In Grave Danger.

Paris, Sept. 29.-After sixteen days
of continuous fighting the Battle of
the Aisne is tonight entering upon its
final phase. This is the opinion Of
every military critic. That the end
will bring a decisive victory for the
allies is generally conceded.
The brevity of all official commu-
nications during the past twelve hours
has aroused unusual Interest. The
omission of any mention of fighting
except between the Aisne and Ar
gonne gives the impression that most
important events are transpiring at
the other vital points and also that
new movements of strategic signifi-
canoe are under way.
While today's official statements
empha asized the fact that the general
situation was unchanged, they added
the vital information that at no point
had the German attacks, continued
now for three days, made any gain.
A failure to progress at this stage
is for the Kaiser equivalent to a re-
verse, for with fresh troops arriving
to add ctamina to the assault upon
the worn forces of General Alexander
Won Kiuck, each day sees & diminish
ing of that leaders chances of extri-
eating himself from the position re-
sulting from his ill-advised though
nearly successful drive to Paris.
The tactics of the opposing gen.
eral staffs, as shown by reports from
the front today, remain unchanged.
Frantic blows delivered by the Ger
man forces first at one point and then
at another on line from the River
Aisne to the Argonne forest to pierce
the French front and thus relieve the
harassed German right wing from its
peril, failed. The allies continued their
enveloping movement against Won
Klucks slowly dwindiliog force ana
while no pronounced successes are
Imperial Valley press., 1914-09-29

claimed, every indication is that per-
ceptible progress has resulted.
If the German right be turned, Won
Kluct1 must withdraw his immense
forces through Belgium or Luxem-
burg and because of the few avenues
Of escape available this will be a most
difficult and dangerous task.
For two weeks without cessation
the Germans have endeavored to end
the slow but deadly encircling move
ment of the French and British re-
volving about point between the
Somme and Disc rivers. The first at
tempt comprised an assault on the al
lies center between Rheims and Ar
gonne. This resulted disastrously at
Vitry-Le-Francois.
The enemy then turned eastward,
bringing up great bodies of troops to
besiege Verdun. They were again
stopped. The third endeavor took the
form of a counter attack by Won
Kluck, reinforced by troops from Lor-
raine. These were thrown forward in
a desperate attempt to dislodge the
French, who were pushing the Ger
mans back upon Noyon.

Hiding Movements.

(By II. ASnmeade Baftlett)
London, Sept. 29.-All movements
Of troops are being vigorously con-
cealed and no mention of them is al
lowed by the censor. The great ef-
fort on the part of the allies to drive
back the right wing of the Germans
continues with unabated fury.
The tide of war has moved as far
north as st. Quentin Steadily, foot
by foot, General Won Kluck's army is
being driven back. The center of in
terest has shifted from the allies cen.
ter, where both sides were too strong
ly entrenched to allow any great of
fensive movement, to the allies left
wing.
If the German right be turned, hs
must abandon his fortified positions
along the line of the Disc, the pla-
teu of Craonne and the Aisne and
withdraw his immense forces through
Belgium or Luxembourg by way of
the narrow Stenay pass, which is ar
extremely difficult task.
The enemy is already we'll beat and
he knows it. Apart from the Russian
advance on Berlin, which cannot much
longer be delayed, fresh corps, which
are so absolutely necessary to provide
great driving wedge to pierce some
vulnerable portion of the enemy's
line, can only be provided by Great
Britain.
The effect of the arrival of 100000
fresh troops at this critical juncture
would prove decisive.

1t was admitted today at the navy
department that the warships now in

Bryan and Garrison, were not dis

Bishop Schrembs of Toledo, who at
Baltimore yesterday indicated that Sec
1etary Bryan might do more to pro-
tect the Catholics in Mexico.
The position of the department Of

as they are citizens of Mexico the

FOR AUTOMOBILE
RACE THROUGH HERE

Lewis H. Falk in San Diego Union:
Arrangements completed yesterday as
sure the San Diego Exposition race
from San Diego to Phoenix.
The San Diego Union heads the sub
scription for the purse for this race
with 500.
In Phoenix C. H. Akers, owner of
the Arizona Gazette, who always has
been booster for San Diego as well
as Phoenix, is doing his utmost to
make satisfactory arrangements there
to cooperate with the San Diego
boosters for this race, and | am as
sured that the committee of ten mem
bers appointed by the Phoenix Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
and the Phoenix Board of Trade are
strenuously opposed to any route that
winds all over the state of Arizona
before reaching the capital city.
In San Diego, James E. Wadham,
well known as San Diego-to- -Phoe-
nix race enthusiast, yesterday wired
the contest board of the American Au-
tomobile Association, New York City,
as follows:
"San Diego and intermediate points,
having become dissatisfied with the
treatment accorded them by the W.
A. A. of Los Angeles, are desirous of
obtaining permit from the A. A. A.
to run race from San Diego to Phoe-
nix, Ariz., on November 9. Can such
permit be obtained, and, if so, will you
wire full instructions? Am informed
that certain representatives of w. A.
A. will do all they can to prevent this
permit"
Akers wires that indications are
strong that if the route by Needles
is insisted upon the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association and the
Board of Trade will raise good SUM
to assist the road race from San Die
60" The meeting at which the COM
mittoe was named to take up the prop
osition developed strong sentiment,
according to Akers, against changing
the route of the race north by way
of Needles.
Pending the appointment of a San
Diego committee to raise a purse of
$4,000, the San Diego Union steps in
to the breach with its offer of $100,
and N. f. Brown, cashier of the San
Diego Union Company, will accept
subscriptions to the road race fund,
to oe turned over to a committee
which probably will be appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce.
Several automobile dealers yester-
day requested me to make arrange
ments for pathflnding trip, which
will be started from San Diego with
in few days and will proceed to
Phoenix by the most practicable route.
It is probable the route will follow
closely the usually travelled course to
Imperial Valley and across Mammoth
Wash to Yuma or else direct from
Holtville east ward to Yuma.
One of the primary purposes of this
pathfnding trip will be to learn the
sentiment of the people along the
loute as regards the race from San
Diego.
We have the route and the San
Diego cars will finish in Phoenix
hours ahead of the leading car from
Los Angeles. There will not be
check at Yuma, as before, which per-
mitted the Los Angeles cars TO get
away first and finish in Phoenix first.
A checking station will, however. be
established at Yuma for the San Die
