BATTLE OF AISNE BECOMES GIGANTIC ARTILLERY DlJEL. WITH GERMANS DEFENDING
north of VllIe-sur-Tourbe and from
there throiigh Verennes ln'tho northern
part of the Argonne region to Mouse,
north of Verdun.
General Galllenl, the Military Gov
ernor of Paris, declared that dis
patches to the military authorities
here from the front show that the al
lies have been gaining ground since
the light opened, although slowly.
VON KLUK SURROUNDED,
SAYS LONDON DISPATCH
LONDON, Sept. 17.
Germany is striving desperately to
resume the offensive In France, but
so far every effort has been nullified
by the fierceness of the British-French
attack. This fact was emphasized at
the Foreign Office th1 afternoon,
where, it was also stated that the gen
eral battle continues, with the slight
advantage so far noted entirely In
faver of the allies.
The' German forces are being heav
ily reinforced fill nlon,? the line.
Troops withdrawn from the Prussian
border and all of the rtrst line regi
ments that previously had been held
in Germany and in Belgium are being
rushed to the front in France.
Especially is the army of the Crown
Prince being hammered, "- already
his battle line has been forced back
between 'eight and twenty miles nt
various points He is reported slowly
falling back on Stenay and the fa
mous Stenay cap.
Sweeping 60 miles north of Paris,
a French army commanded by Gen
eral D'Amade is striking at the rear
of the German right wing in a . at
tempt to cut General von Kluk's army
off from the main German forces, ac
cording to reports that reached Lon
don today.
There Is a possibility that the aim
of General D'Amade's army has al
ready been accomplished. A corre
spondent telegraphing from Amiens
says:
"The Gernmn right wing Is encir
cled. I was able to Join friendly
French Jioimves a little south of Po
ronne. Near there a French battery
was in action about '00 yards on our
left."
Peronne Is 62 mites southwest of
MAtibeug and IB mites west-northwest
of St. Quentln. If Maubouge Is
uncaptui'Pd, as the French Govern
ment Insists, a sortie of ' garrison
there in co-operation with the attack
of General D'Amade's army would put
General von Kluk in a perilous posi
tion, from which he might be unable
ti extricate himelf.
A dispatch sent by Geoffrey Young
to the Daily News from Amiens says
it is reported there that General v n
Kluk's army has been surrounded, and
then continues:
"His right has been overlapped by
an army advancinc from riouen and
passing through Amiens, whieh led to

A Pctrograd dispatch to the Matin says
that the Russian army Is reported to

fortress on the river Pan.

be obliged to take a last stand at Cra

The War Otllce at Pctrogrnd has ie
celved Information that the Austrlans are
concentrating at Cracow and that they
will have the nsslstance there of German
forces that could not bo sent forward
Into Eastern Gallcla. It Is stated, how
ever, that no opportunity Is to be given
the Austrlans, who have been so badly
defeated, to retire In order from the San
river positions. Instead, the Russians are
crossing the river In force and planning
a general attack on the flanks of the re
treating Austrian armies.

MERLIN (by wireless io Sayvllle, L. I.),
Sept. 17.
The War Office announced todav that
It had received advices from Vienna
showing that 1S0O Gnllclan traitors had
been arrested 'and taken to Gratis In
Sty Ha, where they are now held awaiting
sentence. They are reported to have con
fessed and to have admitted that they
were paid by Russian agents to signal the
positions of the' Austrian armies,
In support of Its charges of vtlleged
cruelties by the Russians the War Ofllce
declares that lieutenant Tledemnnu, of
the Fifth Prussian cuirassiers, found 21
Oei man lecrults lying helpless on the
highway. They had been surprised nt a
point In Knst Prussia the day before by
Cossacks who had In some cases severed
hands at the wrist, In others the feet
below the knee, and In still others had
cut off ears and noses. One Russliu of
ficer who wa captured had cut off a
woman's finger with a valuable ring on
It nnd It was found In his pocket.
The rnmmnlider of the 11th German
army corps, the War Ofllce says, reports
that Russians have cut off the fingers
nnd hands of non-combatants. Officers
of the German l.nndwehr report the find
ing of 10 persons killed, Including one
woman, whose breasts had been slashed
off with a sabre.
The Wnr Ofllce says that reports re
ceived by It show thnt the commander of
the first French army published regrets
because French troops plundered the town
of Ramhervllllers on the Mortagnc, 16
miles northeast of Eplnal.
The Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts
agrees with the strong declaration In
the N'ord Deutscher Gazette against Ger
many's pretended weariness, and states
that the Social Democrats of Germany
desire peace onty In case Its permanency
can be secured.

King Albert led his army away from
Antwerp today for another offensive
movement against the Germans, while
Belgian volunteers are carrying on an ac
tive campaign In tho extreme northwest
ern part of HelglUm against t-'hlans who
are raiding Isolated districts In west
Flanders.
Fights are reported from Wnercghem,
St. Elol nnd Inglemunstcr, where the
Belgian volunteers were successful. At
Iscghcm ISO Belgians attacked 300 Uhlans,
who were ambuscaded In houses, 64 Ger
mans are reported to have been killed and
a number wounded, while 30 others wero
made prisoners. The balance fled.
The Belgians lost four men killed nnd
11 wounded.
Another German detachment Is reported
to have been defeated by Belgians near

men In killed nnd wounded and seven
wagons.
One hundred regiments of German In
fantry (about lOO.rO men) and artillery
forces with 40 guns passed through f,lege
toward France on Tuesday and Wednes
day. The Germans are withdrawing their
mnln forces and sending them Into
France In enormous numbers. But there
are no signs that they contemplate the
general evacuation of Belgium as those
withdrawn are Immediately replaced by
troops of the second lino and from the

A continuous stream of trains Is pass
ing through Aix la Chapclle carrying
fresh troops to the scene of ijattle In the

FRESH ARMIES FOR
SERYICE IN FRANCE
Lord Kitchener Announces
Movement of Territorials
and Praises Leadership of
Sir John French.
LONDON, Sept 17
Four more British armies, made up of
recruits which England Is now gather
Ing to the colors, will 'be sent across the
English Channel to fight the Germans.
Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State for
War, In addressing the House of Lords
this afternoon made this announcement.
The War Secretary said that the ter
ritorials already were on their way to
fill the over-seas garrisons.
At the present time, Lord Kitchener '
said, England had In, tho field moie than
six divisions of troops In addition to two
cavalry divisions.
In opening his address Lord Kitchener
spoke In the highest eulogistic terms re
gnrdlng Sir John French, British Com-mamler-ln-Chlef,
who, ho said, had met '
every difficulty presented ny the situa- '
tlon In a manner that proved his worth
as n .soldier. "
"Thanha to his superb leadership," ,
continued Kitchener, "the British army
has been able at all times to fight a Merit '
that has thrown tenor Into the enemy
Nothing has been wanting. His every
move has shown he has foreseen what
was to come and has so distributed his
forces that the strongest of German
blows have spent their weight without
bringing the disaster their authors had
planned.
"The latest advices from the front do
not change tho published statements. The '
government Is tnklng the people of the
nation Into Its conlldence so far as It 13
able. Every bit of Information that
pioperly can be made public Is published
"Our troops have met with the dlftlcul
ties of a hurd campaign with good heart.
They nre now waiting for the general
forward movement with a good heart.
"When the wind conies, England can
depend on her soldiers to give an ac
count of themselves of which all true
Englishmen will be pioud. '
"Although the struggle Is bound to be !
a long one England can look forward to ;
the final outcome with quiet confidence.
England now has In the field more than
six divisions of troops nnd two cavalry
divisions."
The statement by Kitchener that the
army In the field now consists of "more
than six divisions and two cavalry divi
sions" Is significant. It means that there
arc not less than 175,000 British now fight
ing In France and confirms the report
that the New Zealand and Indian troops
aie alicady In the line.
The regular British "expeditionary
ntmy," according to the regulations, con
sists of "one cavalry division and six dlvl
slons of the other branches of the ser
vice." Lord Kitchener says there are two
cavalry divisions In action, which maj
mean an entire division of Indian troops.
