London, September 23.-Mo-

the battle Of Aisne are hap

from several points, suggest that

London, Sept 23.-There have been
no important changes on the battle
fronts in Northern France. The oppos-
ing armies continue to gain a little
here and lose little there. These
gains may tell in the long run, but
have brought no decisive result for
either side.
The French official report issued
again lays some stress on the an
nounCement that an advance is being
made by the allies left wing on the
right bank of the river Disc, from
which point both public and the mill
tary experts look for first indications
Of how the battle is likely to end.
Although the official reports do not
go beyond saying that the Germans
have been forced to give ground be-
fore the French attacks and speak Of
Noyon and the district around that
city as the center OF the operations
some correspondents describe the al
lies left as extending from just west
of Noyon to as far north as Lecatete,
from which point, or Peronne, the new
army of which there have been so
many reports. but no confirmation, is
supposed to be operating to threaten
the German right wing.
German Right In Danger.
II this is true the German right is
in a very dangerous position, for 1t
cannot extend much farther north or
west of ST. Quentin. It's position runs
thence by way OF Chauny and south
of Laon to north of Rheims.
On the plateau of Craonne severe
fighting has been going on for days,
but there is no late information as to
whether the Germans or the allies
hold the commanding positions here.
The allies had the plateau a few days
ago but the German official reports
claim that IL has been retaken. to.
gether with the village Of Betheny.
In the center between Rheims and
Sonain, which the French occupied
early in the week, there has been
more desperate fighting, the Germans
taking the offensive and, according to
the French reports, being repulsed
The Germans also have made some
attacks in the Woeyre district, without
! success. but they have succeeded
again in crossing the Lorraine from
tier and occupying Donestre, to the
south OF Blamount.
The French have captured addition
al prisoners and supply trains.
