Fresh troops, hitherto not in action. were brought up by the French to de- eide the battle further to the east.
 The vigor with which this engage ment was fought rivalled that of the clash against the German right. Here the German counter attack opened the fray and the impetus of the of finsive movement seemed to hold them closer to the attack. BayOnets plunged and struck and the two lines swayed back and forth in a titanic struggle until ther arrived the re-in- forcements to the support of the French lines These were immediately hurled into the front line and their energy turned the tide of the bayvie. The Germans were hurled back but the allies gains in ground was not considerable.
 Nowhere were the allies forced back. The "steel wall' held.
 Joffre Sees Victory.
 Although Minister of War Millerand today declared that the "battle of the two rivers"-Aisne and the Oise- probably would last for some days. the report he received from General Joffree, in supreme command or the allied forces, was very favorable. General Joffre's report says: "The turning movement of the alliess' left continues, General von Kluck's army is retiring and the iE- dications are that the German center has reached the high tide of it's re- sistance and also will soon be forced to retire to new position"
 The completion of the allies line opposite the German center from Alsace to Sle .Argonne effectively de- prives the German forces of any great scope. of movement.

LOSS OF LIFE
 NOT YET Kk9WN
Hogue and Greasy Destroy ed While They Are Stand ing By to Take Off the
 Crew of Aboulkir.

M L0ndon, Sept. 22-Three British crBisers, the sister ship Crossy, Ahpukir and Hogue, have been sunk the North sea by five German sub marines. While it is taken for gram sed that the resulting loss of life was < appalling no official figures of the Known dead and missing have been made public.
 XII This, the greatest disaster sustain ased by the British forces since. the be- Iss Issginning of the war, has driven Eng AHlang to a frenzy and all London is s1emanding that the British fleet at $ once seek out and crush the German navy.
 Two Submarines Sink
 Supplementing the eager news oi the disaster comes tonight the bulle- tin from Ijmuiden. Holland, that two of. the five deadly submarines were sent to the bottom by the British cruisers. This from survivors who were fetched to the Dutch port after the catastrophe.
 The steamer Flores arrived in Ijmuiden tonight with 1S7 of the sailors who survived the destruction of the British cruisers. The Flores carried one dead and several Wouna- ed sailors.
 Elsaster Early Yesterday.
 A dispatch from the Hook of Hol- land has it that the Dutch steamer Ticom has put in at that port bring ing with her twentysix wounded and some dead British sailors picked up in the North sea.
 The Ticom reported that the dis aster occurred at 7:30 this morning and that she was able to pick up 114 of the survivors, most of whom she transferred to British torpedo boats. This brilliant coup by the despised German fleet has awakened a cry TOT vengeance. From all accounts the submarines made a snake-like attack after daring trip across the North

During yesterday severe fighting h"d occurred along the entire battle line, which llas shortened to about 90 miles because of the rival armies drawing closer together for more massive compact.
 About o'clock in the afternoon a lull was pereceivable. The Ger mans being exhausted by repeated counter attacks directed against the French and British were invariably repulsed with gains to the allies.
 Allies storm Trenches.
 During the early part of the night the engagement had narrowed to ac- tivity of the heavy guns and the fire was desultory But at ? O'clock in the morning a preconcerted attack by tl allies opened with unprecedented fury. Artillery, rapid fire guns and small arms crashed forth as if at a given signal and the fire was over whelming.
 On the allies left the onslaught was conducted with greater vigor, for here the attacking French and British had made the greatest advances and the troops were buoyed up by the full enthusiasm of their trlumphs.
 The French gunners had the range and ragged the German trenches with galling fire. Under cover of this and the rapid firers which swept the top of the lines of trenches the British and French cavalry and infantry ad- vanced and stormed them.
 Prussians Surprised. The energy of the attack took the Germans by surprise, and after a fierce struggle at the trenches the Germans were driven back. The Ger man resistance was desperate. It was not until they were overwhelmed by numerically stronger forces that they were swept from their positions.

CONTINUE TODAY
 PLACING COTTON Buy : a Bale Campaigners Unable to Complete Work
 Yesterday. RESULTS ARE SPOTTED Some of the Loyal Southern Women Seemingly Entered HOtbeds of Patriotism. While Others
 Didn't.
RESULTS ARE SPOTTED

Pine Bluff bought some distress cot ton yesterday under the buy-a-bale plan and promised to buy more. The patriotic women who volunteered their service gratis in placing the appeal of the South were unable to present the invitation to buy-a-bale to all they believe are waiting to assist and will contineu their work today.
 None of .the ladies made reports last night as to the exact number Of bales placed, but several let it be known that they had obtained suffi- cient orders to relieve the distress of be in actual need. Others came into contact with many who had pur- chased cotton outside of the organiza- ticn, some at the 10-cent-a-pound price and some at the get-itas-low- as you-can figures. A few of the ladies were unfortunate enough to appeal to males devoid of the courtesy generally expected of Southern man and were rudely rebuffed. Naturally, these ladies, who were working sole- ly from patriotic motives, were dis couraged But only for time. Like pure-bred Southern women, they determined not to let tine discourtesy of the uncouth deter them in their philanthropic work and resumed their self-imposed duty.
 Pine Bluff Weak.
 There are two reasons that prompt the ladies to continue the campaign today: They received promises from number who are to give in the orders today, and they are not satls- fled with what Pine Bluff has done. They feel that this city, which is al- most entirely dependent on the cot ton industry, should do its full share in relieving the situation; that it's people should display as much con- sideration for the farmer and others dependent on a good market for cot ton as those of other cities of the South. To be frank, the ladies and the press are bit ashamed of Pine Bluffs lethargy in responding to the South's appeal. The press, especial ly, is afraid that the impression may be created abroad that Pine Bluff welcomes the predicament of the poor farmer and vulture-like preys upon him, taking the result of his years toll and giving as little as possible in exchange.

Oklahoma Fair Opens.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 22.-The state fair opened here today and will remain open until the 3rd of next month. Besides the usual exhibits of farm produce, the livestock entered for this 12 days showing has total value close to half a million dollars. For the first time in the history of the state the various Indian tribes and schools have been given an opportun- ity to present concrete examples of their progress, and this is probably one of the most interesting and in- structive exhibits.

Turner in seeking a change of venue in the case is construed as being a move to avoid litigation, and have the entire case heard on it's merits by the federal mediation board.

Little Rock, Sept. 22.-"The action of the senate in cutting down the riv- CTS and harbors bill appropriation to $20,00O,000 probably will defeat the project for building locks and dams along the Ouachita river" said Unit ed States Senator James P. Clarke this morning.
 "The striking out of the lump sum will cut down Arkansas part, but it is probable this state will get enough for the dredge work on the Arkansas river.
 "In addition to the $2O,00O,OOO ap- propriation left in the measure there is 100000 in the fund from former appropriations, so it still is a vast sum-"
