War Summary

The thirteenth day OF the great
battle of the Aisne, TO the north
west Of Paris, finds the Franco
British and German armies still
fighting desperately, with the
Germans tiercely resisting the
gradual advance of the allies on
General Won Kmck's flank.
The French army is now en-
trenched in position between
the Sommc and Disc rivers, in a
position approximately sixty miles
north of Paris
On the eastern end Of the battle
line in France the Germans are
reported TO be making a de-
termined assault of the Nerdun
positions. One report of the
fighting there places the German
casualties at 10000 dead and
5000 wounded
The German army headquarters
in its latest official statement re-
garding the situation in France
confines itself to stating that
there have been some minor en-
gagements, but that nothing of
importance has transpired.
The sharpening of the censor
ship over news passing through
the hands of British authorities,
as announced last night would be
put into effect, is apparent to
marked degree today. A consid-
erable amount of unofficial re-
ports, comment and special dis
patches from the war zone is not
being transmitted from England.
In the eastern theater, the Rus
sian pursuit Of the Austro-Ger-
man forces in Galicia continues.
A Russian official statement says
the Galician fortified positions of
Czyschky and Foulstyn, together
with all the Austrian artillery,
have been captured.
Following the capture of Jaros-
lau, the Russian flag has moved
forward twelve miles to the west
of that position and now flies
over the towns of Przeworsk and
Nancut. The Russians claim to
be steadily closing in on Cracow.
A Berlin official statement says
there is no news from the eastern
war arena.
Zeppelin airships have extended
their operations to the Belgium
seaside resort of Ostend. Three
bombs dropped from a dirigible,
caused considerable damage to
buildings and created panic
among the inhabitants.
The Berne government is re-
ported to have declined Ger
many's request for permission to
send its forces through SwitZer-
land. Italy, II is said, is prepared
to defend Switzerland's neutral
ity should Germany forCibly at
tempt to cross the frontier.
A French official announcement
states that the Germans are again
bombarding the historic cathedral
at Rheims.

Major Tankavitch,
Who Started War, is
Killed in Battle

LONDON, Sept. 25,-(21S p. m.)-The
Rome correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph company says that Major Roja
Tankavitch, to whose intrgues the source
of the present war was traccable, has,
according TO Vienna dispatch been
found dead by Austrians near Krupagne,
where he commanded a battery OF artil-
lery in a recent battle.
Major Tankavitch was formally charged
by the Austrian government with supply
ing the Servian arms factory the re-
vOlvers with which the archduke Franz
Ferdinand, and his wife, the princess OF
Ilohenberg, were assassinated at Sar-
ajevo. the Bosnian capital.

ALLIES CONTINUE
MOVE IN NORTH
English and French Armies Are
Pushing Their Attack Upon
Roye and Peronne.
GERMANS RESIST DESPERATELY
Defcuscs ON Both Sides Are So
strong TINT Long and steady
Siege at Some Positions is
Not Improbable.

PARIS, Sept. 25.-According to
information reaching the French
capital this morning, the Ger
mans are continuing their des-
perate resistance against the ad-
vance of the allies in the north. This
advance was first on Roye, twenty
six miles to the east of Amiens, and
then on Peronne, twenty miles north
of Roye.
1t was only by a continuous rak-
ing artillery fire and hard fighting
that the French and British troops
were able to continue their advance
against the vigorous attacks of the
enemy The left wing Of the allies
now occupies positions between the
river Oise and the river Somme,
which were traversed by the Ger
mans during their advance in the di-
rection OF Paris.
From this fact is argued here by mill
tary observers the Germans will be
obliged TO concentrate a great force in
order to protect their right wing, tho
outTlankinE of which, Paris believes
would mean n decisive victory for tho
allies
In this fighting. which is in large meas
urc from improyised forts the allies have
advanced not only ON the left, where
their maneuvcrs apparently were sue
cessful. but also at other points which
were strongly fortified. such as Berry
Au-Bac, in the direction Of Craonne.
Judging from the reports coming to
Paris the Germans appear to be sacri-
ficing masses Of men in the hope Of gain
ing a quick advantage.
So strong are some OF the positions on
both sides tlat Paris believes a long and
steady siege at some point is not i'm
probable. The allies appear To be pre-
pared for this, as well as for any other
developments.
General Action on Left Wing.
The following official communication
was given out in Paris this afternoon:
"First-On our left wing there has
begun general action Of great vio-
lence between those detachments Of our
forces that are operating between the
River Sommc and the River Disc and the
army corps which the enemy has grouped
IN the region around Tergnier and st.
quentin, These army corps have come,
some from the center of the enemy's line
and others from Lorraine and the Vosges
These last named corps were transported

LONDON, Sept 3.-From Perronne

came to London during the forenoon to-
day nothing to indicate that either Of the
vast armies whose millions, like molee.
are conducting their operations virtually
under ground had yielded at any inn

It has been said that a new battle was
developing on the allies left wing but
so far as London Is concerned this as
yet lacks official confirmation. There
were also reports that the Germans have
made gigantic preparations to renew the
siege of Verdun,
The heaviest siege artillery, according
to these reports, is being transported by
the Germans from Metz, and they are
sacrificing thousands of lives in their
endeavors to place these monsters in
position. The plain to the east of Verdun
