The Rritish public seems well sat- tsfled with the result of tho battle so far as it has gome, but the military experts warr them that it 1s not over the French are holding the line of the Marne on sufferance, while the Ger- .mans are making some changes in their lines of communications. Among these experts it s considered that there is no rcason to suppose that the German army hos yet been fought to a standstill. Belgians Resume Aotivities, The distress of the German right wing, however, has given the little Belgian army another opportunity to do something and it is taking sdvan- tage of it by harassing the German reinforcoments which _are hurrying south to General Von Kluck’s assist- ance and elso to attack the German Ieft in Belgium. As only a few troops of the German linc arc left there, the Beigiane havo only to cope with the Iandsturm. Withdrawing Troops from Aisace. It is reported that Germany is with- drawing troops from Alsace, but whether they are for tho Prussian frontier or to support the armics which aro factng allles i westen France has not been disclosed. It is consid- ored likely, however, that the gencral stag will gather all the forces it can $o ger through the French forde east af Paris, either by the route they Rave been trying during the past week ~r through Luneville.

Servia Celebrates Viotory. Servia is celebrating another victory over Austria, having taken Semlin, just across the river from Belgrade. the Servian capital, which has been under an - intermittent bombardment ever. since the commencement of the war.

Sept. 11, 11.50 p. m.—The al- lles, following up their recent success- es with much ardor, today forced the German invaders to continue the re- tirement of their right flank and center from the east of Paris.

Autos Transport Troops. The government has ardered the commandeering of every automobile still in private hands for the purpose of transporting troops and munitions to the front. All the services of the commissariat to supply the allied ar- mies are working without a hitch.

All who have witnessed the combais agree that around the Marne five Germans were killed for every ally. The Germans tried desperately to cross the Marne FROM ARTILLERY FIRE. Many Bodies Found on the Fields in the Vicinity of Meaux. Paris, Sept. 11, 420 p. m—Some idea of how the Germans were harrassed by artillery fire during their retreat was obtained in a visit to the fields near Meaux, the scene of a severe fight vesterday. The German infantry had taken a position in a sunien road, on either side of which were stretched in extended lines hummocks, some of them natural and some the work of spades in tho hands of German sol- diers. Beside many bodies were 40 or 50 empty cartridge shells, while fragments of clothing, caps and knapeacks were scattered about. This destruction was wrought by batterles a littlo more than three miles distant. Strageling clumps of woods inter- vened between the batteries and their mark, but the range had been deter- mined by an officer on an elevation a mile from the gunners. He telephoned directions for the firing and through glasses watched the bursting shells. The sunken road was littered with bodies today. Sprawling in ghastly fashion, the faces had almost the same greenish gray hue as the uniforms worn. The road is lined with poplars, the branches of which, severed by fragments of shells, were strewn among the dead. In places whole tops of trees had been torn away by the artillery fire. e DENIAL THAT FRENCH HAD ORGANIZED SNIPERS.

Hartford, Conn., Sept. 11.—A special to the Times from East Haddam an- nounces the death In that town at his home of Wilbur . Comstock, past grand master of the grand lodge, F. and A. M, of Connecticut, and repre- sentative from Kast Haddam to the general assembly in 1905. Mr. Com- stock was stricken with paralysis on Thursday morning and died in the evening. He had been in ill health for a long time. Mr. Comstock was born in East Haddam Aug. 16, 1849. He studied at Wilbraham academy and for six years afterward was a salesman for the late firm of C. D. Boss & Son of New Lon- don. Since 1889 he had been in the insurance business in Fast Haddam. He was for many years a member of the famous Moodus Drum corps. He was a member of all Scottish Rite Ma- eonic bodies in this jurisdiction, also of Sphinx temple, Mystic Shrine, and grand master of Connecticut in 1913 He is survived by his wife. John L. Rutherford. Meriden, Conn., Sept. 11—John L. Rutherford, president of Foster, Mer- Ham & company and_commander of Merriam post, G. A.

Seymonr, Conn., Sept. 11.—Willlam Hummel, 9 vears old, while fishing from a bridge, fell into a pond near here today and wae drowned. Al- thoush he was pulled from the water less than ten minutes after the acci- dent, efforts to resiscitate him proved of 2o avail. necessary to clear the foreign ex- change situation. It is understood that Governor Ham- lin shall ask James B. Forgan, chair- man of the committee of bankers which drafted the $150,000,000 pool plan, if his committee desire to sug- gest changes as a result of the action of the New York banks. While it is thought improbable that the commit- tee will wish to alter the principle of an underwriting pool, it may advise that the New York banks be left out in any preparations made to care for the European debts of the rest of the country. Members of the reserve board have heard indirectly that the Bank of En: land has taken kindly to the bankers plan and stated its willingness to aid. This is taken to mean that the Bank of England will accept the proposal to deposit $25,000.000 of American gold in its branch in Ottawa, Canada, to meet some of the pressing obligations, BRITISH CAVALRY IS SHORT OF HORSES. Continental Armies Have Been Buying Pick of Them for Years. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) London, Sept. 2—Shortage of cav- alry horses is causing British army official; much uneasiness. Fox hunting in England and Ireland has encouraged the breeding of light mounts, but unfortunately officers from continental armies have visited the leading English and Irish fairs for years and bought the most select saddlers. Belgium and France have thought nothing of paying $300 for a sultable mount for an officer, while buyers for the English army have sel- dom been authorized to pay more than $200. Furthermore, the foreign buyers have paid a higher price for three year olds than the English buyers would pay for four years old, the age de- manded by the English army. Germany, Italy and Austria have an- nually sent officers to England to pur- chase fine mounts. The English papers yery frankly admit the continental cavalry officers are far better judges of horseflesh than buyers for the Eng- lish army and have added superior Jjudgment of horseflesh to their ability to pay higher prices. In addition to ‘buying desirable mounts in Ireland, the continental ar- mies have also imported many high class mares from Ireland and used them in bringing up the standard of their romount stables. A general movement has been in- augurated by the press for the con- tinuation of fox hunting in spite of the war, as such is declared to be neces- sary for the insurance of the supply of cavalry horses in the future. The gov- ernment is also urged to keep all the mares it possibly can in England in connection with the home defense, sending geldings to the sceme of the war. A movement is also under way for the establishment of nation studs in_connection with the work of army reorganization. Trolley Smashed Team. Cheshire, Conn., Sept. 1l—Sidney Mathews of South ¥nd, Southington, was sent to the Meriden hospital today seriously hurt from having been in a peculiar accident.
