London. Sept. 29.-Desperate fight
ing continues in northern France,
where the allied French and British
armies are at grips with the German
forces in what is characterized MS the
crucial action OF the sixteen-day battle
of the Alsne.
Beyond admitting this fact the Off.
cial statements are vague. Few de-
tails of the struggle which may be the
turning-point in the western campaign
have been given out. One sentence in
which there is mo change in the situ-
ation." epitomizes the official reports
from London, Paris and Berlin.
The allies claim to have made slight
advances here and there, notably on
the heights OF the Meuse. The Ger
man official statement, however, de-
clares that reports concerning vic
torious advance of the enemy are un-
official statements refer to the vio-
lence of the attacks made by the Ger
mans. who seem to have redoubled
their efforts in an attempt to hurl back
the allied line. The reports indicate.
however. that the French and British
have given no ground before the on
slaught OF the invaders. A very rigor-
Gus censorship has evidently been i'm
posed at virtually all points, particu-
larly in London, regarding the opera
tions at the front. as very little news
is being permitted to come through.
The war officials probably hesitate
to raise the hopes Of the people with
out some decisive result having been
attained and fear that the publication
OF even the smallest details OF the op-
erations might be of aid to the Ger
mans.

themselves with the Servians in the

Washington. - American producers
Of quicksilver, as a result of the Euro
pean war, have now an excellent Op-
portunity to capture the trade with
Central and South America and with
the Orient from Japan to India, ac-
cording to the geological survey.
1t is stated that the Austrian produc.
tion of quicksilver. controlled by the
government. apparently is cut off from
the worlds markets and the italian
supply is regarded as uncertain. The
| Spanish output Is controlled mainly In
London and 1t is said that II this domi
nation continues little metal will be
free. for a time at least, for the for.
eign trade.
1t is believed that large quantities OF
available European quicksilver will be
utilized Immediately in the manufac-
ture Of explosive caps for fixed ammu
milton for both small arms and artil
lery. the present military operations
being on such a large scale. Probably
only little American metal can be
imported by the countries involved in
the war.
Formerly a considerable amount OF
American quicksilver went to Hong
Kong from San Francisco, but the
Rothschilds are said to have controlled
this and all other markets OF the Far
East In recent years, as well as a
large part Of the South American
trade.
The chief quicksilver producing
state is California. with total output
OF 1854 TASKS In 1913 and total
yield valued at s95.9o2.s2s from 1850

OF the United States on Germany for

European war situation, and to the
fact that this country gets all Its 80

Summary Of EoentS.)

The battle of the Aisne river, i'll
north central France, which the
Germans and French-British, each
more than a million strong, have
been fighting since September II,
is yet indecisive. So far as mill
tary experts can see, neither side
has gained an appreciable advant-
age, though both have suffered
enormous losses.
Pursued from the suburbs of
Paris and from the battlefield of
the Marine river, northeast of
Paris, the German right wing, un-
der Gen. Won Kluck, entrenched
on the north side of the Aisne
river from the town of Com
piegne, on the 0ise river about
eighty miles northwest of Paris,
to the famous old city of Rhiems.
Then ii embattled its heavy artil-
lery in the foothills of the Arden
mes mountains north of Rheims.
Thus firmly placed, the Ger
mans have withstood the contin.
ual infantry and artillery as,
saults. They have lost only
about fifteen miles of ground
since the battle began. The Allies,
under Gen. French and Gen. Jof-
FIRE, are making a siege Of the
struggle. and they expect this to
be one of the deciding battles of
the war.
Decisive Turn Soon.
