Copenhagen. Sept. 19.-Germany is

text of the statement is as follows:
First on our left wing, on the right
bank of the River Disc, in the direc-
ton of Noyon, we have advanced. We
hold all the heights Of the right banl

seems to~be reinforcing himself by the
bringing Of troops from Lorraine.
Second, on the center, the Germans

Those in London closely following the
war base their chief hope of the allies
in a possible development of the Ger
mar right wing under General Won
Kluck, who heretofore has shown him
self a master of strategy. Renewed ac-
tivity On the part OF the allied cavalry
and u significant movement of allied
troops to the north and west of the
German line of communication together
with a possible advance of fresh allied
troops from the northwest through
Amiens, gives expression of these
hopes.
Eye witnesses INC surgeons testify
to a paradox on the modern battlefield
the recurring frequency of hand to
hand fighting, which sc many military
men predicted was a thing of the past.
Bayonet wounds and other cumulative
evidence. however, show hat the sold
iers nave been engaged in a death grip,
during which they ~resorted to their side
arms and in some cases to their hands.
Another fact which stands out amidst
the varied accounts OF the hostilities
is the utter prodisality with which the
Germans throw forward man after man
in close formation in an attempt to
carry q position. The tremendous losses
they have sustained seem not to have
changed these tactics.

this situation ~develops the only pos
sible way for the allies to prevent a.
weary and disheartening winter CAM
paign, it is argued here, would be a
successful assault on the German com
m~unicatfons. Such an assault, it is
admitted by the allies, will not be an
easy matter. The Belgian army ia
marrying the invader, probably prevents
the despatch Of any great part OF the
Gerneny army now occupying Belgium
to reinforce their countrymen In France

London, Sept. 20-Tf reliance can be placed on the British and
French assertions that the right wing of the German armies which
stretch across northeastern France is slowly falling back, then the
battle of the Aisne seems likely to follow the course of the battle OF
the Marine, fos there it was the German right which first fell back
across the river.
Along the 15omile fsont, the rear Of which is SCARED with
graves of thousands already killed, two armies, comprising millions
of men, rapidly approaching exhaustion and standing in trenches
deep with water, await an OPPORTUNITY to drive a wedge through
the opposing line and thus end the terrible strain which must last as
long as Emperor Williams troops hold their now strongly en-.
trenGhed positions, and as long as the allied forces can face the MUIR
derous hail of projecties from the hidden batteries of their Op-
ponents.
Both the British and the French realize that it will take almost
a superhuman effort to win, the strength of the German position
being emphasized in almost every dispatch from the front.

KAISER NOT DOWN AND
OUT, SAYS CLEMENCEAU

Bordeaux, Sept. 19.-In an in
terview here, Georges Clemen-
ceau, famous French statesman
and author, says:
ut would be madness to
imagine that Germany is down
and out. The great part of her
military resources remains in
tact, and her automatic discip-
line will soon reassert itself.
THE stakes are too great for
the kaiser to abandon the
struggle now. I pay him the
honor of believing his resist
ance will be desperate, but des-
tiny grips his throat.
Grave mistakes were made
on our side for which we might
have paid dear, but we repaired
them in a brilliant manner. We
must now prepare for still
greater efforts. The allies must
create a new independent, civ
ilized Europe out of which
Germany must be eliminated

washington, sept. Though q
dreary, continuous session, the Senate
today dragged it's weary way in an
effort to break the stubborn flibuster

Quoted by Senators Burton and Ken

1t was a red-eyed. bedraggled SEN
ate that sat in solemn silence listen
ing to interminable criticisms of the
measure today. For the Senate was
suffering from the effects of an ALL
night session. Democratic leaders of
the Senate, ably supported in point of
numbers, had brought to bear every
parliamentary check they could find in
an effort to break the continuous flow
of river and harbor information i'm
parted by Senator Burton. Matching
parliamentary strategy for strategy,

most empty chamber, and whenever
he could to a full attendance brought

Several times a roll call failed to

PENDANTS with arrest because of their
alleged refusal to permit the senator
to be disturbed. Senator Smith, Of
Maryland, was located at a theater by
the sergeant at arms and hurried to
the chamber. Senator Weeks, of
Massachusetts, reported to the Senate
some time after a quorum had been
reached and after being informed he
would be arrested and promised the
sergeant at arms to hurry to the SEN
ate in order to avoid being brought In
by the arm.
Senator Burton took the floor short
ly before 6 o'clock last night, after the
democrats had determined on a con-
tlnuous session. Despite all efforts tc
