ways been the violator.
In 1905 Napoleon Bonaparte, anxious
to hurl his legions against Austria,
marched them over a strip of the
Prussian dependency Of Anspach
against Prussian protest, much as the
Germans OF today disfegarded the Bel
gian protest against the violation of
their territory. So the outraged Prus-
slams armed and went'to war to avenge
the insult, although Napoleon pleaded
the ground OF military necessity, Just
Germany did last month.

by their own bombs owing to a fall.

TDuring the battle Of the Aisne this

contain both sides OF the story Of the
combat. This newspaper has been un.
able to receive any cables, other than

Oct. This was the nineteenth day
OF continued hard fighting along the
3150-mile front from the Somme to the
Moselle, and yet there is no. definite
indication that the battle Is nearing
n finish. 353 !S - T.
There are. however, evidences that
the Germans are -:eceding before a
forcible and sustained pressure from
the allied armies, especially on their
western and eastern wings, while the
center, where the Germans are more
strongly intrenched than at any other
point with heavy artillery, remains
almost stationary. y
It is generally concluded by French
military men that some important
move must soon be made by the Ger.
mans, who have found it impossible
to stem the advance Of the allies,
though they offered the, sternest and
most desperate resistance. sacrificing

The German wings appear to be
