" HAPPENINGS IN THE MAGIC CITY Registration Begins for Both Night High and Elementary Schools. ENLISTING MAN ARRESTED Registration for both night high and elementary schools at the South High school began Monday evening with an initial class of thirty-five. Principal Edward Huwaldt of the day high school will also be principal of both the night high school and the night elementary school. The school will be conducted every Monday Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. It is expected that a corps of twenty- five teachers will be engaged, “We will have a school that will be open to every class of student, even to those who do not either speak or write English. 1 already have appli- cations from young working people who are neithen able to read, write or spell.” Mr. Huwaldt will have a full sched- ule when he takes charge of the three schools as principal, but he avers that he is easily equal to the task. The large attendance at the night school of last year, when the idea was still in its infancy, is merely a forecast of what the school will likely prove to be this year. Arrested While Enlisting. Trailed to the examination room at the local ntarine headquarters, Russell Bailey, 22, Twenty-seventh and M streets, wanted by the police on a charge of breaking, entering and steal- ing, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Gillen and Allen of the “South Side while undergoing physical examination for admittance to the navy. Information given out by the police yesterday indicated that Scott Tuttle, teammate of Bailey, who is also charged with having stolen clothing, jewelry and other valuables from the ome of John Winkle, 2305 M street, September 16 last, was already a marine in ‘the service of the United States government and at that time was well on his way to the coast to be “broke in” at the government train- ing station there. Bailey told the offi- cers that Tuttle had enlisted but a few days before. In the pocket of the stolen clothes pawned by Bailey, which were recov- ered yesterday by the detectives, a valuable diamond ring was found, hav- ing been overlooked both by Bailey and the pawnbroker. Bailey and Tut- tle were bound over to the district court under $750 bonds on a charge of breaking and entering several months ago. Police will make an effort to get Tuttle. Schmeling on Rummage Sales. A war on rummage sales that are not preceded by a fumigation of the buildings they are to be held in has ~ been initiated by local Health Repre- sentative Henry Schmeling. Monday morning, bright and early, Mr, Schmeling pounced down upon a committee of women at af empty building at Twenty-fourth and Q streets that was being used for a rum- mage sale and declared the sale “off.” The women argued-and promised to fumigate at once. The sale was held yesterday. “These places with ola/cloghes and old stuff of all kinds are likely to breed all manner of disease,” Schmel- ing told the women, urging them to be on the right side of the law.

PIVOT IN THE GERMAN LINE What the AlliesGained Paris, Sept. 27.—A semi-official account of the battle on the Somme, from its beginning (July 1), appearing in the Bulletin des Armees, says that the French have conquered 180 square kilom- eters (about seventy square miles) of territory, captured 30000 un- wounded prisoners, removed 4,503 wounded, and taken 144 cannon, most of them of heavy caliber, 500 machine guns and other material. It is pointed out that the enw tente allies have broken the spirit of the Germans at Verdun, defi- itely deprived the enemy of an initiative and turned it in_their own favor. Since the opening of the battle, the “account says, the Germans have thrown into the battle sixty-seven new divisions and seventeen battalions, of which thirty-four divisions were on the English front and thirty-three di- visions with the seventeen bat- talions were on the French front. London, Sept. 27.—Combles, the pivotal point in the German line guarding the approach to Bapaume on the north, and Peronne on the south of the Somme front, has fallen before attacks of French and British, the Germans fighting to the death or surrendering when there was no longer hope. French and British troops swept in from_three sides after their cap- ture of Norval and Fregicourt, broke through the German defences, over- ran the town and carried al] before them. This place, with its marvelous subterranean passages and powerful fortifications had been caught in the grip of the entente allies who, com- ing from the north and the south, had already advanced far beyond it, and cut off communication with the rear, except a narrow strip, which was covered by the allied guns. At the end of the fighting the town was filled with the bodies of Germans, the French official statement says. German Official Statement. Prior to the loss of Combles, the effect of the victories of the Frencl}‘ and British armies, in the capture o important strategic points on the previous day was reflected in the offi- cial comunication, issued by the German war office, which after de- scribing briefly the great artillery. bombardment of the entente allies lasting four days, and the attack be- tween the Ancre and the Somme, admits that “the conquest of the vil- lages on the line of Gueudecourt must be recognized,” and adds: “But before all we must think of our heroic #roops, who faced the united Anglo-French principal force and the massed employment of ma- terial. of the whole world's war industry, prepared during many months.” Thiepval Captured. Thiepval, at the northwestern end of the British line, and the fortified town of Gueudecourt, northeast of Les Bouefs, also have fallen to the British, General Sir Douglas Haig's men, after capturing Thiepval, drove on eastward and took the Zollern re- doubt, a strongly fortified position which lies betwen Thiepval and the })end in the British line at Cource- ete. The French, likewise, advanced be- yond Fregicourt and captured the wood between that village and Morval and the greater part of the German fortified positions lying between this wod eastward acros the Bethune road to the western portior. of the St Vaast Wood, nipping off another por- tion of the German line of communi- cation south of the Bapaume. Teuton Losses Great. The German casualties in the fight- ing are declared by Pdris to hive been heavy and, in addition, during the two days’ fighting more than 1,200 | Germans were made prisoners by the | French, while the British took mn-ex- cess of 1,500. Large quantities of booty were taken by the entente allies. 4 While Petrograd continues silent with regard to the operations on the eastern front, both Berlin and Vienna tell of the repulse of strong Russian attacks in Volhynia, Galicia and the Carpathian mountain region.

LAUDS MYRON T. HERRICK Cleveland, O., Sept. 27.—Charles Hughes tonight challenged the ad- ministration to deny his charge that John Lind was authorized by Presi- dent Wilson in 1914 to say to “the minister from a foreign power to Mexico” that Huerta would be “put out” of the presidency of Mexico if he did not voluntaril: get out. Mr. Hughes issued his challenge in a speecn here before an audience in the central armory. In the same dpeech Mr. Hughes lauded Myron T.! Herrick, sitting on the platform Qith | him, for the manner in which he dis- charged the duties of ambassador to France in the early days of the war, and declared that the appointment of | a man to succeed Mr. Herrick “in a time of great emergency” would “ever remain a blot upon the present administration.” Makes Address at Toledo. The nominee’s speech here tonight was the last of eight delivered on the second dav of his campaign through Ohio. Among them was an address at Toledo before employes of a large automobile plant,. duriig which a number of workmen he addressed cheered repeatedly for Wilson. This meeting closed with a volley of questions from the edge of the crowd, prompted by his attack on the ad- ministretion for the Adamson law, and by uncomplimentary reference to the nominee himself. “What about the Danbury hatters’ case?” was the chief question. One man started it, others took it up and when the nominee closed his speech the words were echoed by many voices. motion and thinking that it came from men on the edge of the crowd that had not heard his reference to the Adamson law, said: “If you will tell my friends over there what I have said, I think they will understand my views.” Later Mr. Hughes said he had not heard the reference to the Danbury hatters’ case. Cheered by Crowds. In his second address at Toledo and in his speech here tonight, Mr. Hughes renewed his attack on the administration for the Adamson law, and declared that it was the duty of the executive to stand “like a rock” for the principle of investigation be- fore legislation and not to surrender to force. and here, he was cheered and ap- plauded. Mr. Hughes' challenge to the ad- ministration was part of his attack on the administration for its Mexican policy. “We cannot maintain our just in- fluence on this hemisphere in con- nection with our sister republics un- less we are correct in our interna- tional attitude and carefu! and co said. “That is the deploraBle thing about the conduct of our affairs in \Mexico.
