PARIS, Sept. is G:35 p. M
After raging for nearly six fun days
the battle of Aisne has reached its cu-
minating point. 1t IS to be decided by
the artillery duel that continues with n
hail of shrapncl from. the guns of the
Germans and the allies, devastating
both banks of the peaceful river.
The allies have no intention OF sacrllc-
ing vast numbers of soldiers by sending
them against the strong German posi-
tions. 1t was decided at conference be-
tween General French. General Joffre and
Minister of War Millerand that the issue
is to be decided by the artillery They
have no doubt as to the outcome
"Olr artillery already has determined
it's superiority" said a high Govern
ment official this afternoon after return
ing from General Joffre's headquarters.
THE Germans cannot withstand it much
longer. Their inferiority in marksman-
ship has been demonstrated.
"At the first sign of IL sharp break on
their right wing our cavalry will be upon
them. The infantry will follow. They
are in such a position that they must
win TO escape debace. Our position
is such that they cannot win.
As the German right now lies It's po-
sition is extremely strong. but it cannot
resist the continuous artillery fire for
ever 1t is a position bounded by the
towns of Noys, scissors, Laon and La
Fere. This we have learned through the
daring of our avators.
"On the natural redoubt formed by the
heights the Germans have brought
their contingents Of devastating heavy
artillery. Their lines of communication
are intact
THE French position is equally strong
ana our fine guns are now pouring n
hail Of shrapnel on the enemy from the
southern heights of the Aisne If the
allies win the Germans will certainly he
driven from French territory altogether"
