SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION
Their Results, as an Expert
Understands Them.

The German line holds fast to its
intrenchments, following the Aisne
river from ten miles west of Scissors
to the mouth of the Suippe and then
curving southwark to Montfaucon,
northwest of Verdun. All along the
lines the allies are making assaults,
but it cannot be made out from the
reports whether they r pushed home
with the idea of breaking down the
German resistance or whether they
are made merely to hold the Germans
in position while the turning move
ment to the west is taking form.
Now is the time when the arrival
of a new British army might turn the
tide of battle for the allies. The 1885,

separate bodies, one southeast of Sois.
sons and one near the Disc river.
With 100000 regulars, 315, 900 terri.
torials and 300, 600 volunteers to draw
on, Great Britain must by now be

wal which he preached in his recent
proclamation.
Replying to Emperor Williams
cablegram charging that the French
are using dumdum bullets and defend
ing the destruction Of Louvain, the
president explained that true Ameri-
can neutrality precludes an express
sion of opinion on the acts of the bel
ligerents by either himself or the PEG
pie of the United States.
Mr.. Wilson replied in practically
Identical language to the representa-.
tons by the commission Of Belgian
officials that atrocities were commit.
ted by the German army during the
march through their country.
Germans Claim Maubeuge.
Berlin has officially announced that
the fall of Maubeuge took place on
September 9, with 400 guns and 10000
prisoners.

soon double the present strength
given in the reports.
AS far is can be determined from
h situation the allies are making
two principal efforts to force the Ger
man right wing out of it's position.
One of these is a frontal attack down
the valley of the Aire river in the
effort to break through between the
armies of Gand Duke Albrecht of Wur.
temberg and Crown Prince Frederick
William. Owing to the obstacle Of
the Argonne hills the connection be.
tween these two armies may be weak
ened, giving the allies a chance to
break through. A move of this kind
is the only one hat would have hopes
Of producing decisive results.
The reports about the operations In
East Prussia have been suppressed to
such an extent that it is not possible
to outline events definitely. The Der.
lin dispatches claim that their advance
has reached Grodno; the Petrograd
dispatches state that the Russians
have fallen back to the line of their
border forts. For once the dispatches
agree, but they indicate a retreat OF
lao miles by the Russians. With thei1
line pierced on the south and with the
army opposite Koenigsberg threatened
from the flank, it is probable that this
force has been able to hold it's ad-
vanced position. While no reports
confirm it, it seems probable that the
Germans have driven the Russians en-.
tirely out of East Prussia, except for
a small strip north of the Memel river
The success of the Russians on the
San river bids fair to force the Aus.
trians to fall back from this position,
This does not mean that the way lies
open for the Russians to advance
against Silesia in Germany. The Aus.
TRANS have their second line of re
serves that must be Just arriving a,

successful issue Of the conflict. A
steady flow of re-enforcements was re-
CURED, he said.
There were already in France, the
secretary Of war said. rather more
than six divisions of British troops
and two divisions of cavalry, which
were being maintained at their full
strength.
Further regular divisions and addi-
tional cavalry we're being organized
from units drawn from over seas gar
risons, which were now being occupied
by ~territorials and volunteers. A d.
vision of territorials already had left
for Egypt, a brigade had gone to
Malta, and a garrison force to Gibral-
tar.
Prussians Claim Victory.
Austrian and German armies aggre-
eating 1000, 900 men have been over
whelmingfy defeated by Russians in
the final assaults of a 17-day battle
in Poland and Galicia. Besides infict-
ing enormous casualties on their com
bined enemies the Russians trapped,
surrounded and captured 10000 pfis-
oners, including about eight hundred
officers.
At the same time the Russians are
reported to have driven back the Ger
mans in East Prussia with great
loss.
Emperor William, though hurrying
re-enforcements to his lines in East
Prussia, is said to have notified AUS
tria that he could send no more help
to its forces. In fact, his position in
France is regarded so perilous that
he is declared to be withdrawing
troops from East Prussia to REINFORCE
his armies operating against the
French and British.
Germans Retreat Before Allies.
Every message from the line of bat.
tie in France, coming by way of Lon.
Gcn on September 16, showed that the
armies of the allies were pursuing
the ~retreating Germans with great
vigor and giving them no opportunity
to reform for an attack.

wounds had not sufficiently healed and
after their discharge the wounds would
