At the battle front, Sept "a, via
Paris.-Not momenet's respite is Civ
en- to the German forces entrenched
along the 90-mile front running along
the rivers Aisne and Disc and extend
ing into the Woevre district. The bat
teries of the allied forces never cease
firing entirely, although their activity
diminishes somewhat at times.
A United Attack.
The Germans occupying the trench
es are constantly on the alert. The
allies have just made an aggressive
move, all their batteries seeming to
open fire together and every point
along the front being very active.
Infantry Charge German Position.
At the western end of the line the
allied infantry gathered in the trench
es and simultaneously at various
points crept out and advanced eau
tiously in wide open lines towards the
German positions.
The French and British on several
occasions succeeded in surprising and
driving back the occupants of the Ger
man trenches, but only after the most
stubborn fighting and after heavy loss
es both to the attacking and to the de-
Tending forces. In every instance the
allied troops retained the ground cap
tured and Immediately dug themselves
in.
Rest for Those at Front.
Further east the Germans them
selves developed a strong attack, but
were beaten back with the bayonet
only to return again and again to be
finally driven off to their original posi-
tons. The allied commanders were
able to give the troops who had been
occupying the advanced firing line a
welcome rest, pushing to the front
fresh brigades of batteries hitherto
held in reserve and which were only
too anxious to come into actual con-
tact.
Military experts estimate that near
ly 100000 or more men are now in
the zone where the battle has been in
progress ten days.
Declares German Right Turned.
London.-The Daily Nails CORE
spoTdent reports that the German
right has been turned between Per-
onne and st. Quentin. He says that
since Sunday night wounded have
been arriving at an unnamed place.
They report there are nine miles of
dead in trenches between those two
towns.
Russians Follow Up Successes.
London, Sept. 24.-The Russians
followed up their successes in Galicia,
, where third great battle is about to
begin, if it has not already started, by
capturing the important fortress of
Jaroslau, on the river San just north
of Przemysl, which they are surround
ing, according to Petrograd dispatches
received here.
Significance of Capture.
JarOslau commands the passage of
the San river and it's possession will
greatly assist the Russians in their
operations against Przemysl, where a
strong Austro-German force is prepar-
ed to offer stubborn resistance in the
hope of at least OBTAINING the Russian
armies which are needed to take the
offensive against Germany.
The Servians report another victory
| over the Austrians, who thus far have
| suffered severely on all sides.
Austrian Invasion Fails.
This engagement occurred near
| Kroupani on the Drina, where the Aus
| TRANS attempted to invade Servia, but
were driven back. This attack ac-
counts for the Servian evacuation of
Semlin, as the troops were needed to
stem the Austrian offensive movement.
| There is a rumor, too, that Essad
Pasha, the former Albanian minister
Of war, as a result of an agreement
with the Servian government, will
lead an Albanian army into Herzego-
vina by way of Cattaro.
| m Sarajevo Taken.
The Rome correspondent of the Star
says the Servian and Montenegrin
troops have occupied Sarajevo, which
was abandoned by the Austrians after
an overwhelming defeat.
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia. 1t
is a fortified town of some $4,000 in
habitants. 1t manufactures copper,
brass and iron ware and cotton goods
| and tobacco. 1t was here that Arch.
duke Francis Ferdinand, heir arpar-
ent to the Austrian throne, and his
wife were assassinated shortly before
| Austria declared war on Servia.
