Gil Bias of February 25, 1913. That paper on this date is said to have published the following:
 "A newspaper in Eastern France has revealed a highly interesting piece of news. In military circles there is related that large stocks of British ammunition have for several weeks been brought into Maubeuge, near the northeastern frontier of France on the railway line from Paris to Cologne. The city of Maubeuge is of great military importance. It is designated in French general staff's plan of campaign as the concentration point for the allied troops which will be commanded in case of war by English Field Marshal Sir John French, under General Joffre as com mander in chief. It is well known that British cannon fire different pro- jectiles from those of France The two governments, however reached an agreement to accumulate on French territory in time of peace necessary war supplies of ammunition for the English artillery"

COLONEL GIVES VIEWS SONL LABOR
 AND CAPITAL
In Addressing Wichit a Meeting of Progressives Discusses at Length the Relations Between Money and the Workingman

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt ad- dressing d state wide meeting of Pro- gressives at Wichita, Kansas, on Sat urday. elucidated his position on inn portant subjects of legislation He discussed the relations of capital and labor at some length, pointing to the Colorado labor troubles as illustrat- ing the failure of national and state governments to enact and enforce ef- fective laws and pointed to the New York, New Haven x Hartford railroad gone wrong in the absence of proper governmental control
 Business, he asserted, is entitled to it's profits, and we must learn to accept the principle of combination of capital as of the highest economic value. But this acceptance, he in sisted. must carry with it a fair share of the profit to the employe. The industrial situation has greatly changed in the last 9 years, he said for whereas at the beginning of the period mentioned only about p per cent of the people were employees, at this time half of them live on their wages. He quoted "DOOley" in il- lustration.
 Jefferson was a good man," sad Dooley, but he lived before the days of open plumbing"
 Congressman erred in defeating re- form measures proposed by Progress sives, the speaker asserted, mention- ing the Murdock trust bills, the tariff commission bill the federal employ ment bureau bill and the bill for the which he said were blocked by op- ponents of the Progressives.
 This opposition, he said, emphasiz- ed the need of our demand for re- form of the political machinery, not ably the reform of the presidential nominating system. Expanding the labor theme, Colonel Roosevelt said:
 There must be full participation in industry of the three big factors adequate capital, successful manage
 ment and highly paid and highly ef-
 ficient labor. There must be full and ungrudging recognition of labor's | right in industry and on the other
 hand no less recognition by labor of | it's responsibility as to output and its
 share in the responsibility to the pnb- Llic for stability and peace in industry l Not only must we now insist or
 certain types of legislation but wt
 must take the lead in educating tho public, in educating our people as 6 1 people because there can be no legis- 1 lation until we have an intelligen
 and aroused public opinion. Otter 1 lContinued on Page Threel

BERLIN, Sept 20.-Nobody in Ger many is willing to admit the sincerity of Great Britain in passing it's decla- ration of war on Germany's violation of territory in Belgium, and Luxem berg, and much alleged evidence is produced in newspapers and maga- zines to prove that Great Britain had already made up its mind to join France and Russia previous to Ger many's advance into Belgian terri tory.
 In highest circles of the German government it is claimed the foreign office has evidence that Great Bri- tain was negotiating with Russia sev- eral months before the war broke out to furnish ships for the descent of the Russian troops on the coast of Pome- rania, which lies on the Baltic sea, north of Berlin, but it appears noth- ing came of these negotiations.

however, these figures are not com- plete.
 According to letter from the front, the French aviator, M. Chevil- Hard was captured on September 2. He approached too closely to the Germans, whom he mistook for the British and his machine was shot down by a soldier who recognized Chevilliard, whom he had seen in ex- hibition flights in Germany. The air. man denied his identity.
 Chevillard had as a passenger an officer of the general staff. who car ried several important maps. The aeroplane was provided with bombs. Neither Chevillard nor his passenger was wounded.
 General SteinmetZ, possessor of the iron cross since 1870, was killed on September 15. Another officer killed was Commander Count Detlew Rant zau.

PARIS, Sept. 2O.-The French war office today issued the following conf munication:
 "On our left wing We have again made a slight advance along the right bank Of the river Disc The division of Algerians have captured another flag.
 All efforts of the Germans, support ed by strong artillery. to smash our front between Craonne and Rheims have been repulsed.
 Near Rheims, the hill of Brimont, portion of which we occupied, has been retaken by the enemy. In return we have taken possession of the defenses of La Pampelle, (about five miles east by southeast of Rheims.
 The Germans aroused themselves to a condition of such fury that, without military reason. they fired on the ca- thedral of Rheims, which is in flames
 ''In the center, between Rheims and the forest of Argonne, we have won the village of Souain, and taken thou sands of prisoners.
 "On the western side of the ArgOnne our gains have been maintained
 Tn Woevre there is nothing to an- nounce.
 "On the right wing in Lorraine the enemy has been driven back beyond our frontier, evacuating, in particular the region of Avricourt, Ga border vil- lage.).
 Tn Voges, the enemy tried to resume the offensive in the neighborhood of St. Die, but without success
 Our attacks progress slowly on the side, because of the difficulty of ground and defensive work encountered there and bad weather.
 "As yet we have no certain confir- nation of the reduction of forts not previously destroyed at Maubeuge, but the German press reports the taking of this city and even indicates it's gover- nor will be interned at Torgau, fPrus- sia.)
 "The Saxon army has been broken up and it's commander General Von Housen, has been relieved of his com- mand
 "A cavalry division of the same na- tionality. which fought in Lorraine at the opening of the campaign and was later sent to Russia, shared the down fall of the Russian army and must have suffered severe losses.

For Week Terrible Contest Has Been Waged With First Slight Advantage for One and Then for the Other
BOTH SIDES IN
 ENTERTAINMENTS
Artillery Duels Such as Were Never Before Wit messed Carried On in Eff fort to Cause Evacuation of Positions
Associated Press Dispatch)

LONDON, Sept. 20.-One of the fiercest battles of all time which has been raging across northern France for a week past, with first a slight advantage for one side and then on the other. remains undecided. The great ar mics which have been fight ing for a month, with few if any intermissions, have dug themselves into entrench- ments on rivers and moun- tain ranges on a front reach ing from Disc to Mouse and thence southeastward along the Franco-German frontier.
 Artillery duels such as were never seen before were carried on with the hope of compelling the evacuation of strongly held positions, with occasional successes to the opposing sides, while the in- fantrv. in the face of the galling fire, charged right up to the guns, only to make their enemy give way slight ly or to be repulsed with heavy losses.
 Fighting is fiercest on the allies left, which lies on the right bank of the Disc river, in the vicinity of Rheims and the famous cathedral, which was set on fire by German shells. Between that town and the Argonne ridge, it has been give and take all the time.
 A French official report, however, again claims slight progress on the French left, and that the allies again re- pulsed the strong frontal at Jacks between Craonne and Rheims. Around Rheims it. self matters have been about capitalized, as the Ger mans have recaptured the heights of Brimont, while the French have taken the defenses of La Pompelle.
 The French also scored success between Rheims and Argonne, where they have taken the village of Souain and captured numerous pris- oners. In addition, the French report progress on the western slopes of the

 tacks and counter attacks by the ar mics lying in trenches and waiting for their artillery to compel the other side to slacken it's fire. The losses in these attacks must have been enormous, for the men cannot move on foot without being made the targets of heavy guns posted on the hills above them.
 The British apparently have learned something from the Japanese attacks On Port Arthur. They make rush forward when the fire becomes too heavy for them to make further ad- vance and they again dig trenches for themselves and remain there for an- other opportunity to gain few more yards.
 The Germans had the most of their artillery at work, but the French are bringing up more and bigger guns. This klnd of fighting with both sides in strong positions may go on for days yet. but sooner or later one side must find the continual fall of shells discon- certing and the infantry attacks on them too much, and leaving a strong rear guard draw back for a breathing spell.
 The battle resembles in many par tiCulacs that of Sha-Ho in 1904, where the Japanese and Russians, with much more time to do it, established posi- tions which each thought impregnabe. Shells and infantry attacks, however. finally compelled the Russians to with draw with losses at that time without precedent With all the hard and long fighting behind them, the Germans are again making attacks toward Verdun. while the allies are making frontal at tacks on the German right once more, attempting to outflank it
 The German cavalry is showing con- siderable daring. trying to cut the c6fn- munications of the allies between Disc and the coast.
 French reports bring confirmation of IulIlOIS lldl lDe DdhOI dIUlN uHutT General Von Hausen has been reorgan- ized. The report used the phrase broken up," but this is taken to mean it has been reorganized and parts of it distributed among the other armies.
 Its cavalry, for instance. has been sent east.
 While accounts of operations in Ga iicia differ, one goes so far as to say that General Dankrs army is surround ed by the Russians and only remnants of the German corps there remain. It is considered certain the armies have not come to grips again as yet.
 The Russians have to capture Prze- mysl where it is reported three Ger man army corps have been sent to help the Austrians, before they can make further progress westward. The other Russian army, however will be free to proceed against CracoW if Gen eraI Dankl is disposed of. The German army in Silesia has become more ac- tive, the Russians claiming to have taken part of the artillery on the Bres- lau Ivangerod lines.
 Servians announce another victory over the Austrians near NovipaZar, a town which has been so often men tioned in the Austro- -Servian contro- versies.
