LONDON, Sept. 5V.-The great
struggle on the western front has
now resolved itself clearly into a bat
tie for Lens, in Pas De Calais, nine
miles northeast of Arras. The cap
ture of this town. with its radiating
railways, would bring into the fore
ground the possibility Of retaking
Lille.
Both north and south OF Lens. the
allies hold high ground dominating
the town--the British on Hill No.
20, the French on Hill No. 140, the
high crest between Souches and
vimy. The official report from Paris
last night said merely that this crest
had been reached so that presumably
terrific counter attack is raging
there today. with final mastery OF
this important position at stake.
Rain. fog and soggy ground have
been hampering both the contenders
and limiting the activities OF air
craft. A few days of clear, dry
weather might have marked effect
on developments.
Offensive Thirty Miles Long.
The offensive OF the allies thus far
has been confined to stretches of the
front amounting to less than thirty

land Is that these attacks are only the
prelude TO what is coming. At any rate

CRUSH NEAR PANIC
AT VETERAN MEET
Scenes of Confusion at Reception
by President of Union
Soldiers.
CAMPAIGN ON FOR PENSIONS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.--Colonel
David ]. Palmer. commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic
announced today that the organiga-
tion was to make an effort to secure
proper" pensions for civil wal
nurses.
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles
deprecated the fact that many of the
veterans were forced to stand for
several hours before they took their
places in the parade yesterday, which
resulted in many cases of exhaustion.
Only four nominations for commander
in-chief were made at todsy's business
session. They were Elias II. Montfort
Cincinnati, and Frank G. Cole, Jersey
City, between whom the election is said
10 rest, and william J. Patterson, Pitts
burgh, and Captain Patrick Coney of
Topeka.
A formal invitation was extended at
the meeting today for the veterans to
attend the laying of the cornerstone of
the great memorial to the soldier dead
at the Arlington National cemetery to-
morrow President Wilson will lay the
corner stone and Commander-in-Chief
Palmer will speak. The memorial, which
congress appropriated $4,000 for, Is ex-
pected to be completed for dedication on
Memorial day, 1917.
Scenes Of confusion surrounded the
White House for nearly half an hour
today while several thousand members
of the Grand Army OF the Republic and
allied organizations sought TO gain ad-
mittance to the east room to shake hands
with the president. Several persons
tainted and were taken away In ambu-
lances.
Arrangements had been made for the
officers of the union army. members of
the Loyal Legion, ex-prisoners OF the civil
war and members of the Womens Relief
corps to meet the president. The report
became prevalent that everyone connected
with the various Grand Army Of the Re
public organizations would be received.
All the gates of the White House grounds
were besieged, the crowds extending sew
eTal blocks
Policemen guarding the gates refused
to honor any but those having badges
OF the organizations for which arrange
ments had been made. Added confusion
resulted from souvenir ribbons of the
Women's Relief corps, bearing the pic
ture of the chairman OF the local citi-
Gems committee worn by many men, who
believed the ribbons gave them admis-
sion. Some said they paid 25 cents for
the ribbons. '-4--'.
Secretary Tumulty heard OF the diff
culties and instructed the police to allow
members of all bodies allied with the
Grand Army OF the Republic to enter
the White House to meet the president.
General Bll Torrance. former Grand
Army OF the Republic commander-in-
chief. introduced the former officers to
the president.
In a short address Colonel Torrance
assured the president that the members
OF the Grand Army Of the Republic
stood solidly behind him in his conduct
of the foreign affairs OF the United
States.
