London- Combles, the pivotal point
In tha German Una guarding the ap
proach to Hapaunie, on tha north, ami
Peronne on the aouth, of tha Somme
front, fall Wedneaday before attack s
of French and Hritiah, the Germane
fighting to death, or aurrendering
when there waa no longer hope.
French and Brltiah troops sw ept in
from th ree aides a fte r th eir capture of
Morval and Fregieourt. broke through
th e German defenses, overran the
town and carried all before them.
This (dace, w ith ita marvelous su b ter
ranean passages and powerful fortifica
tions, had been caught in the g rip of
the entente allies, who, coming from
the north and aouth, had already ad
vanced far beyond It ami cut off com
munication w ith the rear, except a
narrow strip which was covered by the
allied guns.
At the end of the fighting the town
was filled w ith the bodies of Germans,
the French official statem en t says.
Prior to the loss of Comblea, the
effect of the French and Brltiah arm
ies in th e capture of inqiortant s tr a t
egic points on the previous day was re
flected in the official communication
issued by the German war office,
which, a fte r describing briefly the
g reat artillery bombardment of the en
tente allies, lasting four days, and the
attack between the Ancre and the
Somme, adm ita th a t “ th e conquest of
these villages on the line of Gueude-
court m ust be recognized,“ and add»:
“ But before all we m ust think of our
heroic troop# who faced the united An
glo-French principal force and the
massed employment of m aterial of the
whole world's war industry, prepared
during many m onths.”
Thiepval, at the northw estern end of
the B ritish line, and th e fortified town
of Gucudecourt, northw est of I.ea
Bouefa, also have fallen to the B rit
ish. G eneral S ir IKiuglaa H aig ’s men,
a fte r capturing Thiepval, drove on
eastw ard and took the Zollern redoubt,
a strongly fortified position which lies
between Thiepval and the bend in the
British line a t Courcelette.
The French likew ise advanced be
yond Fregieourt and captured the
woods between th a t villago and Mur-
valand the g rea ter p art of the German
fortified positions lying between thia
woods eastw ard across the Bcthune
road to the w estern portion of the St.
Vaaat woods, nipping off another por
tion of the German line of com munica
tion south of Bapaume.
The German casualties in the fight
ing are declared by P aris to have been
heavy, and, in addition, during the
two days' fighting, more than 1200
Germans were made prisoners by the
French, while the B ritish took in ex
cess of 1500.
Large q u an tities of
booty were taken by th e entente allies.

Ixmdon — Of the 12 big Zeppelins
which Invaded the B ritish Isles S atu r
day night to deal death and destruction
from the skies, two lay Sunday stark
and black masses of steel amt alum i
num in the little village of Mangold,
Essex county.
One came down a flaming torch,
while the aeccnd, diaabled by gunfire,
effected a landing, which aaved the
livea of the crew, who are now pria-
onera In England.
The crew of the
firat raider died In the conauming
llamea of th eir own ahip.
The death and burning of the firat
Zeppelin waa witneaaed by tana of
thouaanda of Ixmilun residents, but the
wounding and descent of the second
raider waa a m atter of doubt until offi
cial statem enta were given out. Few
detaila are available of thia aecond
raid er's condition, but it ia reliably re-
portetl th at the crew surrendered to
special conatablea.
Many who saw the ahrapnel bursting
like skyrockets about the invader,
which subsequently caught fire, think
there muat have been several direct
hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and
attacked the Zeppelins from all aides.
The raiders took a heavy toll of lives
before th e ir destruction, 28 persons
being killed and 99 wounded in the
m etropolitan d istric t of Ixmdon. Two
persona were killed, probably four, and
17 wounded in the provinces.
The property dam age, while widely
distributed, ia confined for the most
p art to amall dw ellings and ahope,
some em pty cars being deatroyed and
p art of th e track* torn up.
The roar of dropping bombs waa
heard in many d istiic ta where the
raiders were invisible. It ia not be
lieved th a t more than tw o or th ree in
vading Zeppelin* which croased tile
east coast succeeded in reaching the
environs of Ixindon, and th a t tw o of
these paid the death penalty givea the
g reatest satisfaction to th e m ilitary
authorities.
Seattle Ferryboat Triton Sinks
While Crossing lake Washington
S eattle — The Lake W ashington
steam er Triton, owned by the Ander

approaching Byera’ Landing on the
east shore of Lake W ashington and

Auditor C loses S eattle Institution.
S eattle — The E quitable Savings,

who took charge of all records. In
le tte rs sent to th e stockholders, Au

overloaded w ith real estate which had
depreciated in value and which made it
impossible for the association to “ con
tinue in business.”
H. O. Shuey,

liab ilities amount to 175,000. The
assets equalled the liabilities, but
could not be realized on im m ediately.
