Associated Press.
London, Sept. 24.--The official
press bureau tonight issued a, report
from Field Marshal French on the
British operations in France. The
text follows in part:
THE enemy still Is maintaining
in order to do so is throwing into
the fight detachments of units from
every different formation, the active
army reserves and landwehr, as Is
shown by the uniforms of prisoners
recently captured.
"Our progress, although slow, has
in certain directions been continu-
Gus, but the present battle may last
for some days more before decis-
ion is reached, since 1t now approx
imates somewhat the siege warfare
"The Germans are making use Of
searchlights. This fact, coupled
with great strength in heavy artil-
lery, lead to the supposition that
they are employing material which
may have been collected for the
siege of Paris.
The nature of the situation can
not better be summarized than as
expressed recently by a neighboring
French commander TO his corps
Having repulsed the repeated and
violent coonter attacks made by the
enemy, we have a feeling that we
have been victorious
80 far as the British are con-
cerned the course of events during
the three days can be described in
few words.
Friday. the 18th, artillery fire
was kept up inressantly by both sides
during daylight, At night the Ger
mans counter-sttaeked certain por-
tions OF our line supporting the ad-
vance of the infantry by heavy bonn
bardment but the strokes were not
delivered with great vigor and
ceased about a. m. In the day

in bringing down German aero

THOUGHT 1T KAISER'S ORDER
Explanation of Mysterious Star Raised
Above Cross on Roof of Church
in Berlin.

In illustration of the Difference paid
TO the kaiser's wishes in even the
smallest details, the following story
is told of the star above the cross on
the spire Of the Emperor William Me-
mortal church:
As the kaiser insisted on revising
the plans OF the church, the architect
brought the plans to him, and the kai-
ser scratched out what he did not
like, and made such additions as he
fancied before he gave them the i'm
perial approval. The church was
built. There was to be big gilt
crozs On the spire, and it appeared in
its proper place. But, much to the
general establishment. when the cross
was put up large. many pointed star
was raised above it on a heavy rod.
The Berliners did not understand the
star. They inquired. and the archi-
tect said the kaiser had added the
star to the plans.
The plans were examined Then 1t
was found that in revising them the
kaiser had let fall drop of ink from
his pen on the paper just above the
cross. The architect studied a long
time over this blot OF ink. There
could be no appeal. no inquiries He
finally decided that the blot of ink
signified a star above the cross. and
he put the star there, making it cor
respond as nearly as possible to the
outline OF the blot. The star is still
there
