Paris, Aug. 27.--With the fate OF
the nation admittedly hanging on the
result the allied lines along the north
ern and eastern frontiers are being
hard pressed by the entire German
active army All night fresh troops
were being brought up by the Ger.
mans, while General Joffre devoted
the time to Strengthening the weaker
points in his defensive columns.
When the great battle was resumed
at daybreak the German assault was
met with a determined defense and
the war Office chieftains profess con-
fidencc that the line as now establish
ed will hold.
The fighting front covers the boun.
daries of the departments of the Nord,
Ardennes, Montmedy and the Meuse
Around Maubeauge In the Nord, Givet
in the Ardennes, Montmedy in the
Meuse and west of Luneville the
heaviest fighting is believed to be
taking place.
South of Luneville, along the Lor-
raine border, another great battle Is
In progress. 1t Is to reinforce this
line, admittedly pressed to the limit,
that General Joffre withdrew his en-
ire Alsatian army, abandoning Mul-
ausen, Altkirch and the other points
taken at so heavy a cost and sent Ii
with his veteran commander, General
Paul Pau, TO fill up the gaps in the
line and to prevent a break through
the French lines north and south of
Epinal
English Troops at Givet.
In the north the German armies
are being driven hard against the in
trenched position near Givet, where
the British expeditionary troops are
amassed
Several attempts to carry the In
trenchments there by storm have beer
made and the heaviest fighting of the
war is reported by the war office
chieftains to continue In this neigh
borhood
The German army In action here is
reported to be commanded by the
crown prince I'm person.
The slaughter at the front is de-
scribed by the general staff as enor-
nous.
The Germans constantly charged
the allies line In the face of terrific
fire from artillery mounted behind
the trenches and severe rifle fire from
the trenches themselves.
While details are withheld it is stat
ed that at points where the French
have followed up the repulse OF the
Germans by forward movement they
have found their way blocked by
heaps of bodies piled breast high.
Great slaughter of the Germans is
admitted everywhere.
The allies losses also have been
exceedingly heavy.

Germans Use Wonderful System to Learn Plans of the Enemies-Fighting Given Day by Day

London. September 2S.-t9.05 p. m.) Tho official press bureau issued to- night a descriptive account of the oper- atiens In France of the British force nnd the French armies in immediate touch with it, communicated by an eye witness present at the headquarters of Field Marshall Sir John French. This account. which supplements that is- sued September A from general head quarters, follows:
 September 25. 1914. For four days there las been comparative lull all along our front This has been accompanied by a spell of fine weather. though the nights are much colder.
 Advantage has been taken of the ar rival of endorsements to relieve by fresh troops the men who have been on the firing line for sometime. Several 4units therefore. have received their baptism of fire during the week.
 Since the last letter left general head quarters evidence has been received which Ioints to the fact that during counter attacks on the night of Sunday, the 20th, the German infantry fired into each other as the result of an attempt to carry out the dangerous expedient of a converging advance in the dark.
 Two Days Covered
 This narrative begins with September 21 and covers only two days On Mon day the Fist there was little rain and the weather took a turn for the bet fer which has been maintained The ac- tion was practically confined to the ar tillery.
 Accommodating parties sent out dur ing the night of the Fist and 22d, dis covered some deserted trenches and in them, or near them in the woods, more than 100 dead and wounded were picked up. Rifles ammunition and equipment also were found. There were other signs

 MILITARY AIRCRAFT

Washington, September 2s-Sensational use of aircraft in the great European War added interest today to steps ordered by the war department to an order to carry out the provisions of the act last July to increase the efficiency of the aviation service of the army. A general order invites unmarried lieutenants in the line of the army under 30 years old to ap- ply for details of this extra hazardous service, which will enttle them to a 90 Der cent increase in salary. Other orders looking to tie immediate enlargement of the aviation corps and the requirement of additional aeroplanes are expected soon.

 The spot thus honored was not far from the ridge where some of the most severe fighting in which we have taken part has occurred All over this no mans land between the lines, the bodies of German infantry are still lying in heaps where they have fallen at different times.
 Espionage Important
 ..Espionage plays so large part in the conduct of the war by the Germans that it is difficult to avoid further ref erence to the subject. They evidently never have forgotten the saying of Frederick the Great: When Marshal Soubise goes to war, he is followed by hundred cooks; when I take the field I am preceded by hundred spies
 Indeed, until about 20 years ago. there was a paragraph in their field service regulations directing that the service of protection in the field'-e. g., outposts and advance guards-al- ways should be supplemented by sys- tenn of espionage.
 Though such instructions are no longer made public, the Germans as is we'll known, still carry them into ef- feet. Apart from the more elaborate preparations made in peace times, of obtaining information. some methods are employed for conveying of intel ligence are are follows:
 "Men in plain clothes signal to men in the German lines from inside the enemys line by means of colored lights at night and smoke from chim- neys in the day time.
 German officers and soldiers in rlain clothes, or in French or British uniforms have remained in localities evacuated by the Germans, in order to furnish them with intelligence.
 'One spy Of this kind was found by our troops hidden in a church tower. His presence was discovered only through the cratic movements of the hands Of the church clock, which he was using to signal to his friends by means of an improvised semsphore code. Had this man not been seized 1t is probable he would have signaled to the German artil- lery at the time of their arrival the eX- act location of the headquarters and staff A high explosive shell would then have mysteriously dropped on the building.

Oregon, City, Ore, Aug. 13.-The
only plant for the manufacture of eel
oil and dried eel meat is now running
at full capacity here and consuming
about half a ton of eels a day. The
average daily product of the plant is
fifteen gallons of oil, used in the manu-
facture of leather goods, and 240
pounds of dried eel meat, used as
chicken feed.
The process has been worked out
by Edward Reimers and James P.
Kelly, and the plant is operated under
their direction. Fishermen gather
the eels from the pools in the rocks
around the falls with dip-nets.
The eels are taken to the plant on
the banks of the river and placed in
a vat and cooked. After the eels have
been cooked for a short time the oil
rises to the surface and is drained off
into a barrel. The solid matter is
pressed and then ground, more oil
being derived. From the grinders the
