with the experience of other cities, a
system has been developed which uses
a large number of lights of moderate

ARMY SHOWING
SIGNS Of WEAR
WITH A TASTE OF VICTORY THE
ALLIES ALLOW THE ENEMY
NO REST.
GERMAN AMMUNITION SHORT
The Fighting Has Been of the Most
Desperate Character, the German
Staff Ordering a Series of Furious,
but FruitIess Charges en- French.

London, Sept. ia disr atch to
the Times from Bordeaux dAted on
Thursday, says.
Since Sunday, when the eaemy's
sweep southeast of Paris was check
ed on the 'ira%de MGr:ii. the &c ~,
war machine has been showing 81
OF wear and each fresh day of battle
has closed with the allies in a nor
favorable position,
sOn Sunday there was furious ligh.
ing along the Grande NORM, which
continued at La Ferte-Gaucher
throughout the night and on Monday
morning the enemy began a retreat
upon their next line along the Petit
Morih.
Here they We're allowed no rest,
for the allied forces were tasting the
rare joy of the offensive and wished
to taste it to the full.
"On Tuesday the German command
became apprehensive for the safety
OF its communications and saw. look
ing on its right flank, a possibility of
disaster.
North of I aris the French found
ample room for assembling a large
army and while the British were slip
ping from the northeast of Paris 10
the east with the Germans their p!aoe
OF glory was taken by strong French
forces, which moved up to thu river
Ourcq and became a very serious me-
mace to the enemy's retreating mo 1e-
ment. The Ourcq formed the upper
blade of pair of shears Of which.
as they were gradually closed, the
Grande Norm, the Petit NORM and
the river Marne formed the lower
blade.
Immediately the German staff
realized this situation and endeavor-
ed to extricate itself from between
the blades by a rapid retreat and by
series of furious but fruitless III
slaughts upon the French holding the
right bank of the Ourcq.
1ne ngntlng mere has been OF a pc
culiarly desperate character.
THE French, however, stand firm
along the Ourcq, while the British
have crossed the Marine and driven
the enemy distance of % miles.
From the center news is meag age~,
but the French are understood to be
progressing.
''The Germans apparently are tuf-
fering from lack of ammunition and
it would seem that their difficulties in
obtaining supplies from their Dase
have only begun. If all their pla rs
succeed, as they have done during
the last few days, the allies should he
well ON their way to victory"

GERMAN EMBASSY CLAIMS THAT
ARMY CAPTURED GUNS
AND PRISONERS.
AUsTRIANS TAKE OFFENSIVE
Vienna Reports Activity in Vicinity
OF lemberg, as Second Stage of a
Nne7Day Battle Against Russian
Army of 100000 Men.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE German

wireless from Berlin:
Headquarters on Thursday in its
nrst official report says that in q bat
tie east of Paris the Germans held
their own in heavy two-day fight
against superior forces attacking be-
tween Meaux, Montmirail and from
the direction of Paris We captured
30 guns and several thousand prison
ers, but retired the flank when the
advance of strong hostile columns
was reported. The enemy failed to
pursue.
'Headuarters also reports fighting
west of Verdun and on the eastern
scene Of war
The action of the French and
English in holding up neutral Holland
steamers, taking off American ana
other neutral mail, is causing rising
resentment in Holland.
Vienna reports that the Austrians
have resumed the offensive in the re.
gion of Lemberg This Is the sec
ohd stage of nHne-day battle in
which 100000 infantry, 1000 cavaI-
ry, l,500 machine guns and 1000 field

Germany are using dum-dum bullets.
"The vanguard Of the right wing
of the German troops advancing over
the Marne river eastward from Paris
were attacked by superior forces but
the attack was stopped, the German
vanguard being taken back, the che

BELL NOT OUT OF ORDER
But Was Cut Out by Direction Of
Fire Committee.

The impression seems to have been
made recently that the big fire bell
was cut of order bcause it was not
sounded at fires this week, but this
was not the case. The bell was dis
connected by Chief Harrison under in
structicns from the FIRE committee of
council. who desired the bell discon-
tinued for various reasons.
AS was stated in these columns
morning, the bell has again
bee1 connected and will sound the
alarms i'll future. Howevdr, there
has been considerable discussion in
the city over the matter, many claim
ing that the ringing of a fire bell is
out of date in all cities and that it
should he discontinued altogether,
while others are clinging to the be-
lief that the bell should be used, ad-
vancing various reasons for such be-
lief.

TRIED To AVERT
EUROPEAN WAR
PRESIDENT WILSON MADE DE-
TERMlNED EFFORT TO PRE-
VENT HOSTlLlTlES.

Washington, Sept lit became
known today that President Wilson
made determined effort to prevent
THE outbreak of the present Euro
pean war. This information, it is
claimed, has heretofore been kept a
close secret.
President Wilson sent a circular
note to all the powers, proposing that
a period OF 80 days be given for a
careful investigation. Great Britain,
Russia and France endorsed the pro
posal. Germany said the matter rest
ed in the hands of her ally, Austria
Austria replied with 12-hour ultima
tum to Servia.
The president has since made eff
forts to start peace movement in
Europe and lately there has been
some indication that his efforts have
attracted some attention, especially
in Germany.
1t is generally understood that the
peace movement started by fnanciers
Is being continued and everything
possible done to get the countries at
war to agree to a peace pact. This
fight for peace is apparently being Off
set by the determination of some of
the countries to ccntinne warfare un-
til their enemy is wiped out

May Cause Utter Decentralization of
Enemy's Tired Forces.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE popular feel
ing here over the result of the four
days fighting in the great battle of
Champagne is one of lively satisfac-
ton. The successes, it is admitted, do
not mean that the battle has been
won, but the gain of !40 miles on the
German left increases the jeopardy of
their line of communication and must
cause 1T is considered, demoraliza-
tion of the enemys tired forces.
AS yet there is no indication that
the German army ON the Lorraine
frontier will be able to get through to
help the main force, as last accounts
reported that Maubeuge was Nill
holding out, though several forts had
been placed hors du combat The fall
OF this place might have a great bear

Some critics say that even if Maui

come available for at least two DAYS.
and the battle may be decided before
it can be of any practical use, except
as way oEt in case of disaster.
The latter contingency is not run
ted on as much as it is hoped for by
Paris but the undoubted reverse
the German left wing has given the
people here immense courage.
1t is pointed out that in a forced
march the Germans would find the
fortified city of Rheims in their path
On the whole it is considered here
that if the invaders do not retrieve
their fortunes rapidly them will have
t, get out of France
The correspondent OF the London
Times says:
1t is now beyond doubt that the
German turning movement to the
southeast of Paris has been defeated
and there is a dawning hope that the
allies left, which has borne a rain
of the enemy's blows since the fight
ing at Mons began, is about to take
its revenge.
"The Germans have been fighting
desperately to guard their line Of
communication which is in consid-
cradle danger from the allies left.
They have been forced to retreat be-
fore the onslaught of the British and
the withdrawal of the German right
is bound to assist the French in fore
ing back the center unless the Ger
mans desire again to find themselves
obliged to follow the imperial chan.
cellor's advice and hack their way
through.
''The German check in front of the
MeauX and Verdun line has had its
echo throughout the field of opera
tions. On the extreme French right
the enemy's division bearing down
upon Nancy has been thrown back
behind the forest of Champenoux."
