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".

BORDEAUX, Sept 10.
Failure of tho allied armies to drive

Three Austrian armies aro concentrat

for a dcclslvo battle with the Russlnn
armies of General Ituzsky and General
Brusslloff, according to an official an
nouncement Issued hero today.
(This line Is ISO miles long, apparently
following tho railroad connecting the throe

A dispatch from Vienna says that all
tho villages In the neighborhood of
Prrcmysl havo been evacuated by their
Inhabitants In response to an order by
the Austrian military authorities.
The villagers aro being conveyed to the
western districts of Galicia. Intronch
monts are being dug around Frzemysl,
nnd It Is stated that the fortress Is sup
plied with food BUlTlclent to last for two
years.
Tho official stntement says:
Tho position occupied by tho Aus
trian armies has been heavily foi tilled.
General Roroevlc will commnnd tho

Cracow.
Tho entire Russian left whig, com
manded by Generals Ruzsky and
Hrussiloff, 1b expected to begin an at

(The admission thnt an attack on
Przemysl Is expected confirms Russian
claims that they have reached the River
Snn, but tho statement that General!!
von AunTenburg and Dankl's armies will
form part of tho Austrian front Is a
denial of Pctrograd assertions that the
Austrian right nnd left wings have been
crushed.)
General Hoofer declared today that the
operations of the Austrian armies In
Galicia had not yet brought tho main

and that only small forces had opposed

In nn effort to get bis two players out of
a cell that they might perform this after
noon In two games ngalnst tho Phils. Ills
attempt to got the mon In tho battlnr
list for tho llrst game was unsuccessful.
11 0 was more fortunate, however, before
the second game was called.
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. Hugglns was about as busy a
man ns any In Philadelphia just two
minutes after tho arrests occurred. It
was not until after the bats began to
crack at the Phllly's grounds that he
assumed a normal stato of mind.
Roth Ills players had then been held
under fSOO ball each for a hearing In
Allegheny County. IlugRlns did not
have $ltM In his hip pocket, but In his
coat he had a fountain pen and a check
