conspicuoasly considerate throughout

PRESSURE At RHEIMS LESS.
Damage TO City BY German Shells
Makes French More Determined.

Wakes ereneh more Determined.
Paris, Sept. 22.-The battle of Char
leroi lasted three days and the battle Of
the Marne covered six days tho the re-
tirement Of the Germans commenced on
the third day. Today is the seventh
day of the battle of the Aisnc, the most
violent of the three, but the endurance
of humans seems to have been reached
as the intensity OF the fighting at
Rheims seems to have been passed
Hand to hand fighting occurred yes
terday. The invaders have left the at
tack largely to the immense "brum-
mers" or motors.
1t may we'll be asked il the result
of the lavish use of these immense pro-
jectiles between five and six feet long
is a good investment, as the serious
damage of the Rheims cathedral has
had only the result of increasing the
determination of the French to win.
The significance of yesterdays com
municatiOn is that the allies have ad-
vanced at points where the danger to
the invaders is greatest. The progress
threatens the German righ. and the
advance between Rheims and the Ar
gonne threatens their line of retreat
and communication thru Steanay.
The deduction of the military ex-
perts here is that the WEAKNESS shows
more decidedly in the German camp.
They are said to be feverishly active IN
their work on Notifications on the
Sambre from Maubeuge to Namur and
even on their lines of defense across
the German frontier, and this Is taken
to indicate a lack of con nfidence Of tie
final issue in the clash of the Aisne.

Another day has gone and neither
side nor the other-Germany nor the
allies-lay claim to any decisive OUT
come In the battle Of tho Aisne. where
the supreme conflict. Of the war up to
the present time has been raging.
The enga cement seems to be partak-
ing the nature Of siege. Both sides
still continue to hold most Of their
strongly entrenched positions. The
German line for 100 miles is described
as virtually continuation Of forts and
heavy entrenchments. Tho artillery
fire goes on day and night and under
its cover are sorties Of infantry. Count
cr attack follows attack, and occasion
ally one side or the other gains ground.
1t would appear today that nothing
but a successful hanking movement
could have any serious effect on either
army. Neither front has been broken
an dneither side outhanked.
Rheims Center Of Fighting.
Rheims seems to be the center OF the
most persistent fighting. Tho city has
suffered heavily. The Germans are said
to be most anxious to recapture this
position.
Inc ffenCn OnlCIaI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
issued at Paris this afternoon says that
ncessant German attacks delivered
Yesterday, Sept. II, have failed, and
that the Germans have been compelled
TO retire at more than one point. The
french took many prisoners.
The latest. communication from Ber-
lin, issued Monday night, says the Ger
mans have captured the hill position OF
Craonne and occupied the village Of
Bethany, three miles north of Rheims.
This announcement describes the Ger
mans also - attacking the strong forts
south Of vefdun.
Frsneh in Flankins Movement.
The military expert Of the London
Times gives positions 10 the French
forces on the left which. il correct,
shows remarkable advance along the
flank OF the German right wing. The
French lire has not been previously re-
ported az north Of Noyon. but the
Times places It at Lecatelet thirty
miles north Of Noyon: Rosiel. nine miles
southwest Of Lecatelet, and Lassigny,
eight miles due west of Noyon. These
locations have not been confirmed from
any other sources, the French war office
having contented itself with saying that
the French left wing was advancing
along the right bank Of the Disc.
Dispatches from Servian sources lay
claim to further victories along the
river Drina. According to these ad-
vices the Austrians have been driven
across the river to the Austrian side
with heavy losses.
