ARMISTICE DECL AIRED ALONG AISNE
 TO ALLOW FOR BURIAL, OF THE DEAD

\ Paris. Sept. 2sThe comparatiys calm on the French battle line yester- day after Sundays storm Of shot and shell was a surprise. It was supposed that the extreme violence of the Ger man attack meant a determination to finish the campaign on the Aisne by breaking the allies lines at all costs and the pressure, it was expected, would continue, especially on the all lies left. where the Germans had brought up endorsements
 The center, however was the only point seriously attacked, probably on the suppositfon that the line had weakened to reinforce the left. One theory Is that the armisttce of four hours granted by the French for bury ing the dead was not sufficient and that the invaders needed the entire day to get rid of the bodies encum ber- ing the trenches, and another Is that a further shifting of troops is in pro- gress preparatory to a, violent shock elsewhere, all efforts against the left having failed.
 In any case the opinion is prevalent

PRAISES CAMPAIGN
 OF RUSSIAN ARMY

Petrograd, Sept. 29-Col. shumsky military critic of the Bourse Gazette comments on the success of the Rus sians in operating through the Car pathian Mountains as one of the most notable in military history.
 Despite the generally accepted idea, P he says, that Russian tr oops are un- able to operate in the mountains. as shown in the Manchurian campaign, the Russians on this occasion proved that under able leadership they are able to conquer alike on the plains or in the mountains.''
 Referring to events on the river Me men, Col. Shumsky says:
 It is essential to determine wheth- CT the Germans will be able to com pei the Russians to refrain from the operations in the Carpathians in order to rush to the Niemen.''
 He believes the operation on the Me men. even in the event of German success, of which he says there are vry few indications, will not have de cisive significance, while the Russian operations in Galicia and in the Car pathians will influence the whole course of the campaign.
 The correspondent of the Novoe Vremya- reports that the Austr1ans are suffering from a shortage of food.

London, Sept. 29--Another appar- ent 1un along the Western battle line in France has caused the center of interest again to shift to che East. The whereabouts and strength of the Rus sian army is stin somewhat of a my stery. The fapIike Russian advance, however, is still sweeping across Ga1icia. closing in and forcing the Austrians through the passes of the Carpathians and into the plains of Hungary.
 Ia the battle along the Western conditions are again figuring. The Ger mans, who are reported to be ex- hausted by their strenuous marches. are said to be especial sufferers, as they occupy limestone trenches which do not drain readily.
 The latest official communications from Paris report that the conditions on the allied left wing are favorable, while the troops in the center have successfully resisted the violent Ger man attempts to break the French line
 The most significant portion of the communication asserts that the allies have progressed slightly, and another report, which if true is Significant, comes from a Brussels traveller who asserts that large numbers Of battle wearied German troops are arriving there from France.
 In his review Of the situation on the battle in Northern France the Paris correspondent Of the Times says:
 "The French left continues to make progress On the other hand the Germans have attained no appreciaible

here that the Germans are losing valuable time and that a return of the bad weather will perhaps find them still burrowed in the chaIky clay of the Aisne district and that they will again be forced by invading floods to uncover themselves.
 The military operations in the ex- trerne east of the Vosges and in AL sace have been hfndered by bad weather, as there is on the heights snow, and in the valleys floods. The Rhine is much swollen, while the Doller, III and Thurd rivers have over flowed. The plain between Muel- hausen and the nountains is under water to a great extent and it is i'm possible to move heavy artillery, which gives an advantage to the allies, whose guns are comparatively light.
 Both sides, however, are handicap ped, and if the bad weather continues 1t will have the result of prolonging the campaign on this side Of the yosges and the Ardennes region

advantage from their success on the heights Of the Mouse. The breach they made is too narrow to permit the passage of the Mouse by forces in sufficient numbers
 Nothing decisive has yet occurred, but the scanty news available is cer- tainly to the advantage of the allies rather than to the enemy. The furious battle Of the Aisne is a soldiers battle in the sense that ground is won and the final victory must be attained by the courage and tenacity of the in- farltry. On no point along the g1gan- tic lines has the Ang1o-French wall been pierced.
 "The German center still holds strongly. in fact. it seems clear, as pointed out by Col. Rousset, the naili- tary critic of the Liberte, that the Germans have received orders to break through the French lines any where and at any cost. The Russian steam roller has come too close to be any longer disregarded and it is felt by the German General Staff that a decisive success must be won against the allies in the Western theatre of war in order that Germany may be able to turn nits attention with some assurance. to the victorious advance of the Russians in the East

 The moment for the actual siege of Antwerp, according to the best in formed circles here, will depend on the outcome of the present battle in Northern France. Should Germany win in this battle, the attack on Ant werp will be pushed at once, while in case of a German defeat the troops now holding the line of the Scheldt will be used to resist any Belgian attempt to cut the route of the retreating Ger man army.
 It is impossible to get correct figures regarding the strength of the German troops, but according to the best in formation to be had from Brussels, enough German troop trains have pass- ed through that city since last Mon day to bring the number up to 150, 900 men.

Used Queens Mattress.

Paris, Sept. 29-GabrieI Mourey curator of the Chateau de Pierrefonds at Compiegne, reports that the Ger mans laid straw on the ground floor where the soldiers slept, smoked and burned candles. The officers did not sleep in Marie Antoinette's bed, but they took the mattresses and cover ings from it and slept on the floor of the historic bedroom. The Beauvais tap estries had been removed to a. safe place before the arrival of the Ger mans.
 The Germans took nothing away and the damage done to the furniture can be easily repaired. A chessboard given to Queen Caroline of Naples to Napoleon is still at the chateau, but the pieces, the kings, queens, knights and pawns, were taken away by the officers as souvenirs.
