GERMAN NEWS REACHES
LONDON BY WIRELESS
Movements in East Africa Reported.
Recruiting Continues at Rob-
erts Heights Camp.

LONDON, September 1S.-The follow
ing German official statement was re-
ceived here last night by the Maroon
Wireless Telegraph Company:
at is reported from East Africa that
German colonial troops have success
fully attacked the Uganda railway at
different points.
Information has been received from
Cape Town to the effect that a German
division nthe Orange river has been
surprised and made prisoners by the
South African forces.
"All Germans between nireteen and
forty-five years of age resident in
states of the South African Union are
being accommodated in the concentra-
ton camp at Roberts Heights.
subscriptions to the German war
loan, which began at the savings
banks. have surpassed all expectations.
servian Forces Repulsed.
'Servian forces which crossed the
river Save have been repulsed every
where. The enemy has now been cleared
out of the districts of Syrmia and
Banat.
rifles in the form of sticks have
been taken from Belgian franc-tireurs
irregular troops). These rides were
81 centimeters long and could be fired
by merely pressing a button. Our
troops have been warned OF tine danger
of these apparently harmless instru-
ments in the hands of fanatical Bel
gians.
The report in London that the Ger
man moratorium has been extended to
the end of September Is untrue. A
moratorium was neither required nor
decreed. There is. therefor, no foun-
dation for the report that Its prolonga-
ton is contemplated. All the banks are
carrying on business as usual"

WANTS JUR|STS Of j. S.
TO CONDUCT INQUIRY
London Spectator Thinks Americans
Should Pass on Charges Of
German Atrocities.

LONDON. September 10, 12:45 pm
An inquiry by American jurists into
the allega lions of German disregard
Of the rules Of civilized warfare Is
suggested by the Weekly Spectator. in
its current issue.
Undoubtedly, American turfsts
would command most general conf
dence," the Spectator says. I'VE can
not ask President Wilson or the
American government to appoint such
committee of inquiry. They would
naturally be afraid of annoying the
German government by SO doing and
of imperiling that strict neutrality
which they desire to maintain in the
case of the German empire.
By Private Invitation.
I'VE do not see, however. why the
French, British and Belgian govern
ments should not privately invite three
American jurists of high distinction
to undertake the work of discovering
whether the Germans have respected
and are respecting the agreement
made at The Hague in 1899 and 1907
and also those rules of civilized war
fare which generally are respected by
belligerents. and to report whether any
these rules have been made by military
! order or whether such. cases of in
huma nifty as have taken place were
due merely to the soldiery having got
out of hand and that the responsible
officers did their best. even If inef-
fectively. to check the unauthorized
action.
President Wilson could hardly for
bid Americans to conduct such an in
quiry."
Opposes Dutch Committee.
The Spectator takes exception to the
suggestion Of Lord Selborne that Dutch
jurists should join with the America ms,
on the ground that the Dutch people
stand today In the grip Of Germany
and that it would not be fair to ask
Dutch jurists by their action to expose
their country to the risk of bringing
upon it the fate that has overtaken
Belgium.
american jurists." the Spectator
concludes, happily need not be weigh
ed down bv such considerations"

Enemy in Formidable Position.

Saturday, the 18th. the enemy were
found to be occupying a very formida-
Bile position opposite US on the north
of the line at scissors. They held both
sides of the river and an intrenched
line on the hills to the north of eight
road bridges and two railway bridges
crossing the Aisne within our section
of the front. Seven of the former and
both Of the latter had been demol-
ished.
working from the west to the east.
our Sd Army Corps gained some high
ground overlooking the Aisne valley.
to the east of scissors. Here long
range artillery duel between our guns
and those of the French on our left
and the enemy's artillery on the hills
continued during the greater part Of
the day, and did not cease until nearly
midnight. The enemy had very large
number of heavy howitzers in well
concealed positions.
The movement of this army corps
was effected in cooperation with the
French sixth army on our left, which
gained the southern half of the town
during the night.
The I'd Army Corps did not cross
the Aisne. The LIST Army Corps got
over the River vesle, to the south OF
the Aisne, after the crossing had oeen
secured by the LIST Cavalry Division.
1t then reached a line south of Aisne
practically without fighting.
AT Braisne the LIST Cavalry Division
met with considerable opposition from
infantry and machine guns holding
the town and guarding the bridge.
With the aid of some of our Infantry
| it gained possession of the town about
midday, driving the enemy to the
north. The Germans had thrown a
large amount of field gun ammunition
into the river, where it was visible
under two feet of water.

Germans Glad to Surrender.

During the last three or four days
many isolated parties of Germans have
been discovered hiding in the woods
long way behind our line. As a rule
they seemed glad to surrender.
AT Senlis. Immediately on his ar
rival. a proclamation was issued by
the commander of German division.
The main points were that all arms
were to be handed in at the town hall
at once; that all civilians found with
arms would be shot at once; no person
was to be in the street after dark; no
lights were to be maintained in the
houses or streets; the doors of all
houses were to be left open and the
inhabitants were not to collect in
groups. Any obstruction Of the Ger
man troops or the threatening of them
would be Immediately punishable by
death.
"At Villiers Cotterets it was stated
by the inhabitants that the enemy had
left behind a large amount Of the
bread requisitioned, had destroyed and
abandoned fifteen motor lorries, seven
guns and ammunition wagons.
Rheims was occupied by the enemy

Reach Line North of ourcq River

Reach Line North of Ourcq River.
Friday. September IL, but little op-
position was met with along any part
of our front and the direction of the
advance was, for the purpose of CO.
operating with our allies, turned
slightly. to the northeast. By nightfall
our forces had reached a line north OF
the Ourc. extending from Ouichyla-
Chateau to Longpont.
ION this day there was also a gen.
eral advance OF the French along their
whole line. which ended in substan-
tial success in one portion of the field,
Duke Albrecht of Wurttemberg's army
being driven back across the Saul, and
elsewhere the whole of the artillery
of a German corps being captured.
Several German co:ors also were taken.
1T was only on this day that the full
extent of the victory gained by the
allies September s was appreciated by
them, and the moral effect of this sue
cess has been enormous. An order
dated September and Z issued. by the
commander of the German 7th Corps
was picked up. 1t stated that the. great
object of the war was about to be at
tanned. since the French were going
to accept battle, and that upon the re-
suit of this battle would depend the
issue of the war and the honor of the
German armies.

Fighting Along the Aisne.

"op our right the French reached the
line of the River Vesle. On this day
began an action along the Aisne which
Is not yet finished.
SUNDAY, the 18th, extremely strong
resistance was encountered along the
whole of our front, which was some
fifteen miles in length.
THE action still consisted for the most
part of long-ranSe gun fire, that OF the
Germans being to a great extent from
their heavy howitzers. Some Of the
actual crossings of the Aisne were
guarded by strong detachments Of in
fantry with machine guns.
BY nightfall portions Of all three
corps were across the river, the cav
airy returning to the south side. By
this night, or early next morning,
three pontoon bridges had been built
and our troops also managed to get
across the river by means of the bridge
carrying the canal over the river.
ION our left the French pressed on,
but were prevented by artillery fire
from building pontoon bridge at
scissors. A large number Of infantry,

period from September 10 to Is, writ

British before the advance commenced,

tactical importance is the fact that
there are six rivers cunning across the

which it was possible that the Germans
night make resistance. These are, in
order from the south, the Marine. Ourcq,
,isne, Ailette and Disc.
The enemy held the line of the Marine,
which was crossed by our forces Sep

ere runs almost due east and west,
ightly held, while resistance along the
Aisne, both against the French and
