liam L. Davis, proprietor of the i1o-
tel, was found in bed and his case has
been continued until such time as he is
able to appear before Judge Arthur
w. Stone in the municipal court.
The hide was a carefully construct
ed one and one that has defied the Of
ficers of the law for several years past.
The liquor was concealed out of doors
while the entrance to the hide was
from within the hotel. Davis has been
searched repeatedly by deputy sher-
ifs and enforcement deputies without
result. II is said that Dexter is dryer
than at any other time In years. :

ARTILLERY DUEL BETWEEN
TWO GIGANTIC ARMIES

LONDON, Sept. 2l.-(Speclal.)- Ona
of the fiercest battles of all times,
which has been raging across north
ern France for a week past with first
q slight advantage on one side and
then on the other, remains undecio
early this morning. The two great ar
mics which have been fighting for a
month, with few if any intermissions,
have dug themselves into entrench-
ments on rivers and mountain ranges
On front reaching from the Disc to
the Meuse and thence southeastward
along the Franco-German frontier.
Artillery duels such as never before
have been seen are being carried on
with the hope of compelling the evac-
uation of the strongly held positions,
with occasional success to the oppos-
ing sides, while the infantry, in the
face of CALLING fire, have charged
right up to the guns, only to make the
opponents give way slightly, or to b;
repulsed with great losses.
Fighting has been fercest on the al
lies left, which lies on the right bank
of the river Disc, in the vicinity OF
Rheims, the famous cathedral of which
has been set afire by German shells
and between that town and the Ar
come ridge, it has been give and take
all the time.
French official reports again claim
slight progress on the French left and
that the allies Sunday repulsed strong
frontal attacks between Craonne and
Rheims.
Around Rheims itself matters hare
been about equalized, as the Germans
have recaptured the heights of Bri-
mont, while the French have taken
the defenses of La Pompelle. The
French also have secured a success
between Rheims and the Argonne,
where they have taken the village of

PARIS, Sept. 21-(By way of Lon
don)erThe Echo de Paris states that
according to the latest dispatches from
Rome, the German army has begun
retreating movements towards thu
Belgian frontier. This. in the opinion
of the paper, would explain the recent
ly noted diminution in the intensity
of the battle. The paper declares it
learns on excellent authority that the
battle on the Aisne will soon conclude
in fresh retreat by the Germans in
the direction of the forest of Ardnesse,
where, though greatly enfeebled, they
will entrench again.
