FURY OF THE BATES. SOMEWHAT D|MM[Oj BY FATIGUE OF THE
 ARMY OF GERMANY
Remarkable Feats of Engi- neering Performed by AL lies and Germans-French
 Report Says Germans Re- pulsed All Along the Line

London, September 2O.--tD,f0 D. m.) A dispatch to the Times from Paris says;
 sThe public was reassured by the an nouncement that the fury of the sattfe had been somewhat diminished along the whole line, as this denoted fatigue on the part of the Germans. The ene- my made extraordinary preparations with the advance. for their retirement on their chosen lines, their engineers having worked at the trenches for 10 dnts before the opening of the battle. Hut the French eDtrenchment is also remarkable. At one point Dear Sois- sons, the French concealed 120 gums of 7a milimetres which opened fire simul- taneously with tremendous force. The feat which attracted most attention was the construction by the French Of p0ntoon bridges acr0ss the Aisne, which were several times destroyed by the German artillery fire. Despite thIs, the French got over 10000 xounyes who charged the German lines. almost before the enemy wns aware of their presence.
 ''Whatever be the result of the battle it cannot be final in the sense of Anglo French resistance. for the allies would retire under the forts. where a third bat tie would be fought.
 If the Germans lose. French territory will re free from invasion. If the allies do not score a definite success they Will bring up fresh troops and strike again.
 Allies Maneuvering
 The impression cxists that the alues are maneuvering and that the principal offensive is taking place along their left wing. Recent official communications in- dcate progress in that direction. If this succeeds. the enemy will be driven from the natural bastions formed by depres- sions in the plateau above Soissons
 'In abandoning Soissons the enemy have only two roads to the north. One has too many convoutions. which would eS- pose them to flank attack, and the other leading to Laon. would be the natural line of retreat.

THRILLING ACCOUNT
 .OF BATTLE OF A|SNE SENT LONDON TIMES BY CORRESPONDENT
Man in Trenches Along
 River Matchlessly Op- timistic Over Outcome of Greatest Battle of History. Says Losses Are Terrible

London, September 20.-(9s40 p. m.) \ correspondent of the Times sends the following dispatch from ssBehind the British Ilncsv dated September Is:s
 .sThe great battle draws to close. Exhaustion rather than shot and shell has wrought q terrible peace along inc river banks--a peace which my ex- periences of the Inst few days leads pe to believe may be the hernIded vic- tory. That. at least is how l read the situation.
 q have seen our troops and the French go into battle these last days not as worn and weary men, but as conquerors 1 have seen them return wounded from this valley of death with the conauering spirit famed to fierce fury. Here is a typical description from the trenches of the great struggle:
 We are slowly beating them back We have to do it foot by foot, for they have huge guns and their shell fire is How? Well, we dig ourselves in--we Br1tiSh lads have learned that lesson and then we go on fighting and fighting until the moment comes when we can make small advance. We crawl up again and dig ourselves in. and so on.
 At the end. it, of course, comes to cold steel We are all right there
 River Scene Magnificent
 The scene on the river at night was magnificent and appalling beyond words. The whole valley was swept with blaze of search lights from darkness until dawn. Great beams moved up and down, searching the skies and trenches and re- vealing masked batteries on the heights and dark forms lying along the ridges.
 Here and there flash revealed the bursting of shell. Over all rolled the perpetual thunder of the guns-a fierce and thrilling accompaniment.
 An incessant rain, too, flooded the great river, making the work of the engi- neers a veritable task of Hercules.
 This was a battle to the last ounce of strength, in which man and horse

Berlin. September 20.-(By Wireless Via sayville, L. I)-The German war head quarters made the following announce ment last night:
 'The situation on the western front is generally unchanged The Anglo-French forces have been compelled to assume the defensive on the whole line. Ae decisive assault on the line of forts south of Yer dun is about to begin.
 .'The Germans are in contact with the French along the frontier in Alsace.
 Tn the east the Germans have defeated the fourth Finnish rife brigade at Au- gustow and forces advancing against Os- somiec have captured Grajewo and Szou- ozyw."
 War Loan Made
 Subscriptions to the war loan closed been announced 1t Is officially announced that subscriptions to the imperial bonds of 2.5OO, ,0Oo,OOO marks (ss25, 100000 and to the treasury certificates of 100000. 900 marks, ($250 OOO, ,OO0) are reported
 Telegrams from Brussels state that the military governor has announced that Bel gian flags should be removed from sight to avoid provocation to the German troops and make impossible regrettable incl dents. The order has been explained to the public by the mayor of Brussels. who Is working in cooperation with the Ger man civil authorities.
 The substance of the first part of the foregoing dispatch, referring to the sit uation on the battle line in France was received earlier in two Berlin dispatches coming by way of London and subjected to censorship.
 The fact that the unscored wireless dispatch is virtually identical in wording with the cable messages. allowing for discrepancy in translation, would seem to indicate that the censorship in Lon don is being somewhat relaxed
