ON BATTLE FRONT (va Paris) Sept 18 - A gigantic batt, properly battles, continue day and night along the entire front from Noyon to the iron tier. The fighting does not consist of sustained combined movement but in reality several cOmbats pro ceedng necessarily at the strongest points of the Ger mans defending line along the River Aisne
 Last night relatively calm, but today the fight ing became more furious than During the dark ness, operations were rendered difficult owing to the reluctance of the opposing commanders to their Searchlights which might expose their position.
 Each encounter was influenced by the execution of the general idea of the commanderinchef of the allied armies Attacks and counter attacks follow one an- other in rapid succession every hour of the twentyfOur During the night of September 1516 the Germans at but met by the French and British with courage Germans returned to the attack fewer than ten mes but unable to break through the firm line present. ed by the allies infantry.
 The fight just before daybreak the most violent of all The Germans appeared to throw into the charge all that remained of their energy, but rolled back with enormous losses. Before retiring behind their big guns they sacrificed many of their number, displaying a resolution which approached desperation vigorous counter attack from the allies ensued during which a small extent of ground gained.
 Early today the Germans appeared to retire about seven miles, During the combat the adversaries in instances to hand cashes and the ltayonet extensively used. The carnage terrifving but the troops of both armies appear to have been hardened to such scenes and fought with great cooness.

Arizona republican., 1914-09-19

All the allies aviators apparently discovered today was the placements of some big German guns notwith- standing the cleverness with which they are hidden beneath an earthen covering strewn with branches of trees. The artillery opened a con- centrated fire on a certain portion of the line and the heavy German artillery shortly afterward lapsed into silence at that spot, although it is not known whether they were rendered impotent or merely effect ing a change of position owing to their former emplacement having be- come untenable.
 It is impossible to learn from any one portion of the line what is oc- curing at other places, but the in- clination to recede slightly is evil dent on the German side although they offered most obstinate resist ance, and fought as though made of iron. The allies at the same time Goggedly pursued the small advant- age they had gained and kept at the heels of their reluctantly retiring foe Behind the fighting line along Acy- Puiscux road still lie many of the dead who fell in the fighting of

Early this morning the Cunard liner Lusitania, which ar rived last night, landed 1,502 passen- gers.

WATER USAGE
 100000 ACRE
 FEET LIGHTER
Economical Methods Nindi- cated by Years Success Are Being Accepted by 25,000 More Farmers - Prospects Are Bright

Greater economy of water is being vindicated in the Salt River valley, ac- cording to an interesting interview, given The Republican yesterday by President John P Orme of the water users. MT. Orme says:
 We are rapidly catching up with last years water supply. With over 25,0O0 acres more in cultivation, econ omical methods have so far reduced the amount of reservoir store used in 1914 that by October 1, we will have as much water as we had just year ago. And on that date the usual half acre foot an acre will be appropriated"
 The figures are interesting in them selves:
 Difference in water supply between 1913 and 1914, showing less rapid drop this season:
 July 31, 126,O00 acre feet. August 31, 5000 acre feet. September IS, 27,000 acre feet.
 
 much more rapidly last year than this, and with less acres to irrigate. So by | October l, there will be no difference in the dams storage to speak of. And that does not tell the tale, ! continued MT. Orme "Conditions are better in the valley than they have ever been. Due to the decreased use of water, summer grass and noXious weeds are almost unknown Alfalfa is looking especially clean this summer. It is a vindication of the economical method. Roads have ceased to be over flow ditches in many parts of the county. Fence corners that used to be rank with Johnson grass and other pests are now clean and bare. Fields certainly look greener under he new system
 Tt is a fact that during 1914 farm CTS in the Salt River valley have used 100000 less acre feet of water. than in 1913. This represents drop in the in come from water service of exactly $50000
 50. if we have not as much water now as we had year ago, we are cer- tainly catching up
 The official edict has gone forth that there will be plenty of water for all fal irrigations. Service will continue or the present economical basis, partl! because it is necessary, but mainly be cause the farmers, having tried it out demand it, and will not have it other wise Irrigators who one thought the. could not possibly do with less thal the formerly prescribed acre feet nov stand keenly in favor of the smalle |. units, and find they are getting sur prisingly better results.

This WAS the substance of a message re- ceived late tonight by Sir Cecil spring Rice. the British ambassador. The am bassador had inquired early in the day whether any proposal for peace was before his government in view Of the persistent rumors from Berlin that neace proposals are being exchanged
 Coincident with the receipt of this information from Great Britain, 1t was learned authoritatively that the presi- dert has not pursued either with Great Britain, France or Russia the informal suggestion of the imperial German chancellor that it is up to the United States to obtain a statement of peace terms from the allies"
