PRuSSIAN Army RETURNING

London, Sept. 17.-Along a ninety
mile front the German armies are at
bay and the allies are occupying a
ledge across the river, Aisne, which
was won after one Of the most spec
tacular and thrilling river crossings
ever made by an attacking force un-
der fire.
For the past two days there have
been sporadic attacks from both sides
along this line, but according to ad-
missions, from the rival headquarters,
they have not produced any definite
results Both sides have suffered
enormously during the past week and
the pause undoubtedly is being used
to bring up reinforcements and sup
plies.

Something of the horror of mod

the progress of the armies from the
Marne to the Aisne. The stories are
told with great restraint but with
enough grewsonne details to make
even military men shudder.

The terribly battered second Aus

BATTLE OF
A|SNE IS
NOW ON
REAR GUARD ACTION DE-
VELOPs INTO CRUCIAL
CONFLICT.
crown PRINCE IN DANGER
All Rumors That Kaiser Will En-
tertain Peace Ovcrtures
Denied.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE rear guard &C
llon, which was supposed at first to be
intended as a check to pursuit and to
facilitate the retreat Of the mass OF
the armies of Generals Won Kluck
and Won Buelow, has developed into
what will probably be called in his
tory the battle of Aisne. Whether
the Germans found it necessary or
advisable to turn and engage in a
general action this great battle wages
fiercely and rivals in Importance the
battle Of the Marne.
French Have Not FIinched.
The war office says that the French
have not flinched at any point. This
sounds as If they were on the de-
fensive and this might be so, in view
of the strength of the position the
Germans occupy. The official COM
munication Sunday said that the
French and English had crossed the
Aisne. If so, they have the river at
their backs, while the Germans are
strongly intrenched on the heights of
Laon and Rheims with their right
protected by the Disc and the Aisne
at Norton.
In Pursuit of Crown Prince.
The undetermined element in this
fight is the allies right, which is in
pursuit of the crown princes army.
All reports indicate that the latter is
quite as demoralized as was Won
kluck's army and is suffering equally
from lack of provisions and ammuni-
ton. While Won Kluck has, no doubt,
received what he needs in this re-
spect, it is doubtful if the crown
prince has.
The issue of the battle may depend
upon what condition the crown prince
reaches the front and whether he can
make stand and prevent the allies
from turning the German left.
Some of the military experts still
think that the Germans hope by this
action only to check the onrush Of
the allies and that they will take up
the defensive on the Namur line.

current yesterday that Emperor Will

Law IS TOPIC
President McVey, Of State U.
Speaks Before State Bar Assn.
on Important Subject.

President F. L. McVey, of the U. N.
D., was one of the speakers at the
meeting of the State Bar association
in Grand Forks, choosing for his top
ic, "The Three Revolutions.
He designated the three revolu-
tions as, first, the change from the
domestic to the factory system OF
production, accompanied by the break
from European domination; second,
the readjustment of sections to each
other, as seen in the Civil war; and
third, the domination of government
over industry, and the evolution OF,
the relation between the federal gov
ernment and the state.
The first, said the speaker, might
be designated as the revolution of the
industries, the second as that Of in
dustrial organization, and the third
as the revolution Of law. President,
McVey took up the changes and
forces which inevitably brought about
the first two revolutions, and then
spoke briefly of the complex civiliza-
tion of the present day, in the United
States, with its many problems, social
and Industrial.
The nation, he said, believed for a
time that in law lay all the remedy
necessary for existing evils, but it
has been found that law is often
warped to serve selfish ends. Great
dangers confront the American peo-
pie, said the speaker, and in the pres
ervation Of the proper relation be-
tween the state and federal govern
ments, and in the preservation OF
true democracy, lies the problem Of
today.

Wilson declared he ordered the Am

Cruz because he believed the Mexi-
cans now in control are able to man
age the affairs of the country Coin
cidentally, British Ambassador Sir
Spring Rice expressed to the state de-
partment his regret that Sir Lionel
Garden, British minister to Mexico,
should have been quoted in criticism
of the presidents policy. He said
their diplomats were never permitted
to criticize heads of foreign countries
and whatever statement was made,
1t did not represent the view of the
British government.

Petrograd, Sept. 17-Peasants
in southwestern Russia, especial
Iy in kiev province, have noticed
that all birds Of prey, including
crows and small eagles, have left
their usual haunts, attracted by
the battle fields. Consequently,
field mice and other enemies Of

Birds Of prey seem to be the only
