London, Sept. 1.-THE conflict.
ing claims in official communica-
tions issued at the headquarters of
the forces opposing each other so
fiercely in the several battle zones
emphasize the prduce of advice vol
unteered in the latest French COM
munication against drawing infer
ences from phases of the struggle
before a decisive result is attained.
The key to the ultimate outcom
e of what perhaps will be the great
est battle in history, still raging on
the plains Of Champagne to the east
of Paris. lies in the center. For five
days the tide Of battle there has ebb-
ed and flowed, bearing Germans and
French alternately on its crest, with
terrific losses on both sides, but
without permanent advantage on
either side. The Germans would
still appear to be making headlong
efforts to drive their wedge into the
French line at q point to the south
|of Verdun and the already large
army under Crown Prince Frederick
William has been reinforced with
the object of pushing home this at
tack, the result of which is conceded
to be of extreme importance.
On the German right wing, where
the troops of Emperor William are
opposed to the British forces Ger
many officially admits retirement,
but not defeat as was first reported
because OF telegraphic errors in the
Transmission of messages.
The renewal of activity on the
part of the Belgian army seems to
be fact, but up to the present time
it has not gone beyond harrying the
small forces of German reservists
left behind when the army of occu-
patton was sent to the battle fields
to the east Of Paris.
From the extreme right of the
French line comes a report that bat
tie scared Muelhausen has fallen to
the possession of France. IF this is
true. 1t will be the fifth or sixth
time that this AIsacian town has
changed hands in the present war.
On the eastern field of battle the
Russians appear to have been driven
back in East Prussia, but according
to Petrograde advices they continue
to punish the Austrians.
The later intelligence from Ber-
lin indicates that General Won Ben
eckendorff und Won Hindenburg has
gained an important success in East
Prussia. According to this version
1.-THE Russians are in full retreat with
the Germans in close pursuit. The
Russian version is that their de-
tachments are falling back but hold
ing.
German naval activity in the Bal
tic sea is watched with much inter-
est here, but the report that there

ARRESTED ON
GRAND JURY
/ WARRANTS

With the arrest today Of Tony and
Chris Forte, strike sympathizers, on
charges of murder and arson, the
list Of unionists under indictment by
the Las Animas county grand jury
has now reached the fifty mark. The
Frtes were taken at their homes In
this city and lodged in the county
Jail. Jot Olson. a carpenter, baseball
pitcher and all-around strike sympa-
thizer, was the last to be arrested.
The great number f arrests made
since the jury reported will increase
the district court docket to alarming
proportions. Most of the unionists
have been released on bond. The
sheriff holds a number of warrants
not yet served.
No announcement has been made
by Judge A. w. McHendrie as to
what Judge he will call in to preside
at the trial of strike cases in Las
Animas county. Judge Burke OF

indication is given of the breaking
of the powerful battle array which
swept through Belgium and northern
France.
Berlin admits that its forces have
retired before the attack of the al
lies. but the invaders have been
strengthened by the arrival of fresh
troops from Belgium, and they may
resume the offensive. The allies
also reported to be preparing for
German reinforcements by bringing
up reserves.
A French offensive is not expected
by experts as the French line occu-
pies ground that has been used for
many years for maneuvers, conse-
quently every inch of 1t is known to
the French officers.
There are indications here that re-
ported determination of Austrian
forces in Galicia is exaggerated. The
Russians apparently have halted
their attack because of exhaustion
or because the Austrian or German
forces were found to be unexpectedly
strong.
On the east Prussia front neither
side seems to have been able to hold
its position. There is a possibility,
however, that Russia is awaiting the
advent of winter which will freeze
the marshes before making serions
attack in this direction. Germany
has about 100000 men along the
East Prussia border and will doubt
less make a stubborn stand there I'd
prevent the opening Of the most d.
rect road to Berlin.
Nish reports that the capture OF
the Austri<h stronghold Of Semlin.
II this IS confirmed it means that
Belgrade is relieved from investment
after stubbornly resisting an Aus
tritan bombardment since the be-
ginning of the war.
The supposed r/tirement of the

tory they occupied in Belgium has
apparently led to tentative efforts
on the part of Belgian troops to as
sumo an offensive movement from
their strong bases at Antwerp.

WAR ATTITUDE
Of TURKEY

Washington, Sept. 11.-President
Wilson today sent a personal letter
to Secretary Bryan asking that the
attention of Turkish Ambassador A.
Rusten Bey be called to the presi-
dents recent statement to the people
of the United States on tho subject
of neutrality. Published reports
that the recall of the ambassador
was to be asned because of his re-
cent statements were denied at the
White House and the state depart
ment.
They were inclined to believe,
however, that as the special privil-
eyes granted by Turkey were woven
in most all of her agreements its
effect would be to break off Tur-
keys treaty relations with the en-
tire world. That view was con-
firmed in Turkeys notification that
the Ottoman government had adopt
ed as the basis of its relations with
the other powers the general prin-
ciples of International law. Off
cials here believe that the effect of
Turkeys action wifi be as follows:
"Americans and other foreigners
who have had the right of trial In
civil and criminal cases by their
own diplomatic and consular courts
now will be subject entirely to Of
toman law.
Turkey will be able to increase
or reduce her custom dutys without
the consent of the powers. Ameri-
