tBy Associated Pross.)
Paris, Sept. 1e.-The latest official
reports announce a lull In the titanic
artillery duel at AIsne. This Is taken
to indicate that todays fighting may
consist Of a tremendous infantry ad-
vance such as made the Marne battle.
field scene Of indeseribable carnage.
Berlin dispatches are more conf
dent today, asserting the allies nave
"shot their bolt" and are weakening.
The Germans now admit they were
short Of ammunition, but claim this
has been remedlsd and they fll their
ranks with fresh troops as fast as the
allies NOW them down, while the al.
lies haven't enough men titus far to
replenlsh their gaps.
One cause Of the slaekening OF
artillery may be on account Of the
downpour Of rain beginning last night,
probably filling many German trenches
with water, greatly diminishing their
advantage.
The Daily Mails Paris man says the
French artillery hasn't yet mastered
the German trenches, which hide
heavy guns deep in the woods and
mask infantry on edges Of forests.
The French charges, he says, some
times drive into the heart Of the
woods before being spent The Ger.
man counter attacks are mostly at
night.
The Times man at Epernay de-
seribes four days fighting for posses
sion Of an old chateau on top Of
ridge, six miles east Of sezanne. The
Germans first captured II. French
cannon then preached the walls, the
French charged, fighting hand to hand
on lawns and gardens in the breaches,
reespturing the place. The Germans
again drove out the French, who on
the fourth day won the ridge by de-
stroying the chateau artillery.
The French Tureos are natural
night fighters, who frequently throw
away their guns In close quarters,
using daesers with terrible skill.
Unofficial accounts estimate the al
lies losses at fifty thousand and the
Germans at one hundred thousand.
