ALLIES ATTACKS ARE
LOSING IN STRENGTH
German Official Statement Says
TeutOn Offensive is
Gaining Force.

BERLIN. via Amsterdam, Sept. %.
Attacks by the allied French and
British forces on the German lines
are diminishing in strength, accord
ing to an official statement issued to-
day, but the German offensive is
growing stronger at all points. An
official statement issued at midnight
announced the capture of the heights
of Craonne and the town of Bethany
(near RheimS).
Today's statement praised the great
bravery shown by the troops of the
allies. Ii follows:
The enemy shows signs Of weaken
ing as a result of his continued at
tempts to capture our positions. on
the contrary, our troops, fighting
from we'll fortified positions, have Sc
cured a rest and are taking a strong
offensive. Their attacks are growing
stronger at all points.
Praise Allies Bravery
Great valOr has been shown by the
enemys troops. They have charged
repeatedly in an attempt TO silence
our artillery, but have been as re-
peatedly repulsed."
The statement issued at midnight
said:

onne have been captured Advancing
on Rheims, our troops occupied the
village of Bethany.

WASHINGTON, Sept p. - The
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. will
be given until tomorrow to accede to
the demands of the government on
their radio station at SiascOnsett. If
the Marconi officials do not notify the

in which the wireless company was
informed that the SiascOnsett station
would have TO operate under govern

WOULD LIFT BAN
ON BEER PARTIES
DURING CAMP PAIGN
City Atty. Seebirt Defends G. o.
P. Affair at Oliver Hotel by
Declaring Campaign Beers
Without Promises Legal.

That a beer party incident to a po-
litical campaign where the parties in
attendance are not drawn into a dis
tinct understanding to vote or not TO
vote for a particular candidate, party
or principle, is not a violation of the
corrupt practices act Of Indiana, was
asserted Tuesday by City Atty. Ell +.
Seebirt, defending the republican lun-
cheon at the Oliver hotel last Friday
night, served to draw out crowd to
hear Hugh TIL. Miller, Columbus, q.
Q. Z. candidate for United States
senator, and Andrew Jackson Hickey,
LapoIte, candidate for congressman.
The city attorney takes the position
in express terms, that had vote prom
ises been exacted as a condition prece-
dent 10 the receipt of whatever tick
cts were given away for the luncheon,
it would have been a violation Of the
law, but that without such exaction,
whether preceding an invitation to
luncheon, or to sup beer, no legal OF
fense has been committed.
Declines to COnstrue Statute
He declines to construe the statute
against the furnishing of meat drink,

person or persons, by any person,

primary election, or to influence his
vote in any other way therein. -
hence throwing down the bars to pro-
gressives and democrats, low as they

Bombardment of JaroSIaW and
PrzemySI Continues Accord
ing to Announcement of
Russian War Office.
SWAMPS RGTARDING
ADVANCE OF RUSSIANS

PETROGRAD, Sept. 22.-Five of
the % forts at Jaroslaw have been
shattered by the Russian guns. but IS
still hold out, 1t was stated at the war
office today. The bombardment of
Przemysl continues but no breaches
have yet been made in the walls OF the
forts.
At the request of the Austrian COM
mander at Przemysl, Gen. Won Colrad,
an armistice of five hours was declar-
ed late yesterday to permit of the de-
parture of the nOn-cOm batants who
wish to leave. Many decided TO re-
main.
The forts at Przemysl are among
the strongest in the world. IT is un-
derstood that the garrison has sup
plies sufficient to last two years.
Germans Join Austrians
While part OF the Russian forces
are investing Przemysl, and Jaroslaw,
the main parts of the first and second
armies continue their operations west
of the river San and south of the Wis
tula. The Austrians defeated at Dob
iecko have fallen back in disorder TO
Jaslow, on the Wistok river and the
Russians have occupied Rzeszow.
1t is understood that German rein
forcements are joining the Austrians
at Jaslow and the next great battle
may be fought between the San and
Wistok rivers in the foothills of the
Carpathians.
The combined German and Austrian
forces will be in a dangerous position
there, as II would be possible fer the
second Russian army TO flank them
by a sudden movement along the line
extending from RAINBOW to BaranOw.
Unless the allied troops give battle
to the Russians about JaslOw it will be
Impossible to prevent their escape to
Cracow, they having a number Of
railroads at their service.
Russian Advance Slow.
On account Of the many swamps in
Galicia west of the San it is expected
that the progress of the Russian
troops to proceed more than half as
fast as they have been doing.
1--WE shall not make the mistake
that the Germans made in France" he
said. "Our troops will keep in con-
tact with their lines of communication
and thus be we'll supplied with food
and ammunition"
Official announcement was made to-
day that Gen, RadkO Dimitrieff who
resigned his position as Bulgarian
minister to Russia to join the czar's s
army, has been awarded the military
order Of St. George for gallantry at
