TROOPS SLEEP IN
FLOODED D TRENCHES
RAIN MAKES ARMY LIFE WORSE
THAN EVER-RIGORS OF
FIGHT.
s SHIPS ARE DESTROYED
Both Sides Report Losses of Vessels
to the Enemy on the Seas.
Italy Reported Prepared.

Reports differ as to the progress Of
the great battle in Northern France
between the Allied British and French
armies and Germany. Some indicate
that there is extremely heavy fighting
while others tell Of great masses Of
troops lying IN flooded trenches, many
Of them utterly exhausted.
At some points, at least, fierce en-
gagements have been fought with the
tide flowing first in one direction and
then in the other The Allies have
won a position here and the Germans
have gained one there. But all re-
ports, official and otherwise, agree
that there is much fighting yet to be
done before any material advantage
can be claimed by either side.
The British in the trenches say:
1--WE are slowly beating them back"
The French official statement de-
clares that though furiously counter
attacke5 by superior forces and OBJ
uged to yield some ground this was
reeained almost Immediately. Berlin
officially announces that the Franco
British forces have been obliged to
take the defensive In entrenched po-
sitions and that therefore the result
Of the German attacks are slow. In
teresting information has been given
out by the British Admiralty regard
ing British successes and misfor-
tunes in various waters. The British
merchant cruiser Carmania has sunk
a German merchant cruiser, supposed
to be either the Cap Trafalgar, or the
Berlin, of the coast of South America.
but the German cruiser Koenigsburg
has disabled the British cruiser Pc
gasus, while the latter was overhaul
ing her machinery in ZANZIBAR harbor,
killing 25 men and wounding more
than three times that number and the
German Cruiser Enden has sunk six
British merchant streamers in the
Bay Of Bengal.
In fighting around Rheims the mat
ter Of greatest interest has been the
destruction Of the famous cathedral,
one OF the most noted structures in
the world, dating back to the Thir-
teenth Century, which Is reported to
have first been pierced by many Ger
man shells and then to have burst
into flames.
Against the destruction Of the cath
edral the French Government has de-
cided to send through diplomatic
channels a protest to all the Powers.
There has been a review off the
Island of Halker, by the Sultan, Of the
Turkish feet, including the former
German cruisers, Breslau and Goeben,
after which the warships proceeded to
Constantinople for coal.
Italy, according to reports from
Rome, has more than half million
men under arms.

Thrilling Rescue by Submarine

Thrilling Rescue by Submarine
London.-"The most romantic, dra'
matte and piquant episode that mod
ern war can show" says naval lieu
tenant in describing an episode in the
Heligo!and fight HIS letter reads:
The Defender, having sunk an enc
my, lowered a whaler to pick up her
swimming survivors; before the wha-
ler got BACK an enemy's cruiser came
up and chased the Defender, and thus
she abandoned her whaler. Imagine
their feelings; alone in an open boat
without food, twenty-five miles from
the nearest land, and that land the en-
emy's fortress, with nothing but fog
and foes around them. Suddenly a
swirl alongside, and up, if you please,
pops his Britanic majesty's submarine
E-4, opens his coming tower. takes
them all on board, shuts up again,
dives and brings them home 250 miles!
Is not that magnificent? No novel
would dare face the critics with an
episode like that in it, except, perhaps,
Jules Verne; and all, true! Magnih-
cent, indeed, and it is war"
German-American Protest Rejected
nington.-President Wilson de-
clined to receive Horace L. Bland of
Chicago, who came to present mes
sages from several German-American
organizations protesting against the
charges Of atrocities made by the Bel
gian commission against the German
army.
The president took the position that
ne had already refused to permit ma
tives Of other belligerent countries hv-
ing in the United States to discuss the
war with him and that the messages
of the German-kmericans were not
Of the same nature as those brought
by the Belgian commissioners. He
planned to write letter to Mr.. Brand
explaining that his recent statement
on neutrality addressed to the Ameri.
can people should apply equally to all
living in this country.
Peace Move Appears Hopeless
Washington.-Great Britain has re.
ceived no proposal for peace, either
directly or indirectly, from Germany
or Austria, and, therefore, has nothing
to say on the subject.
This was the substance of mes.
sage received by Sir Cecil Spring.Rice,
British ambassador here, from Sir Ed
ward Grey, British foreign secretary.
The ambassador had inquired whether
any peace proposal was before his gov.
ernment in view of persistent rumors
from Berlin that proposals were being
exchanged.
Coincident with the receipt of this
information from Great Britain it was
learned authoritatively that President
Wilson had not pursued either with
Great Britain, France or Russia the in
formal suggestion of the imperial Ger
man chancellor that 1T was up to the
United States to obtain statement OF
peace terms from the allies"
Moving Toward Russian Frontier
London.-The Daily Telegraph's
Rome correspondent says he learns
that eight German army corps left
France and Belgium for the Russian
frontier.

battles. continue day and night along
the entire front from Noyon to, the
frontier The fighting does not con-
sist Of sustained and combined move
ment but in reality of several com bats
proceeding necessarily at the strong
est points Of the Germans defending
line along the River Aisne.
Each encounter. however, infu-
ences the execution Of the general
ideea Of the commander-in-chief of the
allied armies. Attacks and counter.
attacks follow enc another in rapid
succession every hour Of the twenty
four.
During the night OF September IS
IS the Germans attempted formida-
able movement in the Western sphere
but were met by the French and Brit.
ish with courage that was marvellous
against overwhelming odds. The Ger.
mans returned to the attack no fewer
than 10 times with remarkable tenac.
ity and intrepidity but were unable tc
break through the firm line presented
by the allies infantry.
The fight just before daybreak was
the most violent Of all. The Germans
appeared to throw in the charge all
that remained Of their energy, but
were rolled back with enormous
losses. Before retiring behind their
big guns they sacrificed many of their
number. displaying resolution which
approached desperation. A vigorous
counter-attack from the allies ensued
during which small extent OF
ground was gained.
The night was relatively calm along
the front, but today the fighting be,
came more furious than ever. Dur
ing the darkness operations are rem
dered difficult owing to the reluct
ance of the opposing commanders to
use searchlights, which might expose
their positions.
After this stage Of the fight was
concluded the Germans appeared to
retire about seven miles. During the
combat the adversaries in many In
stances came to hand-to-hand clashes
and the bayonet was extensively used.
The carnage was terrifying but the
troops Of both armies appear to have
been hardened to such scenes and
fought with great GOODNESS.
