GAIN SEVEN MILES
ON WEST W|NGOF
GERMAN ARMY
Fresh Troops Have Given Allies
the Advantage
TURCOS RECAP lure 4 GUNS
Frequent Bayonet Charges Have Re-
suited In Heavy Losses
for Both Armies

On The Battle Front. Sept. 81, by
way of Paris, 5.36 p. m.-The west
ern wing of the German line has been
thrust back about seven miles during
the last forty-eight hours as sequel
to continuous fighting night and day.
Both armies, despite almost super
human fatigues, show the utmost de-
termination not to yield an inch OF
ground without terrible struggle,
but the fresher troops at the disposal
of the allied commanders have gradu-
ally forced the Germans to recede.
The Turcos are adding daily to
their record Of daring achievements.
Late last night in a costly bayonet en-
counter they broke through the Ger
man lines without firing more than a
few shots and recaptured and brought
back four field guns which the
French troops had abandoned the
previous day. They seemed to dis
dain the murderous rife and machine
gun fire pored into them, refusing to
keep them under cover.
Cold steel again played consider
able part today in the battle of the
enormous hosts fighting along the
Aisne, the Disc and Woevre. The
most remarkable point about the en-
counters is that the troops scarcely
see each other before they actually
come hand to hand.
The recklessness displayed at the
beginning of the hostilities, with the
resultant carnage through the ma
chine guns, has almost disappeared,
and every movement OF the attacking
and defending troops is carried out
with the utmost caution until the mo-
ment of actual contact.
The.Germans have suffered most in
these engagements. for the French
troops from Africa and the British in
fantry are adopts with the bayonet
and they wait warily in the trenches
until their adyersaries are so close
that a quick dash brings them togeth-
e;.
General Joffre. who is in robust
health holds in his hands every phase
OF the battle. Behind the firing line
the commander of the Allies confers
daily with the generals In charge OF
tho various allied forces. He has Gre
ated a feeling of the greatest cheer
fulness and confidence among the of.
ficers and men by his absolute indif-
florence to political and other influ-
ence and by his desire to share the
same sacrifices.
The country behind the French
army is being rapidly repopulated.
Herds of cattle and sheep mingle with
supply trains along the roads leading
to the north. They are being driven
by peasants, women. old men and
boys. homeward.

Generally seReant Enough Along Without Them In Pine
RECITAL AT ACADEMY HALL
For the Benefit OF ST. Francis de
Sales Church

Cards in the store windows an
nounces Recital to be given in
Academy hall Wednesday, Sept. 80,
for the benefit of st. Francis de
Sales church. The same recital will
be given next Friday at Shrine
theatre in Rutland.
The Rutland Herald of yesterday
has this to say about the young lad
les who are to give the entertain
ment.
Charlotte Moloney, who has al
ready begun her fourth year of study
in New York with the master teach
er, Musin. and his assistant, Florence
Austin, was heard in high school as
sembly hall over year ago.
Sinch then. besides having added
much to her repertoire, her playing
has taken on the style of the artist.
This young violinist was fortunate
enough to secure several engage
ments last winter in New York city
for which she received gratifying
notices in the musical papers.
Miss Sage, graduate of the Lee
land Powers School of Boston and
the Rice School of Expression, Oak
Bluffs, Mass, is to present Hartley
Manners comedy, peg O. My Heart.
Miss Sage has presented the reading
of this play before many clubs ant
societies in various parts of the coun,
try and has received the highest en-
dorsement for her work. Her char
acterizations are clear and vital, and
her sympathetic understanding of
tfp story makes her particularly fit
ted for the Interpretation of the var.
ious scenes.

The Man Who Possesses the Greatest Number Of Friends Is Genera
MUST FLANK THE FOE TO WIN
London Thinks Neither Side Can Win
on Present Battle Lines

London, Sept. 21.-The struggle on
the River Aisne, which began more
than week ago, has developed into
what are virtually siege operations.
The two armies, strongly intrenched.
are carrying on an artillery duel,
while the infantry makes attacks and
counter-attacks, which resemble sor-
ties from besieged fortress.
Occasionally one or the other gains
little ground, but it is so little that
the opposing forces remain in their
trenches or take up positions in new
intrenchments Immediately behind
those from which they are driven.
Military men are convinced that
nothing but outhanking movements
can have any serious effect on either
aramy. The Germans, according to
their own official report. have been
strongly reinforced, both on their
right, where Gen. Won Kluck is max
ing a stubborn stand on the hills
north of Aisne, and in the centre.
where the Germans are making great
efforts to recapture Rheims 1t is
probably the desire to recapture this
town. because of its importance as
the key to important communications
that will improve all their connec-
tions for attack or retreat, that has
led the Germans to continue the bonn
bardment that resulted in the destruc
ton of the famous cathedral.
This bombardment, which has been
of the most severe kind, is being di-
rected from Brimont, which the
French recaptured but lost again, and
from other hills around the town, and
is OF deadly character. The French
have brought up heavy artillery in
an attempt to drive the Germans out
of these hills. for until this is done
the situation in the town must be
difficult.
Severe fighting continues in the
Craonne district This is very diff.
ficult country for operations. The
plateau of Craonne is of limestone for
nation with the sides almost as per-
pendicular as walls. The valleys in
wet weather become quagmires. 1t
was on this plateau just a century
ago that Butcher failed to check Nap
oeon
The Allies have apparently scaled
the walls of the plateau and now hold
the heights. but the Germans in front
are in great strength.
Tho French Army. which is trying
to work around the German right. is
pushing slowly along. Starting from
Campiegne. 1t reached Noyon. and to-
day is on the heights of Lassigny. Its
next objective point is Tergnier, nine
teen miles from Laon, an important
railway junction which the Germans
are using for provisioning their
forces.
The French have made some head.
way in Champagne and on the west
ern slope OF the Argonne. and have re
occupied -Hurlus, and Mes
siges, but elsewhere the situation re.
mains as 1t was.
Apparently the front OF neither
army has been broken, and while the
German right may be bending back a
little apparently it is not yet out
Ranked.

mer resident of Bennington enabled
her to save her two-year-olds son.

then and waded waist deep for the
spot and succeeded in. reaching the
child before he sank again.
The child was unconscious when
Mrs Martin reached shore. A physi-
clan was summoned and rcsuscitsted

TO COMPILE OF j. S.
American Academy of Jurisprudence
Formed With Distinguished Law
yers Among Organizers.

NEW YORK. February 21-More than
fifty recognized leaders of the American
bar met here tonight and organised the
American Academy of Jurisprudence. Its
purpose. in the words of James De Witt
Andrews of New York, who called the
meeting to order, is the production OF
:. a complete and comprehensive state
ment in systematic form of the entire
body of American law"
Among its organizers are ex-President
Taft, United States Senator Root of New
York; Attorney General McReynoids, AL
ton B. Parker. Joseph H. Choate, former
Attorney General Wickersham and Gov.
Baldwin of Connecticut.
The American Academy of Juris-
prudence" Mr.. Andrews said, finds the
reason for its being in the capacity for
public service. The impulse Of its crea-
ton is public need. Its object is the
public good. The work of the academy
is the ENCOURAGEMENT of systematic re-
search. the second, the recognition Of a
system of legal education. and, thirdly.
a systematic restatement of the law
What treasures of learning are lost
to the world because Of the lack of some
organization which shall aid the indivi6u-
al scholars in their research and shall
preserve the results OF this research. How
vastly the unpublished results Of the
labor of such men as Thayer. Dean Ames
and Hammond exceeded the results which
form With an organization Of the kind
proposed the labor of the scholars can
be hghtened, the results preserved for
the public good"
