BRIToNs AWAIT WAR NEWS
 WITH REMARKABLE PATIENCE.
Last Official Details of Battle Were
 Given Out Last Thursday.

London, Sept. 21. 500 p. m.-The pa tience with which the British people await news from the war is as re- markable as it is unexpected. They know that the British troops have been engaged for a week in a terrible battle which is the continuation of all the fighting, and which has gone on, with two or three brief respites, since August 23. They know that the little hardest fighting throughout and that the next roll of casualties will be heavy.
 Yet they appear to recognize that i'm exorable military necessity imposes them these days of suspense and from newspapers and public little complaint is heard.
 The last official report revealing any details of the British operations was published last Thursday night. That report was not long and dealtt for the most part with scattered incidents o1 Field Marshal Sir John French's ad- vance against the German right wing It dropped the curtain upon the eevents of September IA. The later official re- ports have been terse bulletins whict enabled the newspapers only to draw fresh lines on their maps showing the progress of the battle front. These bull letins have merely announced accomp- lished moves in the war game like cabled reports of an internationa. chess match.
 try understanding taht the require. ments of secrecy overshadow all othel considerations and that the officers ol the staff have no time to spare fol writing descriptions of the engage. ments.

PRESIDENT PRAYERFuULY WORKING FOR PEACE
For the Present He Will Take No Further Steps to Sound BelIiger- ents,

Washington. Sept. 21.-While Presi- dent Wilson told his callers today that he was "'prayerfully working for peace in Europe" it is known that for the present he will take no further steps either to sound the belligerents or otherwise press the offer of the Amer ican government to mediate. The pres ident indicated that he was studying the best method most opportune time for the United States to exert its influence for a cessation of the conflict.
 The general view among admins tration officials is that none of the belligerents is receptive as yet to a discussion of peace terms and with a feeling of resignation the progress of the opposing armies is awaited.
 Officials of the state department is absorbed in questions of neutrality. Their 1abors will be lessened, however, through the announcement of definite rules governing merchant ships writ ten by Robert Lansing, acting secre- tary of state and issued yesterday. The rules represent an advanced stand on the part of a neutral gov ernment and are expected to serve as an important precedent in information al law.
 The diplomatic representatives of Great Britain, France and Germany called on MT. Lansing within the same hour today but on different missions. Hancl Won Haimhausen. councillor of the German embassy, introduced Bar on Van Schoen. formerly secretary of the German embassy at Tokio. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambas- sador. formally delivered the protest of his government against the burning of the cathedral at Rheims. The ambassador spoke with feeling as he explained the loss of the cath edral.
 "The building was so large, so colos- sal" he said afterwards. that it could not be missed if it was aimed at, and loomed so high that without difficulty the Germans could have avoided hit ting it. We French feel very strongly its loss It would be the same as one of your most precious buildings were destroyed

CHINESE CREWS ARE
 IMPRISONED FOR MuTINY
Taken from German Refugee Steamer
 at Honolulu.

Honolulu. Sept. 21.-Seventy mem bers of the Chinese crews of, the Ger man refugee steamers Loong Moon, Staatssekertar Kraetke and G-overneur JaeSchke of the Hamburg American line, were imprisoned here last night on mutiny charges made by the cap- tains of the vessels.
 The captains of the German steam CTS say they fear further trouble from the 150 Chinese still aboard their ships. They said the Chinese had re- fused to stay aboard any longer.
 The crews versions of the trouble, as related by the Chinese consul is that tho alleged mutIneers were taken trom Chinese waters on a promise that they would be returned in a week but that they were taken to the Mar shall Islands instead and forced to work day and night coaling three German cruisers. They were then brought to Honolulu, they told the consul, and given to understand that their stay aboard ship in this port would be indefinite.
 The three Hamburg -Americaners on which the trouble occurred are con- paratively small vessels, which ran in here to avoid the possibility of capture When the Loongmoon came in few days ago, she did not stop at quaran. tine, and was sent back outside the harbor by the port officers.

PLANS FOR EVACUATION
 OF VERA CRUZ COMPLETE
Will Probably Be Able to Get Away Within a Fortnight.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Plans for the evacuation of Vera Cruz were com pleted today at conference between President Wilson and Secretary Gar rison. The latter sent word to Gen eral Funston that as soon as the state department could adjust certain ques- tfons which had arisen over the pay ment of funds collected at the GUS toms house and American refugees cared for, date would be fixed for the departure of the troops. Secretary Garrison expressed the opinion that the troops probably would be able to get away within a fortnight or so. The secretary made it clear that the American government would not Iun- dertake to care for any of the refu- gees in Vera Cruz except Americans and that of the 300 nuns and priests there. the Washington government would assume responsibility only for the Americans. Church organizations of other countries. it is presumed, will pay for the transportation of the others unless foreign governments re- quest relief. General Funston esti- cates that besides the 300 so-called religious refugees there are 1000 others who desire to leave before the exac- uation begins. Secretary Garrison be- lieves there will be ample accommoda- tions for them on commercial vessels

of the Aisne and in the Craonne dis trict, where the Germans, the French official communication says, have been repulsed at all points with consider able losses.
 This is an extremely difficult coun- try over which to make an advance. The plateau of Craonne is of limestone formation. with the sides almost as perpendicular as walls; the vallsys in wet weather become quagmires, It was on this plateau just a century ago that Butcher failed to check Ma poleon. The allies apparently have sealed the walls of the plateau and now held the heights, but ahead of them they found Won Kluck in great strength and are now awaiting the outcome of the attempt to turn his flank, which would clear the road for them. The French army, which is trying to work around the German right is pushing it's way slowly along. Starting from Compiegne, it reached Noyon. and today is on the heights of Lassigny.
 It's next objective point is Tergnier 19 miles from Laon, an important rail- way Junction which the Germans are using for provisioning their forces. French Make Headway in Champagne,
 The French have made some head- way in Champagne and on the west ern slope of the Argonne and have reoccupied Mesnil-les- -Hurlus and Messages, but elsewhere the\ situation remains as it was. One thing certain neither front has been broken, all at- tempts to do this having been repulse6 and while the German right may be
 bending back a little it is not yet out 1anked.
 All this fighting has been carried on in most execrable weather, a down pour which so often accompanies bat ties, filling trenches with water ani putting brake on the movements ol

AUSTRIAN TROOPS
 FLEEING IN PANIC.
servians Are Now Advancing Toward
 Svorrik.

Paris. Sept. p, s:S5 a. m.-A des- patch to the Havas Agency from Nish, Servia, says:
 After several days of battle near Kroupani, ten miles from the Bosnian border, in which 250,000 Austrians were engaged, the Austrians suffered a complete defeat and are ying in panic from the banks of the river Drina-

On the Battle Front, Sept. 21, by way of Paris, 5.36 ?. m.-The western wing of the German line has been thrust back about seven miles during the last AS hours as a sequel to continuous fighting night and day.
 Both armies, despite almost super human fatigues, show the utmost de- termination not to yield an inch of ground without a terrible struggle, but the fresher troops at the disposal of the allied commanders has gradually forced the Germans to recede.
 Daring Achievements of Tureos.
 The Turcos are adding daily to their record of daring achievements. Late last night in costly bayonet encoun- ter they broke through the German lines without firing more than a. few shots and recaptured and brought back four field guns which the French troops had abandoned the previous day. They seemed to disdafn the murderous rifle and machine gun fire poured into them, refusing to listen to the officers who tried to keep them under cover. ei Hand to Hand Fighting.
 Cold steel again played a consider able part today in the battle of the enormous hosts fighting along the Aisne, the Disc and Woevre. The most remarkable point about the encounters is that the troops scarcely see each OtucT uclofo ticy dCludIly COIIlS uttiiQ to hand.
 The recklessness displayed at the beginning of the hostilities, with the resultant carnage through the machine guns, has almost disappeared and ev- cry movement of the attacking and de- lending troops is carried out with the utmost caution until the moment of actual contact.
 African Troops Adopts With Bayonet
 The Germans have suffered most in these engagements, for the French troops from Africa and the British in- fantry are adopts with the bayonet and they wait warily in the trenches until their adversaries are so close that a quick dash brings them to- gether.
 Joffre Inspires Confidence.
 General Joffre. who is enjoying TO bust health. holds in his hands every phase of the battle Behind the firine line the commander of the allies con- fers daily with the generals in charge of the various allied forces. He has created a feeling of the greatest cheer fitness and confidence among the off cers and men by his absolute indiffer- ence to political and other influences and by his desire to spare them sacri. fees.
 The country behind the French arm, is being rapidly repopulated. Herd: of cattle and sheep mingle with SUD. ply trains along the roads leading tt the north. They are being driven by peasants, women, old men and boys homcward.
