DECISIVE POINT
NOT YET REACHED
Correspondent Says Vital Issue
of War Rests on Allies Drive;
Will the Germans Hold ?
Special 10 The Tsicgrahh

London, Sept. so. - The authorized
correspondent at the British front in
France, Valentine Williams, sends a
long dispatch detailing some of the
features of the battle which started
Saturday and still continues. Refer
ring to the advance on Saturday ne
quotes several prisoners as saying that
the attack at Loos completely surprls-
ed the Germans. The prisoners de-
scribe the British bombardment as in
describable in it's ferocity and say that
the first thing they knew about the as
lsault was the appearance of lines OF
British troops pouring into the German
trenches.
The correspondent describes the
country about Loos, where the advance
of several thousand yards over front
of five miles was made as a typical
mining region. The flatness of the
land is broken only by numerous
slagheaps, pitheads and squalid vii
lagos surrounded by clumps OF trees
The writer says:
Stunning Blow
Through the splendid initial sue
cesses of the French in Champagne
and Artois the British in the BLACK
Country about Lens dealt the Germans
a stunning blow. The decisive mo-
ment in this mighty battle, which is
probably destined to figure as the
greatest conflict in history, has not yet
arrived. 1t is scarcely an eXaggera-
ton to say that the issue of the whole
war turns on the question whether the
Germans will be strong enough to
withstand the sledgehammer blows the
allies are dealing them at the three
breaks in the German line in Cham
pagne, in Artois and at Lens.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH
DERBYSHIRE DALES

One does not ordinarily associate
the idea of wild scenic beauty with
staid old England but. as matter of
fact. it is only necessary to stop off
among the Derbyshire Dales, on the
main line of railway between Liver
pool and London to be treated to a
view of retreat of nature as choice
as could be desired.
There is here a combination of pas
toral beauty, of rugged picturesque
ness, Of queer freaks of nature, of
historic charm that is found in few
places in the world.
The Dales are series of cosy val
leys tucked away among the rolling
hills of Derbyshire, smiled down up
on by thousand limestone cliffs,
nestles in a wealth of native verdure
From the hills come streams that
laugh through the sorges and make
music among the cottages.
The best known of these is Matlock-
dale which spreads out along the
river Derment. Matlock Bath is a
dream of village that is lost among
it's trees where the indisposed come
for careful treatment in it's medicinal
waters, W16Te IHe neTVe-WGdTy may
be ensconced in cottages among the
trees for rest, where society folk may
drink their tea or the outdoor Britor
crafty his love OF sport.
There arc ancient castles that frowT
down from the limestone ellis; there
are elaborate villas that scramble VI
mountainsides and find unique lodg-
ment; there are tourist hotels that
strive to harmonic themselves with
the surroundings; there are magnifl.
cent roads that invite the machine and
extend throughout the heart of Eng
land.
The hills abound in curious lime
stone grottoes that lead far under
ground and from the ceilings of which
depend many peculiar shapes made by
the lime water drips. Any casual OBJ
iect, as for instance, an old shoe, may
be cast beneath one of these drips
and il will soon become coated with
lime and appear to be sculptured in
stone. There are churches that speak
of centuries long passed, quaint viii
layes such as never cease to be OBJ
iects of wonder to men and women
from a nation that is newly made
from the wilds.
"England's Switzerland" is the
name which London applies to the
Derbyshire Dales.

the trend of the battle lies in Sir John
French's communique, showing that
although we drew the enemy's reserves
into action we were still able to hold
the greater part of the ground gained.
But the final issue of the battle will
not be decided until 1t is seen lhether
the Germans cannot only hold their
ground against further advance, but
can also regain the vitally important

ALBRIGHT EASY FOR PENN
Sbcerdi to ?hc Tclcgrr5n

Philadelphia, Sept. 80. - Pennsyl-
vania picked out something easy in
the Albright College team for its only
midweek game of the season. The
game yesterday resulted in a score of
SO to 0, and the size of the score is
meaningless insofar as it reflects the
strength of the Penn team. Albright
was so hopelessly weak in every de-
partment Of the game that the contest
did not afford really a practice scrim-
mage.
Pennsylvania ran up 20 points in
each of the first and second periods
and the other 23 were compiled in the
second naf of the game, when many
changes were made in the lineup to
allow more players a little exercise.
