ARTILLERY DUEL
WITHOUT DECISION
Great Battle at River Ainse Con
tinues to Be Without Advantage
to Either Army.
GERMANS OCCUPY HIGH GROUND
TeutOns Have Theiv Batteries I'm
Good Position and May Delay
the Advance of AIlies
for a Long Time.

LONDON. Sept. 1s.-As far as the pub
lie knows the great artillery duel along
the line of the river Aisne continues to be
draw. In the pause Of tho thunder of
the huge guns, the infantry and cavalry
units scattered along the line OF battle
are being flung into the fray without ap-
preeiable effect on its outcome.
Roughly speaking the line of advance
Of the allies is threaded by six rivers.
four of which have already been crossed.
The crossing OF the Marne, marking the
assumption of the aggressive by the
allies. was purely read guard action in
which General Won klunk cleverly kept
the German right from being outflanked.
So far as the British We're concerned.
the passage OF the Ourcq was not con-
tested. The Vesle was only slightly de-
Tended by the Germans while, as is now
we'll known. the resistance of the Ger
mans at the Aisne was and is still OF the
most stubborn character on both the
French and British fronts.
More Rivers to he Crossed.
II the allies hold the shore across the
Aisne, which they gained despite the
heavy artillery fire from concealed Ger
man batteries from the heights above tho
river, two more rivers. the Ailette and
the Oise, remain TO be crossed
The country between the Aisne and the
Ailette is ideal for defensive purposes,
and If the German army holds the Aisne
heights for a few days, defensive works
can be constructed along the other two
rivers which may delay the allies adj
vance on German territory for long
time.
On the other hand, II the Germans re-
sumo the offensive. the country now oc-
eupied by them affords an excellent
operating base.
Victory Helps Allies Spirits.
1t is clear from reports coming ii
from the allies that the victory in the
battle OF the Marne and the assumption
of the offensive had a tremendous moral
effect on the Franco British armies.
Berlin Acknowledges that while General
Won Hindenberg's brilliant and daring
movement across the border lake was
successful in driving back General Rem
nenkampff's forces and the Russians
were not completely. outflanked and the
previous East Prussian victory against
the Russians was not duplicated. as the
Russian general retired in good order,
saving his artillery.
There is lull in the operations in Ga
licla, where the victorious Russian or
mics evidently arc moving in an effort

against certain points. Three often
sive counter attacks undertaken by
the Germans against the English
army failed From Craonne to
Rheims we ourselves repulsed some

in vain to take the offensive against
Rheims.
"second-on the center from
Rheims to the Argonne the enemy
has reinforced himself by construct
ing important fortitications and has
adopted a purely defensive attitude
To the east OF the Argonne. in the

concrete "a good mixture can be made
by using one part Portland cement
three parts sand and one part broken

Be sure to get the surface of your

1t Is Il good plan to set four bolts in

prevent 1t from skidding Off the foun-
