PARIS, Sept. 49, The en-
ormous armies Of Germany,
and the allies are seemingly
battling to q bloody draw
along the line from the Disc
to the Meuse. For five days
the French and British have
vainly tried to break through
the strong German fortified
lines. For the same length,
the Germans have yainly striv-
en- to resume the offensive.
Thousands Of men have been
killed. The wooded heights
and hills Of the champagne re-
gion are filed with the wound
ed Of both forces, their terrible
sufferings increased by the
cold rains which are sweeping
the battle field. But so far as
can be learned today, neither
side has scored a material ad-
vantage to date. The third
battle Of the war, and it is the
bloodiest, is still in the balance
with both sides constantly re-
inforcing their lines in the
struggle for mastery.
No statements Of casualties
are obtainable, but train after
train, filed with wounded,
pass around the city and hur-
ry south to the hospital bases.
Many officers of high rank
have been killed or wounded.
The majority of the wounded
passing through here are suf-
fering from shell wounds, in
dicating that the battle is still
in the nature of an artillery
duel. The fact that the French
are still on the offensive, nat
urally adds to the casualties.
