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 30.000 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 en-, tente allies have broken the spirit of the Germans at Venlun, defi nitely 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 French and British armies, in the capture on 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 troops, 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. Thieoval, at The northwestern end of, the British line, and the fortified town ot Oueudecourt, northeast of Les Bouefs, also have fallen to the British. General Sir Douglas Haig's men, after capturing Thieoval. drove on eastward and took the Zollern re doubt, a strongly fortified position which lies betwen Thiepval and the bend in the British line at Cource lete. 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 portion 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 Pans to have 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 in ex cess of 1,500. Large quantities of booty were taken bv the entente allies. While Petrograd continues silent with regard to the ODerations on the eastern front, both Berlin and Vienna tell of the repulse of strone Russian attacks in Volhynia, Galicia and the Carpathian mountain region.

HUGHES CALLS UPON WILSON JO ANSWER Dares Administration to Deny Charge Lind Was Author ized to Tell Huerta to Go. LAUDS MYRON T. HERRICK Cleveland, O., Sept. 27. Charles E. 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 speech Mr. Hughes lauded Myron T. Herrick, sitting on the platform Hith 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 plants durtrtg which a number of workmen he addressed cheered repeatedly for Wilson. This meeting closed with a vollev of questions from the edge of the crowd, prompted by his attack on the ad ministration 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. Mr. Hughes heard the com 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 bis 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. At both Toledo addresses 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- tluence on this hemisphere in con nection with our sister republics un less we are correct in our interna tional attitude and careful and cu rect in our international policy," he said. "That is the deplorable thing about the conduct of our affairs in Mexico. We have followed no in telligible policy. We have not justi fied ourselves to those acquainted with international law. We have not satisfied our ideals. We have, not won the friendship, but rather lost the friendship ot those who are in the sister republic of Mexico, torn by disturbance. Statement of Principle. "Only the other day we had a very clear statement of the principle that should govern us in this matter or in similar matters. It is a statement which comes from the head pf the administration and it is very clearly put. "If says, referring to Mexico: " 'We have professed to believe that every nation, every people, has the right to Tfler its own institu tions as it will, and 'we niust live up to that profession in our actions in absolute good faith.' "That is the principle. I deeply regret that that principle was not followed. "I have here the statement of the policy of the administration as it was set forth in the early part of April, 1914. John Lind was au thorized to make this statement to a minister representing a foreign rower in Mexico: " 'Huerta will be put out if he does not get out. It is the preference of the president that it be accomplished by domestic means, if possible, but if it cannot be done by domestic' means, other means adequate for the purpose will be resorted to.' Declaration of Personal War. "That is a declaration of personal war upon Huerta, to be carried to the conclusion of elimination, de spite the statements that we have made and the representations that we were to recognize the sovereignty of Mexico and not attempt to inter! fere in the conduct of her affairs. "Now, I referred to this the other night, and a leading organ in New York City, which is a very strong supporter of the administration, at once'inquired through its representa tives -whether that statement would be denied. According to .!.e report in this newspaper in New York, it was said that the- charge would he answered by the secretary of war perhaps, or by the secretary of the navy. It did not say that it would be denied. It made the ambiguous statement that it would be answered. I have .read that as a statement of what John Lind was authorized to say to a foreign minister, and I now challenge the administration to deny that that authorization was given." Mr. Hughes will leave tomorrow morning for Pittsburgh. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. J. H. Clarkaon city ticket aaent, and T. J.

HOUR AT HAND FOR GREECETO STRIKE Time Now Believed Come When Constantino. Will Enter War on Allies' Side. VENIZELOS IS OFF TO CRETE London.ept. 27. The situation in Greece is still tense. Former Premier Venizelos is on his way to the Island of Crete, supposedly to take charge of an insurrectionary movement that has as its object the forcing of the king and the government to agree to Greece's entry into the war on the side of the entente allies. Unofficial advices say that the be lief is expressed in Athens in circles very close to the king that he will declare war immediately. Situation Changes. Athens, Sept. 27. (Via London.) The French press of Athens, which for thr last month has been sharplv assailing King Constantine and flouting every suggestion . that he could honestly be desirous of Greece joining the entente allies, is silent this morning. The entire ,Greco-Entente situation has changed over night, and it is re ported that the entry of Grece into the war has suddenly become a mere question of days on the terms King Constantine indicated to the Asso ciated Press August 31, namely, a guarantee of the integrity of Greece and a loan sufficient to equip the army and cover the cost of re-mobilization. Germans Hold Fair To Bui1 Home The German Uul People's Home association is holding a fair, starting last night and ending October 27, with the intention of raising enough money to start building a home for the aged persons of Omaha and Ne braska.

"The bootlegging liquor being sold in Den ver is rank poison," declared Magistrate Rice in police court, "and the public should be warned against its use. No wonder my docket is . crowded with cases of drunkenness," he said, referring to twenty-five offenders ar raigned before him this morning. "One drink of that filthy concoction peddled by bootleg gers is enough to send a man crazy." A majority of the twenty-five arraigned for drunkenness today testified ' that they had taken not to exceed two drinks of whiskey. One woman swore that she had taken only one. All pleaded guilty and were fined $10 and costs, and, with few exceptions, they told the court they had gotten their liqyor from strangers in alleyways. Eleven alleged bootleggers were before Magistrate Rice today, all arrested, by Patrol men Cook, Kline and Schneider of the police bootlegging squad Saturday and yesterday. Only two of them were tried and the de fendants were discharged in these for want of sufficient evidence. They are connected with the management of a special messenger service and it was charged that they sold whiskey by messenger when the proper telephone code sig nal was used. A sale was shown to have been made in this- manner, but there. was no testi mony to show that the managers were aware of it. The other nine cases were continued until later in the week. Prohibition became effective in Colorado on January 1, 1916. The foregoing extract from one of the well known and responsible newspapers in Denver presents startling proof that prohibition it bringing to Colorado the same train of evils that have afflicted every prohi bition state-evils inseparable from that method of deal ing with the problem.
