an aeroplane victory. Field Marshal
Sir John french believes that the Ger
man defensive positions along the
Aisne were chosen while the offensive
operations Of the Germans were still
in progress.
Meagre kilograms which the censors
have allowed to filter through from the
French theatre of war indicate that
the Germans have been forced from
part of their strong positions along the
Aisne. The censors refuse to allow
correspondents to mention the name of
any town along the Oise and Aisne
where fighting is in progress unless
contained in official statements, but
the press dispatches point strongly to
the fact that General Won Kluk has
been pushed from some OF his strong

cells in an endeavor to get closer to the
experiences of suffering and horror to
which human beings were subjected as

and four sister ships used for the same
purpose were abolished.
When some one in the party commented
on the fact that the ship typified the
most horrible example of mans inhu-

clared. "I can show ysu things just as

1t is reported from the front that
the Belsans, during sortie from
Antwerp. occupied for time the viii
lage of Linden. near Louvain. In that
village is a castle belonging to Dutch
family named Van Blankenhagen. This
Dutch family out of goodness Of
heart, had turned the castle into a
temporary Red Cross hospital. Upon
the roof both Dutch and Red Cross
flags were floating. Inside 40 Belgian
soldiers were undergoing treatment.
The Belgians fired upon the village
and the castle was burned This is
attributed to the anger of the Bel
sians, who accused the Dutch Gov
ernment of allowing German troops
to cross Dutch territory.
\ mass meeting of leading financiers,
business men and others was held here,
when a resolution was unanimously
adopted providing the success of the

DOUBLE BATTLE DUE
AFTER ATSNE FIGHT,
STRATEGISTS SAY
Expect War to End With
Simultaneous Con flicts
Waged West of Rhine and
in East Prussia.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP s1MMs

PARIS, Sept. ~.
That the battle which will end the war
will be fought soon, probably before the
extreme cold weather sets in, is the opin-
ion of foreign military attaches here.
They believe that It must take place
probably Immediately after the battle
of the Aisne enters into its decisive
stages. And the majority of them look
for simultaneous conflicts, one In Bel
gium and west Of the Rhine, and the
other in the eastern theatre of activities,
probably in East Prussia.
French officers to whom l talked on my
trip from the front seemed to share the
same opinion. They declared that there
was such a decided contrast between the
spirits of the Germans and the Allies
that 1t became very noticeable. The
French soldiers are absolutely confident
of victory. In fact they are so con-
vinced they are the superlors of the Ger
mans that the chief difficulty of officers
is keeping their troops from recklessly
exposing themselves.
1 had an opportunity personally to OBJ
serve the spirit of the French soldier.
The thing that most impressed me was
his complete cheerfulness and his desire
to continue on the offensive night and
day. l was surprised to find regiments of
soldiers made UP from those who left the
French shops and factories-and who. ac-
cordng to the German military COM
ments, could not stand hardship-abso-
lutely dsregarding exposure. and in
every way healthy. Under a nasty cold
drizze, with their uniforms soaked and
the water dripping from the lips of their
noses, they would sing and jest with each
other.
The inspector general declared that on
the average there were fewer French
soldiers sick at present than during the
maneuvers or other strenuousless times
when war conditions do not prevail. De-
spite this the utmost endcavors are be-
ing made to provide the army with win
ter clothing. Henri CALI, the Paris
deputy. announced today that he is en-
deavoring to have the Government be-
gin the manufacture of warm clothing
and thus solve the problem of the I'M
employed
