ERITISH FORCES MAKING FURTHER GAINS ON SOMME Positions Won by the English ‘Armies North of Thiepval Are Strongly Bombarded by the Enemy. BOMBING PARTIES ACTIVE Strongly Defended Point South- west of Le Sars Taken by Storm, Says Report. JOFFRE THANKS GEN. HAIG London, Sept. 29.—An attack by British troops on the Somme front early today resulted in"the capture of a strongly defended farm 500 yards southwest of Le Sars, the war office announces. The official statement follows: “The night was quiet on the great- er part of our front. The positions we have won north of Thiepval were heavily shelled. Our bombing par- ties were active in the neighborhood of the Schwaben redoubt and the Hessian trench, parts of which are still held by the enemy. “A strongly defended farm 500 yards southeast of Le Sars was cap- tured by our troops early this morn- ing. “North of Ypres, two miles south of Bertincourt, and southeast of Ba- aume, our aeroplanes observed a uge explosion as if a large ammuni- tion dump had blown up. The smoke ascended 9,000 feet.” Joffre Congratulates Haig. British Front in France, Sept. 29— (Via London,)—General Joffre, com- mander-in-chief of the French army, has sent a message of congratulation to General Sir Douglas Haig, com- mander-in-chief of the British forces in France and Belgium, on the recent successes, in which the French gen- eral says: “Following on the continuous prog- ress made by your armies since the beginning of the Somme offensive, these fresh successes are a sure guar- anty ‘of final victory over the com- mon enemy, whose physical and mor- al 'forccs are already severely shak- After saying that the combined of- fensive has bound still closer the ties of the two armies, and that “our ad- versary will find therein a proof of ot Himr-derermination to- combine our efforts until the end to insure the complete triumph of our cause,” General Joffre ‘concludes: “I bow before those of your sol- diers by whose bravery these suc- cesses have been achieved, but who have fallen before the completion of our task, and I ask you to convey, in my name and in the name of the wgol'e French army, to those who stand ready for the battles to come, greeting, comradeship and confi- dence.” German Lines Will Hold. London, Sept. 29.—The allies can- not break through the German lines on the Somme, Chancellor Von Beth- mann-Hollweg told the Reichstag yes- terday, according to an account of his speech cabled to Reuters by way of Amsterdam. ! 'Iy'hc German prime minister made a similar statement in regard to the castern front. “The English and French, it is true,” he said, “have achieved ad- vantages. Our first lines have been pressed back some kilometers and we have also to deplore losses in men and material. That was inevitable in an offensive on such a mighty scale. But what our enemies hoped to ac- complish, namely, break through on a grand scale and roll up our positions has not been attained. The battle of the Somme will cost further sacri- fices. Still another trench and an- other village may be lost, but they will not get through.” In regard to the eastern front where, the chancellor said the Rus- sians had renewed their offensive with heavy attacks, he predicted the same result, “Here, too, the battle is pro- ceeding,” he said, “but just as surely shall we hold our own.” The Weather I'or Nebraska—Fair, warmer, Omaha Yesterday.

They carry the bones of their late-lamented enemies with them for good luck. So the man said, and he must know, for he has been with the Wortham shows for a long time. The happiest person on the grounds, was Prince Napoleon, a man of df- minutive size and with a flow of con- versation which makes the women laugh. Napoleon is looking for a wife and feels confident that before the Ak-Sar-Ben season shall have passed he will have found the woman of his choice right here in Omaha. He is 26 years of age and his home is in Boston. He is about two fget in height. 3 P Among the other notables are Mlle.

ROUMANIA IS A TRAITOR Berling, Sept. 29.—Via London.— Germany will persevere until victory is hers the Reichstag was told yester- day by Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg, according to the full text of his speech, which was published here today. The chancellor said that this year's harvest had made Germany's position more secure than was the case last year In his attack upon Great Britain he declared that that country was break- ing one international law after an- other and was, above all, Germany’s most egotistical, fiercest and most ob- stinate enemy.” “A German statesman,” he said, “who would hesitate to use against this enemy every available instrument of battle that wowd really shorten this war—such a staetsman should be hanged, - “The chancellor declared his con< tempt for those circulating reports that all Germany's means of fighting were not being employed to the fullest possible extent. He added that in ordér to disappoint the enemy, “who s on watch for every breach of our inner determination,” he would not give details. When in August, 1914, he went on, “we had to draw the sword, we knew we had to protect our hearths and homes against a mighty and almost overwhelming coalition. Ardent, and until then unknown and often ignored patriotism flamed up in all hearts, de- fying death and certain of victory.

Sept. 29.)—The following semi-official account of to- day's session of the Reichstag was given out by the Overseas News agency: “The Reichstag opened this after- noon. The galleries were crowded and the forgign diplomats who are now in Berlin were present virtually without exception. President Kaempf in his introductory speech stated that the war in its economic and political as well as military aspects had now reached a climax. On all fronts there was a violent struggle for a decision. Germany’s position, the president said, was satisfactory in every re- spect. He mentioned the arrival of the merchant submarines Deutschland and Bremen in the United States. (A news dispatch to Berlin to the effect that a tug had gone out from New London, Conn., presumably to meet the Bremen gave rise to the er- roneous report, generally accepted in Germany, that the Bremen reached the United States.) The president read telegrams ex- changed with the emperor on the oc* casion of the beginning of the second year of the war and with the presis dent of the Hungarian Parliament at the time of the fall of the Roumanian fortress of Turksi. The president's speech was much applauded. Address of Chancellor. After the transaction of routine business Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg arose. Amid a general si- lence he began his speech, to which all listened with undivided attention. The chancellor alluded to the in« trigues of Roumania and the couns try's declaration of war, saying: “Qur relations with Roumania be« fore the war were based on the treaty of alliance first concluded between Austria-Hungary and Roumania and then enlarged by the accession of Germany and Italy. The contracting parties engaged under the treaty ta assist each other in case of unpro- | voked attack by a third party. 3 “When the war broke out King Carlos with all his energy stood up for the idea that Roumania owed to the central powers thirty years of political sccurity and wonderful ecos« nomic development and, therefore, (Continued on Page Two, Column Two.) ey Keeping Everlastingly at It Brings Results.
