Attacks along the entire battlo line have been easily repulsed, dumber of guns and prisoners cap tured cannot be obtained yet. An Invasion by Alpine riflemen pver the Vosges Into the Brelsach vailey has been repulsed. Early today this official statement was Issued by the war Office: The German armies In France are steadily growing stronger. The ad vance on Paris was too rapid to admit ot ammunition and pro visions In sufficient quantities be ing sent to the troops. This has no)f been remedied by an adjust ment of the lines of communica tion. The efficacy of the new arrange ments has been demonstrated at thS centre of the German front, wh"ero 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 battlo between the Olso 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 tho long line and the number of men engaged. Reports that the Germans had run out of ammunition for their field guns are denied Indignantly. Instead, the lines of communication ore perfect Trains are run directly to tho central points of the battle line from which places the distribution continues with tha automobile transport service, which Is complete. The French have several times at tempted to carry tho German positions by storm, but they have met disaster from the German artillery and rapid flrers. The greatest German galn3 have been along the centre. BRITAIN EXPECTS AISNE BATTLE TO BE DECISIVE LONDON. Sept 19. The" "Battle of the Alsne, which Is now In its seventh day with two long battle frontB in virtually the same position they were a week ago, will be decisive. Both sides realize thl3 may bo'the crucial conflict of the war. The following official statement was given out by the War Office this morn ing: ' The situation remains unchanged. A counter attack by the Germans against the first division was de livered during the night and was driven back. The weather Is bad with rain falling continuously. The allies are now losing as heavily as did the Germans In their unsuccess ful effort to penetrate the French lines at V'try-le-FrancoIs and along the Marne. The Germans now have the advantage of an entrenched position. The British losses In the present tlal cold rains sweep the battlefield and fill the trenches. One report says that the British troops are suffering severely from rheumatism as a result, but the War Office says It has no con firmation of the story. The German positions admittedly are very strong. Their trenches are well dug, protected In many places by bomb proofs, and all along their front for a distance not less than half a mile, barbed wire and bramble entanglements have been con structed. In this connection, ns evi dencing the great strength of the enemy's line, the Paris correspondent of the Express quotes a high British officer as saying: "If we held the same position all of the soldiers In the world would bo unable to dislodge us so long as our ammunition held out." The British aviators continue to COURT MARTIAL FOR MAN WHO ORDERED PRUSSIAN MASSACRE Russian Commander Is Tried by Germans, Who With hold Verdict Belgian Treasures Protected.

Following up his success against the Russian armies In East Prussia, General von Hlndenburg 1b Invading Russian Poland from Lyck. The following statement on his opera tions was Issued today; The German East Army continues Its operations In the district about Sawaikl, Russian Poland, The army Is now advancing on the fortress at Osowlec, 45 kilometers (M miles) southeast of Lyck, on tho railroad be tween Lyck and Blelostok. Osowlec Is one of the strongest fortresses In Russian Poland.

The verdict is not vet an- attained before General von Hlndenburg fighting exceed any in previous battled ' cover themselves with glory. They either in the successful retreat from Belgium or in the offensive operations on the Marne. Some of the greatest regiments In the British army have been badly cut up in the last three days of fighting. They have had to bear the brunt not only of the German attempts to re sume the offensive, but also of what ever offensive movements have been undertaken on the left. Enough is known of the disposition of the German troops to make sure 4hatit is no a rear guard action to cover a retreat. On the contrary the Germans are depleting their garrisons In Belgium to bring reinforcements to the- front and are rushing food and ammunition to the Kaiser's forces. With two superb armies facing each have accurately located the various German positions, especially their bat teries, which are usually cleverly 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 the fighting, it is ad mitted that on one night alone, that of the 15th, 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 Smith-Dorrien. which was holding the positions north west of Rhelms and near the Craonne forest. After .shelling the British po sition uninterruptedly for the entire day, the German infantry was sent nounced.

ROTTEN FIRE HOSE MAKES TEST RISKY, PORTER DECLARES Forty Per Cent. Would Burst Under Trial and City May Need All Its Apparatus for Emergency. Fear of a fire In Philadelphia like that which devastated Baltimore some years ago has decided Director of Pub lic Safety George D, Porter not to or der a test of nil fire hose, as suggested by the National Hoard of Fire Under writers, according to a statement he gave to tho Evening Ledoeii this after noon. "Tho 4o per cent, of our hose referred to by the board would burst If wo tested It," said Director Porter. "Wo would rather havo It burst at a fire and have some uso of It thnn destroy It In tests nnd then wait until City Councils makes up Its mind to give us money for new lioRe." Tho director read the story In the Evening Ledobh onsed on tho report of the underwriters and then declared! "This story backs me up In my con troversy with Chairman Connelly of tho Councllmanlc Finance Committee. I my self asked the National Board of Fire Underwriters to come here or send a man to examine the hose, every bit of ap paratus and every fire department build ing In the city. "We don't dare test the hose. The 40 per cent, would burst under test nnd wo couldn't get any more right away. Wo might need It all at once. The reason we don't dare test It Is because we might hove another Baltimore fire hero with out It. Even the rotten hose Is needed." The Board of Flte Underwriters recent ly completed Its examination In thlta city, made at the Invitation of Dliectoi Porter It declared that the frequent bursting of hose at fires was due to lack of proper test by the fire department, and pointed out that W per cent, of the hii-e In use Is more than five years old nnd should be replaced. It will be neceseary for the department in this city to purchase at least 15,000 or :n,000 feet of hose annually to replace discarded sections, In the opinion of the undei writers. A levlval of the proposed separate water main for fire nnd commercial pur poses In the industrial district of Cam den Is e.pected ns the result of the criti cism by the board of the department there, where It has Just finished an Inves tigation. Denial was made today hy Councilman Harry T. Bead, chairman of the Fire Committee, that politics has anything to do with conditions In the Camden depart ment. "For severnl yenrs," he said, "wo have been expending large sums In meeting the demandn of the under writers and It Is generally accepted that our department is up to the standard In every respect. As to politics having anything to do with the department, It Is positively not so." Mr. Bead was rather Indignant nt tho criticism of the underwriters, because, he fnld. when they were In Camden they congratulated him on the condition of the department and made objections to but two or three companies. In discussing the conllagiatlon hazard in Camden, the underwriters' report snv: "The weak structural conditions, com bined vvlth the narrow streets, numerous overhead wire obstructions and Inade quate flre-flchtlng facilities, would nor mally create a severe conflagration hazard: however, ns congestion is lack ing, private protection Is provided where most needed and powerful outside aid is available within a short time, the re sulting conflagration hazard ns a whole Is low. Owing to weak construction and somewhat lnadcrjuate ftre-flghtlng facil ities severe individual and group fires are probable. The hazard In tho residential districts Is slight " The board calls attention to the practice of Camden politicians dominating ap pointments and promotions in the depart ment. This system It condemns. It points out also that there Is lack of proper training among the fire crews and that the engines are not well cared for. The fire alarm system Is In poor shape, according to the board's report, and the building Inspections being made In Camden are of little value. Report of the board on Camden's water supply, fire department and fire alarm system follows: Water Pupph Pumplns equipment n-t ufrUMn even considering email reerf iatlon Fores mains adequate.

MAYOR CRITICISES COUNCILS FOR GRANT TO NEW, CITY COURT Allotment of $400,000 for Buildings for Juvenile and Domestic Relations Branded as Extravagant. Mayor Blankenburg sharply criti cised Councils In an Interview today for their "extravagance" In allotlni; $400,000 of the proposed loan to build a courthouse for the Juvenllo and Do mestic Relations Divisions of the Mu nicipal Court nnd for passing over his veto nn ordinance condemning property at 21st nnd Race strets ns a site for tho building. Ho urged that If such a building Is erected It bo located on U19 property ndjolnlng the present House of Detention, so as to keep these branches together. The Mayor -was In fine spirits nnd ap parently In good health. He said "I think tho Municipal Court Is en tirely too young to go Into such ex travngnnce. Wo want to find out what tho Court Is like nnd see what It can do, nnd then mnko some general com prehensive plan for providing It with a courthouse. "It seems to . me absurd. In fact a little cheeky, especially nfter the ex travngnnt extremes they went to In appointment of tipstaves In that mat ter they flouted public opinion. I don't know that tho Municipal Court Is en titled to any better quarters than the Common Pleas, Quarter Sessions and other courts, You know what poorly ventilated, congested nnd dark condi tions some of those courts nie In. "The House of Detention was built In 1900 nnd 1007. There seemed at that time nniple room, In fact, more than was needed. I wns County Commissioner at that time, nnd had charge of erection of this building j PRESENT QUARTERS AMPLE, "l'hlllp H. Johnson wns the architect i and his plans were accepted with slight modification. AVlien It was dedicated, Mnyor Ileyhurn made nn address and , persons were present from Chicago, Bos ton, New York and other places, and they 1 said theio was nothing llko It in this country. I "All of .1 sudden It Is Inadequate. If It I Is Inadequate we should build alongside of It for the Juvenile and Domestic Rela tion" divisions. I believe In keeping these quarters together. The House of Deten tion, at 2133 to 2H1 Arch street, occupies . a lot M hv 102 feet. Adjoining ii an 18- foot street, called Beechwood. The next five properties are assessed at S17.10O. In the following order: 2121, JSO0O; 2123. $7200; 2115, $7200; 2127. $72r1 : 2129, W. A building could be erected there at a cori of $100.. fflO. The ncqulsltlon of these properties would give us double the space we now have. WOULD KEEP BRANCHES TOGETHER "I entirely ngreo with President Me Ctirdy. of Common Council, that If any additional buildings are erected, that Is where they should be located. That would keep these branches together with out grent 'expense. The House of De-" tentlon was hullt for $165,000 out of an nppioprlatlon of $200,000. We tried 'to turn $33,000 back Into the city treasury The equipment we provided at the House of Detention was without a blemish. NEED LESS EXTRAVAGANCE. "Now, what is the use of Imposing an' extravagance of this kind upon the city? This must have been a sudden insplia tlon. All of a sudden we find the present quarters are Inadequate. Some Inspira tions lie sleeping a long time. Let U3 have a comprehensive plan about this whole project. The Juvenile and Domestic Relations divisions want a $100,000 court house for themselves, but we want fo know what they will do. "The Municipal Court has not made a good start In public opinion. It must make good first. It asks for this amount of money now, but nobody knows where it will enil "How many ears have we been wait ing In West Philadelphia and in Torres dale to get some Improvements for the cltv's poor, sick and Insane? Now these people come along and want to gobble evei.v thing in sight. It is not fair or icasonable." CLERK A PO9R READER. Tho ordinance calling for tin- condem nation of the property at 21st and Ra-o stieets was pawed by Common Council over hit veto, said tho Mayor becau-e tno Clerk of tho Council 'lead hU veto ines. sage so indistinctly that one of tie M; ir's friends could not underhand the reading. "I vetoed seven or eight bills 'aal Thursd.iv," he said, "nnd only one u.o passed III Common Council over mv n That was donn under a mlsapprehen-mn and because the gentleman who rend mv mefsages before the Councils mim'es through them so no one can undei tana "Tlie veto would have been sustained if It had not been for tHI-s mUapprehen-lon on the pait "f one of my friends ,v.o voted otherwise.
