' 3 THIRD GERMAN UNE IS SMASHED BY THE BRITISH Haig's Troops Pierce, Shatter and Occupy the Enormous Thiep- val-Combles Barrier. London, Sent. 15. â€" The British tore wide open the enormous Thiepval- 1 Combles salient. In a twelve-hour battle on the eight-mile front from Thiepval to Ginchy, in the face of twelve hundred of the Kaiser's most powerful Runs â€" 150 to a mile â€" th«y stormed, pierced, shattered and then occupied that stretch of the German front north of the Somme which hitherto had afted as a block to their advance on Combles and Bapaume. The barrier broken down. Sir Douglas Haig's troops pu.^hed considerably be- yond it to the north-east, carrying the menace of the Somme drive almost as ominously close to Bapaume as it is to Combles and Peronne. The end of the fighting saw the British in possession of practically all the high ground between Combles and the Albert-Pozieres-Bapaume highway. Three villages â€" Flers, Mar- tlnpuich and Courcellette â€" and High Wood, were completely captured, as was the greater part of Bouleaux Wood. The powerful German redoubt called "Wunderwerk" (Wonderwork), because of its supposed impregnabil- ity, was taken by storm in the turning of the salient's tip near Thiepval. More than 2,300 prisoners were tak- en, including 65 officers. The day was the most successful for the British since the initial phase of the Somme battle. For three days their infantry had enjoyed compara- tive rest, while the artillery paved the way for the new crush. Frenrh Co-operated. The French, though r it launching an attack on a large front, worked hand-in -hand with the British in drawing the ring around Combles still Markets Of The Worldi"HELL" MACHINE OF THE BRITISH closer. The French War Office an^ nojnces that General Foch's troops took a system of German trenches 500 metres deep north of Le Frieze farm, which f(;ll into their hands yes- terday. The British took by storm a group of Gorman trenches south of Raneourt, two miles from Peronne. South of the Somme tl.ey captured three Ter.ton trenches near the vil- lage of Berny-on-Santerrc, taking 200 prisoners. Apart from the results scored, the resumption of the British part in the Somme drive was remarkable for two features. Never before has an attack been marked by .such close and successful co-operation by the "eyes of the army," the aviators. The clash of the infantry legions on the blood- soaked ground was accompanied by a battle royal in the air. The British fliers were met by a cordon of Teuton aviators, and two air fleets vieing with one another in daring, tenacity and skill. The British, according to the night report from headquarters, proved their superiority. Thirteen German machines were destroyed; nine others were brought down in a damaged condition. The British lost four. Cheered as They Charged. The second spectacular feature of the battle was the introduction by the British for the first time of a new type of armored motor car, whose powerful traction enables it to cross trenches and shell craters as if going over smooth ground. A number of these new "wonder machines" whir- red into the buttle with the infantry and in the midst of the hail of shell the men cheered as they charged.

A despatch to New York says: From official British sources The New York Times received on Tuesday the translatitn of a letter found on a German prisoner captured in the bat- tle of the Somme. The prisoner, writing to his family in Stuttgart, said that the Germans had received or- ders "to take no prisoners, but to despatch them with the bayonet." With the translation came a photo- graph of the original letter, which w^as addressed to "Karl Koch and family, Kaltenal, near Stuttgart." A part of the letter, as officially translated, follows: "And now we had three days' rest, and I could get nothing at all to drink except costly wine. It is very dis- agreeable to us that we are obliged to go through it once again; you can- not conceive it. So many of our com- rades are missing, who have fallen or were wounded during the week, and now ..we are obliged to go through it once more. Oh dear! Here we have proper Englishmen against us, and have orders to take no prisoners, but to despatch them all with the bayon- et, which I would not be sorry to do. But they are always getting more prisoners from us, and what do they do with them?" POINCARE'S THANKS TO BRITISH KING. A despatch from London says: President Poincare telegraphed King George in reference to his award of the Military Cross to the town of Verdun: "The French army has received with pride this high testimony of esteem given by the august sovereign of a great friendly allied country." The King in reply, said: "It was a real pleasure for me to award the Military Cross to the heroic town of Verdun, whose name ever shall evoke ineffaceable recollec- tions of victory in her glorious re- sistance against the stubborn and re- iterated attacks of the common en- emy."

I Other wi'iters say that the "tanks" ' smash trees and other like obstacles A despatch from Paris says: By its victories last week the French of- fensive has ac-hieved what the Ger- mans asserted was im.possible. It has driven a wedge right through the or- â-  iginal German front, has definitely „ "broken the line" of boaKt.ed impreg-; nable fortifications .stretching across France from beyond the north-west- ern frontier to the limits of Switzer- 1 land. I The village of Bouehavesnes and I'Abbe Wood farm beyond it were clearly behind the rows of trenches . which aerial observation showed to be barring the French advance when the Somme offensive began. That under the menace of the onrushing French tide the Germans have hastily con- structed other lines still further in the rear of the lost positions does not de- tract from the moral value of the achievement that filled the battle- weary troops with enthusiasm. Tremendous as is the moral value of the late.st success, its strategic . effects are even more important still. Highroad No. 37 of the great arteries feeding the German front has been cut between Bapaume and Peronne, and by their advance beyond Hill 70 the French now menace directly and already sweep with their artillery the main road from Paris to Lille via Cambrai, the loss of which is expected to fori e the German high command to consider seriously the necessity of a withdrawal to the inner line, Douai, Cambrai, Laon, that famous "short- ening of the front" that is expected here to mark the beginning of the end. Of more immediate value is that Peronne is now under French Are from the north, west, and south, which cuts it from all communica- tions except along communication trenches or by dangerous night trans- port. Now insteail of being "before Per- onne," the French are at its very gates. 5 AUSTRIAN POSITIONS TAKEN BY ROUMIAN INVADERS More Than Nine Hundred Prisoners and Much War Matsrial Captured in Transylvania. :i to d. 35 27c ; 28 to 1 cent London, Sept. 17.â€" Tlie capture of five Austrian positions by the Rou- manians operating in the Transylvan- ian Alps was announced by the Bu- charest War Office to-night.

A despatch from London says: Two _. brigadier-generals have been killed in Military Police Start Drive as Horses An Enemy Seaplane Station Was Successfully Bombed on Lake Angern, in the Gulf of Riga. "*^« A Reuter despatch from Petrograd to London says that tour giant Rus- (ian aeroplanes of the Murometz type bombarded a German seaplane station on Lake Angern, in the Gulf of Riga, where seventeen seaplanes of various sizes and models were dis- cerned. The Russians dropped 73 bombs, with resultant Are and smoke, which soon concealed tho seaplane sheds. German machines attacked the Rus- sian machines, but were soon put to flight with machine guns. During the bombing and air flght not less than eight German machines were destroy- ed or put out of action. The Rus- I slan aeroplanes returned safely, not- withstanding they were shelled by I anti-aircraft guns. On a previous occasion, the corre- spondent says, one Murometz ma- chine, with a crew of Ave, routed sev- en German seaplanes which attacked it action, according to the latest casu alty lists printed here â€" Henry Fred erick Hugh Clifford and Louis Mur- ray Phillpotts.

The boat parrying him was sunk by Bulgarian artillery, the advices state, and the General was drowned in the Danube. A despatch from Petrograd says: Gen. Korniloff, who was captured at Dukla Pass in April, 1915, has reach- ed Kietf after escaping from an Xns- trian prison cnmp at Essek. Gen. Korniloff was kept prisoner for 17 months. He finally managed to procure a private's uniform, and in these clothes, with the aid of a Czech soldier, contrived to be sent out with a working party. Taking ailvantage of the momentary inatten- tion of the guard they slipped away, boarded a train and travelled unhin- dered to Karashevish. Here they obtained civilian clothing and contin- ued their journey afoot, helped by a perfect knowledge of German. The General's fliRht was soon dis- covered, and a large reward was of- fered lor his recppture. It was too dangerous to travel except by night. In the day time they hid in the woods and suffered extreme hunger for days together, subsisting on berries. One day the soldier ventured into a village in (luest of food. He was surrounded by gendarmes and shot in attempting to escape. Korniloff, who was rapidly ap- proaching complete exhaustion, con- tinued his journey alone. On the 26th day alter his escape he met a party of Koiimanian shepherds, who guided him across the Russian frontier. There is great rejoicing throughout Russia over Korniloff's return. His reputation for bravery is unexcelled by that of any other officer in the Russian army. FOOD RIOTS IN HAMBURG, ANGRY WOMEN RAID SHOPS BEST GERMAN AIRMAN KILLED IN ACTION.
