Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-Reports differ as to the
progress of the great battle in North
France between the allied British and
French armies and the Germans Some
indicate that there is extremely heavy
fighting, while others tell of the great
masses of troops lying in flooded
trenches, many of them at the stage
of exhaustion
At some points at least fierce en-
gagements have been fought with the
tide flowing in one direction and then
in the other The allies have won a
position here and the Germans have
gained one there. But all reports, off.
cial and otherwise, agree that there
is much fighting yet to be done before
any material advantage can be claim
ed by either side.
The British in the trenches say:
1--WE are slowly beating them back"
The French official statement declares
that, though furiously counter-attack-
ed by superior forces and Obliged to
yield some ground, this was regained
almost Immediately,
Berlin officially announces that the
Franco-British forces have been
obliged to take the defensive in
entrenched positions. and that there.
fore the result of German attacks are
slow.
Interesting information has been
given out by the British admiralty re.
garding British success and misfor.
tunes in various waters. The British
merchant cruiser Carmania has sunk
to be either the Cap Trafalgar or the
Berlin, off the coast of South America
but the German cruiser Koenigsberg
has completely disabled the British
cruiser Pegasus while the latter was
overhauling her machinery in Zanzibar
harbor, killing 25 men and wounding
more than three times that number
and the German cruiser Emden has
sunk six British merchant steamers in
the Bay of Bengal.
In the fighting around Rheims the
matter of greatest general interest has
been the destruction of the famous
cathedral, one of the most beautiful
structures in the world, dating back tc
the thirteenth century, which is re-
ported to have been pierced by many
German shells and then to have burst
into flames.

TO WILSON
COMMISSION APPOINTED BY KING
OF BELGIUM RECEIVED BY
PRESIDENT.
U. S. CANNOT TAKE SIDES
Nations Chief Executive Given Report
Of Alleged German Atrocltles-As-
serts It Would Be unwise for Any
Nation to Express Final Judgment.

Washington, Sept. 18.-"It would be
unwise, it would be premature for a
single government, however fortN-
nately separated from the present
trouble; it would be inconsistent with
the neutral position of any nation,
which like this has no part in the con-
test, to form or express a final judg-
ment."
This was the keynote of President
Wilson's reply to the Belgian commits
sioners who came to the White House
on Wednesday to protest against the
wrongs which they declare their ma
ton has suffered from Germany in the
present war
The presidents address follows:
Permit me to say with most sincere
pleasure l receive you as representa-
tives of the king of Belgians, a peo=
pie for whom the people Of the United
States feel so strong a friendship and
admiration, a king for whom they en-
tertain so sincere a respect; and to
express my hopes that we may have
many opportunities for earning and
deserving their regard
Il thank you for the document you
have put in my hands containing the
result of an investigation made by a
judicial committee appointed by the
Belgian government to look into the
matter of which you have come to
speak. 1t shall have my most atten-
tive perusal and my most thoughtful
consideration.
Presently, l pray God very soon,
this war will be over. The day
of accounting will then come when
| take it for granted the nations
of Europe will assemble to determine
settlement. Where wrongs have been
committed, their consequences and the
relative responsibility involved will
be assessed. The nations of the world
have fortunately by agreement made
a plan for such reckoning and set
tlement. What such a plan cannot
compass, the opinion of mankind, the
final arbiter in all such matters, will
supply. 1t would be unwise, it would
be premature, however fortunately sep
arated from the present struggle; it
would even be inconsistent with the
neutral position of any nation which
like this has no part in the contest, to
form or express a final judgment.
Il need not assure you that this
conclusion, in which l instinctively
feel that you yourselves will concur,
is spoken frankly because in warm
friendship and as the best means of
perfect understanding between us, an
understanding based upon mutual re-
spect, admiration and cordiaIity.
You are most welcome, and we are
greatly honored that you should have
chosen us as the friends before whom
you could lay any matter of vital con-
sequence to yourselves, in the conf.
dence that your course would be un-
derstood and met in the same spirit
in which it was conceived and intend
ed"

1t is now possible to give the first
details of the terrific battle OF the
Aisne-the greatest battle in the his
tory of the world.
1t is a story of a deadly duel oi
big guns, of furious attacks, of terrific
counter-attacks, of hand-to-hand
clashes and bayonet charges and OF
frightful carnage.
1t is a story of a succession oi
battles, which have been fought now
on one part of the line and now on the
other, hour after hour, for every hour
of the twenty-four, day after day and
night after night, for six long days
and still with no result at the time OF
writing.
The story starts with the day Of the
fourteenth. From the twelfth to the
morning of the fourteenth the rival
armies mad been fighting a rear-guard
action, precipitated when the retreat.
ing Germans turned at bay to give
battle to their allied pursuers.
The real fighting started on the
morning of the fourteenth, when the
battle became general along the range
of heights to the north of the Aisne.
The fighting was sustained with
deadly earnestness during all Of the
next day, the Germans contesting
every foot of the way in a supreme
endeavor to hold their positions until
re-enforcements could arrive.
On the night of the fifteenth they
appeared to have been strengthened,
and commenced their formidable
movement against the French and
British all along their front. A furi-
Gus attack on the allies extreme left.
with the big guns of the rival artil-
lerists lighting the line of the oppos-
ing fronts in fiery silhouette, was re-
pulsed with great courage by the al
lies. Again and again the Germans
returned to the attack with the tenac-
ity that was the marvel of French
troops. but each time they we're re-
pulsed. No fewer than ten times did
they drive their dense masses Of
troops at the allied infantry, but never
were they able to break through.
All night long the fighting lasted,
the allies bracing themselves, after
each successive counter-attack, to
meet the furious onslaught of charg-
ing Teutons. until toward dawn the
men OF both sides were ready to drop
from sheer exhaustion.
Just before daybreak the Germans
threw all their remaining strength and
energy into one final charge, that was
conducted with all the vim and cour-
age that could be expected of fresh
troops.
They charged like madmen-like
fanatics who knew nothing of the fear
of death.
But they were rolled back again
and to their enormous losses of the
night was added another long roll of
dead and wounded. 1t was as II this
was their one chance OF salvation. and
all the desperation and all the reso.
luton at their command were thrown
into 1t.
Hardly had they recovered from this
hnal grand sOrtie when the allies fol-
lowed with a vigorous counter.att.ck
in an effort to catch the Germans on
their balance. In this the allies were
partly successful. for they gained
ground slightly.

MANY of the wounded on both sides
were obliged to be in the field for days
after they were injured because it was
difficult to find them. owing to the
bushes, trees and other obstacles"
Asked what impression the war had
made on them. the surgeons said It
was dinicult to answer this question.
They were inclined, they said, to say
they had received almost no impres.
sion.
We only work for the wounded and
this leaves Us no time to busy our.
selves with anything elss."

WILL GO AFTER THE BAKERS

Washington.-Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo has sent out 2.OOO
inquiries to different parts of the Uni.
ted States to determine how bankers
are conducting business under the
stress of the unusual conditions ere.
ated by the war in Europe. His pur,
pose is to ascertain to what extent
bankers are unduly boarding and in
creasing their reserves and contract
ing loans without reason. In lesser
degree the secretary has already found
the conditions of 1907 existing.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1914-09-24

I'VE were obliged to work with the
Germans" one of them said. Most of
the wounded were anxious to return
to the fight as soon as possible.
I'VE saw no evidence of men wound.
ed by dumdum bullets on either side.
We found the medical services Of both
the Germans and allies excellent, but
We regret that the German wounded
often were discht rged from the hospl.
tails too early. In some cases their
wounds had not sufficiently healed and
after their discharge the wounds would
open alsain and complicsti ms set in.
