chau continued with the combined
'sritish-Japanese forces endeawoting
to make a breach in the outer line

LONDON, Sept. %. Six
teen days Of fighting, fourteen
in the battle Of the Aisne, and
two in rear guard action, have
failed to bring decisive victory
to either side in France. This
is admitted at the war office
today, coupled with the state
ment, however, that all of the
advantage remains with the
allies. While the censorship is
more strict than at any time
since the opening Of hostih-
ties, 1t is explained that there
are certain evidences, especial
u on the extreme left, that
the Germans are weakening.
The allies have been heavily
reinforced and are subjeeting
the forces Of Won Boehm and
Won Kluck to stern pressure
along the line from Scissors
north to Mons.
In this connection, q report
telegraphed from Ostend that
Mons was burning, created a
sensation here today. It is at
Mons that General Won Boehm
established his headquarters
when he started south from
Brussels with the main army
that was operating in Bel
gium. His army was assigned
to prevent Won Kluck being
outflanked by the French ar

west, presumably Boulogne,
where it had been gathered to
support q new British force,
the details of which are still
withheld from the public. II
it is true that Mons Is actually
burning, it may mean that the
British French armies are In
strong force and have raided
the German communications
far north Of the point where
up to the present, any fighting
has bsen reported, The Eng
lish people are placing great
hopes on this report but it is
not confirmed from any source
that carries official weight
and ostend, for the last few
days has been q most unreli-
able news factor.
More significant than any
thing else, however, are the
circumstantial reports re-
ceived from Belgian sources,
that an epidemic Of typhoid
and allied diseases has broken
out in the ranks of the Ger
man army and that their
horses are suffering from
glanders. These reports come
from so many sources that they
are generally credited. The
