Fighting has been fiercest, dur
ing the whole course of the bat
tie, along the river Aisne and in
the low foothills of the Ardennes
mountains north, northeast and
northwest Of the city of Rheims.
Retreating about eighty miles,
after the rout near Paris and the
disastrous battle of the Marine
river northeast of Paris, the Ger
mans entrenched themselves
along the north bank of the Aisne
and planted their heavy artillery
In the foothills. Thus fortified,
they have withstood the almost
constant assaults of the allies.
Allies Hold Rheims.
Altogether, the battle line is about
100 miles long, extending from the
Disc river, at the city Of Compiegne,
to Verdun, near the Alsatian border.
The city Of Rheims, an important
railroad center, is a sort of pinion for
the right and left wings Of the oppos-
ing armies. The allies hold it after
repeated attempts of their enemy to
capture the town.
Military experts believe that the
result of this battle will seriously af-
feet the outcome of the war. If the
Germans lose they will be driven into
German territory and entirely out of
France and Belgium, it is predicted.
If they win it probably will mean the
eventual capture of Paris
Three British Cruisers Sunk.
Three British first-class cruisers

sunk by German submarines in the
North sea on September 81, Seven

cruiser Pegasus in the harbor of Ian

It is reported from Rome that Aus
tria is massing a considerable force
along the Italian frontier and is pre-

this report may be doubted because
of Austria's already critical position,

Petrograd reports officially that the

nations are beginning to realize now
that national "gun-toting" is a con-

peaceful the intentions.
In every town which the Germans
have occupied in France a semi-civil
government under German rule has
been set up. Strict regulations are
made for non-com batants and the in

regular peaceful business.
Austrian Warships Sunk.
Paris.-The correspondent of the
Italian newspaper, Corriere-Della Ser
IA, telegraphs from Trieste that two
Austrian torpedo boats and one tor
pedo boat destroyer have been sunk
by floating mines on the coast of Dali

Italy Seeks Excuse.
Rome.-According to a report from
Basel, Germany has asked Switzer-
land to allow the movement of troops
through that country. The Swiss gov.
eminent is said to have refused, and
has notified Italy, who is prepared to
resort to arms in defense of it's neigh
