LONDON
Official Statement by British Staff Officer of Great Battle of River Aisne Indicates No Victory As Yet for Either Side
Ry Associated Presg.l


 London, Sept. 18.-As far as the pub lie 1nows, great artillery fire along the line of the river Aisne continues to be a draw. The phase of the thun- der of the huge guns, the infantry and cavalry units scattered along the line of battle are being flung into the fray without appreciable effect on it's outcome.
 An official statement, written by a staff officer who has been on the scene of operations and is authorized by the British war office. gives details of the action closing with the crossing Of the Aisne, but only the most meagre com munications have been issued concern ing the lighting of the last two days.
 Roughly speaking, the line of the advanc9 of the allies is threaded by six rivers, four of which already have been crossed. The crossing of the Marne, marking the assumption of the aggressive by the allies, was purely a rear guard action in which General Von KIuck cleVerly kept the German right from being outhanked. So far as the British were concerned, the pas sage of the Ourcq was not contested. The Vesle river was only lightly de- fended by the Germans while, as is now well known, the resistance of the Germans at the Aisne was and still is
 
 both the French and British fronts.
 If the allies hold the ground across the Aisne which they gained despite the heavy artillery fire from concealed German batteries on the heights above the river, two more rivers, the Ailette and the Odse, remain to be crossed. The country between the Adsne and the Ailette is ideal for the defensive purposes and if the German army holds the Aisne heights for few days defensive works can be con- stracted along the other two rivers which may delay the allies. advance on German territory for a long time.
 On the other hand, If the GernaIas resume the offensive the country now occupied by them affords an excellent operating base
 It is clear from reports coming in from the allies that the victory in the battle of the Marne and the assump- ton Of the offensive had a, tremendous moral effect on the Franco-BFitfsh ar mics Berlin acknowledges that while General yon Eindenberg'G brilliant and daring movement across the bor- der laRe was successful in driving back General Rennenkampfs forces. the Russians were not completely out fianked and the previous east PruEsian victory, against the Russians was not auplica4ed. as the Russian general re- tired in good order, saving his artil- lery
