NEW YORK, Sept, 14—Rioting
along the elevated and surface lines
affected by the traction strike contin
ued today. During the early hours
no serious violence occurred, but
there were enough disturbances
throughout the strike zone to keep
the police on the jump.
As usual, the favorite method of
attack was hurling missiles troml
roofs at passing elevated trains and
dragging motormen and conductors
from surface cars.
Reiterating their declaration that
the strike on the elevated and sub
way lines had been broken and the
struggle on the surface lines would
lerminate within 24 hours in a comi
vlete defeat of the union, traction of
ficlals' early today set about making
their threat good.
Assembling 1,400 employees at the
surface barns, they sent out the cars
at frequent intervals, all under po
lice guard, Men who had been held
In reserve as strikebreakers were dis
charged as a result of a warning that
the city authorities would not permit
the opeation of cars by inexperienced
crews,
By 8 a. m. 144 surface cars were in
operation. The entire front of each
‘ar was protected by heavy wire net
ting to stop any missiles that might
be thrown by rioters. '
Two additional trains of eight cars,
making a total of 104 trains being
used, were placed in operation in the
subway during the rush hour. There
Was enormous traffic on both the ele
'vated and subway lines, but the trac
tion chiefs asserted that the normal
schedule was being maintained.
Early in the day the strikers began
o gather at the Pabor Lyceum for
thelr parade to Union square, where
Wresident Samuel Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Organizer Willlam B. Fitzgerald, of
the carmen’s union, were scheduled
so make addresses.
During the forenoon there were a
bumbr of demonstrations about the
Labor Lyceum, extemporaneous
Speakers assalling the traction com
panies and urging the men to stand
firm.

The close race between J. D. Price,

With the official returns on their
race yet to be reported from 17 coun
ties, Brown has carried 74 counties,
with a convention vote of 176, while
Price has 61 counties, with a vote
of 182,
Price led by a small margin up to
late Wednesday afternoon, when re
turns from additional counties gave
Brown enough votes to overcome this
and put him slightly ahead,

PARIS, Sept. 14.—The thun
derbolt launched by General Foch
Tuesday and Wednesday north of
the Somme brings him within
measurable distance of complete
ly breaking down the German
belt.
The three miles which he occu
pied in the German system of
third line trenches, which is the
last strongly organized defense of
the Germans, are on the main
road which forms the most im
portant artery in this region,
- feeding Peronne from Cambria,
| In this month's fighting on the
Somme a few heavy shells imme
~ diately render useless any cover,
the tactical results are the oc
cupation of the Bapaume-Pe
ronne road, as well as the cap
| ture of the culminating positions
between Peronne and Bapaume,
while the French guns also com
mand the Paris-Lille railway.
‘ War Passes Into New Phase.
| In some places the French guns
. now have to smash only hastily
. constructed dugouts, sparsely
timbered and not strengthened
by cement, which demonstrates
that the war has passed into a
new phase With the attack
sweeping all beforz it over dis
tances of several miles and con
' siderable depths, the operations
have lost their character of isola
ted trench storming, which pre
vailed for the two years past,
This is due to the deadly new
artillery, which batters out of
shape all trenches and puts out
of action all defenders, so that
when the infantry is released It
fights in the open or in woods
void of trenches. This change
was apparent yesterday, when
General Foch executed the first
open maneuver since the Marne.
Pivoting on the Somme River,
his left wing carried a bastioned
front a kilometer long and three
kilometers deep, including Hill
76, two miles north of Peronne.
Farther north the greatest feat
accomplished was the capture of
another trench running in
straight line from the river to
Merval with only one opening,
Hill 145,
Attack Lasts 26 Minutes.
The Germans built this strong
work to cover the Peronne-
Bapaume, 2,000 yards to the rear.
The French hammered it for four
days with the flercest shell fire
and seized it in exactly 26 min
utes,
The reason was that there was
scarcely a man left to defend the
great trench, and when Foch's
troops came up the line was so
upturned that it ceased to re
semble a trench. It was merely a
medley of corpses.” The French
troops operating in this region
under General Fayolle belong to
the French Comte Picardio, so
when, after a brief rest, they
swept on toward the Bapaume-
Peronne road they reconquered
thelr own particular corner of
France, They charged with mag
nificent dash, flercely bearing
down the opposition isolated
groups of Teutons offered. Fin
ally they got an immovable
stronghold, Among the troops de
feated here were the first active
Imperial Guards division—Ger
many's finest soldiers. An officer
who was an eyewitness to the neo
tion says he never saw finer
fighting.
“The advangs was mads pver

flattened intrenehments,” said
he. “A few groups of Germans,
hiding in dugouts, willingly sur
rendered. It only needed a dozen
grenades to persuade a few re
calcitrants that opposition was
useless. Our artillery preparation
these days always reduoces the
‘Bosches’ to limp impotenoy. For
instance, an artillery noncom
missioned officer, preparing the
way for the first attacking wave,
saw a hundred Germans running
hands up toward the onrushing
blue lins, while their own ma
chine guns fired into them from
the rear. When being sent behind
the lines all sald they were satis
fied to escape the murderous fire
of our guns.”
The first phase of the battle in
which the French seized the first
German line within 26 minutes
began at 12:30. The German sup
porting column retreated east
ward under shell fire. While the
conquered ground was hastily or
ganized the batteries opened bar
rages with heavier guns. They
continued to pound the second
line, and at 1:15 the infantry
agaln went into action.
Center Meets Stiff Resistance.
The left wing progressed rap
idly, debouching from the An
derlu wood. They carried Prize
farm and reached the outskirts of
Rancourt. Farther south the
slopes of Hills 11 and 145 were
conquered with an {rresistible
dash a mile deep.
The center, however, encoun
tered stubborn resistance, espe
clally in Marrieres wood, a por
tion of which was held by the
Germans, but after three hours of
desperate fighting the French
cleared the position and flung the
Germans to the east of the Ba
paume road.
In the evening Saxon troops
occupying Bouchavesnes were
turned north and south and aban
doned the village after a short
struggle, although they had
strongly fortified it. They left
many machine guns and heaps of
ammunition in French hands.

Teuton Attacks Fail
To Shake French Line
’ By CHARLES F. BERTELLI,

PARIS, Bept. 14-—German troops
launched a counter attack on the
Somme front yesterday, but it re
'lultod in fallure, the War OfMce an~
nounced today. The Teuton attacks
were made on both sides of the
Somme River, that to the north be
ing against Hi!l No. 78, while to the
south the Germans assailed the po
sitions recently taken by the
French.
The official communique reports
the repulse of these assaults, the same
tate meeting two German attacks on
‘tho Vaux-Chapitre positions on the
Verdun front,
A feature of the military operstions
much commented on by the French
experts is that the Allles not only
gnin their objective in the attacks
they make but hold on to their oap
tured positions despite the most des
poerate assorts of the Germans to &le
lodge them,
In the latest Somme attacks the
()ermans hurled large forces upon the
French only to be drives bagly
