nication which is of particular impor-
tance to the enemy.
"On Saturday, the 10Th, the lombard
ment was resumed by the Germans at
an early hour and continued intermit-
tently under reply from our own guns.
Some of their infantry advanced from
cover apparently with the intention of
attacking but on coming under fire they
retired.
another hostile aeroplane was
brought down by MS, and one of our
aviators succeeded in dropping several
bombs over the German line, one incen-
diary bomb falling with considerable ef-
feet on a transport park near Lafere.
A buried store of the enemy's munitions
of war was also found, not far from the
Aisne, 10 wagonloads of live shells and
two wagons of cable being dug up.
Traces were discovered of large guam
titles of stores having been burned-all
tending to show that as far back as
the Aisne the German retirement was
hurried.
"There was strong wind during the
day accompanied by driving rain.
"On Sunday, the goth, nothing of inn
portance occurred until the afternoon.
when there was a break in the clouds
and an interval of feeble sunshine, which
was hardly powerful enough TO warm the
soaking troops. The Germans took adj
vantage of this brief spell of fine wealth
er to make several counter attacks
against different points. These were oil

the casualties incurred by us were BY
no means light.
'In one section Of our firing line the
occupants of the trenches were under the
impression that they heard a military
band in the enemy's lines just before
the attack developed. II is now known
that the German infantry started their
advance with bands playing.
"The offensive against one or two
points was renewed at dusk with no
greater success. The brunt Of the resist
ance has naturally fallen upon the in
fantry. In spite OF the fact that they
have been drenched to the skin for some
DAYS and their trenches have been deep
in mud and water and in spite OF the
incessant night alarms and the almost
continuous bombardment to which they
have been subjected. they have on every
occasion been ready for the enemy's in
fautry when the latter attempted 10 as

with great loss. Indeed, the sight Of
the pickel-haubcn coming mp has been
positive relief after long trying hours
of inaction under she'll fire.

artillery the Germans employ is 20 beat

FRENCH ARE FEELING
THEY ARE VICTORIOUS
Is the Way French Commander Phrased
the Situation on the Aisne, as Re-
peated in British Official
Report.

London, Sept 25.-The official press
bureau last night issued report from
Field Marshal Sir John French's head
quarters supplementing the dispatch of
Sept. % on the British operations in
France. The text follows;
"The enemy is still maintaining him
self along the whole front and in order
TO do so is throwing into the fight de-
tachments composed of units from very
different formations, the active army,
reserve and Landwehr. as is shown by
the uniforms of the prisoners recently
captured.
sOur progress, although slow on ac-
count of the strength of the defensive
positions against which we are press
ing. has in certain directions been con-
tinuous, but the present battle may well
last for some DAYS more before a de-
cision is reached, since it now approx
mates somewhat to siege warfare.
"The Germans are making use OF
searchlights. This fact, coupled with
their great strength in heavy artillery,
leads to the supposition that they are
employing material which may have been
roIiected for the siege Of Paris.
"The nature Of the general situation
after the operations of the 18th, 10Th
and 2Oth. cannot better be summarized
than as expressed recently by a neigh
boring French commander to his corps:
Having repulsed repeated and violent
counter attacks made by the enemy, we
have a feeling that We have been VIC
torious'
$50 far a. the British are concerned
the course Of events during these three
davs can be described in a few words.
During Friday, the 18th, artillery fire
was kept up internationally by both
sides during daylight. At night the Ger
mans counter attacked certain portions
of our line. supporting the advance of
their infantry, as always, BY a heavy
bombardment But the strokes were noF
delivered with great vigor and ceased

WILSON SQUELCHES
SECOND TERN MOVE
Has Secretary Tumulty Wire New Jer-
sey Democrats Not to Endorse Him
for President.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 25.-At the
direction of President Wilson, Secretary
Tumulty to-day wired New Jersey Dem
ocrats, declining TO have them endorse
the president for second term.
Secretary Tumulty's letter, addressed
to Edward Z. Grosscup OF New Jersey,
state treasurer, said: "The president
deeply appreciates the generosity IN the
suggestion of New Jersey Democrats TO
endorse him, but New Jersey is his home
state and the men who would act in this
matter are his personal friends. He feels
it might seem as if he were taking adj
vantage OF the extraordinary situation
now existing TO gain personal advan'
tage. This is inconsistent with his whole
thought and spirit, and he shrinks from
it as something that might embarass,
rather than help him."

MANY FINE SHOWS
BOOKED FOR SEASON
THEATRICAL BUSINESS PROMISES
TO BE NORMAL AGAIN
THIS YEAR.
RUTH ST. DENIS TO OPEN
SEASON EARLY IN OCTOBER
Preliminary Season Begins Next Sum
day, With Theresa L. Martin Com
pany in Weeks Observation-Disclosures
Number Of Attractions on Road This
Season-Cheap Pictures Waning.

With the return Of Messrs. W. l.. ano
A. j. Busby, from New York City
where the owners of the Odeon have
been most of the summer arranging
their bookings for the Busby string OF
theaters, announcement IS made that
the theatrical business promises to be
back to normal this season, with many
high-class attractions on the road.
The Messrs. Busby have booked a
great many new plays for their houses
in addition to many attractions that
have been played before. The regu-
lar season will open early in October,
with Ruth ST. Denis, The famous
danseuse, and her company. The pre-
lin1inary season will begin next Sun
day Aug. 16. when the Theresa l..
Martin Company will open week S
engagement.
Many Companies Going Out.
The last two seasons have been bad
for the theatrical business, not from a
standpoint Of patronage but from the
fact that the plays were not to be Sc
cured.
For the first time in the history Of
the Odeon last season no list of book
ings was given out, from the fact that.
aitho bookings had been made, there
was positively no assurance that a
great many of the companies would
ever leave New York. The business
was all shot to pieces" in all parts
of the country. and producing man
ayers who had had from ten to twenty
companies on the road in PAST seasons,
were content to have one or two. This
season the Indications in New York.
according to A. j. Busby. are that there
will be the usual number of companies
on the road as We're seen prior to two
seasons ago, with the exception that
there will not be as many cheaper com
panies, playing at low prices.
Cheap Pictures Waning.
Mr.. Busby says that the cheaper
class OF moving picture shows, which
we're considered one of the leading fac
tors for the slump in the theatrical
business, are going out of business and
the cheap 5 and 10-cent houses in the
cities are being replaced by the better
class moving picture theaters that play
at % and so cents. Mr. Busby says
that in Nv York. where from. thirty to
forty cheap houses have closed on a
single street. it is predicted that the
day of the sensational and cheap COM
edy moving picture film is past. Peo-
pie are demanding the better class of
pictures, and are willing to pay more
money to see them.
Several Stars Booked
Several stars have been booked for
the coming season. They include Ray
mand Hitchcock probably in The
Beauty Doctor; Victor Morley, in My
Best Girl: Corinne, in Forty FIVE
Minutes From Broadway: Rock and
Fulton, in The Candy Shop; McIn-
tyre and Heath In The Ham Tree;
Edith Thayer in THE Fire Fly: and
John W. Ransome in revival of The
