London, Sept. 23-The Afniens cor respondent of the Times telegraphs that heavy fighting is in progress not many miles, southeast of Anniens. He says:
 sIt is the beginning of a decisive phase of the battle of the Aisne. Upon the issue Of this fighting depends the continued occupation of French soil by the German invaders or of their retreat to strongly entrenched posi- tions which have been prepared for them on the Sambre.

IMPORTANT TURN IN BIG BATTLE
 OF AISNE AT HAND, IS OPINION


 s'@The enemy occupied Douai yester- day morning and seized the railway station at Souain on the line connect ing Douai with Yalenciennes. It a.p- pears, therefore, that the Germans are alive to the necessity of protecting their line of communications to Mons where, 2 hear, headquarters of the field army has been established. Thus the German line has been extended north from Cambrai which has been occupied in force.
 .tOn saturday and Sunday there was great military activity at Amiens- The nervous tension was extraordinary in expectation of some important deve1- opments along the lighting line. When we awolze this morning the streets were strangely silent and empty and nearly every soldier had left town the majority having hurried away to their posts to the southeast. We learned that a. great battle had begun in that direction and it was rumored that the German troops had advance. toward Mont Diedir. Every road {. at of Amiens was barred by pfckets and none was allowed to pass without mill itary authortty.''
