LONDON, Sept 25.-Conditions at the front have not altered much dur ing the past twenty-four hours. The German right has been strongly rein forced by troops from the German center and from Lorraine and the Vosges mountains. It now numbers as many men and guns as the allies and is in touch with the German cen ter. The fight is intensely hot all along the line. The allies continue the offensive on the left against von Kluck and the Germans are attack ing the allies right near Verdun with the object of aiding the hard press ed German right. In the center the allies have gained considerable ad- vantage, having broken through the German line about ten miles east of neims and in spite of the assaults of the Germans the men hold the ground gained. In Eastern Germany the Russians are hampered by the heavy rains and deep mud and are moving slowly in pursuit of the flee ing and defeated Austrians and the weather conditions may aid the Aus trians to reform. Two new towns in Galicia have fallen into the hands
 
 assaulting the city of Breslau, while another army is near Cracow, while third continues to operate against Przemysl, the forts of which city are being reduced by the big Russian siege guns.

The odds are equal as the dividing of the British navy gives the Ger mans the much talked of opportun- ity they have wanted to fight on equal terms.
 British Army Needs offIceraL
 The British troops at the front is handicapped by the lack of officers, the loss among the commanders hav- ing been exceptionally heavy. AS men of experience are needed the places are being filled slowly and non- commissioned men command many of the army.
 Crown Prince Successful.
 The German crown prince has fina- ally successfully extricated his force from the Argonne forests and is again advancing. He has capturedthe city of Verennes and is moving southward against the allies pushing them back. Strong endorsements have been sent to oppose his ad- vance.

WILL Be OVERRULED

Portland, Ore, July 2S.-Making his
closing argument before the jury in

gether with L. j. Sellers and W. +.

on these lands would get their title, as
it had been represented to them by
the defendants that they would.
Arguments in the case will be con.
eluded late this afternoon. Following
Judge Bean S instructions, the case win
probably be in the hands of the jury
tonight, and attorneys expected ver
diet tomorrow.
Bernard d. Townsend, former attor-
ney for the government in the railroad

dallying in prosecuting the case, and
asserted that it should have entirely
been closed up in two years instead of
dragging through six years and still
remain open.
