good service to their cause by their
flights over the Japanese British posi-
tions, in which they have located the
main lines of the besiegers for the

Japanese fleet aviators, however, have

Further evidence of the serious
ness Of the present industrial situa-
ton was furnished this morning,
when the announcement was made by
officials Of the Harlan and Hollings-

tions the corporation employs 2.400
men, but today only 500 remain on the
payroll.
Reduction of the working force at

going on Tor the past few wekes, and
what the outcome win be no official Is
prepared to say. Officers Of the cor
poration are doing all in their power
to assist workers, but conditions have
become so serious that furloughing OF
employees was the only course left for
the corporation to follow. The same
situation is found in other large fac
tories and shops.

Paris Reports Some Successes
by The Allies on German Line

this week is entirely due to the aid
given by the naval guns which, it is
stated. are manned by their own gun
ners.
Although figures are naturally with
held il is learned here that during the
last few days, the army of General
D'Amadee, which commands the extreme
left of French position, has been rein
forced by nearly three army corps, so
that it has been possible to extend this
line very nearly to the Belgian border.
As a matter of fact, the French are in
touch with the Belgian forces who have
been operating irregularly in the west
Of Belgium and with the British base
at Ostend
The percentage Of do Men in the line
of prisoners continues to increase. There
Is now no doubt that members Of the
Landsturm are fighting shoulder IA
shoulder with the armies of the first
line. This is believed here to be due to
the forced withdrawal Of the activl
troops TO stop the Russian advance
from the east.

ADA AAAANA AAaas
PARIS. Oct. 2.-"We continue TO
press on the right and left" was the
laconic utterance Of military head
quarters here this morning. No de-
tails were given. II is known, how
ever. that the heavy reinforcements
rushed to the front yesterday are
making themselves felt, especially on
the left, where the task of breaking
the power of resistance of the COM
blned armies Of Generals Won Boehm
and Won Kluck is being pushed to the
utmost.
Il was learned today that the
French and British artillery now in
action has been augmented by big
naval guns of the type that proved
so effective with the British in South
Africa. These guns have been sent tc
the forces operating in the triangle
of the Oise and the Aisne and to those
north Of the Somme engaged in driv
ing the Germans from their strongl,
entrenched positions there. Other.
have been rushed TO the army operat
ing in the Woevre region. The com

artillery had the longer range an,

IN THEWAR ZONE,
What THEY MEAN
BY ]. W. 7. MASON,
Former European Manager of the United
Press.

EIeSS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-(ll a. m.)-The
extension of the western battle front
northward toward Belgium, is being
partly checked by lateral offers of re-
sistance by Won Kluck's and Won
Boehm's forces. AS the allies concen-
trate closer and closer to the north, tho
Germans are thrusting forward parts of
their north and south battle line until
they run east and west. These attempts
TO halt the northern pressure of the
enemy constitute a series Of blocking
operations.
By adopting this method, the Ger
mans are delaying the attainment of
what appears to be the new strategic
objective Of the allies; a powerful attack
upon Won Boehm's northwest corner of
the German battle square, near the Bel
gian boundary.
The arrival of a large force of Indian
troops at this time should have an i'm
portant bearing on the allies movement
against the German right front. If the
Indians began disembarking at Mar
seilles a week ago, they could all be
ready for active service now Twenty
five thousand troops day can be
moved in an emergency by a modern
railway system without creating con-
fusion. If the Indians total $4,000 as
has been suggested, it would be no inn
possible matter to have practically all
of them on the battle line at present
even after allowing for a brief rest to
recover from the cramping railway jour
ney of 600 miles.
Yesterdays official request in Great
Britain for 1000 railway men to 90 TO
France suggests, however. the French
lines of rail communication may not be
working smoothly. The sudden desire
for assistance in running the most inn
portant part of an army's mechanism is
disconcerting. If its meaning is that a
partial breakdown has occurred in the
working of the French railways, the ar
rival of the Indian infantry may be
largely delayed. 1t is curious that the
British government should issue a call
for railway men coincidently with the
necessity for rapid transportation of her
Indian troops.
The increasing fury of the attack
on Antwerp emphasizes the need for
releasing the German troops in Bel
gium. Whether Antwerp falls or
whether the allies finally drive the
Germans out of Belgium, before that
happens. eventually, the German de-
fense will be strengthened by the
troops now acting extensively against
the Belgians
This fact must be remembered in
estimating the power of the German
resistance, for it will play an import
ant part in the future. If the Ger
mans are driven back to the Rhine,
the Belgian army of occupation and
the one guarding communications will
go with them. This force largely out
numbers the Belgians who would be
released for field service, assuming
Belgium would march with the allies
into Germany. The consequences
would be that the German defensive
strength would automatically increase
as the German boundary was reached,
apart from the contributions from the
home reserves. Defeat for the Ger
mans along the Aisne and in BELGIUM,
If entailing only an orderly retreat,
will thus increase the Kaiser's power
Of resistance against an overwhelm-
ing defeat.
