BATTLE OF AISNE BECOMES GIGANTIC ARTILLERY DUEL WITH 'GERMANS DEFENDING
ALLIES MOWED DOWN IN
FIERCE ASSAULT ALONG AISNE
Continued from fage 1
north of Vllle-sur-Tourbo and from
there through Verennea tn the northern
part of the Argonne region to Meuse,
north of Verdun.
General Galllenl, tho Military Gov
ernor of Paris, declared that dis
patches to the military authorities
here from tho front show that the al
lies have been gaining ground since
tho fight 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 th' afternoon,
where It was also stated that the gen
eral battle continues, with the slight
advantage so far noted entirely In
favor of the allies.
The German forces are being heav
ily reinforced all alon the line.
Troops withdrawn from the Prussian
border and all of tho first line regl
ments that previously had been held
In Germany and In Belgium are being
rushed to the front In France.
Especially Is the army if tho Crown
Prince being hammered, ' already
his battle line has been forced back
between eight and twenty miles at
various points. He is reported slowly
falling back on Stenay and the fa
mous Stenay gap.
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 Kink'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 German right wing Is encir
cled. I was able to Join friendly
French Zouaves a little south of Pe
ronne. Near tltcie n Fiench battery
was In fiction about ''OO yards on our
left."
1'ernn.io Is 52 miles southwest of
Mnubeug nnd IS miles west-northwest
of St. Quenlln. If Maubeuge Is
uncaptured, as tho Fiench Govern
ment Insists, a sortie of ' - gairlson
there in co-operation with the attack
of General D'Amnde's army would put
General von Kluk tn a perilous posi
tion, from which he might be unable
to extricate himself.
A dispatch sent by Geoffrey Young
to the Daily News from Amiens says
It is reported there that General vn
Klttk's army has been surrounded, and
then continues!
"His right has been overlapped by
an army advancing from Rouen and
passing through Amiens, which led to
the eastward -turn from Complegna
and his cvacuitlon from Amiens.

PLAK, IS-REPORT
Washington Hears Presi
dent's Second Mediation
Offer Has Been Accepted
by Emperor.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. There is a
persistent report In Administration circles
(hat Emperor William has accepted con
ditionally President Wilson' second
proffer of mediation, ,
These conditions are said to Insist that
German territory be preserved and Ger
man commerce afforded full protection.
President Wilson told callers he had re
relved an acknowledgment from the Ger
man chancellor, Von Bethmann-Mollweg,
of his recent note. Ho said It was ac
companied by non-commltal comment,
but did not go further than that ln dis
cussing It.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has not
communicated to this government hla
views on the timeliness of peace propo
sals nt the present time, according to
tho 'President.
BORDEAUX, Sept 17.
A Fournlor news agency dispatch from
Munich quotes the Neueste Nachrlchter
rb saying that Germany has empowered
the United States to Intervene with the
Belgian government for the purpose of
suggesting an armistice. The messnge at
tempted to give the proposed conditions,
but they were rendered unintelligible by
the censors.
v COPENHAGEN, Sept. 17.
The official newspaper, the Nord
Deutsche Allegcmelne Zeltung, says that
the stories from hostile sources that Ger
many Is Inclined to make peace and Is
tired of the war are entirely falBe.
"The German people will never lay
down their arms ln thlsi war," It says,
"without guarantees necessary to its fu
ture In the world of nations."
A military expert has Inquired directly
of the Krupps at Essex If 42 centimetre
guns (guns of a calibre of 16.5 Inche9)
exist. The Krupps' reply was that such
guns, transportable over land, have been
manufactured but that they regret they
are unable to give details at present.
The reference is to the immense slegs
guns which the Germans have been re
ported as using In bombarding the Bel
gian and French forts, for which they
are said to have to lay tracks along roads
and streets.
