GERMAN STAFF IS CONFIDENT
 OF SUCCESS IN HUGE CONNECT

Berlin, Sept. 19.-AEen1b CTS of the general staff here in private conversa- tion have manifested absolute conf dence in the outcome of the battle in France, as their own army is steadily growing stronger and the lines of communication have been adjusted to permit of more efficient supply Of provisions and ammunition, it having rather outrun it's supply arrange ments in the rapid advance on Paris.
 The French army, according to the night bulletin, is showing signs Of having fought itself to a standstilI being unable to fill it's depleted ranks like the Germans. The Germans, ac~ cording to last nights bulletin, are slowly but surely gaining ground in the center.
 < The Headquarters announcements still give no definite Information re- garding the position of the battle line, eo15tenting themselves with speaking of 1t generally as located between the Disc and the Mouse rivers, but not
 mentioning what part of this large re- zion the Germans occupy.
 Lieut. Werner Won Bauefieu. one of the best known German aviators, has been killed He was nortally wound ed while accommodating a hostile po- sition on September 4, but clung to the steering gear until he and his ob- server had safely landed within the German lines He then collapsed

As result Of the trip the observer was able to deliver valuable report.
 The we'll known sculptor, Friedrich Pfannschmidt. captain of the 4th foot guards, was killed in the battle near Chalons.
 A shower of steel arrows relsaGed by French av3ators over a mile high in the air, is the most wodern terror or war, according to accounts of Ger man wounded, printed in the Munich Medical Weekly. The arrows, which are Of pressed steel from four to sir inches long and a quarter of an inch in diameter, have a heavy pointed head and a skeletonized shaft. The arrows seem to have caused more sur prise than actual damage. Only one man was killed in the attack de- scribed, the other missiles causing mostly flesh wounds.
 The regiment to which the wounded belong, resting in close battalion for- nation. paid little attention to two a.viators circling a mliIe overhead un- til the novel proJectiles suddenly ratned down, scattering far and wide. Men were wounded in three compa- nies. The battery in the rear. at hrst nonplusseds later realized the source Of the missiles and>as many as possible crawIed under the wagons and escapea another shower of them.

 The latest official news sets forth that there has been Iull in the ti- tanic artillery duel This is taken to indicate that today's struggle may be marked by a tremendous advance of infantry such as made the battIefeld of the NIarne scene of indescribable horror and desoFation The news from Berlin censoring reports of the move nent of the German forces has a more confident ring. The admission has been made that the German army was short Of ammunition, but this has been rectfhed and supplies and rein- sforcements are being sent forward without trouble

From many points in the dual mon archy come disquieting reports. Pola, the naval base on the Adrtatic, is said to be in revolt while the people of Vii enna, refusing 1onged to have their at tention diverted towards the west, are demanding news of the situation in Galicia, from which district hordes of refugee Poles and wounded Austrian soldiers are pouring into the capital adily. Violent scenes outside the min istry of war at Vaenn4 are reported.
 The most cruel aspect, from the British standpoint, Of the terrible bat tie now raging in the western arena of the war is the dreadful apprehension with which the British public awaits the publication of the casualty list of last weeks lighting, Many of Great Britain's most famous regiments are reported to have been moved down in the terrific assaults on the heights held by the Germans above the river Aisne. The German public also may expect a shock in this regard, for the batt1eheIds already swept over give evidence. according to reports received here, that the famous Prussian guard corps has been virtually wiped out
