PARIS, Sept. 2.—The allies are engaged today jin a bloody battle with the German invaders. The allies” jleft rests upon Mont Didier, extending to the forests of Compeigne. Gen. Pau, the one-armed veteran of the Franco-Prussian war, had id of this French wing, and was co-operating with Gen, ~ ch, the British commander. The Germans’ heaviest infantry attack was at Mont Didier. In the forest of Compiegne, a force of German skirmishers, sr as an advance guard of the movement on Paris, is partly surroun and suffered frightfully from the French fire. ‘ The German attack began at daylight between Amiens and Vervins, the kaiser's troops trying to drive their way between the French and British forces. Their rapid firers, mounted on auto trucks, opened & murderous fusillade, but the French artillery was equally effective and mowed them down wholesale. The German aviators appeared utterly reckless, fiying low ovet, the allies’ lines in an effort to detect gaps in their ranks. Several ma chines were hit by French shots and crippled, the aviators being taken prisoners. y Each of the following dispatches f; various European capitals gives that nati views of the day's developments in the war.

ONE CENT De, be VOLUME 16, NO. 162. OF WASHINGTON NEEDS SHAKEUP There is need for new blood in the supreme court, not merely to replace such reactionaries as Judges Crow, Gose and Chadwick, but for a far more important reason. New blood is needed to notify the remaining mem- bers that they are not impregnable, and that they are not above the voice of the people. To re-elect Crow, Gose and Chadwick would be interpreted an endorsement of all nine members of the present court, and of every queer decision for which they are responsible. It would be hailed as an endorsement of the court’s veneration of “brick and mortar” as against human beings in the minimum wage case, as approval of the decision making a joke of the recall law, as an endorse- ment of the delay in the Furth case, and the delay which put $150,000 of state money into the pockets of the fish trust. It would mean an endorsement of the! habit of the supreme court to cut down the amounts of | jury verdicts given to the injured in damage cases.
