London, Sept. I3th-A Paris official bulle-
tin says: "No communication was received
this evening from the army, but it is natural
that headquarters would not send details
OF the pursuit twice daily. All we know is
that the forward march of the Allies con-
tinues along the whole front and that CON
tact with the enemy is maintained On our
left we.have crossed the Aisnc. An unofficial
despatch from Paris says the nearest German
force is one hundred miles from that city,
and that it IS hurlying away.
A Berlin official statement says: "The
army east Of Paris, which had advanced
across the Marne, was attacked 10y a super
Tor force proceeding from Paris between
Meaux and Montmjrall. The battle lasted
two days, resulting IN heavy losses on both
sides. The French troops advanced and our

in the Yosges is unchanged. The forts

CAN MAINTAIN WAR FOR YEAR
German Financial Resources Strong
Conflict Costs Her 5000, 900 Day.

Berlin, via London, Sept. 3O.-The
response of the German public to the
efforts Of the government to raise a
war fund of $1,250,0OOOOO has, it is
asserted here, removed all anxiety
the nation may have had regarding
its ability to meet financial obliga-
lions due to the war
According to military authorities
the war is costing Germany about
100000 day, inclusive of the
money spent on behalf of those who
have been deprived of their bread
winners. The means of the govern
ment at the beginning Of the war, not
counting the permanent war treasure,
but including the reserve funds of the
Reichsbank, amounted to about $685.
100000, which, in the meantime, how
ever, has been considerably increased
through the issue Of notes.
The amount which the government
could borrow from the Reichsbank is
unknown at the present time, but it is
estimated at about $750,O0O,OO0, MAX
ing total of about $2,000,00O,0 At
the rate of 100000 a day, this sum
would permit Germany to carry on the
war for over year.

One of the most furious German as
saults turned upon the trenches occu-
pied by British regiments, which calm
ly awaited the onslaughts of line after
line of Germans, meeting them with
sustained rifle and machine gun fire
and sometimes at the point of the bay
onet, which did great execution.
Turcos Lead in Fighting.
The British, however, did not by
any means bear the whole brunt of the
fighting, for the French troops, includ-
ing division of the famous colonial
infantry and the Turcos, as well as
many batallions of French regulars
and others composed of territorial
troops, also faced successfully pro-
longed attacks, which were delivered
with great fierceness.

London, Sept. 30.-For forty-eight
hours the armies of the Germans and
the allies have been hammering away
at each other at close quarters along
the River Aisne, as the climax of the
battle of the four rivers, which has
been in progress for over fortnight.
Thus far the struggle has not
brought decisive results to either side
Both, however, claim encouraging if
slight gains. Field Marshal Sir John
French, commander of the British ex-
peditionary force, spent his sixty-sec-
ond birthday in maintaining what his
latest communication to the war office
describes as "a satisfactory situation"
Hardest Fighting on Left,
The Germans have met assault with
commensurate, q1til the trenches of
the opposing armies are only sprinting
distance apart. There has been much
work with the steel in hand to hand
conflicts, but except at a single point,
where they forced a passage across
the Mouse, the Germans have found it
impossible to break through the hui
man barrier stretching across France.
In the terrific struggle of the last
forty-eight hours the hardest fighting
has been, as it was at the battle of the
Marine, between the German right and
allies left.
Prussian Guard Loss Heavy.
According to disptches from the
front received by way of Bordeaux, the
Prussian guard has been cut to pieces
during the fighting of the last three
days.
The strength of some companies has
been reduced from $50 to 100 men. Vir-
tually all the original officers of the
guard have bene killed or wounded,
and two battalions have been annihil-
ated.
Lines Are Close Together.
Paris. Sept. 30.-French and British
on the left wing have repulsed for days
the attacks of the Germans, who have
been endeavoring to take the allied DO
sitions by assault.
Word from the front describes the
encounters. On one occasion the
French and British held positions with
in q quarter of mile from the Ger
man front, where they were not in dan
ger from the heavy German artillery
and were sheltered from the machine
guns unless they came into the open.

modern history, nor has Germany al
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 disregarded 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
as Germany did last month.

Sanity has overtaken the advo-
Gates OF better rural highways. In the
old days the good road advocate
dreamed OF nothing less than macad-

brick-paved paths and concrete coun-
try lanes. All the rural world rolled
smoothly by over traff1c ways that
would cost anywhere from $1,000 to
$4,000 per mile. That was before
the farmer had really entered into the
movement and before the small town
merchant. the rural banker, and the
county seat cities had begun to think
about good roads In terms OF dollars
and cents. Twenty years OF agitation
has brought us face to face with the
fact that the taxpayer does not want

Government Studies Show How the
Agricultural Output OF Country
Depends Upon its Highways.

That an improved road will increase
vastly the productiveness OF the area
through which II runs has now been
satisfactorily demonstrated by stud
les conducted by the United States
department OF agricultural In Vir-
ginia. Conditions In Spotsylvania
county were investigated with par
ticular care and the results have
proved surprising. In 1909, the coun-
~ voted 100000 to improve 40 miles
OF road. Two years after the COM
pletlon Of this work the railroad took
away In IL months from Fredericks-
burg, the county seat, 1000 tons OF
agricultural and forest products hauled
over the highways OF that town
Before the Improvement Of the
roads this total was only $4,000 tons
annually; in other words. the quantity
OF the county's produce had risen
more than As per cent Still more in
teresting. however, II the increase
shown In the quantity OF the dairy
products In 1909 these amounted to
114,S15 pounds. In 1911 to 273,02s
pounds, an increase Of practically 140
per cent In two years. In the same
time shipments OF wheat had increased
SO per cent. tobacco 81 per cent, and
lumber and other forest products IS
per cent.
In addition to this increase In guam
tity the cost OF hauling each ton of
produce was materially reduced. In
other words, the farmers not only pro
duced more. but produces more cheap
ly, for the cost OF transportation to
market is OF course an important fac
tor In the cost OF production. From
this point OF view. II is estimated that
the 100000 spent In improving the
road In Spotsylvania county saved the
farmers of that county Sal 900 year.
