jects under way The modified demo-
cratic bill proposed $53,0O0.OOO.

e. ues, already failing because of the
European war. must be supplemented
by war tax. Increases to salaries to
officials will be abandoned

tinuous session. Shortly after midnight

the bill back to committee and began
the first of his allotted two speeches on

Burton had occupied the floor more

During the long walt to get senators
to the chamber Senator Ramsdel pro-
posed that the sergeant-at-arm be
directed to request the attendance of all
senators now out of the city as earlier
orders had applied only to those in
Washington. The order was agreed to.

turned from their homes.

a brief rest and Senator Luke Lea, of
Tennessee. took up the task as presid-
ing officer.

FIGHTING FURIOUS.
Battle in Progress More Violent Than

Battle in Progress More Violent Than
That Fought on the Marne.
Paris, Sept 19.-The Germans are
strongly entrenching on the river Aisne,
with reinforcements from Lorraine, ac
cording to official announcement made
in Paris this afternoon.
Fragments Of news from the front
confirm the serious character Of the
combat on the Aisne. Some of those
wounded on Thursday who have ar
rived here declare that the fighting was
even more violent than on the Marne
and say the losses on both sides must
be heavier. The English, as on the
Marne, are bearing the brunt Of the
counter attacks and are conducting
themselves brilliantly.
After q four days constant hammer
ing the German artillery slackened Its
fire last evening during heavy down
pour Of rain which lasted all night. The
trench must have been nearly flied
with water. diminishing greatly the ad-
vantage Of the defense work prepared
by tho Germans and at the same time
adding to the suffering Of the wounded.
The official statements given out in
Paris this afternoon says the French
have advanced on the right bank of
the Disc; that the Germans are bring
ing reinforcements from Lorraine; tnat
the enemy is holding firm on the CEN
ter and that the army of the German
crown prince continues to retreat. The
statement follows:
First, on our left wing. on the right
bank of the river Disc. in the direction
Of Noyon. we have advanced. We hold
all the heights OF the right bank Of
the Aisne opposite an enemy who
seems to be reinforcing himself by
bringing troops from Lorraine.
Second, on the center the Ger
mans have not moved from their
trenches. On our right the army of
the German crown prince continues to
retreat.
Summing up, the two opposing
armies, strongly entrenched, are de-
ivering attacks along the entire front
without II being possible to record ai.y
dS results Tor one side or the
tether.'
