Paris, Sept. Z9.-The German army
In France seems to have been ordered
by its commandments to remain
on the offensive until a definite result
OF the battle OF the Aisne is obtained.
This was the Interpretation given in
the official communication issued by
the war office OF the unremitting at
tacks made by the Germans along the
entire battle line during the past three
days and nights. The report added
that the efforts of the enemy SO far
had proved unayailing.
Struggle for Inches.
Thus the battle enters its third
week with the rival armies engaged
In a ceaseless struggle for inches of
ground. The fighting of the past "a
hours has been of an unprecedented
violence. Desperate attempts made
by the Germans or the western end
of the long battle line to break through
the allied forces, which are engaged in
a turning movement, have resulted in
the most furious fighting which has
taken place since the beginning of the
campaign.
After fighting without rest night
and day, corps of Germans were hurl-
ed against the allies only to be thrown
back, the allies report. At points
along the battle front, particularly be-
tween the Disc and the Somme and
in the vicinity of Rheims, the oppos-
ing entertainments are only a few hun
dred yards apart and the fighting con-
sists largely of bayonet charges and
counter charges.
Piercing Movement Continues.
The news that a considerable allied
force has been in battle with Ger
man outposts at Bapaume is consid-
cred to be- one of the most important
developments. The presence of these
troops is taken here t mean that the
piercing OF General Won Kluck's line
and the Interruptions of it's railroad
connections between st. Quentin, Maui
beuge, Namur and Liege is even near
err accomplishment than it was when
the allies were combining their attacks
to the section of the enemies line be-
tween st. Quentin and Peronne, which
was occupied last week.
The war office is imposing an un-
usually strict censorship on reports of
this force, which leads to the belief
that its movements are considered of
the greatest strategic importance and
must be kept from the knowledge OF
the enemy until the final blow is
ready to be struck.
Both Sides Optimistic.
London. - Statements from both
sides are worded with the optimism
which characterized all these official
pronouncements. 1t vas agreed that

vance.
