BATTLE LASTING ONLY
20 MINUTES.


London, Sept. 24.-After nine DAYS
Of desperate hammerins at the Ger
man trenches along the Aisne riter.
and after suffering frishtful slaughter
from the kaiser's huge Krupp howit
lers, the allies have begun To turn the
German flank on the west il is the
belief in London that the general Ger
man retreat has begun and that ii will
not stop until the vast invading hosts
have been swept back OF the fortifica-
tions, well over the German frontier.
The French official report speaks of
an advance made by the allies left in
the region of Lassigny and unofficial
reports say that this advance was one
9f twelve miles.
Military experts, however. warn the
public not TO ignore the German eff
forts 10 force the French barrier chain
Al its more assailable points. and de-
clare reverses must be expected.
1t requires much of patience to
await the result of this battle, but so
confident are the English and French
that their armies Will be successful,
that they are not much worried.
In Galieia the Russians are pushing
steadily on to their goal, which for the
moment is przemysI. They apparently
have that place well surrounded by
now, for. following the capture of Jaro-
siau. they announced the occupation
OF Wislok, a town on the hungarian
border, southwest OF Przemsyl and an
important station on the railway which
runs from Sanck through one OF the
passes of the Carpathians TO Iemplyl
and thence to Budapest.
Wislok probably was taken by tha
part of the Russian army which ad-
yanced from Lemberg by the southern
route to cut off the retreat of the
Austrian army through the Carpathi-
ans TO Hungary 1t is also another link
in the chain which the Russians are
are drawing around the fortresses o.
Przemsyl and Cracow.
On the German frontier the Russians
are in close touch with the German
forces. according to their report. but
no fighting has occurred.
The Seryians record almost daily
successes. This time it is the capture
of Liubovia on the river Drina.-
The event of the day was the flight
of British naval aeroplanes from Ant
werp to Dusseldorf. approximately :
distance of 500 miles. in the course OF
which they dropped bombs on the
Zeppelin sheds of the German aerial
fleet, which would cooperate with the
n Il
land. The official bureau intimates
that the flight was undertaken as a
warning to the Germans that If more
bombs are dropped on any unfortified
towns in Belgium or France the allies
can retaliate.
1t is quite likely that the warning is
also intended to include London, which
has been looking for visit from the
Zeppelins for some days. The flight
of the British aeroplanes was one, SC
far as distance is concerned. that they
were quite used to. as for some time
the British flying men have been put
to the test. They have made flights
from Montrose, Scotland, to Salisbury,
which is about the same distance as
the round trip between Antwerp and
the Rhine fortresses.
Paris.-Nine miles of trenches filled
with unburied dead were the fruits OF
fighting by the British troops now
making up the allied left wing. They
were taken. according to reports re-
ceived from several sources, unofficial
but well authenticated, in a success,
full turning movement between the dis
trict just south of St. Quentin and Per
onne.
