i "GREAT DAY OF ii ?ll Rl^ 11 1ili FIGHTING." STRANGE ENEMY REPORT I I I SLIGHT BRITISH SET-BACK IN LATEST i iI i TERRITORY CAPTURED. I CEBMANYS DWINDLING ARMY BRITISH OFFICIAL.  Monday. 11.2 p.m.—Heavy rain fell from !I an early hour this morning. During the day there has been severe ni?hting in and about Eaucourt 1 Abbaye.  The enemy has succeeded in regaining a footing in the buildings. I During the day we have improved our ) positions to the south-west of Gueude- i court and north and east of Courcelct. I I In the last 21 hours in this area we have .taken prisoners one officer and 63 other ranks. t During yesterday's operations our aero- I planes bombed several points of military importance. An enemy kite balloon was brought down in flames. I There were many fights in the air, in the  course of which two enemy machines were i destroyed and many others driven down. We suffered no losses. FRENCH OFFICIAL. Monday, 11 p.m.-To the north of the I 11 Somme we made some progress with gren- If ades during the day to the east of Bouchavesnes. Some 40 prisoners and six machine-guns fell into our hands. In the same neighbourhood a German I detachment taken under our fire towards j the main position of Malasaise was die- i lwrd. leaving about fifty men on the ground. I I To the south of the Somme a small Ger- jjman attack directed against one of our j trenches to the south of Vermandovillers ■ was easily repulsed. i Bad weather hindered the operations i on the Somme front. There was the |> usual intermittent shelling on the re- mainder of the front. It was ronfirmerl that Sergeant-major Vialet brought down his fifth German aeroplane in the region of the Somme. II GERMAN OFFICIAL. Mon(-Iav.-Oi the battlefield north of the Somme there has again been a great day of fighting. On a front of over 12 miles in length, between Thiepval and Rancourt, after a preparatory artillery fire of the greatest intensity, the British and French :) launched their attack. They were re- peatedly repulsed by our well-directed I artillery fire with sanguinary losses, Detachments which had penetrated into our lines had to retreat after hand-to- hand fighting with our unshakable in- fantry. Close to the north bank of the Somme a French partial attack was repulsed. The battle continued all night, and is still proceeding. At some points south of the Somme there was vigorous artillery fighting. North of Mesnil, in Champagne, a Ger- man party returned from a successful enterprise with one officer j and 38 men as prisoners. 1 The military buildings at Calais were attacked by one of our airships. 11 1,287,000 BAYONETS. I i II ENE MY'S TOTAL STRENGTH IN THE WEST. With the French Army, Sept. 30.-Tlae I I problem before us is one of men and i guns. As far as the latter is concerned, we have the irrefutable evidence of Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria that the superiority of artillery is with us. We know also that this superiority is grow- ing week by week. As to men, I am able to give the num- bers of the German divisions on both fronts on authority that is scarcely likely to be mistaken. The enemy has alto- gether 19:3 divisions. Of these 117 have three; regiments eacli, 57 have four regi- ?i uieuts each, aid nineteen are irregularly ? constituted. It should be noted here that the German division properly consists of four regiments, each of three battalions, and that the division of three regiments, or nine battalions, is already the rule, and not the exception. Allowing that the nineteen irregularly made-up divisions have twelve, battalions each, which is a generous allowance, we find that the enemy has in the field some 1,0B5 battalions, or, say. two million bayo- nets. Of his total of 193 the enemy has 69 on the eastern front and 124 equivalent (supposing that all the 57 four- regiment divisions are on this eid?) to 1,287.0? hayoD?te. For obvious reasons it is impossible to discuss the numbers of British and French troops in the field, but it is equally obvious that Great Britain almle is now able to face any army of this size without any anxict,.F.-Prcc-, Association.

11 ». _;L!" '■ I INSURANCE AGENTS AT GLYN- I NEATH. A mfeting of insurance agents was held at Bethania Vestry, Gh-n-Nontb, ofi Mon- day. Mr. Wm. Williams (South Wales District Council secretary) presided, and in Welsh poetry gave a vivid description of the non-unionist agent. Mr. Tom Thomas, Swansea, dealt at some length with the block system, which he said was i' a menace to insurance agents. It was II time. he urged, to organise their forces to [combat the pernicious system. If the i agents were properly organised they would he the most powerful trade union in the country. Mr. J. B..Tames (E.C. member) spoke on the benefits of being a member of the National Union of Agents. A new branch of the X.U. was formed in the district, and the meeting terminated with the usual votes of thanks.

ii wr ST. JUDE'S HARVEST FESTIVAL. The harvest festival services of the St. .Tude's Church were eta tinned on Sun- day, the Rev. Watkin Davies preaching in the morning, and the Rev. David Davies, B.A. (vicar of St. Paul's, Llan- elly) in the afternoon and evening. The were well attended. The sing- ing of the choir was a feature. The utter dependence of man upon God was the main theme of both preachers, and in the bountiful harvest of this year, was to lie seen the cave of God for the world. The offertory on Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon amounted to £ 7 7s., and was given to the Swansea Hospital. The children's gifts on Sunday after- noon, consisting of large quantities of fruit, flowers, and eggs, with that re- ceived on Thursday, have now been dis- tributed to the Swansea Hospital, the Y.M .C.A. Hospital, and the Union In- firmary. On Monday evening, despite the most inclement weather, a large number of J music lovers attended St. Jude's Church to hear a programme otjjiusic arranged by Mr. T. D. Jones, organist of St. Paul's. Skettv. Mr. Jonee. gave a most enjoyable recital on the beautiful now organ, while Mrs. Thorpe, Messrs. G. T. Llewelyn, and George Parkes, and Master Willie Curran, gave delightful renderings of their sacred solos. All were in splendid voice, and the large audience was well repaid for braving the elements. It is hoped to place £ 50 to the credit of the Organ Fund as a result of the offer- tory.

I RUSSIA'S SUCCESSES I t I CUARDED ADMISSIONS IN ENEMY I OFFICIAL REPORTS Guarded admissions of some of the Rus- sian successes (recorded on Monday after- noon) are made in the- German official report of Monday, which says:— W es of Lutsk the firing activity has continually increased. Enemy attempts to attack failed before our curtain fire. At- tempts of the Russian artillery to drive forth their own infantry by firing into their own trenches were attended with no success. At Voinin (about 24 miles west of Lutsk) brief hand-to-hand lighting de- veloped. A counter-attack directed by Lieutenant- General Melior led to the recapture of the position which the Russians captured on Saturday north of the Graberka (a tribu- tary of the Sereth). The enemy left over 1,500 prisoners in our haJids. His attempts to dislodge us failed, as did alfo his re- newed attacks on both sides of the Brody- Lemberg railway, where we captured over 200 prisoners. T'ront of the Archduke Karl.-Easl- of the Zlota Lipa lighting continues for cer- ¡ tain small portions of our positions which the Russians had captured.—Reuter. BIG THINGS HOPED FOR. Petrograd, Monday.—"There is reason to anticipate that the offensive begun in the centre of the south-western armies will not be confined to the initial successes, but will extend north and south of the Lem- berg region, embracing the battlefields of Kovel and Vladimir-Volynski and a wide extent of Galicia," says to-day's Russky Invalid." The fighting reported on the Brody- Lemberg railway is at a point some ten miles to the weft of Brodv in the shortest direction from Lemberg. The militarv experts of the Entente Pov .ers here in Russia regard the success south of Brzezany, in the direction of Tfogatyn, as an important stage towards separating the Leinberg and Halicz a.rm iN,. September (old style) has been one of the best months of the year for the Galicia. military operations. The favourable con- ditions. however, cannot be expected to last longer Ulan another four or five weeks. Reuter.

THE FALL OF COMBLES." How the Allied Forces Rushed the Stronghold. Paris, Monday.—The military eye-wit- ness cays:-Tl)e capture of Combles, which was the sum of the efforts sustained by the British troops and our troops for the week, is the happy culmination of a plan made up of concentrated action. After the capture on the night of Sept. 25th of the advanced line at Gombles, the general impression was that the Germans were becoming there more and more ill at ease. Success was coming, but a formal prohi- bition was issued by the command against entering the place before the right" moment had come. We were waiting until the fruit was ripe. At midnight on the 25th information was received by the first line units that a German officer who was a prisoner had declared that Combles would be evacuated during the night by a low- lying road which had remained free. The time to act had arrived. Immediately measures were taken. The colonel of the 110th Regiment received orders to continue to threaten the village, which the 73rd Regiment would try to enter from the south-west. Out of regard for the fatigue of the regiment it was not given an active role. The J 10th x Infantry Regiment wished to have the honour, and at four o'clock on the morning of the 26th the colonel addressed a message to his troops. He reminded them that it was costly to approach Combles, but," he said, you will not leave to others your share of the glory. We are as ne?r tho place as they. We will go." Patrols belonging to two companies dashed forward from the sotith-? east. while detachments on the left of the 110th Regiment entered from the south- west simultaneously with the 73rd Regi- ment. They had meet the British, who were advancing from the north. A Lon- don regiment was co-operating with the French, and the pass-word was London. The patrols entered Combles, followed by the two companies. They captured the cemetery with a rush, and took the sta- tion. "DETERMINED TO DIE "-BUT SURRENDER. All the Germans left alive, frightened at seeing themselves attacked in the rear, im- mediately surrendered. An otficer said with anger, I have been obliged to sur- render, but you will find in the village another company determined to die" rather than see the French enter Com- bles. Indeed, SUllle detachmellb, on the left wing of the 110th Regiment encoun- tered a violent resistance from machine- gun fire which caused losses, but as soon as the situation was known a machine-i gun detachment of the 110th was ordered to advance westwards with the object of firing from behind into the Germans who resisted. When the company which had sworn to die perceived it was caught iso- lated in the rear, it surrendered, and 500 prisoners were taken by the two battalions. The remainder were killed on the spot in their flight. This manoeuvre was so quickly executed that the British had hardly time to de- houch in order to enter the village. French and British met on the plateau north of the village, and the Allies congratulated one another on the common victory. Briefly the village which the Franco- British forces successfully restored to as was occupied by the French on the morn- ing of Sept. 26th. A company of the 110th Regiment advanced still further and cap- tured a battery protected by casement east of Rancourt-road, pursued the flying Ger- mans, and occupied the chapel of Com- bles and a communication trench. They could not advance further without becom- ing too detached, and organised the ground gained. Combles does not appear to have suf- fered excessively, and seems to show its joy over its deliverance. Hoofs and windows stil lremain-at least the skele- tons of houses. The interior of the I' houses everywhere recalls the expelled enemy. There were concrete shelters, ,and the name-plates on streets had Ger- man names, 6uch as the Rue Kron- prinz Rupprcchl." In the direction of the station there were abandoned war materials. The severely wounded are being tended by the French. There were corpsos everywhere. Some of the men who drove out the Germans, many of whom have their homes in the in. vaded country, were surveying their con- quest. The Zaison officer who accompanied us had left his wife and child at Combrai, and had received no news of them for two years. He remarked quietly: "It seems I the British have been bombarding the station there. So much the better; it was sure to be bombarded one day."

A PARSON'S ASPIRATION. The Rev. Humphrey Chalmers, who. is opposing Lieutenant-General Hunter Weston as an independent Coalition can- didate in the coining oontest for North Ayrshire, has left Wandsworth for the north to carry out his election cam- paign. His chief desire in seeking Par- liamentary honours is to obtain from the Qovernment a frank declaration of its aim with a view of making peace by negotiation possible. The nominattop for k the vacasncy is fixed for Thursday.

CROWN PRINCE SPEAKS. ——— SEES NO PROSPECTS, BUT ADDS "WE II ALL WANT PEACE." PLEA TO AMERICAN SENTIMENT I I Time; War Telegram, per Press Association. (Copyright). New York, Monday (received Tuesday).— The German Crown Prince has given another long interview to an American journalist in the hope of fostering media- tion sentiment in this country. He chose as his medium Mr. William Bayard Hale, now Mr. Hearst's representative in Ger- many. Mr. Hale visited the Crown Prince on Sunday, and was greeted by the f Royal author, who said: All this ter- rible extinction ol human life is blasting the hope of youth. It is not alone for German lives we mourn, but all, including America, will have to foot the bill. That is why the sympathies of your capitalists are with our enemies. Where your treasure is, the heart is. It is a pity your treasure is not invested during these hours of worlil agony in sowing the seed of pre- paration for the fruits of peace. Is there a general who has not bewailed the neces- sities pressed upon us? The Crown Prince next reverted to the pro-specte, confessing he did not- see any. HI have a wife and family, and it is no happiness to look forward to spending Christmas here. I have been home just two fortnights in the two last years. Asked for a message for America, he re- plied: I have to say we feel that your Government has not been quite fair—has not been quite neutral. We feel that the attitude of the United States towards Great Britain is not explained, even when every consideration is given to the direc- tion of your natural sympathies." The Crown Prince expatiated on the absolute certainty and confidence he al- leged the Germans had that the Western front could not be broken. If What," he asked. are our enemies trying to do? I suppose they are trying to kill us off, or to tire us out. Will they succeed? No. We are all tired of the bloodshed. We all want peace. England is the Power respon- Mbfe for the continuation of the hopeless effort to cru?h us. No one can witness the speotable presented by this appalling sac- rifice without wondering whether reason has fled from the earth. The French are gallant fighters, yet cautious, and the Englishmen are the chaps who take sport- ing chances. He commented on the spirit of chivalry which animated the flying (service of all the armies, adding: It is a pity that all cannot be gentlemen and sportsmen, even if we are enemies." THOSE PEACE TERMS. I Amsterdam, Monday. -The Koelnische Volkszietung" has a leading article on what it calls Germany's Three Weapons Behind the Front-viz., Patience, Obedi- ence, and Money. The journal ithen draws a picture of the peace terms which Germany's enemies want to exact. They comprise, it says, the destruction of Germany, the partition of the German Empire into single states, robbery of Ger- many's fleet, merchant ships, and Colo- nies, and war indemnity of from two to three hundred thousand million marks (ten to fifteen thousand million pounds), to be spread over 100 years. Would it not be eternal disgrace for Germany to accept such a peace, -Usociation.

THREE MONTHS' WORK. Joffre Sums Up the Somme I Situation. Paris, Monday.—An Order of the Day by the Generalissimo to the armies in the North says:— September 29.—The General Comma ful- ipg-in-Chief addresses the expression of his great satisfaction to the troops who have been fighting without respite ^n the Somme for close upon three months By their bravery and perseverance they have dealt the enemy blows from whhh he will find it bard to recover. Verdun cleared, five and twenty villages recaptured, mere than 35,000 prisoners taken, 150 cannon captured, the successive enemy lines hroken in on a depth of 10 kilometres— such are the results already achieved. By continuing the struggle in conjunc- tion with our valorous Allies, the brave I Army of the Somme will be assured of their glorious share in the decisive victory.

THE AIR RAIDERS. Germany Admits Her Latest I Loss. Amsterdam, Monday.—The followitjg official communique was issued in Berlni to-day:- During the night of October 1-2 several naval airships successfully dropped bombs on London and military works on the Humber. Despite the heavy firing by anti-air- craft guns, all the airships returned, ex- cept one, which was soot and set on fire by anti-aircraft guns and fell to earth near lond-on.-Press Assoication War Special. HOLLAND'S ADMIRATION. Amsterdam, October 2.—The news of the bringing down of another Zeppelin in England has been received here with great interest, and admiration is expressed for the efficiency, of the British anti- aircraft service. The Niews Van Den Dag says:— That night attacks on the sleeping popu- lation of the towns and villages have absolutely no military importance I is clear to c-very impartial neutral, and be may therefore without the least fear of violating his neutral feelings sincerely and openly rejoioe at the fresh success of the English anti-aircraft Rune and air- men." The paper thinks that the accu- mulating losses of airships will finally cause the Germans to send Zeppelins to places where anti-aircraft guns and air- men are loss efficient t-liaiq around London .—Reuter. The journal concludes: "This is un- doubtedly a great success for Britain. London was unprotected against air at- tacks because the English were not pre- pared for war, cxcept as regards the Fleet. When one thinks how extra- ordinarily difficult it must be first to dis- cover a Zeppelin at night, and then to hit it or destroy it by attacks from airmen, one feels no small admiration for what Britain has achieved in this purely de- fensive war work.Iteuter. REPRISALS URGED. A resolution was proposed at Monday's meeting of the Nottingham City Council (says the Daily Mail "), urging the Gov- ernment to give notice that every German air raid on British towns will be followed by similar attacks on German towns. The resolution met with general support and will be laid before a meeting of Mid- land mayors and chairmen of watch com- mittees to be held at Nottingham on Wed4 nesday to consider air raid defences.

BOMBS ON THE RED CROSS. I Paris, Monday.—It i6 officially an- I nounced that the aerial bombardnient of Bucharest lio6 caused no military dam- age, the bombs having fallen on the Sanatorium, irospital, and Orphans Home, all bearing the Red Croes.-Wire-) Lke6 Frees. <

I MONEY WAITING LOCAL WORKMAN'S REFUSAL TO ACCEPT COMPENSATION Judge Lloyd Morgan was called upon on Monday last to decide a most interest- ing and far-reaching question of the greatest importance to all workpeople. Joseph Creel, steelworker, claimed com- pensation from Richard Thomas and Co., Ltd., of the South Whiles Steel Works, Llanelly, in respect of an injury received during the course of employ- ment on 3rd of August last. Mr. P. Villiers Meager, instructed by Mr. E. Harris, of Swansea, appeared for the ap- plicant, and Mr. Prosser, of Messrs. Kenholes and Prosser appeared for the employers. Mr. Meager explained that the dispute arose in the following way. On appli- cation for compensation, the employers were asked to make an agreement with the workman in the same terms as a County Court award; that is to say, the employers were asked to admit liability and to continue the full weekly pay- ments during the continuance of both total and partial incapacity, and until either the parties agreed upon some vari- ation, or failing agreement the employers were able to satisfy the Court that the weekly payments should be stopped or reduced. The employers, acting upon the advice of the Insurance Commpany, had refused to admit liability in these terms, but had offered to make the full weekly payments during total incapacity, the amount to be paid during partial in- capacity to be settled hereafter. The workman, who was bezing guided by his Trade Union, the British Steel Smelters' Association, had refused the firm's offer and also the weekly payments and pro- ceedings were commenced. No witnesses were called to give evidence for the ap- plicant's case. WORKMAN'S ACTION UPHELD. I Mr. Meager read extracts from decisions of the Court of Appeal and a dicesion of the House of Lords which supported the workman's attitude, and asked his Honour by his award to give what the employers had refused to give by agreement, namely, a right to continuance of the weekly pay- ments until another agreement was made or until the court otherwise ordered. Mr. Prosser called Miss Marsh. In reply to questions she stated that she was re- sponsible for the payment of compensa- tion to men injured at the steelworks. Creel had not applied for his compensa- tion. which was ready for him whenever he chose to call for it. He would not be asked to take it on any conditions. Cross-examined by Mr. Meager, she said that she acted -only upon instructions from the cashier, and did not know what was the question involved. Mr. Prosser argued that, as Creel's com- pensation was ready to be paid whenever he applied for it, no question had arieen, and therefore the court had no jurisdic- tion. He also referred to several decisions of the Supreme Court. At the conclusion of legal arguments, his Honour stated that he was satisfied the workman's attitude was correct. Creel, having refused to accept compensation un- less the employers gave the unqualified admission of liability, acted within his rights, and therefore he wao entitled to an award with costs on Scaue B.

BULGARIAN FRONTS. I Stubborn Fights for Heights. I Amsterdam, Monday (received Tuesday). —An official communique issued in Sofia, dated October Is[, savs:- West and ea.st of Fiorina, our infantry repulsed enemy attacks. North of the village of Armensko, near the village of Kruschograd, and in the region of the vil- lage of Sowitch. there was stubborn *ht- ing for possession of the height of Kaymakalan.

The village of Lungar was set on fire and demolished. Rumanian Fro-nt.-On the whole front calm prevails and the situation is un chaunged. In the region of the village of Boybunar an enemy aeroplane was øhbt down. Both airmen were savde. ANOTHER OFFICIAL REPORT. I An official communique issiied on Moiv day in Sofia says:- Macedonian Front.—From Prespa Lake to Height 1941, south of Kaymakchalan, there has been vigorous artillery activity without infantry enterprises. Owing to heavy artillery firing upon the peak of Kaymakchalan and Hill 2368, our troops received order to withdraw to their main position in order to avoid unnecessary losses. In Mag-le-niea Valley there has been re- ciprocal heavy artillery firing. West and east of tho Vardar there has been weak artillery activity. At the foot of the Bilasdoca Plarina, near the railway sta- tion of Poroy, there has been successful patrol fighting. On the Struma front, under therproteo. tion of a hurrioane of fire, enemy bat- fitalions succeeded in occupying the vil- lages of Ivarajakol, Jentkoi and Nevolen.. Counter-attacking, we ejected the enemy from th two latter villages and repuilwd him to his former positions. Fighting for Karadjakol continues. On the Aegean coast, the enemy fleet an- successfully shelled the heights north of the village of Orfano. Rumanian Front.—Near Rahovo, be- tween Rustchuk and Turtukai, the enemy 1:\1I1 from boats several battalions. Measures were taken to attack and drive.' off the enemy.

All that they found was an useless blunderbuss. At Agrinion, near Patras, Reservists attacked ji Deputy Djordjopolos on the grounds that j, he is a friend of M. Straos, a prominent Germanophile, who, rumour says, is now in favour of the abandonment of neutral- ity. Such are examples of tli- renewed ter- rorism which is being exercised by Reser. vists, with whom the authorities seem in- capable of dealing. Desertions continue from the Greek Navy. All the ships are anchored close inshore in the Bay of Salamis, strong chains from the vessels being attached to the land. It is reported here that General Callaris, Minister of War in the Zaimis Cabinet, has left to join the National Defence move.. ment. The political situation still remaine ab- solutely stationary. The Government ap- pears still to re as far from reaching a. decision as ever. All the Greek gen- darmes in Eastern Macedonia have been sent, at the instance of the Bulgars, into Germany.
