SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1914- AWFUL TOLL OF SEVEN "DAYS' CARNAGE IN GIGANTIC BATTLE ALONG AISNE RIVER' M f i M Number of guns and prisoners cap tured cannot bo obtained yet. An Invasion by Alpine riflemen over the Vosges Into the Brclsach valley lias been repulsed. Early today this ofllclal statement was Issued by tho War Ofllce: The German armies In Trance are steadily growing stronger. Tho nd vanco on Paris was too rapid to admit of ammunition and pro visions In sulllclcut quantities be ing sent to the troops. This has now been remedied by nn adjust ment of tho lines of communica tion. Tho efficacy of the new arrange ments has been demonstrated nt tho centre nf tho Clerman front, where a steady advance Is being made. Tho French arc showing signs of weakness. Apparently they havo been unable to fill tholr depleted ranks, whereas our forces ale being steadily augmented by fresh troops In tho battlo between tho Olso uud Mouse Rivers. It was explained that tho German lines havo been extended at certain points and now lncludo tho original French lines. Tho battle, however, Is expected to lust for several days bo cause of tho long line and tho number of men engaged. Reports that tho Germans had run out of ammunition for their Hold guns nro denied Indignantly. Instead, tho lines of communication tiro perfect. Trains are run dltectly to tho control points of the battlo lino from which places the distribution continues with the automobile transport service, which Is complete. The Kreneh havo several times nt tempted to entry tho German position by storm, but they have met disaster from tho German artillery and rapid llrers. The greatest German galtn have been along tho centre. BRITISH, IRON MEN, ROUT GERMAN NIGHT ASSAULTS LONDON, b'ept. 13. Tho. fighting continues In northern Franco with tho situation practically unchanged, according to tho War Of fice. That the battlo eclipses anything evej; before fought Is known. The en tire German and French-British active armies are engaged, nnd the losses are Ktupendous. . . . Tho fighting Is taking place under the worst conditions possible. Torren tial cold rains sweep the battlefield nnd fill the trenches. One report says that the British troops are suffering severely from rheumatism as a result, but the War Olllce says It ha1? no con firmation of tho story- The German positions admittedly are very strong. Their trendies are well dug, protected In many places by bomb proofs, and nil along their front for a distance not lfs than half a mile, barbed wire and bramble entanglements have been con st rurtd. In this connection, as cvi- ( dencing the great strength of the i enemy's line, the Paris correspondent of the Express quotes n high British offlcer as saying: "If we held tho same portion nil of the soldiers in iIk world would be unable to dislodge us so long ns our ammunition held out." Tho British aviators continue to cover themselves with glory. They havo accurately located the various German positions, especially their bat teries, which are usually clovcrly masked by wooded hills and by tree tops cut down and so arranged that It Is Impossible to distinguish them except from the air. As an evidence of the desperate character of tho lighting, it Is ad mitted that on one night alone, that of the 11th, the Germans made ten dis tinct attempts to break through (he allied lines. They attacked tho Second British At my Corps, commanded In General Sir Horace Smtth-Dornen, which was holding the positions north west of Itheims and near the Craonne forest. After shilling the British po sition uninterruptedly for the entire day, the German infantry was sent forward under cover of darkness. Again nnd again they were repulsed, but It was not until after their tenth attempt that they finally retired and admitted defeat of their plans. In the morning the entire British front was completely covered with dead and wounded German".

Failure of tho allied armies to drive the Germans out of f'rance, or oven to gain any ground, Is causing anxiety throughout France.

It Is said by tho Pittsburgh police that Jack .Miller was too attentive to Mr William D. Gasper. Tho woman's hus band objected. It Is said, after ho had trailed his wife nnd tho ball player through bright lighted refreshment places of Pittsburgh. Gasper approached the ball player and upbraided him. Then Jack, it is said, smut him on tho nose. Giiepcr fought back the best ho know how when ho wa set upon by another ball player. This man he believes was Dolan of the Cardi nals. Dolan. on the other, explained this afternoon that ho had never heard o Gasper and had nut tho pleasure of cvr meeting Mrs. Gaapor. Miller was arrested by tho Constablo several weeks ago In Pittsburgh, but excused himself staling that he would hurry tbrouffh with a few soft-boiled OCRs and Join Kdlls Immediately. Whllo l'dlls waited and wandered at tho ap petlto of tho player, Miller was board ing a train for home. He kept out ot Pennsylvania until tho present trip here. Gasper, who was separated from hlj wife, believed that she v5as receiving tho attentions of Miller. Ills suspicions were Increased when he found n pair of ttousors belonging to Miller In tho room of Mrs. Gasper. Ho identified the trousers by finding, it is said, a check for ono month's pay drawn in favor of Miller. Gasper accused his wife of frlendlincii with the ball player. She mado no de nial and then Gasper trailed the two. with the result that ho was badly pum moled by the athletic escort of Mrs. Gnsper.
