along its entire front, which extends from Noyon (on the Oise, 14
roiles northeast from Compiegne) to a point 14 miles north of Ver-
dun.
but the Allies’ position and condition are favorable. Several count-
er-attacks by the enemy have been repulsed. The enemy’s loss
was very heavy. The Allies took two hundred prisoners. This
is the substance of the war office despatches from Paris, At mid-
night it was stated that no further news had been received from
the front.

These engagements along the Aisne river have been in prog-
ress for several days. itis generally believed the Allies, who
have been greatly reinforced, will triumph over the ‘worn enemy.
The brunt of the fighting during the next two days will rest on the
Allies’ left wing and centre, The main hody on the left is. the
British force, which is now well supported.

Lord Kitchener returned yesterday from a visit to Paris,

Many reports of the starving condition of soldiers in the main
German army are being received.

The surrender of two Austrian armiesia regarded ag imminent,

A white paper issued by the foreign office contains the report
of the former British ambassador to Austria, which indicates that
the negotiations between Russia and Anstria were progressing
favorably and compromise seemed likely on July 31, when Germany
intervened with two ultimatums, followed within two days by de-
clarations of war.

Washington, Sept, 16—The commission sent by Belgium to pre-
sent charges azainst Germany waited on President Wilson today.
Afler hearing the report, which contains many pages telling of un-
speakable atrovities and barbarous conduct, the president inform-
ed the commission that it would be premature and inconsistent
with the neutral position of the government to express judgment.

London, Sept. 16:—The admiralty announce that submarine
E-9 has returned safely to the fleet, having torpedoed a German
cruiser six miles south of Heligoland. The ship was probably the
Hela, the loss of which was announced in Berlin yesterday,

Official reports from Petrograd say the rout of the Austrians
in Galicia iscomplete, Although full details nave not been received
the Austrian losses since the taking of Lemberg are estimated at] .
250,000 killed and wounded, 100,000 prisoners, 400 puns, many
colors and vast quantities of stores, ‘lhe Germans maie desperate
efforts to save the Austrian army, but failed completely. At one
point the Germans lost thirty-six pieces of heavy artillery, and at
another several dozen siege guns.

Despite efforts of the government at Rome, demonstrations
against neutrality continue in Italian cities. ‘There appears to be an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of the Allies.

Berlin despatches state that the German people were amazed
on learning of the retreat of their army, having been Jed to believe
that their legions were on the point of entering Paris, News of
conditions in France, with the Austrian defeata and the advance
in Germany of the Russian hordes have brought many German cities
to the verge of panic.

Brigadier General Neil Findlay i ig reported killed in action, -

The King today visited the London military hospitals, He
ordered that German wounded be given every attention, and was
informed that this was being done, .

London, Sept. 17:---A Paris midnight official despatch states
that the situation in France is unchanged from yesterday, An
earlier report says the resistance of the enemy on the Allies’ left
continues. On the Allies’ center, between Berry au Bac on River
Aisne and Argonne, the Germans continue to fortify. Between
Argonne and Meuge the enemy are entrenching, particularly near
Mont Faucon.

The Battle of Aisne is still raging between the Oise and Meuse
rivers, The Germans are slowly, but surely, yielding ground.
Between two million and three million men are engaged. A fierce
artillery duel is now in progress. - The line of battle is over a hun-
dred miles long, This conflict may be decisive in result.

What is called the ‘Phantom Army” is aiding the Allies on
the left, having already outflanked the German right wing, forcing
the enemy to abandon their entrenchments at Laon and La Pere,
Many believe this army to be Russians from Archangel, via Scot-
land.

It is officially admitted in Berlin that the Germans have aban-
doned Liege,

Russian armies continue to advance. The German forces
which were to aid the Austrians are retreating. Rumors of Aus-
trian peace proposals continue, The Kaiser is said to favor aecept-
ance of President Wilson’s mediation offer.

{he total German casualties, according te the. official Berlin
-report, were forty thousand.

A Saxon officer, who is a prisoner in France, says the German
artillery annihilated a Prussian regiment, believing it to be French,
j'wo battalions of the 28th German infantry, thinking each other
French, fought until all were out of action.

Lord Kitchener announced in the houge of lords that six divis-
ions of the. British expeditionary force are now in France, with
two divisions of cavalry, More will be sent. Canada will send
over forty thousand, in two contingents, | ,
