hour at Burton's Inn. Somehow he
was not able TO confine his thoughts
to Hetty Castlston alone. She seemed
TO sink into the background. despite
the absolution he had been so ready.

Heavy Rains In Eastern Theatre of War Have Caused Rivers to Over run Banks, While Outbreaks of Cholera Are Reported Among Ser vian and Hungarian Troops

London, Sept 26.@The weather con sditions which were exceptionally fa- vorab1e to modern military operations during the first weeks of the war have now changed, and are in the main re- sponsibIe for the lull prevailing in the western theatre of war with the exception of the combined ndontene- grin and Servian assault on the cov- eted provinces of Bosnia and Herze- Eov1na-
 Accompanying the reports of bad weather comes the ominous news of the presence of disease. Hungary has among her troops and while it is de- nied officially, the same scourge is said to have attacked the Servian troops General epidenics of milder diseases may be expected in the west ern battle area where the troops on obth sides, drenched by a pdtiless rain, are lying in flooded trenches. The op- eratfons in Alsace-Lorraine are said to have come to a complete stop on account of snowstorms. Rain and Hoods are reported also from the zone llof the GAa1fcian operations and prob ably account for the cessation of the sFs71sssfen attack on the rereating Aus fere greatly with motor transports and troops taking the offensive may be greatly handicapped by inability to bring up their artillery.

The latest official communication from Paris was even more 1aconic than usual. It said that the battle was developing on the left wing of the allies but there was a lulI in the center and that the attack of the a1- lies night had been repulsed.
 Petrograd reports that Russian troops in pursuit of the Austrians are now within one march of the river VistuIa and the city of Tarnow, which is only two marches from Cracow and connected by rail with Budapest and Vienna.
 Copenhagen reports great battle in East Prussia the despatches de- c1aring also that Russian army is marching on Breslau.
 Despatches received from Nish, Servia. report a. continuous advance into Bosnia. saying also that all efforts of the Austriasns to cross the Danube have been checked after furious fight ing.
 The exploits in Indian waters of the German cruiser Emden have aroused keen interest here. But the daring on- day morning is believed to indicate that she is prepared for a spectacular exit from the scene of her triumph.
 In the diplomatic field. the pres sure on Italy to join the cause of the triple entente increase daily. The al- lies point out InsI III case or Ine1r victory, Servia must be given a port on the Adriatic, and the bait of Av- lona on which port Italy long has cast, is hung before the Servian gov ernment as possible reward particu- IarIy if Italy fails to join the allies.
 Germany is reported to have re- .uqested Switzerland's permission to send forces through that country. This was refused and in case Germany movesu forcibly to this end Italy is said to be prepared to defend Swiss neutrality.

 t'The question of officers is a serious one. nexam imitation of our casualty lists shows we have lost already over 1,1OO officers in killed, wounded or missing This is two out of every i've at the front.
 More officers is the constant cry from the front and several hundred have been sent, but obviously this cannot be kept up forever and each officer sent is one less instructor for the new troops.

 In this fighting. which is in large measure from irnprovised forts. the allies have advanced not only on the left where their manouvers apparently were successful, but also all other points which were strongly fortified such as Berry-au-B -Bac in the direction of Craonne. Judging from the reports coming to Paris. the Germans appear to be sacrificing masses of men in the hope of gaining quick advantage.
 So strong are some of the positions on each side that Paris believes a long and steady siege at some points is not improbable NThe allies would appear to be prepared for this event ua4ity as we'll as for any other devel- oDments
