GREATEST BATTLE IN HISTORY FROM
 RHEIMS ID VERDUN
Three Quarters of Million Men Participating in Big Engagement, Says a
 Berlin Report

London, September 4.-12.1O D. mD Teiesraphins from Copenhagen, the correspondent of the Central News says that Berlin papers, which have been re- ceived there. describe the battle which wns proceeding Wednesday from Rheims to Verdun. saying 1t was the greatest battle In history. Three-quar- ters of million men were declared to he particle atine in the engagement.
 The ccnsors have permitted so little to come through that the exact significance of the dispatch or its accuracy cannot be determined here. The continued absence of pessimism in the French official state ments today give rise to good feeling in London, and 1t is believed that the situa- ton of the allies is nothing like so un- favorable as the scattering news that
 leaks through would seem to indicate.
 The French official statement today an nounced that the German advance lad been checked at verdun, which might or might not conflict directly with the Ger man claims as to the great battle extend- ing from Rheims to Verdun.
 If the Berlin statement proves accurate that three-auarters of a million troops were lighting in that region Wednesday in the greatest battle of history"-it would explain much or what has been happening in the western field
 To bring the troops in that region to anything like the number of 10000, enor- nous French forces must have been con- centrated at the French left wing, where the Germans, having already made bril- liant dashes, are ready for Paris siege. Along the Rheims-V Verdun line victory Is claimed in an early message from Ber- lin. It was said to be a victory of tho army of the crown prince, who is report ed to have had the assistance of Elm peror William. who was present.
