in FURIOUS BATTLE
GERMANS MAKE ONE ATTEMPT
AFTER ANOTHER TO BREAK
THROUGH ALLIES FORCES.
FIERCE HAND TO HAND FIGHT
Infantry Bore Brunt Of Fight, But Ar
tilery of Buoth Armies Bombarded
Each Others Position.-Prominent
French General Killed.

On the Battle Front. Sept 81, via
Paris, Sept. 2S.-Desperate attempts
made by the Germans on the western
end of the long line OF battle to break
through the allies forces which are en-
gagged in a turning movement have re-
suited in the most furious fighting
which has taken place since the begin
ming of the campaign.
After fighting without respite night
and day, corps after corps OF Germans
were hurled against the flower of the
French and English army today, only
to be thrown back.
The infantry bore the brunt of the
incessant fight, but the artillery of
both armies continued throughout "a
hours to lombard each others posi-
tons Hand-to-hand combats occurred
at many points and bayonets were
used freely.
The French colonial infantry, most
of whose men wear many medals for
bravery displayed in colonial cam
paigns, was to the fore, and beside
these men fought the black Sengalese
troops, while further along the line
the British troops held an important
point with the greatest determination.
Acts of Wonderful Courage.
The French troops showed more than
their accustomed dash in attacks and
everywhere acts of wonderful courage
were performed. The. cavalry also
participated in the engagements at
many points, the allies horses having
enjoyed long rest, which enabled
this arm of the service to distinguish
itself.
The famous Scots Grays, finding that
the color of their horses offered q
prominent mark for the German rifle
men, had dyed their m UNITS brown.
General Marquet 10 Killed.
Another prominent French officer,
General Marquet, has met death on the
field.
At Nubecourt, home of the parents
of President Poincare, the Germans
broke open the Poincare family vault
1t is reported, and buri I'D number oil
their dead there. The Germans pla
carded the town of Valenciennes, de
handing from the mayor lists of th<
supplies Of clothing and food.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: "Hesitancy In
entering on new commitments contin-
ues and spirit of caution Is every
where manifested, yet the confident
feeling in business circles Is main
tanned. Sentiment is strengthened by
developments in the financial situa-
ton, favorable impression being Gre
ated by the further improvement In
foreign exchange and the action taken
with view to meeting maturing OBJ
legations abroad. Considerable gold
has already been shipped to Canada
1or this purpose, and it is evident that
banking interests here are actively en-
gagged in the effort to restore more
normal monetary conditions. The
prevailing high rates for accommodar
ton still exert restraining influence
on trade expansion, but moderate
progress is noted n various leading
lines, especially in the eastern and
western sections OF the country.

ALASKA BILL PASSED SENATE
Leasing Of Coal Lands important
Features-Differs From
House Measure.

| A new bill fer leasing government
coal lands in Alaska passed the SEN
ate as substitute for a similar bill
recently passed by the house 1t would
restrict leases to American citizens.
Several senators pointed out that there
was danger that foreign corporations
might otherwise control much Alaskan
| territory.
| The measure as now framed differs
from that recently passed by the house
in many particulars. It provides that
the government shall reserve 5l20
acres of coal-bearing land in the Ber-
ting river field and 1880 acres in the
Mantanuska field, to be mined at the
direction of the president for govern
ment work, construction and opera
ton OF government railroads for the
navy, for national protection and for
relief from oppressive conditions.
Unreserved coal lands would be
leased for not more than so years in
40-acre blocks, in no case exceeding
1850 acres and in any one tract, at a
royalty of from cents to cents a
ton and 25 cents an acre for the first
and second years, SO cents an acre for
the third, fourth and fifth years and
81 an acre thereafter, the rentals to be
credited against the royalty.
Leases for purely local needs would
be made in tracts not to exceed 10
acres to any one person or association
without royalty or land charge.
Should any of the lessees attempt to
monopolize the product or form part
of an unlawful trust or conspire to
control more than 1850 acres of the
coal lands, the leases would be for
feited by court proceedings. A provi-
sion would direct that no person en-
ployed underground should work more
than eight hours a day

states claim the Jones bill would be q
good thing for Washington and Ore

looks as II the senate will kill the bill.

for United States senator, each having
as high as 60 per cent of the total first

EIGHTH WEEK OF WAR.
GREAT BATTLE OF THE AiSNE
ENDURED FOR IA DAYS AND
END Is NOT YET.
FRENCHAND BRITISHADVANCE
Germans Trying Hard to Outflenk the
AlIies-Have Little to Gain From
Victory, but Everything to
Lose From Defeat.

The battle of the Marine lasted seven
days and ended in the rapid retreat OF
the Germans. The battle of the Aisne
has endured for IA days and the end
is not yet, but the French and British
have daily pushed the strong and stub.
born Germans further back. The first
offensive of the allies was a pitched
battle in the open, but their second as.
sault has virtually been war through
siege, an investment of German
series of Sebastopols on hundred.
fold larger scale, and their swift sue.
cess has been replaced with slow and
painful gains, as was inevitable from
the conditions of the case.
That the French and British have
advanced steadily in virtually every
quarter has become clear in the fort
nights perspective
The strategy and purpose of this bat
tie have become clear 1t is the OBJ
ject of each army to outflank the
other, simultaneously assaulting the
center and preventing reinforcement
of the menaced flank; to reach the
rear of the outflanked force; finally
to surround and crush it, cutting it's
communications and connections, or to
drive it back broken mob upon the
center of it's own army. The Germans
essayed to do this on the French right
along the Mouse and to pierce the
French center at Rheims, but failed in
both efforts. The French attempted
the same movement against the Ger
man right at the Disc and the Aisne
and against the German center north
of Rheims, and have almost succeeded
in both movements. They have wedged
themselves well into the German cen
ter east Of Rheims, between Rheims
and Laon, and have pushed the Ger
man right wing far northward and
somewhat northeastward. The battle
develops in the way that on the Marine
compelled German retreat. The Ger
man right is in iminent danger and
defeat when the whole German front
has already become wayy, not to say
wavering, would compel the entire
army either to stand permanently on
the defensive at the Belgian frontier
or to withdraw altogether from
France. The French and British army,
should it lose, can fall back again
on Paris.
The Germans have little to gain
from victory, for at best they can re-
sumo the offensive only at every dis
advantage, having their tremendous
task to do all over again; but they
have everything to lose from defeat
or drawn battle. With the allies the
consequences would be the reverse.
