London, Sept. 15.-9;25 p. m.-The
battle OF the Marne has about come
to an end and although the allied
armies are keeping in touch with the
Ietreatlng Germans Il is evident the

the northward advance OF the British

stand north of the River Aisne on
line marked by the forest OF L'Aig e

Generals Won Buelow and Won Hau-

the crown prince are falling back to
straighten out the front on which the
next big battle is likely to be fought

punished badly in t,<ir long retreat

RAN into WALL OF WATER
Coaches Toppled over Into a Torrent
Rushing Through Dry Ravine-
Eighteen Injured But None scri-
ously.

st, Louis, Sept. 15.-Twenty-seven
persons were drowned today when a
st. Louis and San Francisco west
bound passenger train plunged into a
cloud burst two miles west of T.e-
banon, Mo, and two passenger cars
toppled into gully swollen with wa,
ter.
Eighteen persons were injured, but
none seriously Ninety-nine persons,
including the train crew, were on the
train.
The wreck occurred before day
break but as wire communication wa,
interrupted by heavy storm last
night nothing was known of THE dis
aster at the Frisco general offices for
several hours. The accident occurred
at a curve marking the edge of a
ravine. For several hours the train
had been going carefully as the en-.
gineer feared the heavy rains had
weakened his track. Just as the loco
motive hit the curve, two miles from
water ahead. Though going only fif
teen miles an hour the train could
not be stopped The twelve foot en-
hankment on which the track crossed
the ravine had been swept away by
the rush of water. The locomotive
crossed The sagging track but the
chair car and the smoking car rolled
over into the torrent. The lOcomo-
tive and the mail and the baggage
cars forced by momentum across the
ravine, finally left the rails and
toppled partly over the structure
three feet under water. The fireman,
J. II. Stockstill was crushed to death,
but the engineer escaped injury.
None of the mail clerks or express
messengers were hurt The four
sleeping cars remained on the track
behind the stream. The chair car
and smoking car sank in the rushina
water.
Many Of the occupants were drown
ed while they sept. Others climbes
through the windows of the sub
merged cars and swan to safety.
Miss Mona Campbell, Of st. Louis.

of the chair car and rescued five inn

aviators run great risks following the
retrograde movements of the German
army but succeeded in gathering tie
information that the Germans had
erected fed works at various places
along the northern plateau beyond
Rheims.
These works were intended by the
Germans for the event of meeting
superior forces and being obliged to
retire and reform.
1t Is understood they left several
corps on their western wing and on
their center with the desperate task
| of holding these lines so as to pre-
vent their pursuers from harrassing
the bulk of the German army which.
| in the meantime, was making quickly
for the frontier.
| Many detached parties OF German
troops have bee ncaptured wandering
about the woods where they found
themselves with little ammunition and
no food supplies and deserted by their
comrades who were making forced
marches.

remote, thousands of men are being

new forces and to fill the gaps in the
ranks of the armies which have been
in the field since the beginning of the
war.
Some military critics are of tho
opinion that the stand now being
made by the Germans along the River
Aisne is the beginning of new bat
tie which may develop into combat
almost If not quite as important as
that OH the Marne 1t is pointed out,
however, that the struggle must be or
frontal from the German side while
the allies occupy positions from which
an enveloping movement can be eff
fected
The strength Of the respective
forces engaged, although kept secret
is believed to be almost equal 1t Is
argued. however that the allies pos
sess the advantage of prestige which
has been increased since they re,
pulsed the Germans on the east OF
Paris. The allies also command the
railroads which enable them to bring
endorsements. This the Germans
are not in a position to do, it IL
thought owing to the activity of Bel
gians in keeping several German army
corps engaged since taking the Of

Russia's Sacrifice,

London, Sept. 16.-2:25 a. ma
Petrograd dispatch to the Post says:
1T is only now that the oppor-
tunity presents itself to exhibit in
due proportions the selfsacrificing
strategy of Russia at the opening OF
the war for the purpose of tightening
the task of her allies.
"The immediate necessity was to
prevent the destruction of the French
armies by rapid diversion. This Rus
sia accomplished magnificently. Her
raid in East Prussia right up to Koe-
nigsburg relieved the pressure on
France by compelling Germany to
withdraw her best troops from
France and replace them with re-
serves. This movement is still N
progress.
The services Russia performed
were costly to herself but priceless to
her allies.
The orders given to General Rem
nenkampff who commanded the raid
into East Prussia, were such as to
prove conclusiyery Russia's loyal self
sacrifice in the common cause.
There We're but scanty chances that
Russia could reach suitable territory
for a decisive battle. Nevertheless,
Russia nearly accomplished this, for
she got within one march of thes his
toric battlefields OF Eylau and Fried
land. Rennenkampff's orders were
to take his forces as far as possible
into Prussia without regard to loSzu.
