War Summary

The third day of the battle of
the Aisne finds the hosts of the
Germans and the allies facing
each other along a line from
Noyon, fifty-five miles northeast
of Paris, southeast to the Swiss
frontier.
The battle line proper extends
roughly from Noyon to Nancy,
about $50 miles. Here between
100000 and 100000 men are
engaged in struggle that in
ferocity and strategic Importance
bids fair to rival the battle of the
Marne.
Each side claims a slight ad-
vantage-and no more. II is
known only that the German re-
treat has been turned into stub
born resistance.
The allies assert that they we're
so close on tho heels of the Ger
mans that the latter we're com
PEELED to turn about and fight to
escape destruction. German re-
ports represent their armies as re
forming In strong positions fol-
lowing the withdrawal from the
vicinity of Paris and taking the
offensive.
Rain continues falling on the
battlefield and has rendered parts
of 1t impassable for guns and cav
airy. adding greatly to the dis
tress of the men.
Yesterdays official announce
ment at Paris says that great
battle continues all along the
river Aisne and that the Germans
are slowly giving way.
Conflicting reports of the situ-
alton in the eastern theater OF the
war are received from official
and unofficial sources. The sew
eral German army corps sent into
east Prussia appear to have
pushed back the Russian invad-
ers Of that territory with great
loss TO the Russians. 1t is
thought that a part of the German
force may be diverted to Russian
Poland.
In Galicia the Russian sue
cesses seem to be continued, with
the Austrians and Germans fall
ing back on Przemyzl. ---.-.-.
The latest official announce
ment at Nish claims less for the
Servian arms than have earlier
statements, indicating that Aus
trla still has considerable forces
available TO oppose the Servian
/. invasion.
The latest word from the far
east describes the japanese troops
as struggling through the floods
north of shang Tung peninsula
trying to reach Kiao-Chow. There
Is no1ndication OF an early invest
ment OF that German stronghold.
The Turkish army is reported
from Petrograd to be concen-
trating on the Bulgarian frontier.

Kitchener revealed the strength OF the
British expedltionary force in France and
described what he believed must be done
to assure successful issue OF the con-
flict A steady flow of reinforcements

There were already in France, he said,
more than six divisions of British troops

On the Subject OF recruiting Ear
Kitchener said:
"a country which prides itself on out

no difficulty in finding men capable of
making officers. The territorials are
making great strides in efficiency and be-
fore long will be able TO take their part
in the campaign Meanwhile reserve
units are being sent TO augment the ex-
peditionary force and their places are be-
ing filled by territorials.

HESITATE TO TELL OF LOSSES
Authorities of Both Armies Are RE-
ticent to Discuss the Terrible
Toll of the Fighting at
Marine and Aisne.

COPENHAGEN (via L,ondon). Sept. H.
General Won Hindenburg, who has been
directing the German forces in East
Prussia, has been urgently summoned
from East Prussia to take command of
a division in the western area. according
to a message received here from Stock
holm.
Occupy Ledge.
LONDON, Sept l7.-Along a niaety-mile
front the German armies are occupying
ledge across the river Aisne, which
was won after one of the most spectacular
and thrilling river crossings ever made
by an attacking force under fire.
For the last two days there have been
sporadic attacks from both sides along
this line but, according to admissions
from the rival headquarters. they have
not produced any definite results. Both
sides have suffered enormously during
the last week and the present pause un-
doubtedly is being used TO bring UP re-
inforcements and supplies.
Petrograd reports that the flower OF
the German corps. detached for service
in east Prussia, are again hurrying back
to the western front and Stockholm learns
that General Won Hindenberg, flushed
with victory against the Russians in the
east Prussian frontier, has been urgently
summoned to command the western army
Something of the horrors OF modern
warfare is indicated by the hesitancy
with which the authorities discussed
the terrible losses marking the progress
OF the armies from the Marine to the
Aisne. The stories are told with great
restraint, but with enough grewsome de-
tails to make even military men shudder
Austrians ReOrgnniEinE.
The terribly battered Austrian army Is
safe under the guns of Przemysl, but
with the Russians only ninteen miles
away Desperate efforts probably will
be made to form a Junction with the
fourth Austrian army with the idea Of
reorganizing with Cracow as the base
The Russians have crossed the river
San and are hammering at the retreat
ing Austro-German forces. Despite their
unprecedented losses the forces OF the
Germanic allies seem to retain their fight
ing organization and IL they gain Cracow
they may prevent the Russian right from
making a march on Berlin from Warsaw.
The Petrograd military critics express
the belief that the Germans, having
recognized the strategic unimportance OF
eastern Prussia, will take that place and
begin march on Warsaw. thus forestall-
ing a Russian offensive of Berlin from
that direction.

Berlin claims that the attacks OF the

German counter attacks have succeeded,
while II is asserted officially in London
that the German counter attacks have
been repulsed and that the invaders are

allowances for the deviation north to
Laon, the line must be $50 miles long, so
there is ample room for successes on one

The Germans are in their selected post

up from Lorraine. consequently this great
battle may yet prove one OF the most de-
cisive of the war.

Y.M.C.A. DIRECTORS
TO DISCUSS JAPANESE
ASSOCIATION PROBLEM

An important item of business to be
taken up at the meeting Thursday
noon of the board of directors of the
Honolulu Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation will be a consideration Of the
present work of the Japanese branch
Of the central association. Galen M.
Fisher, national secretary Of the Y. NJ.
C. A. of Japan, who visited Honolulu
recently, made a careful study of the
situation during his stay here and SUBJ
mitted a program Of future progress
toward it's growth. A committee Of
the local board, Of which R. A. Cooke
is chairman. will make recommends
lions upon the program at the meet
ing, which will be acted upon by the
board of directors.
One of the itetms on the program
calls for larger quarters and more
modern equipment for the Japanese
branch. The present equipment con-
sists Of but one large room where 1t
has been found impossible to handle
two or more groups at one time. The
addition of another well-equipped room
in the same building greatly would
enlarge the work, according to Mr..
Fishers recommendations. Another
