The method of preparing estimates of
cost in connection with building con-
struction in Australia differs radically
from that which is used in the United
States. In Australia the practice of
architects is to have the lists of quanti-
ties involved prepared by what are there
known as quantity surveyors" These

PARIS. Sept. Is (i:85 D. n

PARIS. Sept. is q:35 y. m)
After raging for nearly six full days
the battle of Aisne has reached its cul-
minating point. 1t is to be decided by
the artillery duel that continues with a
Germans and the allies, devastating
both banks OF the peaceful river.
The allies have no intention OF sacrlic-
ing vast numbers of soldiers by sending
them against the strong German posi-
tions. 1t was decided at conference be-
tween General French, General Joffre and
Minister OF War Mllerand that the issue
is to be decided by the artillery. They
have no doubt as to the outcome.
Our artillery already has determined
its superiority" said high Govern
ment official this afternoon after return
ing from General Joffres headquarters.
''The Germans cannot withstand it much
longer. Their inferority in marksman-
ship has been demonstrated.
"At the first sign of a sharp break on
their right wing our cavalry will be upon
them. The infantry will follow They
are in such a position that they must
win to escape "a debacle. Our position
is such that they cannot win.
LAS the German right now lies its po-
sition is extremely strong but 1t cannot
resist the continuous artillery fire for
ever. 1t Is position bounded by the
towns of Noys, Sossons, Laon and La
Fere. This we have learned through the
daring of our aviators
"On the natural redoubt formed by the
heights the Germans have brought
their contingcnts of devastating heavy
artillery. Their lines of communication
are intact.
THE French position is equally strong
ana our ilne guns are now pouring a
hail OF shrapnel OH the enemy from the
southern heights Of the Aisnc. If tho
allies win the Germans will certainly he
driven from French territory altogether"

LONDON, sept. is.

Advices from the fighting front in
France indicate that the German lines
are holding under severe pressure from
the allies.
The German centre, especially the
army of the Crown Prince, has been
heavily reinforced by troops from Lux
emburg and all efforts of the French
to break its resistance have so far
failed. 1t is stated that an artillery
duel is in progress at many points
along the line.
Against superior numbers and fresh
er troops, the Germans today repulsed
attacks at several points.
The attack of the allies is being
pushed vigorously on both right and
left wing and at the centre. Reports Of
slight gains have been received more
than once from different points, but
nowhere has the German resistance
weakened enough to permit the allies
to cut off any part of the long Ger
man front from touch with the rest
OF the line.
The six German armies have main
tained close contact over the whole
battle front.

BRITISH ADMIT GERMANS
HAVE REPULSED ATTACKS

On the German right, General Won
Kluk, who has affected juncture of
his army with that of General Won Buc-
low, has been compelled to dispatch
his right wing in n distended line to
prevent the success Of the circling
movement by the Anglo-French troops
which threatens to envelop the German
right and attack it from the rear.
Dispatches from Berlin through neu-
tral countries, which take into account
the fighting up to and including yestcr-
day, make the claim that the French
resistance is weakening and that ef-
forts Of the Anglo-French troops to
break through the German right have
failed.
Admission by the Germans of the
general retirement from the stand of
12 days ago is made, however, as the
official statements from Berlin no long
er refer to the action in the region
of the Marne." but to the battle be-
tween the Disc and the Meuse."
The evacuation Of Altkrch and
Thanh indicates that the German left
Is beginning to yield before the crush
ng pressure.

making a supreme effort TO annihiato the
Russian armies Of General Rennenkampf
His troops have succeeded in driving a
good part OF the Russian force into
marshy lands from which they have been
unable to eXtriCate themselves.
II is plain that it is the intention Of the
Germans to invade Russian Poland. and
the activity in East Prussia now is for
the purpose of so crushing Rennenkampfs
armies that there will be no danger OF a
Russian attack on the German flank when
the Germans move against Warsaw.
