ENGLAND-WhiIe admitting that
the Germans, by sheer weight Of num-
bersfi have managed to gain successes
in the neishborhood Of Noyon and on
the heights Of the Meuse, the British
military experts believe the battle OF
the Aisne-Oise now in its twelfth day
is dominated by the allies and that
ultimate victory Is certain. impor-
tant developments from the naval
viewpoint are looked for as result
of conference between the high naval
officials.
FRANCE-The French right wing
has been in continuous action since
Just after midnight Thursday and 10
again on the offensive following the
arrival Of reinforcements. st. 0uen-
Elm was taken but later abandoned
because troops did not want to sub
nit the city to a bombardment from

that all attempts by the Austrians to
cross into Servian territory have
been repulsed excepting krupani,

GERMANY-It Is officially stated
the German right wing has advanced

that important gains have been made

LONDON, Sept. 26. With
the impending defeat Of the
German army in the third
battle and by far the great
est of Che war, the peril Of .
Zeppelin raid becomes acute.
It is known that the kaiser has
reserved his Zeppelins for his
heaviest stroke. He planned
to use his army to crush the
French and then to follow up
that work by a raid across the
channel by all of the Zeppelins
commanded by Count Zeppe-
lin himself, and to do as much
damage as possible to London
and the coastwise cities of
England. Now that the army
is checked and a bold stroke
must be made to revive the
dropping spirits Of the Ger
man people as a whole, there
is not a military expert in
England who does not believe
that the coming of the Zep-
pelins in a body is near at
hand. There is no doubt plans

TouI az base are said to be held
in check by the Germans. The latest
list Of casualties posted, raised tho
number Of killed, wounded and miss
! ing to $4,000.
BElGtUM-Aviators report that the
Germans are constructing a series Of
permanent earthworks In South Bel
GUM, are concentrating In the viein-
ity Of Waterloo and are apparently
preparing for winter campaign.
There are also evidences that the
Germans are getting ready to try to
take Antwerp.

that experts have found true AsIatie
cholera among the 10000 wounded in
the field hospital camp near Vienna

the offensive movement In Galicia
continues, that part Of the Przemysi
