shoe
and leather values, gained through the
merchandising of nearly 11 million dol
lars' worth of shoes guides him in
selecting only such makes of shoes as
will uphold the high Geuting standard
of service. v
Variety
This store is the marketplace for
the products of not one or two, but of
FOURTEEN famous shoe factories
embracing the essence of the world's
best style thought, modified or intensi
fied by Mr. Geuting to meet Philadel
phia desires.

Even the 'highest quality leather
and the finest shoemaking will not
make the foot comfortable if the last is
not scientifically correct. Geuting health
lasts are sculptured and passed upon by
an eminent orthopedic surgeon, creat
ing a higher degree of foot-health and
greater comfort, with the utmost grace
and symmetry.
Service
To better has been our inspiration.
Fine has been refined. Three Geuting
Brothers are constantly at your service
from the opening hour until the even
