PARIS, October 5.-When the long
drawn-out battle in the north was re-
surned today there was a feeling in
many quarters that decisive develop
ments were imminent. Consequently,
this afternoons statement of the war
office on the battle of the Aisne, unique
in the history of battles, was awaited
with the greatest interest
While the French realize that the
battle has not yet been won, it does
not seem to many of them that it can
now be lost. If the allies win no doubt
is felt that they will pay for it, the
sacrifice on both sides already being
great. The tone of the official COM
munications has furnished the best
reasons for the hope on the part of the
French, although the announcement
of the visit of President Poincare to
the front was an additional factor for
the confidence and optimism felt in
regard to the intense struggle. His
action is generally commented on as
indicating that success is at hand
Says Battle May Continue.
Despite the hope of the French the
military critic, Lieut.. Col. Rousset, de-
clares that the battle still can last for
some time, pointing out that modern
encounters last now as long as certain
campaigns formerly did. In 1859 the
situation was settled in two months,
while in 1870 it took thirteen weeks
the fighting after Sedan and Metz
being merely contest for honor
In the furious fighting now gong on,
Lieut.. Col. RouSset says. neither adVer-
sary can claim what Napoleon called the
result.
With the shifting of the battle scenes
the railroads are resuming traffic through
a number of cities which had been oc-
cupied by the Germans From Epernay
the news comes that the Germans re-
spected the vines of Epernay in the i'm
portant champagne district.
Col. Du Patty de Clam, celebrity of
the Dreyfus case, is among the wounded
in Paris.
German Trenches Taken.
The official announcement issued by the
French war office last night reports
progress in the region Of soissons. where
several OF the German trenches have been
taken.
The battle on the left wing was de-
clared to be in full swing, without any
decisive result having been attained.
The text of the communication fol-
lows:
Il. On our left wing the struggle is in
any decision having as yet been reached.
The action has been less violent between
the uppr valley OF the Ancre and the
Somme and between the Somine and the
Disc. We have made progress in the
region of scissors, where some of the
enen1y's trenches have been captured.
az. On almost all the remainder of the
front the lull, already noted, persists. In
the Woevre region we have made some
progress between Apremont and the
Meuse and on the Rupt de Mad
Scenes on Battle Front.
dispatch from the battle front,
dated yesterday, said:
after the determined attacks and
counter-attacks of the past few days,
there has been more or less calm along
the western front since yesterday aft
ernoon, except on the most extreme
wing near Arras, where the fighting
has continued necessarily.

MARBLE FOR BUILDING
Commission to Select Material for
Structure in Memory of Women of
Civil War Postpones Action.

Secretary Garrison and other mem
bers of the commission appointed by
Congress to supervise the erection of
a building in memory of the women of
the civil war today made an unsuc-
cessful effort to determine what par
ticular kind of marble shall be used
in the construction of the building.
Fifteen of the leading contractors of
the country,including several in this
city, have submitted bids for the work,
the prices varying according to the
character of the stone to be used.
The sum of 100000 was provided for
the memorial. OF that amount $370,000
was paid for the site-the square
bounded by 18th and 18th and d and
E streets-leaving s4so.ooO available
for the construction of the building.
All of the bids submitted are within
that amount. The award of the con-
tract depends on the particular kind of
marble deemed best adapted to the
memorial in the judgment of the COM
mission. Vermont, Georgia and other
well known white marble and pink
Tennessee and other cofored marble
are embraced in the competition.
