PARIS, Sept. S.-It was again the turn
OF the allies left yesterday TO receive the
shock Of the enemy on the battle front
In northern France, and although the Of
ficial communication does not say SO. II
is reliably stated that again they took
many prisoners.
The apparent lack OF consistency in the
operations OF the Germans, added to the
Increased vigilance OF the censors, Ia
making the lot OF the military prophets
hard one. All they can ddduce today
from the Information given out is that
the Germans failed to break through the
allies front anywhere.
Naturally. the absence OF news makes
place for rumors. which are very plenti-
ful. but which no one dares to publish.

Commentators are required also to be
very circumspect, as Is shown by the
blank, white gaps OF various lengths IN
the censored articles in the Paris news
papers All that can be said of the un-
official reports that are printable is that
they are not unfavorable to the allies.
The Zouaves are reported by returning
wounded soldiers to be covering them
selves with glory on the allies left. It
is related that one day recently the
French were obliged to recede under a
tremendous pressure of numbers and left
eight three-inch guns I'm the hands of
the enemy. This enraged the Zouaves
who begged to be allowed TO get them
back and recapture the position.
When trumpets sounded for the charge
and the Zouaves bounded forward many
turned their heads, as they did not wish
to see what they thought was sure to
happen TO them, but on they went sing
ing. and shouting and defying the rain
OF machine gun fire A great proportion
fell on the way, but the rest pressed for
ward until they pounced on the enemy's
line. II seemed then as II there were
only few flashes of steel before the
enemy broke and the cannon were inn
medlately trained on the fleeing foe.
