The flight of the British aeroplanes Was one, so far as distance is con- terned, that they were quite used to, as for some time the British fiying men have been put to the test. They bave made flights from Montrose, Scotland, to Salisbury, which is about the same distance as the round trip between Antwerp and.the Rhine fort- resses. 50,000 German Wounded.

Since the Beginning of the Battle of the Aisne. , Paris, Sept. 23, 6.06 p. m.—General offre, the commander-in-chief of the "rench army, is devoting much atten- ion to the western wing on the battle ine, where the fighting has been in- ‘essant night and day. The allies, mans a distance of nearly eleven miles, forcing them to seek a further de- fensive position on the plateaus and in the rough country, which, however, offer excellent opportunities for en- trenchment. Soissons Bombarded. The headquarters staff has been en- abled to make a long movement for- ward towards the north. The town of Soissons has n subjected to a fu- rious German bardment for nine days. The cannonade starts each day at dawn and continues until 8 o'clock in the morning. It then ceases and ‘begins again at 4 o'clock, continuing until 7 in the evening. The cathedral and nth;r buildings have been greatly a The German artillery is posted to the northeast of the town, while the r s occupy an emplacement to the southeast. There appears no necessity for the shells to fall on the town itself, as the French troops are stationed a considerable distance from it. i Noyon is also suffering from the gun fire, but, the fine cathe- dral up to the present has escaped. Germans Yield Ground. Today's advance of the allied troops entailed very severe fighting, in which the artillery played a large part. The combat has lasted for 24 hours, but eventually the Germans yielded ground Jter amm%{iu a large I;Jumb;r vo; casualties, e allies were also hea Tosers: g&uy ambulance trains have left the front for provincial cities, car- rying German and French wounded. Large numbers of seriously wounded English officers and men have been transported to the American and other hospitals in Paris. Among the killed today was General ‘Dupuis, commander of the 67th in- fantry brigade. > { Correspondents Arrested at Rheims. Eight American and British corre- sponderts arrested at Rheims on-Mon- day for visiting that city without leave have been released through the inter- vention of the -American ambassador, Myron T. Herrick. The military gov- ernor of Paris announced, today, how- ever, that anyone using a temporary pass for leaving Paris to penetrate the fighting zone would be subject without exception to a severe penalty. This is & precaution against spies, who appear to be numerous and adroit. . A resi- dent of Maubeuge, who has just es- caped from that town, says that city during the siege was full of secret German agents. . The French discov- ered a subterranean telephone which was being used by a German emissary to inform the German officers of the French dispositions. Every sortie of the garrison failed because the Ger- mans_were ready, having apparently been forewarned. PARIS REPORTS LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SITUATION Of Battle of the Aisne, Now in Pro- gress Eight Days. Paris, Sept. 23, 11:16 p. m.—The French ’ofl\cla.l communication issued tonight, after announcing that there has been no change in the situation on the battle front since the issuance of the previous communication makes sdme comments on the battle of the Aisne, The text of the announcement follows: Should Cause No Surpri “There has been no change in the situation since the last communication. The battle which is in progress along the Aisne has extended over eight days, but it should cause no surprise if one recalls the Russo-Japanese war. The battle of the Marne was an ac- tion undertaken in the open field which began with a general resump- tion of the offensive by the French army against the enemy who did not expect it and had not had time seri- ously to organize defensive position. The same cannot be said of the bat- tle of the Aisne where the adversary who was retreating, stopped and_took positions which Dy the nature of the ground are very substantial in them- selves in many places and which he has been able gradually to improve as to organization. “This battle of the Aisne therefore, presents on a large part of its front, the character of war by assault simi- lar to the operations in Manchuria. Artillery Evenly Matched. “It might be added that the ex- ceptional power of the artillery fac- ing each other—the heavy Gernfan ar- tillery against the French 7.5 centi- metre cannons—gives a particular value to the temporary fortifications Wwhich the two adversaries have dawn up. “The task is therefore, to take whole rows of entrenchments, each one protected by very close defences, particularly rows of barbed wire, with mitrailleuses in oconcealed positions. “In these circumstances progress of necessity must be slow. It often hap- pens that the progress of the attacks only amounts to from 500 metres to one kilometre a day.” French Batteries at Antivari. Bordeaux via Paris, Sept. 23, 3:40 p. m.—At a cabinet meeting today the minister of marine announced that batteries of heavy artillery had been landed by the French squadron at An- dnce the beginning of the battle of he Aisne, have pushed back the Ger- tivarli and had been emplaced at Mount Loviehn, north of Cettinje, from which they would bombard the forts of the city of Cattaro. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS REPORTED WOUNDED. Red Cross Agent Says Many of Them Lie in Trenches. New York, Sept. 23.—The number of wounded in battle in Europe is already in the hundreds of thousands, the hos- pitals of Paris and Berlin and cottages on the battlefields and churches are filled and many other wounded lie exposed in trenches, according to Er- nest P. Bicknell, national director of the American Red Cross, who arrived here today on the steamship Olympic from Liverpool. Mr. Bicknell, who left New York on the battleship Tennessee, the American vessel which carried gold to Americans in need in Europe, spent several weeks observing conditions in countries at war. thfiomda‘ reports give little definite information of the losses, but the num ber of wounded is already in the hun- dred of thousands.” Mr. Bicknell said. “The truth is that over the thousands of square miles already battle-swept, there have been left almost countless thousands of men _helpless from ghastly wounds. Some have been gath- erd into trains by the Red Cross sur- geons and nurses and taken to hospi- tals in the larger cities. Into Paris and Berlin thousands have already been brought, and one by one the hos- pitals have been filled, public and pri- vate buildings have been utilized for the wounded, but still the numbers in- crease. “Some of the wounded were taken into cottages on the battlefields and the churches, but siill there are thou- sands who lie in the trenches and in the fields, suffering from thirst and exposure. ‘?Igt‘ no man imagine the American Red Cross can do too much or enough. Nurses and surgeons are needed more and more, and also medical and hos- pital supplies.” BRITISH NAVAL AIRMEN MAKE DARING RAID Against the German Zeppelin Airship Base at Dusseldorf. London, Sept. 24, 12.35 a. m.—The squadrons British naval airmen made a raid yesterday from Belgium against the German Zeppelin airship base at Dusseldorf and . Co- logne. The attack upon Dusseldorf was officially reported as having been suecessful.. Lieut. C. H.-Collett drop- ped three bombs there on a Zeppelin shed, sweeping down to within 400 feet of his target. The attack on Cologne apparently failed of its object, as the official an- nouncement fails to mention it. An Antwerp paper, however, says that four bombs fell on the Zeppelin camp at Pickerdorf and set fire to the hangars. X \The squadrons making the raid into ‘Germany are believed to have consist- ed of five aeroplanes with a navigator and an assistant in every machine. The novel expedition started from an un- mentioned base. The weather was misty, which: assisted in the secrecy of its approach to the intended scenes of operation. It is thought in some circles that the weather conditions may have caused a hitch in the sched- ule of the aeroplanes and that it is possible that the two bombs which were dropped on the Dutch town of Maastricht, near the German border, Tuesday, from a mysterious alrcraft, may have come from one of the British fliers, Fortunately no fatalities re- .t!:lnle:d from the explosions in Maas- cht. CHINA UNABLE TO ENFORCE NEUTRALITY. Disclaims Responsibility for Landing of Japanese Troops in China. Peking, Sept. 25, 1:45 a. m.—The protest of any against the landing of Japanese troops in China, disclaimifig_responsibility for the, vio- lation of her neutrality, which/ she says she is unable to defend. In its reply the foreign office argues that the Russians exacted no compensation from China for the consequences of the Russo-Japanese war. Accordingly China_denies any liability for permit- ting Japan to violate her neutrality inasmuch as there is no way in which she could prevent it. Mail advices from Tsim where the correspondent is not allowed b ythe Japanese to telegraph states under date of Sept. 17: “Skirmishes continue between mount- ed'scouts. The Germans have dyna- mited the railroad bridge between Tsing-Tau and Kiao-Chow.” The railroad east of Wei-Hsien in Shan-Tung has been taken over by the Japanese who made prisofiers of the railway officials and employes. The Japanese have also captured a number of Austrian marines who were proceeding to Tsing-Tau. It is be- lieved that the Chinese are operating the remainder of the German-owned railway extending towards Tsinan, 125 miles west of Wei-Hsien. SERVIAN TROOPS HAVE RECAPTURED LIUBOVIA. After Violent Fighting in Which Loss of Life Was Heavy. London, Sept. 23 6:50 p. m—A des- patch to the Reuter Telegram Com- pany from Nish says that Servian troops have recaptured.

London, Sept. 23—XA despatch to Reuter’s Telegram Company . from Rotterdam says it is stated that the missing Dutch steamer _Automaat, bound from Grimsby for Rotterdam, foundered. A Swedish gteamer has landed at Gothenburg, the sole sur- vivor of the Automaat's crew of ten men. The Automaat was a vessel, of 1,107 tons and was built in 1904. ASIATIC CHOLERA AMONG SOLDIERS IN HUNGARY. Anmnumcnt‘Hn Created Apprehen- sion in Dual Monarchy. Venice, Sept, 23, 1.40 p. m., by way of Paris, 6.35 p. m.—Nine cases of Asijatic cholera have been discovered among wounded soldiers in Hungary, according to an official announcement by the Hungarian minister of the in- terior. The announcement has excited great apprehension throughout the dual monarchy. It is also learned here that the first suspected case of cholera in Hungary was that of a wounded soldier who was brought on Sept. 15 to Bekescsala from the Galician battlefield. The bacterio- logical examination clearly showead Asiatic cholera. The patient immediately isolat- ed in the hope of preventing a spread of the disease. Since then eight other cases have been discovered alsp among the wounded who returned from Gali- cla. Onme case was found at Munkaos, another at 'Tokod (Tokay?) and six at Dumaszerdahely, in Pressburg, imme- diately on the Austrian border,. within an_hour’s ride of Vienna. Both Austrian and Hungarian min- isters of the interior are taking the utmost precautions against a spread of the disease. Vienna is awaiting with keen anx- jety news of the progress of the fight- ing against the Russians and Servians, but nothing is forthcoming beyond the bare official statement that there are no new developments in the eastern theatre of the war. Emperor Francis Joseph received Count Von Berchtold,' the foreign min- ister, in long audiences daily. A ses- sion of the council of ministers last Sunday lasted for nearly five hours.

CLAYTON BILL READY FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION, Conferees Agres Upon M bining Features of Sena Bills. ‘Washington, Sept. 23.—The Clayton anti-trust bill, second of the adminis- tration trust legislation measures, Is at last ready for final consideration of congress after many months of delib- eration in both houses. Conferees agreed upon their final report today, completing a measure that is a com- bination of features of both senate and house bills. 3 Primarily the bill would, as urgently suggested by President ‘'Wilson, punish individual officers or corporations vio- lating the trust laws of the country. This section would provide that any director, officer or agent of a corpora- tion violating the anti-trust laws, or who might aid or counsel such viola- tion, should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both.

Mr. Golden said the resignation had just been sent to Governor Walsh, Why the French Cabinet Resigned FORCED BY PRESIDENT TO PLA- CATE KITCHENER. AVERTED SERIOUS CRISIS Trouble Precipitated by Governor of Lille, Who Failed to Respond With | Reinforcements When British Forces Were Badly Pushed. New York, Sept. 28.—The failure of the military governor of Lille to give reinforcements to the British forces at @ timme when they were in danger of annihilation during the battle of Mons, and the resultant protest of Lord Kitchener, Great Britaln's secretary of war, made to President Poincare, brought about the recent resignation of the French cabinet, according to Dr. Fred S. Mason of New York, who ar- rived here today on the Olympic. Dr. Mason while in France was al- lowed to visit the hospitdl at Camp Marlborough, Boulogne, sur Mer, by Surgeon General Linden Bell of the British expeditionary force. He also visited various other hospitals pre- pared for the wounded at Boulogne, Trouville and Havre. At Boulogie General Bell introduced him to a well- informed official of rank. The follow- ing is a report of the facts as the of- ficial is said to have stated them (o Dr. Mason: Disregarded British Appeal. “When a force of about 100,000 Brit- ish under General French were op- posed by over twice that number of Germans of General Von Kluck's army at Mons, General French saw that he was in a desperate situation. After the first day of fighting, when It was seen that the overwhelming force of Germans threatened to surround the entire British expeditionary force, Gen- eral, French made an earnest appeal to General Joffre, commander of the French troops, requesting support on the left wing, where the British were entirely alone. Joffre wired instruc- tions to the governor of Lille to send his garrison of 40,000 men to support the British forces. It appears, how- ever, that the governor put the tele- gram in his pocket for 48 hours, in order, he said, to allow the women and children to evacuate Lille, and this nearly brought about a defeat of the allies, and was certainly one of | the main’ reasons why they were|lyn obliged to retreat toward Paris. The British managed to cut their way out of the German trap by almost super= human effort and at tremendous loss. They were in full retreat away from ‘Mons when the reinforcements arrived. Bitter Complaint by General French. “Although General French made cas- ual mention of the alleged failure of the French forces to assist him in his official report designed for publication, he sent a complete report and a bitter complaint direet to Lord Kitchener, saying that the faflure of the French to answer his plea put his whole army in jeopardy. Kitchener Was Furious, “Lord Kitchener was furious. He made a secret trip to Paris and laid his complaint against the dilatory gov- ernor of Lille before President Poin- care and the French minister of war. ‘The latter, who was a friend of the general complained against, refused to punish him. President Poincare, how- ever, to make every concession to Lord Kitchener, forced the resignation of his whole cabinet. This was on Aug. 28, about a week after the battle of Mons. A very serious crisis in the affairs of the allies was thus averted and Lord Kitchener triumphed in his demand. The governor of Lille has been sent to an obscure post of duty.’ ENGLAND GETS OFFERS _OF ASSISTANCE FROM INDIA Tribesmen are Anxious to Help the British Soldiers. London, Sept. 23, 10:50 p. m.—Offers of assistance from the many states ot India continue to pour in. The vice- roy reports that contingents of the imperial service troops have already ireen accepted from fifteen states and that similar offers from ten other states will be accepted if the need arises. The joint offer of four other states, the viceroy adds, is under con- sideration. The tribesmen of Kurram and Swat Valley are anxious to participate in behalf of the empire and various ma- harajah and Arab chiefs in the Aden hinterland have expressed their loyal- ty and desire to be of service. The maharajah of Gwalier' has donated |2 $110,000 for motor cars and transports and $25,000 for the relief of the Belgian sufferers. SIS AMERICAN MARINES QUELL RIOT IN VERA CRUZ. Started by Group of Constitutionalists Who Disobeyed Patrols’ Orders. Vera Cruz, Sept. 23, 10:30 p. m.— American marines tonight quickly put down an incipient riot here. A group of constitutionalists who had entered the city were requested by the patrols to move on. They refused to obey the command and were then forced to comply. A crowd gathered and offensive re- marks were hurled at the Americans. Immediately marines under Captain Hooker moved into the midst of the throng and scattered it. Orders Were Given to Spare Cathedral New York, Sept. 28—Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States, received the fol- lowing wireless despatch from the German foreign office at Berlin: “The German government stands officlally in contradiction of the Havas Agency re- port that the German artillery pur- posely destroyed important buildings in Rheims, that orders were given to spare the cathedral by all means.” Lineman Fatally Injured at Waterbury.
