The German general staff announces
the situation on the west front is still
favorable. 1t declares that the French
and English have at no place, on the
whole battlefront, won victory and
that the Germans can look with con-
fidence to the outcome.
The public has been showing signs
of impatience at the absence of news
of success from the front The fact
that the Siberian corps was engaged
in the fighting at Lyck, east Prussia,
is noted with interest here as indi.
eating that the mobilization of this
corps must have been accomplished
with extraordinary rapidity to enable
it to arrive in Europe within six
weeks after the Russian mobilization
order was issued.

here today:
During the days of the fourteenth
and fifteenth of September the rear
guards of the enemy, with which our
pursuing forces were in contact, were
reinforced from the main body of the
German army.
"The enemy is engaged in defen-
sive battle along their entire front,
on which certain of their positions
show strong organization. This front
is bounded by the region of Noyon,
the plains to the north of Vic Su Aisne
and Solons, the heights to the north
and to the west of Rheims, and a
line which runs thence to the north
of Vile Sur Tourbee, to the west of
the Argonne region and which is con-
tinued thence beyond the Argon1e by
another line, which passes north of
varennes, point that has been eva
cuated by the enemy, and reaches the
river Meuse in the neighborhood of
the forest of Forges, which is north
of Verdun.
During the pursuit of the enemy
executed by our. troops after the battle
of the Marne, the Germans abandoned
numerous prisoners to our hands; with
these men thare had been abandoned
large multitude of stragglers, who
were hidden in the forests.
mo exact accounting of these pris-
oners, or of the war material captured
by us so far. has been possible 1t
is for this reason that the minister
of war, who does not want to give
out figures, which might be consid-
cred fantastic, refrains from announc-
ing the captures.

GERMAN ARMY MAKES DESPERATE STAND IN FRANCE
Teuto11ic Troops Battling in East Prussia

of Paris, Sept. 16).-The German
right wing, in its retreat, abandoned
scissors yesterday (Monday) at the
same time leaving also the southern
bank of the River Aisne. The Ger
man retirement northward continued
during Monday night. The French in
their pursuit crossed the river.
The French artillery is today heav-
lily in action on the other bank of the
Aisne. The only thing that breaks
the Sabbath-like stiffness is the crash
Of artillery concealed at point
scarcely 300 yards from Scissors.
The general staff has authorized
the announcement that nowhere along
the line of battle have the British or
French forces won a victory No de-
tails of the fighting in France are
given out, and it is said that no de-
cisive turn of events seems probable
for some time to come.

Cape Town, Union of South Africa,
Sept. 16 (via London) General ia
cobus Hendrick de la Rey, the well
known Boer general, has been acci-
dentally shot dead near Johannes
burg.
General de la Rey, accompanied by
General Biers, who has just resigned
his position as commander-in-chief Of
the defense forces of the Union of
South Africa, was returning yesterday
evening by automobile to his farm
when the police. who were watching
for a gang of desperadoes known to
be using a car similar to that of De
la Rey, challenged the general. 1t is
evident that neither General De la
Rey nor the men in the car with him
heard the challenge, for they proceed
ed without stopping. The police fired
at hte car and a bullet entered Gen
eral De la Rey's heart.
The shooting of the general has
caused q. great sensation throughout
South Africa.

BRITISH SOLDIERS ARE BRAVE
THEY ARE MAKING HEROES OF
THEMSELVES BY DEEDS OF
VALoR ON THE FIELD

London, Sept. 16-The second great
battle in northern France since the
southbound sweep of the German in
yaders met its check is now apparent
ly in progress to the northward of the
River Aisne4 The opposing lines are
arrayed from the Argonne hills
through Rethel to Chateau Porcein
and near the practice camp of Sois-
some, where the program of the
French summer maneuvers contem-
plated cavalry training on q large
scale for this very date.
Whether the Germans purpose to
fight to a finish at this position or
plan merely to retrieve their retreat
to the River Meuse is not yet clear,
but the German commanders are show
ing the same ability in keeping their
forces intact as they showed a fort
night ago.
The German rush into France and
back thus far has brought no decisive
result and until a pitched battle on a
huge scale is fought and won neither
side is in position to claim that it
has secured more than the opening
advantage in the war engagement
The allies, for the moment, have
retrieved their perilous position and
have turned the tables on the invad-
ers, but the next move Is what the
Germans, whose armies are still in
great force and on ground more or
less selected by themselves, will do.
The debacle-for it seems nothing
less-in the Austrian armies, means
that Germany will have more and
more to rely mainly on herself; hence
there will be a greater central depend
ence of events in the eastern and
western field of operations.
What new forces Germany can put
into the campaign in the western area
must henceforth depend in a great
measure on how far she can neglect
the Russian movement on Breslau, the
capital of the Prusstan province OF
SILICA.
According to reports today Emper
or William himself has gone to east
Prussia to take chief command of the
German armies opposing the Russian
invaders. He may have gone there
but little consideration is attached tc

Great Battle in Progress

Paris, Sept. 16-The German
armies who failed, according to
French Judgment, to pierce road
for their retreat by way of the from
tier toward Metz, apparently have de-
cided to fight another great battle for
supremacy in the territory northeast
of Paris.
They have taken up line almost
as extensive as that of the battle of
the Marne, and for the last two days
there has been in progress a desper-
ate struggle in which the entire Ger
man force that made the rapid adj
vance on Paris has been engaged.
Th called troops, strengthened by
new arrivals, also are being engaged,
their whole strngth being called into
play. Their purpose is TO dislodge
the Germans, whom in some quarters
are believed to be suffering from OK
haustion, due to their long continued
SuCo anu OOoPiSo
with incessant and fierce encounters
between their flank and rear guards
as they retired, and the advance
guards of the allies.
Germans Have Best Position
The positions occupied by the Ger
mans for the second extended en-
gagement, especially at the western
end of their line, appear to be suited
naturally for the combat, which, ac.
cording to French military critics,
will have a far reaching influence in
the future progress of the war. The
Germans are stationed on a great
plateau of undulating country. inter
sperced here and there with wooded
heights.

Gardens Statement

New York, Sept 16.-Sir Lionel
Garden, one time British minister 10
Mexico, and recently appointed min
lister to Brazil, sailing today on the
Celtic for Liverpool, is quoted by tt
New York City News association as
having made the following statemer
concerning withdrawal of Ans ricaa
troops from Vera Cruz;
II = desperate shame that n
United States has seen fit to abandon
the decent people of Mexico when
they most need help. / don't know
the reason for this, but it would seem
that President Wilson had been mis-
informed in some matters and that
if another side of the situation has
been brought to his attention he has
not seen fit to listen to anything that
contradicts those who have told him
that the country has been pacified.
"The people who did not get pro-
lection I'M Mexico City and elsewhere
went to Vera Cruz for protection.
What will they do now? They have
no means of getting away and will
be left to the mercies of the lawless
element that will Immediately run the
town and country"
when it is said that state OF
absolute anarchy exists in Mexico il
is not stating the facts too strongly"
continued Sir Lionel.
There were some 1000 good po-
licemen in the City of Mexico. but
these have been supplanted by an
army of $4,000 soldiers that fought
the federals. Among these are sew
eral thousand wild Yaqui Indians who
two months ago fought with bows and
arrows as the only weapons they
knew. Imagine these wild men turn
ed loose in the streets of a great city
with no law to govern them and with
the residents at their mercy.
Neither life, liberty nor property
is safe and whenever an officer SO
desires he may turn family out of
its home and commander everything.
There is no redress, for there are no
courts, no congress, no laws-nothing
but anarchy, but military despotisms
without even supreme chief, to over
see that
"Ouerta had some sort of a gov
ernment. Carranza has none what

Washington, Sept. 16.-The text of

son at the White House today by Mr.
Carton de Wiart, was as follows:
"Excellency:
His majesty the king of the Bel
CLANS, has charged us with special
mission to the president of the United
States.
Let me say to you how much we
feel ourselves honored to have been

American people have called to the
highest dignity of the commonwealth.
AS far as l am concerned, have

tues of the American nation and | am
happy to take this opportunity to ex-
press the admiration with which they
inspired me-
Ever since her independence was
first established, Belgium has been
declared neutral in perpetuity. This
neutrality, guaranteed by the powers,
has recently been violated by one of
them. Had we consented to abandon
our neutrality for the benefit of one
of the sbelligerents we would have be-
| trayed our obligations towards the
others and it was the sense of our
international obligations, as well as
that of our dignity and honor that
has driven us to resistance.
The consequences suffered by the
Belgian nation were not confined
purely to the harm occasioned by the
forced march of an invading army.
This army not only seized a great por-
ton of our territory, but it commit
| ted incredible acts of violence, the ma
ture of which is contrary to the rights
of mankind.
Peaceful inhabitants were massa-
cred. defenseless women and children
were outraged, open and undefended
towns were destroyed, historical and
religious monuments were reduced to
dust, and the famous library of the
University of Louvain was given to
the flames.
'sOur government has appointed a
| judicial commission to make an Off
cial investigation and determine the
responsibility, and will have the
honor, excellency, to hand over to you
the proceedings of the inquiry.

is sweeping all over Europe, the Uni

Mental work calls an unusual suppl,
of blood to the brain; the process of
digestion calls the blood to the stom-
ach. Brain work Immediately after
hearty meal often causes indigestion
because the brain has first call on a
supply of blood that should be helping
the stomach.
Wherever, in the economy of the
body. work Is to be done there is a de-
mand for bright, red blood. Thin
blood or blood dark with impurities
will not do because it is the oxygen
carried by the blood that does the
work and oxygen-bearing blood is
bright and red. This life-sustaining
oxygen is taken up by the blood from
the air which 1t meets in the lungs.
Hence the great need of fresh air
every hour of the day and night But
fresh air is useless IL the blood cannot
take up the oxygen which 1t gives.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills enable the
blood to take up more oxygen because
they increase the part of the blood
that carries the oxygen. This corrects
