He has created a feeling of the greatest cheer- fulness and confidence among the offi- cers and men by his absolute indiffer- ence to political and other infiuences a’ld by his desire to spare them sacri- ices.

Nish, Servia, via London, Sept. 21— An officlal communication reviewing the Servian campaign says: “The enemy’s attempt to cross the Drina on the Losnitza-Ratcha line has again failed and all the Austrian attempts to cross the Save on the Mit- rovitza-Shabatz front have also been unsuccessful.

Several Skirmishes in Villages Sur- rounding Antwe London, Sept. 21, 10 p. m.—A des- patch to the Central News from Ghent says that the Germans continue the bombardment of Termond, presumably ‘with the object of preventing a further Belgian sortle from Antwerp. There have been several skirmishes in and near the villages surrounding the Ant- ‘werp positions. The Germans have entrenched them- selves between Hofstade, 18 miles east of Ghent, and Sempst. The fort of Waelhelm has on several occasions bombarded these positions. The Germans also have taken up fortified positions at Gombloux and between Waevre and Louvain, TO PROTEST DESTRUCTION OF CATHEDRAL AT RHEIMS 1t ls Sald the Edifice Sheltered Large Number of Wounded Ger- mans, HAS DEVELOPED INTO SIEGE OPERATIONS Contending Armies Are Maneuvering for Outflanking Movements. T.ondon, Sept, 21, 9.55 p. m.—The un- paralleled struggle on the river Aisne ‘Wwhich commenceq about a week ago Saturday, hag developed into siege operations. The two armies, strongly entrenched, are carrying on an artil- lery duel, while the infantry makes attacks and counter attacks which are in the nature of sortles from a be- sieged, fortress, Occasionally one or the other gains & little ground, but it is so little that the opposing forces remain in their trenches or take up positions in new entrenchments immediately behind those which they are driven. It is now becoming the conviction of mili- tary men that nothing but outflanking movements can have any serious effect on either army. The Germans have, according to their own unofficial re- port, been strongly reinforced both on thelr right, where General Von Kluck is making such a stubborn stand in elmost impregnable positions on the hills north of Aisne, and in the center ‘where the Germans are making al- most superhuman efforts to recapture Rheims. It is probably the desire to recapture this town at all costs, be- cause of its importance as the key to important communications that will improve all their connections for at- tack or retreat, that has led the Ger- mans to continue the bombardment ‘which has resulted in the destruction of the famous cathedral, Severe Bombardment. This bombardment has been of the most severe kind and is being directed from Brimont, which the French ‘re- captured but lost again, and from other hills around the town, and is of deadly character. The French have brought up additjonal heavy artillery in an attempt té drive the Germans out of these hills, for until this is done the situation in the town must be_difficult, On the allies’ left the French re- port claims another advance on the right bank of the river Oise as ‘far 88 the heights of Lassigny, west of Noyon, which has been the center of will lodge a protest with all the pow- ers against the destruction of the cathedral at Rheims.

Last Official Details of Battle Were Given Out Last Thursday. London, Sept. 21, 8.00 p. m.—The pa- tience with which the British people await news from the war is as re- markable as it is unexpected. They know that the British troops have been engagell for a week in a terrible battle which is the culmination of all the fighting, and which has gone on, with two or three brief respites, since August 23. They know that the litfle British army has held the post of hardest fighting throughout and that the next roll of casualties will be heavy. Yet they appear to recognize that in- exorable military necessity imposes them these days of suspense and from newspapers and public little complaint is_heard. < The last official report revealing any details of the British operations was published last Thursday night. That report was not long and dealtt for the most part with scattered incidents of Field Marshal Sir John French's ad- vance against the German right wing. It dropped the curtain upon the eevents of September 14. The later official re- ports have been terse bulletins which enabled the newspapers only to draw fresh lines on their maps showing the progress of the battle front. These bul- letins have merely announced accomp- lished maoves in the war game like cabled reports of an international chess match. The government has made the coun- try understanding taht the require- ments of secrecy overshadow all other considerations and that the officers of the staff have no timé to spare for writing descriptions of the engage- ments.

The captains of the German steam- ers say they fear further trouble from the 150 Chinese stilli aboard their ships. They said the Chinese had re- fused to stay aboard any longer.

New York, Sept. 21.—Charles Gon- dorf—king of the wire tappers—and two of his gang were sent to state's prison this afternoon for swindling Eugene Adams, an English caterer, out of $4,650 in a fake pool room last July. Arrested Many Times. Gondorf was convicted last Thurs- day. He had been arrested many times ‘before on similar charges, but had that he had influence sufficient to re- sult in his acquittal this time. He was given a sentence of from five to ten years' imprisonment, and immediately thereafter his two associates, Charles Carbonell and Joseph Cohen, entered pleas of guilty. Carbonell was sen- tenced to serve from two to six years and Cohen from one to three years. Vietim Gave Up $4,650. Gondorf and his aides Induced Ad- ams to visit a fake pool room and to surrender to Gondorf $4,650 to be placed on arbet. At a signal Gondor('s companions outside the building raised a disturbance, simulating & raid by the police, in the belief that Adams would become frightened and run.

New Haven, Conn,, Sept. 21.—Atten- tion had been drawn in this state to the trial and conviction of Charles Gondorf in New York because he was understood to have been the leading spirit in the gang which swindled Wil- liam F. Walker, a_ bank treasurer of New Britain, who disappeared on Feb. 10, 1907, after taking about a half mil- lion dollars in cash and securities from the institution.

PRESIDENT PRAYERFULLY WORKING FOR PEACE For the Present He Will Take No Further Steps to Sound Belliger- ents. ‘Washington, Sept. 21.—While Presi- dent Wilson told his callers today that he was “prayerfully working for peace in Europe,” it is known that for the present he will take no further steps either to sound the belligerents or otherwise press the offer of the Amer- ican government to mediate. The pres- ident indicated that he was studying the best method . - most opportune time for the United States to exert its influence for a cessation of the conflict, The general view among adminis- tration officials is that none of the belligerents is receptive as yet to a discussion of peace terms and with a feeling of resignation the progress of the opposing armies is awaited. Officials of the state department is absorbed in questions of neutrality. Their labors will be lessened, however, through the announcement of definite rules governing merchant ships writ- ten by Robert Lansing, acting secre- tary of state and issued yestérday. The rules represent an advanced stand on the part of a neutral gov- ernment and are expected to serve as an important precedent in internation- al law. The - diplomatic representatives of Great Britain, France and Germany called on Mr. Lansing within the same hour today but on different missions. Hancl Von Haimhausen, councillor of the German embassy, introduced Bar- on Van Schoen, formerly secretary of the German embassy at Tokio. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambas- sador, formally delivered the protest of his govetnment against the burning of the cathedral at Rheims. The ambassador spoke with feeling as he explained the loss of the cath- e dral, “The building was so large, so colos- sal” he said afterwards, “that it could not be missed if it was aimed at, and loomed so high that without difficulty the Germans could have avoided hit- ting it. We French feel very strongly. its loss. It would be the same as one of your most precious buildings were destroyed.” . OVERCOME BY GAS < AND SMOKE IN TUNNEL.
