Cannon MOw Down Enemy.

British Headquarters in France, Sept. 1. (Reuter's) s)--Epemy rear guards yesterday succeeded in engag- ing the British advancing troops here and there and in fighting delaying actions which were usually of short duration. But they did not check the galloping up of our batteries which frequently fired at point blank range into the struggling columns re- treating to the eastward.
 In the rapidity of his withdrawal the enemy did not have time to des- Canal Du Nord and last night our patrols were reported by airmen to be holding two bridges well in line With the British advance.
 British troops appear 10 have reached the outskirts of Moeuyres where stiff fighting is probable, as at that point the front and support trenches of the IIindenburg line are linked up by q redOubt which covers about q square mile. But as Buissv and Inchy arc held by the British it should not be difficult to turn tbe position by coming down the roar Of the enemy.
 During the day the British third army rounded up 1.966 prisoners and g field guns Farther north the Canadians and English collected an. other 72o prisoners.

ARTISAN AND SOLDIER
 DISSIPATE HUN VISION
Industry and Armies End Dream of Conquest,
 Readings Message.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The Prussian dream of world mastery has been banished by industrial achievements as well as by the courage of armed forces, Lord Reading, British ambas- sador to the United States, said in a message read by Colville Barclay, Brit ish charge d'affaires here, at the United States government war expo siton today. celebrated as British Day
 "1 feel certain that your exhibition adequately represents the immense cf- forts of the Allies and America" the ambassa dor's message read. "It will serve 10 illustrate to everyone the mar yellOHs success with which inventors manufacturers and workers turned from the arts of peace and adapted themselves to altered conditions when the call came.
 For years Gernany has been se- cretly making and storing vast ac- Cumulations of every engine of war and article of equipment, confident that by this means she could at jher chosen time obtain world mastery.
 The industrial achievement of mill limos of patriotic men and women, to- lions of patriotic men and women, to- bined armed forces has baniShed* that Prussian dream and if in the strenu ous months before us, we all drive ahead and work hard and fight hard, the time will be brought nearer when Germany will be definitely and de- cisiVely beaten. Then the world will be remodelled on the cardinal princi- ples of justice, security and freedom; and force, violence and autocracy will be swept aWay.'

Amsterdam Sept. 1.-The German idea of victory as defined by the Ger man Grown Prince. ia an interview published in the Budapest Az Est, is an intention ito hold our own and not let ourselves be Vanquished.' The Crown Prince is quoted as saying that this was clear to him the moment England entered the war.
 The Grown Prince denied that he was a fire eater" and continued:
 If Germany had wanted war we should not have chosen this moment No moment could have been more un- favorable for Germany"
 In reply to the question as to how he thought the end of the war would come he replied:
 "Through the enemy perceiving the colossal stake which they are not equal to the winning, and that they cannot win as much as they are bound to lose.'
 In discussing the present operations on the western front the Grown Prince said:
 "The enemy attacks and the with drawal on our front at several places is often wrongly interpreted in some circles. Some of our people are too accustomed to a continuous advance and when a battle occurs wherein the enemy attacks and we have to defend ourselves, the situation not always is correctly understood. Tn judging the situation. both military and political, We must never forget one thing-thut we are Waging a war Of defense. The war is one of annihilation only for our enemies, not for us. We want to anni- hilate none of our enemies. We mean, however, to hold our own" Regarding tho American forces in FraDce the Grown Prince said
 ve found that the ma jority don't know what they are fighting for, but We feel of course the effect of the entry of the Americans. They have sent over very much material and now are sending very much human ma terial."

Crown Prince Issues Peace Feeler By
 Saying Germany Does Not Contemplate
 Crushing Peoples Opposing Her in War

I've speak openly of victory" the Crown Prince said. The word Vic- tory must not be understood to mean that we want to annihilate the enemy but only that we mean to hold our own and not let ourselves be van quished The moment England entered the war that was clear to me and I always emphasized it."
 Whom the interviewer remarked that the Crown Prince was considered abroad as fire eater" he answered:
 T am aware of these accusations. DO I need to say that not a word of them is true"
 Revcrting to the question of what nation wanted the war, he declared it was clear that England would take advantage of the opportunity"
 Belgium fter all was only a pre- text" he continued England inter vened because German competition was unhearable.
 We are fighting for our existence I repeat our aim, therefore, can only be to safeguard ourselves
 The enemy assault doubtless will continue for some time" the Crown Prince said with reference to the fighting on the western front, "but our enemies must themselves see that they will not be able to attain their aim. Our troops are fighting splend- idly and I attribute to their courage that such colossal superiority in strength does not crush us''
 Discussing the fighting qualities of Germanys enemies, he said:
 ''The French fight brilliantly and are bleeding to death. They do not hesitate at any sacrifice. With the English, the individual man is very good and tenacious, but the leader ship is deficient. Among the Aneri- cans I've found that the majority do not know what they are fighting for. I asked an American prisoner what they were fighting for and he an swered: For Alsace' and to the ques- ton: Where is Alsacc?' he replied: It's a big lake,

Attendance Is Only HaIi of Usual
 Number, Principal Says
OFFICES TAKE MANY GIRLS
Only 73 in Entering CIass-Fnumcra- tion of Pupils in Graded Schools Totals 7,s9G-1, ,252 On High school Registration.

Principal Marcus White of the New Britain Normal school stated this afternoon that the enrolment of young women to study to become teachers is only about half as many as usual this year. The Normal School opened for the fall term this morning and the entering class num- bered only 73. The number of senior students who have returned to com- plete their course of training is only about 65, making the total regiotra- ton at the school approximately 13S.
 Principal White, in commenting upon the enrolment, said that this years enrolment is "Very low" and that the number of senior students is likewise below the standard of past years. In fact he said that the total enumeration this year is only about half of what it has been in the past.
 Many Girls Entering Offices.
 Various reasons have been put for ward to explain the gradual decline of the number of young women who ate training for teachers. During the past two years tho number has decreased to an alaming extent. In d large measure this is due to the war. Many young girls just graduating from High school, instead of pursuing their edu- cation further and becoming teachers, prefer to enter the offices of some cf the large insurance companies or fac tories, or to enter some other line of business where they believe the pe- cuniary consideration will be more alluring than at school Particularly is this true since America entered the war The drain of the man power of the state has left many positions va cant that were heretofore filled by men. Now women are being sought for these OCupatiOns and as in many cases the wages paid are of the war time variety, large numbers of girls have decided to cast their lot with the business interests rather than to travel along the educational paths One par tcular instance has been brough; 10 attention where one young woman con- sldered capable instructor in a school in this state, has resigned her position to become affiliated with a. large munitions manufacturing con cern at salary said to be $1,300 per year.
