NEW YORK. Sept. I9.--Ol a. ND
Partial exhaustion on both sides is
now having its effect on the fight
ing in France. The lull mentioned
in the French official report has
been approaching for several days.
By right of logic 1t ought to have
appeared first among the Germans
because of the terrific effort they
put forth to reach Paris. But war is
destructive of logic. and fatigue. ap-
parently. has overcome both antag-
onists at once, deadlocking the con-
test along the Aisne in certain sec
tions at least.
The benefit of the lull in these
places is with the Germans who are
now on the defensive along their en-
tire line. The slackening OF the al
lies attack gives them precious time
for strengthening their field fortIfi-
cations and overcOmcs the ADVANTAGE
the French offensive has possessed
through being nearer TO It's base of
supplies.
The gain reported by the left wing
of the allies is prOba bly, without sig
nificanc". General Won KluCk still
has the fortress OF La Fere and
I,aon in his rear in this area Of
operations. His line would naturally
give way somewhat before temporary
impetuOus pressure rather than risk
holding fast until too late and being
locked uD in the permanent fOrtifi-
cations.
Similarly. the slight advance of the
Germans in the center is probably
due solely to an unirnportant tremor
OF the undulatinE French battle line
AT this point the French have been
making their most desperate efforts
to break through the German front

These facts account for the slight

70day's War
Summary
By John EDWIN NEvIN

FRANCE-The battle of the
Aisne continues uninterruptedly,
the armies apparently being dead
locked in what is by far the blood
lest struggle of the war to date.
Estimates of the losses so far in
this battle vary between 10000
and 10000. The men are fighting
in trenches almost filled with
water and cold torrential rains
continue.
ENGLAND-It is officially ad
nitted that the British army in
France is being subjected to the
sternest test ever put to similar
force, because of the enormous
strength of the German new posi-
tions. 1t is stated, however, that
the left wing continues its advance
while the center is holding fast.
BELGIUM King Albert is again
at the front with his troops. 1t is
announced that the Germans have
completely destroyed the town of
Termonde.
RUSSIA-No official word has
been received from the fighting
now in progress all along the line
in Eastern Galicia, where the Aus
TRANS, heavily REINFORCED by the
Germans, are trying to hold the
Przemysl-Jaroslav line. 1t is un-
officially stated, however, that the
battle continues with the Russians
constantly advancing.
GERMANY-The war office an
nounces that the German center in
the battle of the Aisne continues
to advance slowly but surely. The
result of the battle as a whole, it
is stated, remains IT. doubt. In the
east the Germans successes against
the Russians continue.
AUSTRIA-Riots against the
new CONSUMPTION decree are report
ed from several points in Austria
Hungary.
