I he center, however was the only
point seriously attacked, problbiv on
the supposition that the line has peen

theory is that the armistice of fou.

In any case the opinion is pre%a-

the bad weather will perhaps find

LITTLE CHANGE HOWEVER
IN GENERAL SITUATION


Paris, Sept 29.-'fOn our left wing
along the River Somme," says the
French official statement issued this
afternoon, the Germans attempted
numerous attacks which the allies re-
pulsed
The text Of the statement is as ioI-
lows:
"First-On our left wing, to The
north of the Somme and between the
oomme and the Disc, the enemy both
by day and by night delivered several
attacks, which have, however, been
repulsed. To the north of the Aisne
there has been no change
"Second-In the center in Clam.
pagne and to the east of the Arg g0nne
the enemy has restricted his acti Vi
ties to heavy cannonading. Between
the Argonne and the Meuse there
has been slight progress on the part
OF our troops, who are confronted by
strongly organized positions.
"On the heights of the Meuse /.
the Wovre district and on our right
wing, in Lorraine and the Vo5r>t,
there has been no notable mo lihcA-
tion in the situation"
Generally speaking our line flns
region Of Point-a-Mousson, Aprem mt
and the Meuse, through the region #
st. Mihiel. along the heights to the
north of Spada and through portion
of the heights of the Meuse To tie
southeast of Verdun, between Yer lrn
and Rheims, the general front is Indi-
Gated by a line passing through the
region of Varennes to the nortn Of
Souayan and the Roman roadway
which runs into Rheims, the outpoJts
.of Rheims, the road from Rheims to
Berry-au-Bac and the heights known
as the 'Chemin des Danes
'On the right bank of the Aiile
this line then draws near to the A,5ne
and continues into the region of SOis-
sons. Between scissors and the for
est Of L'Aigle it runs over the first
plateau of the right bank of the Ais
ne. Between the Disc and the Somne
this line runs along the front from
RlbecOurt (Which belongs TO us) TO
Lassigny occupied by the enemy 20
Roye (Which belongs to us) and to
Cnaulnes Gn the possession of Ito
enemy
TO the north of the Somme the
line continues along the plateau 'e-
tween Albert and Combles.
I'VE again took many prisoners dur
ing the day Of yesterday. They belong
principally to the 7th active corps and
the 9TH reserve corps of the German
army, and also to the 10th, 18th, ! Jth
and 18th German army corps"

RELIEF OF SOUTH.

Washington, Sept 29-Goyernors
and congressional delegations from
cotton states continued their confer
ences here today, to devise some
means for the relief of Southern cot
ten producers from European war con
ditions.
Two Of the chief plans considered
I were the leyying Of "a prohibitiye tax
of 10 cents per pound Oh the 1875
yield in excess of 80 per cent of the
1914 production, also the le4ying of
500 an acre tax on every acre plant
ed in cotton in 1915 in excess of 80
per cent Of the acreage Of 1914.
Whether the federal or state gov
eTnment should assume the task OF

principal issue developed in consider
ing the curtailment plans.
