London, Sept. 24, 9.30 p. m.—The heavy artillery continues to play a leading part in the battle of the Aisne, ‘which has now been in progress close on to a fortnight. With the greatest stubbornness, the opposing forces con- tinue to hammer away at each other from their well entrenched and strong- 1y fortified positions, but, up to the presént, without reaching any decision. Great Shells Being Hurled. _ Almost without a lull, great shells are being huried across the rivers, val- leys and plateaus stretching from tne River Oise in the west to the Meuse in the east'and thence southward along the whole' Franco-German bor- der, while the lighter guns play on the infantry lying in the trenches await- ing .an opportunity to deliver attacks and counter-attacks with, as tne ch official communication ' says, retirement on certain points and advance on others.” Battle Line Stretched to Westward: The battle line has stretched out further to the westward, the French left wing having made some progress in the direction of Neve, which lies to the northwest of Noyon. The latter plade a few days ago was the allies’ extreme left. A detachment has oc- cupied Peronne, which is still further north. ‘A report from German headquarters, dated Sept. 23fi says, however, that the efforts of the French to encircle the German right have not had any resuit. - French Claim Advance. The French also claim to have made ‘an advance to the northwest of Berry- Au-Bac,which 1s about the point where the German line crosses the Aisne; continuing southeast to Brimont, which has been the center of many vigorous attacks. Along the rest of the line, although there have been flerce en- gagements, in which both sides claim Victory, the situation is unchanged, except that, according to German ro- ports, the German troops have recap- tured Varranhes, department of tie Meuse, which the French took a few days ago. \ The French account of the battle compares it with Mukden. In the jat- ter case the tide of battle was turned by the arrival on the Russian right of Nogi's army from Port Arthur, which it had just captured, and the Russian left was aimost enveloped when Gen- eral Kuropatkin withdrew the grcat bulk of his army horthward, leaving the rear guard to fall into the hands of the Japanese. Denial of Russian Victories. . The Austrian general staff issues a denial of the reports of Russian vic- torles and the defeat of General Dankl's army. The Austrian forces, the report says, “have been concen- trated in a new position for eeveral days, but have waited in vain for'any serious Russian attack.” From other sources, however, it is reported thal the Russians have sur- rounded Przemysl and have got be- tween thot fortress and Cracow. It fmay be some days before another big Pbattle takes place there, as one Aus- trian_army is behind the forts of Prezemys] and the other is making its way to the remaining fortress of Cra- cow, while the Russians are takiag the smailler towns in Galicia under their wingz. Germans in Prussia Reinforced. A report which lacks official con- firmation says thet General Rennen- tlonals, irrespective of the men who have joined Kitchener's armies. GERMAN 'OFFENSIVE WAS EXTREMELY' VIGOROUS | At Westerly End of Line Along the Rivers Oise, Aisne and Woevre. f.e At the Battle Front, Sept. 24, (via Paris, 516 p. m.)—The German of- fensive was extremely vigorous today at the western end of the long line stretching along the rivers Oise, Aisne and Woevre. ‘ Allied Troops Reinforced. The allied troops whose gaps had been filled with freshly arrived rein- forcements, not only repeatedly thrust the masses of Germans thrown against them, but eventually carried out a successful counter-attack which resulted in the gaining of considerable sround and the definite capture of Peronne, about which town the fiercest engagement occurred. Victims of German Machine Guns. At one place the victims of the deadly German machine guns were counted in.hundreds, especially where the advance was across an open wheat field that recently had been harvested. Some men of a French regiment, which! was making a dash toward the German position when it was struck by the sweeping fire were found dead in the kneeling posture they had taken behind the sheaves of wheat and from Where they had emptied their maga- zines, intending to start a final rush and bayonet charge. 900 Buried in Single Trench, After the fight 900 dead: were buried in" a single trench six feet deep, the Germans being placed at one end and the French at the other. Further toward the east, near Ber- ry-Au-Bac, on the Alsne mnorth of Rhelms, there appears to be concen- trated a large German force which has Stolidly occupied strong entrenchments from which it is most difficult to dis- lodge them. Hereabouts the fighting has been of a desultory character with, however, a slight advance in favor of the allies. The men of both armies in this vi- clnity seem to be enjoying their rest. Invaders Active Near Verdun. On the eastern wing the Germans are tHrowing great energy and enor- mous masses of men against the French troops protecting the line of defensive forts above Verdun; but up to teh present these efforts. although costing immense sacrifices, have’ been vain and the French line remains in- tact. The military experts shower praise on General Jofire for the way in which his plans are carried out. Owing to the strictness of the censorship it is impossible to give an 1dea of the allies’ ultimate intentions. WIRELESS MESSAGE TO AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR.

Obregon replied that he would not do this un- Jess Villa ordered Maytorena's troops be placed under the command of Geu- eral Cabral, This Villa refused to do. “When Obregon remained firm In his stand, Villa became infuriated and ordered a guard to take Obregon out ana shoot him. Obreson fearlessly told Villa that if it was necessary for him to give up his life to obtain the paci- fication of his country he would gladly do so. Obregon's secretary cried out to Villa: “How can you shoot a dis- armed guest?” Raoul Madero added his entreaties and the execution daia not take place. " «Obregon is to be kept in Chihua- hua until Hill leaves Sonora with his troops. 1f Hill checks Maytorena, Ob- regon will be shot. Julio Madero car- Tes the order for the withdrawal of Hill's forces. Compiiance with it is the only way that the life of Obregon can be saved. (Signed) “ry.
