cused of favoring the naming of Mr.
Brown az referee or umpire but this
he denied. He said that when the

ANOTHER NORTH SEA BATTLE
Censorship curtails information Of
Army Operations


London, Sept. 5.-That anoih-
e. naval engagement in the
North Sea has occurred. seems
possible from a statement issued By
the London official press bureau IT
said seven German torpedo boat des.
troyers had arrived at Kiel in q dant-
aged condition and that others were
understood to have been sunk "in the
vicinity of the Kiel canal"
Because of the rigid censorship
maintained by the warning powers in
Europe It is almast impossible to ar
rive al any definite conclusion as "a
tho status OF the battling armies 10
France, yet The reports that do filter
through seem to indicate that In
psite OF checks" the Germans ara
pushing forward toward their goal
Paris. According To the French war
Office the situation has not under.
gene substantial change. yet il is re
ported that one German movement
is developing in an eastward and
southeastward direction
Throughout all however is a clearly
defined indication that the German
general advance continues in spite Of
nanking mancuvres and the holding
OF positions"
That Great Britain is thoroughly
alive to the gravity of the situation
may be seen from the appeal of Pre-
mcr Asquith for every ablcbodied
Briton to join the colOrs" Il is
shown from some dispatches that
both Great Britain and France a-o
making desperate cndeavors to rein
force their armies now trying TO pre-
vent the Germans from reaching
Paris.
