j. s. ASKS ENGLAND TO
EXPLAIN GARDEN INCIDENT

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s-The
United States government has sent a
formal note to Great Britain inquiring
IL the recent interview attributed to
Sir Lional Garden. British minister
to Mexico. criticizng President Will
son for Withdrawing American forces
from Vera Cruz was accurate in any
part.
An indication OF the displeasure OF
the American government over the in
cident is understood to have been
conveyed in the note. Dust what Is
expected TO be the outcome OF the
representations was not explained by
high officials tonight but II would oc-
casion no surprise here II a complete
reputation OF whatever views Sir
Lionel may have expressed would be
issued by the British foreign office.
II is also considered possible among
diplomatists that Sir Lionel may not
be accredited to Brazil. his new post,
because OF the incident.
The American government has had
occasion more than once to intimate
to the British foreign once that Sir
Lionel Garden was thwarting the Mex
lean policy OF the American govern
ment He was practically forced to
leave Mexico by General Carranza, the
diplomatic Intervention OF the United
States alone preventing the Constitu-
tionalist chief from abruptly handing
passports TO the British envoy.

Germans Reeede.
II Is impossible to learn from
any one portion Of the line what is
occurring at other places, but an
inclination to recede slightly
seemed evident on the German
side, although they offered the
most obstinate resistance and
fought as though made Of iron.
The allies at the same time dog
pedly pursued the small advantage
they gained and kept al the heels
Of their reluctantly retiring foe.
At a point where the bulk Of
the British troops formed part OF
the allies line the fighting was
furious yesterday and today, and
some OF the most famous Eng
lish, Scottish and Irish regiments,
including the Guards and High
landers, suffered severely. They
performed the task set for them
unflinehingIy, advancing and oc-
eupying some Of the advanced
German positions, but at terrible
cost.

None OF the dIpIomatIsts ex.

among those representing the al
lied powers the feeling prevailed
that President Wilson would not
ask the American ambassador
abroad to continue the eonversa-
tlon until terms Of peace were
voluntarily proposed by any Of the
bellleerents.
The informal exchanges thus far
conducted by the American am
bassadors at Berlin, London and
Paris have brought forth almost
Identical statements, each side
charging the other with responsl-
blllty for starting the war, each
declaring that II had been attack

AFTER FIVE DAYS OF
SEVERE FIGHTING THE
SITUATION Is UNCHANGED

LONDON, Sept. is, s:f5 p. m.
FOR five days the British and
French armies have been trying
to disIodse the Germans from the
strong line Of defenses which they
have constructed on the battle
front stretching from the olse to
the Meuse rivers. There have
been attacks and counter attacks,
but, In the words OF the offeiaI
communication, ''there has been no
change In the situation"
The allies claim to have made
slight progress at some points
against the German right wino,
north Of the River Aisne, and TO
have repulsed counter attacks
there and between craonne and
Rheims, while they say in the CEN
ter and on the right the Germans
are acting purely on the defen.
sive, having dug themselves into
entertainments.
The German official reports are
almost Identical with those Of the
allies. They say no decision has
yet been reached. but that the
allies power Of resistance 10 weak
ening, that a French attempt TO
break their right has failed, that

Reached Selected Positions.
The Germans, having reached
selected positions which they have
strongly fortified, would appear TO
have the advantage, according TO
military critics, but for the fact
that they must defend the whole
OF their front to make good their
retirement should an attack by
them fail, or a smashing blow
from the allies break their line,
while the Anelo-French forces are
declared to be free to mass at any
point General Joffre may select az
most suitable for attack.

their number, displaying resolu-
ton which approached despera-
ton. A Vigorous counter attack
from the allies ensued, during
which a small extent OF around
was gained.
Calm Along Front.
Last night was relatively calm
along the front, but today the
fighting became more furious
than ever. During the darkness
operations are rendered difficult
owing to the reluctance Of the
opposing commanders to use
searehllshts which might ex-
pose their position.
After this stage OF the fight

peared 10 retire about seven

NO PEACE PROPOSALS

WASHINGTON, Sept 1s-oreat
Britain has received no proposal
for peace. either direct or Indl-
rect, from Germany or Austria,
and therefore has nothing TO say
on the subject.
This was the substance Of a
message received late tonlaht by
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador here, from Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British foreign
secretary. The ambassador had
Inquired early today whether any
proposal Of peace was before his
government In view Of the persls-

peace proposals were being ex-

Progress Slow.

LONDON. Sept. 1s. 1:20 a. m.-The
Paris correspondent or the Reuter-
Telegram company says the consensus
of opinion in the French capital Is
that the battle OF the Aisne Is the
most important since the beginning OF
the war. The dispatch continues:
The information communicated by
the general stan Is considered salts
factory as showing the allies frontal
attack Is developing under favorabl
conditions. and that the enemys
counter attacks are being repulsed. II
must be realized. however. that the
allies gains are necessarily very slow.
owing 10 the enormous strength OF the
German fortified positions.
1T seems probable final success
will be ahieved by threatening the
German communications rather than
by carrying their positions by a front
attack. Meanwhile we must not
imagine that the enemy's communica-
tions are so precarious as is general
ly supposed. So long as the Germans
hold Ternier and Laon they have at
their disposal TO replenish their sup
plies and munitions. not only two
