AWFUL TOLL OF SEVEN DAYS' CARNAGE IN GIGANTIC BATTLE ALONG VAISNE RIVER
Number of guns and prisoners cap
tured cannot be obtained yet.
An Invasion by Alpine riflemen
over the Vosges Into the Brelsach
valley has been repulsed.
Early today this official- statement
was lsiued by the War Office:
The derman armies in France are
steadily growing stronger. The ad
vance on Paris was too rapid to
admit of ammunition and pro
visions in sufficient quantities be
ing sent to the troops. This has
now been remedied by an adjust
ment of the lines of communica
tion. The efficacy of the new arrange
ments has been demonstrated at
the centre of the German front,
where a steady advance Is being
made.
The French are showing signs of
weakness. Apparently they have
been unable to All their depleted
ranks, whereas our forces are being
steadily augmented by fresh troops
In the battle between the Olse and
Meuse Rivers
It was explained that the German
lines have been extended at certain
points and now' Include the original
French lines. The battle, however, Is
expected to last for several days be
cause of the long line and the number
of men engaged.
Keports that the Germans had run
out of ammunition for their field gun's
are denied Indignantly. Instead, the
lines of communication are perfect
Trains are run directly to the central
points of thp battle line from which,
places the distribution continues with
j the automobile transport service
which is complete.
The French have several times nl
' tempted to carry the German position
by storm, but they have met disaster
from the German artillery and rapiil
' flrers The greatest German gain3
have been along the centre.

FIRING BRITISH PATRIOTISM
Throughout Great Britain wounded solojcrs from the front are greatly aidinp recruiting by addressing mass
meetings now being held in every city and town. Corporal O'Brien, who is shown speaking, took part in the
wonderful charge of the th Lancers, made against German artillery at Mons.
As an evidence of the desperate
character of the fighting. It is ad
mitted that on one night alone, that
of the loth, the Germans made ten dis
tinct attempts to break through the
allied lines. They attacked the Second
British Army Corps, commanded by
General Sir Horace Smlth-Dorrlen,
which was holding the positions north
west of Hheims and near the Craonne
forest. Afttr shelling the British po
sition uninterruptedly for the entire
day, the German infantry was sent
forward under cover of darkness. I
Again and again they were repulsed, 1
but It was not until after their tenth j
attempt that they finally retired and ,
admitted defeat of their plans. '
In the morning the entire British
front wa3 completely covered with

Three Austrian armies are concentrat
ing on the CracowTarnow-PrsemS'el, Hnfe
for a decisive battle with the Russian
armies of General Ruzsky nnd General
Brusslloff. according to an official nn-
i nniinfomont Issued here today.
1 (This line Is ISO miles long, apparently
, following the railroad connecting the three
i cities Tarnow is 50 miles east of Cracow
and Przemysl SO miles from Tarnow This
dispatch Indicates that the official an
nouncements In Petrograd of overwhelm
ing Russian victories were greatly exag
gerated by the Czar's General Staff).
In the new Austrian defensive front
1 General Dankl, with an Austro-German
force, commands the left wing, General
. von Auffenberg has the centre with his
! base at Tarnow, and General Boeverlc
haB the right, where the Russians under
Generals Bruslloff and Ruszky are press
ing hardest.
A dispatch from Vienna says that all
the villages In the neighborhood of
Przemysl have been evacuated by their
Inhabitants In response to an order by
the Austrian military authorities,
i The villagers are being conveyed to the
western districts of Galicia. Intrench
ments are being dug around Przemysl,
and It Is stated that the fortress Is sup
plied with food sufficient to Inst for two
yenrs
The official statement says:
The position occupied by the Aus
trian armies has been heavily fortified.
General Boroevlc will command tho
i right wing, with centre resting at
Przemysl, the main centre will be
commanded by General von Auffenburg
with Tarnow as his base, and the left i
wing will be commanded by General I
Dankl with the Germans supporting i
his extreme left. His base will be '
Cracow.
Tho entire Russian left w lnc, com- ,

WASHINGTON', Sept 19.-Feellng here
today In ofllclal circles Is far from hope
ful for an early mediation among the
nations of war-torn Europe.
"Watchful waiting," President win
son's policy In Mexico, has become his
policy toward European peace. This
became known officially today. From a.
source In closest touch with Wilson, It
was learned his ambition now is for a
permanent peace, not alono in Europs,
but throughout the world.
He does not want a truce that would
merely halt the fighting for a month or
two, only to have it break out again
more violently His position was analyzed
ln the terse comment that he will not
now put out to the country each morn
ing peace "when it Is not ln the card9
That thlB Government has had Indefi
nite assurances that a truce might pos
sibly be affected at this time, it was in
terpreted from a statement that It mighi
be possible now to have "a truce, but
r.ol pence."
The address of King George to Parlia
ment yesterday has strengthened the im
pression that England Is not yet ready to
entertain overtures, In his speech, read
by deputy, the King stated:
Gentlemen of the House of Com
mons. I thank you for the liberality
with which you have met a great
emergency
Mv Lords and Gentlemen, we are
fighting for a worthy purpose and we
shall not lay down our arms until that
purpose has been fully achieved.
England's non-receptive attitude Is con
firmed by a cable which Ambassador Sir
Cecil Pprlng-Rlce received from Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British Minister ot Tore
lKn Affairs, saying that Great Britain had
received no proposal for peace directly
or Indirectly, trom either Germany or
