Marshal in later to the east of Ypres, yesterday, when the British troops pushed through the German lines for a distance of more than a mile, says that the complete- ness of the British success firmed by detailed accounts battle. The British war office, after the re- ceipt of Field Marshal Haig's report, today issued this bulletin: “More detailed accounts of yester- is of con- the day’'s battle confirm the completeness ; of our success. “During the evening local attacks delivered by us near the tower Ham- lets and northeast of Langemarck cleared up a number of strong points and completed the capture of our ob- jectives in these localities. “It is now established that in many counter-attacks delivered by consider- able forces of the enemy during the afternoon and evening his casualties were unusually great. “The clear light of the latter part of the day enabled our troops to ob- tain warning of impending attacks, and in every case the advancing lines of German infantry were destroyed by the concentrated fire from our rifies, machine guns and artillery. “The obstinacy with which the ene- AVIATORS ATTACK YANKEE ENGINEERS U.

American Training Camp in France, Thursday, September 20 (by the As- sociated Press)—By day and night the men of the American regiment of en- gineers, which has taken over an im- portant line of French strategic rail- ways are hauling tons upon tons of mmunition and other supplies to the rench army units operating against the Germans. The American regiment has been turned over as a unit to the French and is getting all its supplies, except clothing from the French govern- ment. The officers and men entered upon the work with the greatest en- thusiasm and they already have been under German bombs and machine gun fire from airplanes. ‘Within the past few nights a heavy train of supplies hurrying toward the front was attacked by several enemy planes. None of the bombs came dangerously close, but every time the fire box of the engine was opened for stoking the planes swooped down up- on the train and spattered it with steel-jacketed bullets. This fire got 50 hot that eventually the train was sopped, the crew taking refuge be- neath the eengine. Repeating their ex- {periences afterwards, these trainmen rather ‘“swanked” about it and over thelr inexperienced brothers.

Middletown, Sept. 21.—The crew of the ‘“New Haven” road engine which ran down an automobile on the night of August 20, at the ferry crossing in Old Saybrook, resulting in the deaths of Helen A. Asterino and seven other occupants of the car, all of New Ha- ven, are not held sible for the death, according to the finding of Coroner Stephen B. Davis made publje tod He says he con- siders, however, the fact that the rail- road company left the crossing en- tirely unguarded at this place was a “negligence which greatly contributed to this distressing accident.” The finding says: Engineer Not Careless. “There does not seem to have been a want of care on the part of the en- gineer at the time of the accident so far as the evidence goes. It should be borne in mind, however, that the automobile cannot now be obtained. It is impossible to pass in silence the fact that the railroad company left the crossing entirely unguarded at this place at this time, a negli- tributed to this distressing accident.

Early in the conferences, house conferees declared, the senate con- ferees appared willing to waive the provision of their bill toc make allow- ances for these intangible assets, but they have since changed their atti- tude. House members still are hold- ing out against making the allow- ances, however, and a majori ways and means committee porting them in their position. After explaining the situaticn to the ways and means committee the house confrees returned to confer- ence. It was sald the outlook was poor for an early agreement on the excess ‘profits section.

British Headquarters in France, Sept. 20 (Delayed)—By the Associat- ed Press—The British offenisve which began at dawn over a wide front east of Ypres salient, found the attacking forces late today holding many new positions of vita] importance and fcors tinuing the fight in German territory along a wide front, which in many places represented an average gain of a mile in length. Such redoubts as Nuns wood, Glen- course wood, Inverness Copse and Shrewsbury forest, which have with- stood numerous fierce assaults recent- ly, were entirely overrun by the Brit- ish who reached points well beyond them. Heavy fighting was continuing at close range at various points and the Germans were massing troops with the evident intention of deliver- ing a counter attac 1t has been a day of great suc for the British arms, for the possession of the wood- ed heights which they captured east of Ypres unquestionably is of crucial importance since these dominating positions form the keystone of the German structure of defense in this sector. The greatest gains have been made between St. Julien and Holl- beke, which was as had been planned, for within this stretch of country lie the important defenses just men- tioned. British Advance Rapidly. The troops that went out to the .attack represent some of the finest men in the British army. They en- tered the conflict in high spirits and eager for the fray. Their advance was preceded by one of the most per- fect and heaviest barrage fires yet at- tempted. The men went over the top stripped light and as a result of this, coupled with the fine artillery support,” they were enabled to nego- tiate the first stages of the difficult ground rapidly. They had swept through Glencourse wood, Inverness Copse and the eastern part of Shrews- bury forest by 8 o'clock, two hours and 20 minutes after the C*tack be- gan, and other advanced positions were reached with equal rapidity, which is a remarkable achievement in view of the marshy nature of the &round due to heavy rain. On the left of the line attacked, heavy fighting developed on the high grousd on either side of the Zonne- beke-Langemarck road. A number of strongly fortified farms were en- countered in this region and hombed into submission. Among these was Schuyler farm, a short distance south- east of St. Julien. Schuyler farm held out long against attacks and con- tinued to play on the British with machine guns until it was taken. Strong resistance was encountered at R redoubt on the Ypres-Roulers rail- way west of Zonnebeke. This re- doubt is a massive concrete and steel gtructure and it withstood all of the shell fire poured agalnst it. tsh advanced on two stormed the place with its occupants raised the Similar tactics resulted [ are sides bombs until white flag. the fall of and a in ntinued on Eleventh Page) The Brit- | Plainville depot, unveiled an alleged scheme devised to embezzle funds from the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company. He was | apprehended this morning as he stepped from a New York train and was given a hearing in the Pilainville court. Bonds were placed at $5,000, Failing to convince Frank Maletta, head of the Great Western Market, to act as his bondsmans, he was bound over to the December term of the su- perior court and taken to the county jail where he will await trial The charge on which he was ar- raigned before the Plainville court is thought to have been a minor one and developments of importance are looked for within a few days. Several weeks ago he hired an ordinary la- borer who was discharged at the end of the week. His name, however, still remained on the pay roll, his pay en- velope each week being pocketed by Matthews, it is claimed. Investiga- tion shows that Matthews ‘continued thig procedure for five weeks, it is said. Matthews, who did the buying for the entire working force at the freight depot, which is composed of about 150 men is alleged to have re-sold foodstuffs, purchased at various stores in New Britain and vicinity, among New York wholesale and retail houses. His plan of procedure, it is stated, was to buy in large quantities, as he held a free hand, charging all purchases to the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad company. It is al- leged that part of the foodstuffs de- livered were used at the transfer sta- tion and part was shipped to custom- ers which he had in different cities. It is possible that the arrest of Mat- thews, who is said to have made mys- terious trips to New York, may dis- close complicity of someone ‘higher up.” FIRE FATAL TO TWO. Firemen Killed by Auto and Citizen Burned to Death. Springfield, Mass.,, Sept. 21.—Two lives were lost and one person was badly burned as the result of a $5,000 fire in a combined store and tenement house at Ludlow, an adjoining town, early today. Alexander Rogers, a fireman, was run over and instantly killed by an automobile fire truck, 4nd John Mis- talecz, an occupant of the building, was suffocated. Joseph Cohen, who owned the bulldirg, returned to se- cure valuable after getting his fam- ily out, was overcome and found in the building two hours later, badly burned. JOHN KUNZ COMPLAINS. Once More Chestnut Strect Garage Is the Cause of Trouble. more the garage building which John Kunz is erecting at the corner of Chestnut and TFairview streets is causing trouble in the neigh- borhood. This morning Mr. Kunz complained to the police that the building, which is under construction, is being torn down at night almost as fast as his carpenters can build it up in the day time. He asked for police i protection. When Mr. Kunz first took out a permit to erect the garage the prop- erty owners entered many loud and protests and even tried buy the property, but were unsuc ful. Legal steps ‘o prevent the o struction of the public garage were talked of, but never materialized. Once s n- son approaching the crossing from the automobile was traveling, had a distance from the crossing, and that an automatic bell signal was ringing at the time. The engineer also testi- fied that the engine hell was ringing, and that as he was on the right side of the cab he could not see the‘auto- mobile. The automobile party was return- ing from the military at the time, where some of the party had been visiting a relative at the camp. Only one person, ‘Weyel, 12 years old, of the nine, survived the collision. BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN Dynamite Safe But Reward Is Small party As Valuables Were Not Carried at Night, Officials Say.
