Continued from Page ii

London, Sept. 24.-Heavy artillerI
continues to play a leading part in thu
battle of the Aisne, which has been in
progress nearly a fortnight. The on
posing forces continue to hammer
away at each other from their weller
trenched and fortified positions with
the greatest stubborness, but with
out decision.
Almost without a lul great shells
are being hurled across the rivers, val
lcys and plains stretching from the
river Disc in the west to the Meuse in
the east, and thence southwark along
the whole Franco-German border,
while the lighter guns play on the in
fantry lying in the trenches awaiting
an opportunity to deliver attacks and
counter attacks, with, as the French
communication says, alternate retire
ment on certain points and advance on
others"
At the Battle Front, Sept. 24-The
German offensive was extremely vigor-
Gus today at the western end of the
long line stretching along the rivers
O1se, Aisne and Woevre. The allied
troops, whose gaps had been filled
freshly arrived reinforcements, not
only repeatedly thrust back the Ger
man attack, but eventually carried
out a successful counter attack which
resulted in the gaining of considerable
ground and the definite capture of
Peronne. about which town the fercest
engagement occurred.

German machine guns were counted

final rush and bayonet charge.

WASHINGTON, March 14-The
United States Government will resist
the efforts set on foot by representa-
tives of President Huerta to secure
the release of 1000 Mex can soldiers
held prisoners at Fort Bliss, Texas,
since their flight from Ojinaga across
the international border. The case is
likely to prove the greatest problem
that the Administration has had to
deal with in connection with the Mex
lean situation.
Three departments-Sta War and
Justice-are involved in the conflict
that viii develop as soon as court
writs are filed for the release of the
interned men. Efforts are being
made to-day 10 find some precedent
t. be followed, but officials of the
Department Of Justice admitted that
they knew of no similar case in the
history of this Government.
The court fight will be Waged by

an open def lnce of the United States,
he taking the ground that the Ameri-
