Attacks along the entire battle lino havo been cnslly repulsed. Number of guns and prisoners cap tured cannot bo obtained yet. An Invasion by Alpine rlllcmen over tho Vosf.es Into tho Brclsach valley has been repulsed. Early today this offldul stati ninnl was Issued by tho War Odlco. Tho German armies In Franco are steadily Browing stronger. Tho 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 tho lines of communica tion. Tho efllcacy of tho new arrange ments has been demonstrated at tho ccntro of tho German front, vhero n steady advance Is being made Tho Trench ore showing signs of weakness. Apparently they havo been unablo to fill their depleted 'fine 1 ranks, whereas mir forces are being steadily augmented by fresh troops In the battle between the Olso and Mouse Rivers It was explained that the German lines have been etcndcd at certain points and now Includo tho origin. il French lines. The battle, how over, Is evpected to last for socral days be cause of tho long line and tho number of men engaged Reports that tho Germans had run out of ammunition for their field guns are denied Indignantly. Instead, the lines of communication nro perfect Trains aro run directly to tho central points of tho battle lino from which places tho distribution continues with the automobile transpott service which Is complete. Tho Trench havo several times at tempted to carry tho German positions by storm, but they havo met disaster from the German artillery and rapid flrcrs Tho greatest Gorman galn3 have been along the centre. COURT MARTIAL FOR MAN WHO ORDERED PRUSSIAN MASSACRE Russian Commander Is Tried by Germans, Who With hold Verdict Belgian Treasures Protected. BRITAIN EXPECTS AISNE BATTLE TO BE DECISIVE LONDON, Sept. 19. Tho battle of tho Aisne, which Is now In its seventh day with two long battle fronts In virtually tho same position they were a week ngo, will bo dcclsle. Uoth sides realize thl3 may be tho crucial conflict of tho war. The following olllcl il statement was given out by the War Ollice this morn ing: The situation r mains unchanged. A counter attack by the Germans against the fim division was de livered dining the night and was driven back. Tho weather Is bad with rain falling continuously. Tho allies are now losing as heavily as did tho Germans in their unsuccess ful effort to penetrate the Trench lines at V tr-le-Frnncols and along tho Marne. Tho Germans now have tho advantage of an entrenched position. Tho British losses In the present fighting exceed any in previous battled 1 either In tho successful retreat from Belgium or I.i the offensive operations on the Marne. Some of tho greatest regiments In the British nrmy have been badly cut up in the last three days of fighting. They have had to bear tho brunt not only of tho German attempts to re- sumo the offensive, but also of what ever offensive mov emonts havo been undertaken on tho loft. Enough is known of tho disposition of the German tioops to make sure that it is. not a rear guard action to cover n retreat. On tho contrary th'j Germans aio depleting their garrisons In Belgium to bring reinforcements to tho front and are lushing food and ammunition to the Kaiser's forces With two superb armies facing each tlal cold rains sweep tho battlefield nnd fill tho trenches. One report savs that the British troops aro suffering severely from rheumatism n.s a result, but tho War Office savs It has no con firmation of tho story. Tho German position! admittedly aro very strong Their trenches" aro well dug, protected In many places by bomb proofs, and all along their front for a dlstnnco 'iot less than half n mile, barbed wire and bramble entanglements have been con structed. In this connection, as evi dencing the great strength of tho enemy's line, the Paris correspondent of tho i:press quotes a high Brltlsa officer as saying: "If we held the same position all of tho soldiers In tho world would bo unable to dislodge us -o long as our ammunition held out." The British av lators continuo to cover themselves with glory. They havo accurately located tho 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 tho air. As an evidence of tho desporato character of the lighting, it Is ad mitted that on one night alone, that of the 15th, tlie Germans made ten dis tinct attempts to break through tho allied lines. They attacked the .Second British Army Corps, commanded by General Sir Horace Smith-Don leu, which was holding thu positions north west of Rheims and near tho Craonno forest. After shelling the British po sition uninterruptedly for tho entire day, tho German Infantry was sent BERLIN, Sept. 18 (by Wirelesta through Sayvllle), General Partos, Russian commander, who ordered his troops to kill all of the malo inhabitants of East Prussia and to burn all of the villages, has been cap tured and huh been tried by a German court martial.

Following up his success against tho Russian armies In East Prussia, General von Hlndenburg is Invading Russian Poland from Lyck. The following statement on his opera tions was Issued today: The German Eat Army continues Its operations In tho district about Sawnlkl, Russian Poland. The nrmy Is now advancing on tho fortress at Osowlec, io kilometers (2$ miles) southeast of Lyck, on the railroad be tween Lyck nnd Dlelostok. Oaowlco Is one of the strongest '"'' in itussian jroiana. it Is a strategic point because the River Blebrza or Bobo and cannot bo crossed at any other point by an army on account of the great swamps lying along its course. Tho capture of Osowlec will have to be attained beforo General von Hlndenburg can advance. Osowlec Is about 100 miles northeast of Warsaw. If It falls Into German hands Its captors would be able to strike from there against Warsaw and tho right wing of the forces that General Ruzsky Is leading In Gallcla.

Gasper, of PI'tsburgh. Both men wero hustled to tho Central station and locked up, while Hugglns, manager of the Cardinals, hurrold about In an effort to get his two players out of a cell that they might perform this after noon In two gamos against the Phils. Both players were on hand at ball tlmo. It Is said by the Pittsburgh police that Jack Miller woh too attcntlvo to Mrs. William D Gasper. Tho woman's hus band objected, It is said, after ho had trailed his wife and the ball player through bright lighted refreshment places of Pittsburgh. Oaspr approached tho ball player and upbraided him. Then Jack, it Is said, smote him on tho nose. Gosper fought back the best ho knew how when he was set upon by another ball plavcr. This man he believes was Dolm of the Cardi nals. Dolan, on tho other, explained this afternoon that ho had never heard of Gasper and had not tho pleasure of ever meeting Mrs. O.iepor.

Gasper, who was separated from his wife, believed that she was receiving the attentions of Miller. Ills suspicions wore Increased when he found a pair of trousers belonging to Miller In tho room of Mrs Gasper. He Identified the trousers by finding, It Is said, a check foi ono month's pay drawn In favor of Miller. Gasper accused his wife of friendliness with the ball player. Sho made no de nial and then Gasper trailed tho two, with the result that he was badly pum meled by the athletic escort of Mrs. Gasper. Hugglns was about as busy a man as an- 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 state of mind. Both his players had then been held under JS00 bail each for a hearing in Allegheny County. Hugglns did not have $lt00 In his hip pocket, but In his coit ho had n fountain pen and a check book. Ho gave a certified check for J1W10 and hustled his errant players back to the ball park in an automobile. uoian, ii. ,,...,,.. a Hugglnb, 2b i 3 Dresscn, lb. ........ 0 I Magee, lb. ..... 8 Miller, ss. 3 Wilson, rf 8 Roche, c, ..,....,4,. 0 Wlngo, o. .,,....... 2 Cruise, cf, ,,..,..., il Beck, 3b 3 Perdue, p. 1 Williams, p. ,,...,, 0 tDerrlngor 1 iUetzel , 1 ST.

No runs No hits In October, 1913, the Eastern roads filed tariffs, at an expense of about $1,600,000, providing Increases In freight rates esti mated to average 5 per cent., which com puted on the gross revenues of the car riers Involved of (1,000,000,00) n year, would mean nddltlonnl net revenuo to them of about $50,000,000. Under date of July 29 last, tho decision refused nny In crease in rates, except on a restricted tonnage on roads in the Central Freight Territory nnd then only In the rates as applying within that territory Since tho closing of the former case another fiscal jear has been completed In which gross revenues declined $41, 700(100, compared with results In tho jear ended June 30, 1913, and net operating revenuo In the nggrcgnte for tho roads concerned dropped $73,000,000. Hence on the volume of business in tho 19H year tho jicld of nn average B per cent, advance would bo $2,233,000 less than the $'.0,000,000 originally pro posed, and furthermore the advance In operating expenses and taxes since the fottnei petition, coupled with tho loss In gross, would swallow up nn average 5 per cent advance at this tlmo nnd still leave net operating Income ovor $2j, CXiO.ooo smaller than In tho 1913 fiscal year. In July of this year gros3 revenues con tinued their downward tendency, but the progress of cutting operating expenses to tho bone had begun to show Its effects and tho losses In net revenue wero mini mised. Then came the unticttlcment to traffic and especially to credit as a result of tho Eurorenn war. Gross revenues In August declined more sharply than In July, and the effect on net Is more damag ing, according to early Indications Even more Important Is the dislocation of ciedlt nt n time when railroad maturities are heavy, amounting to a half a billion dollars In the coming year, and when the i railroads are In tho weakened earnings portion. Such are the changed circumstances which have manifested themselves since the closing of the advance rato case, ths decision of which wata handed donn on July 29. i I POLICE DECLARE THREE MEN DRAINED BARREL OF WHISKEY TWO CHINESE STOWAWAYS Found on British Steamship and Held at Immigration Station, Two Chinese stownwavs, who at tempted to come into this country on the ilrlttsti Iienjni steamship rn-tle Unite from Nlma, Cuba, were turned over to ;I?vI:a'..,,8et "-r"nal ap- I tho United States immigration authorities fMM0fSwi,S,.h',tb,U,h a Ko,0at Gloucester this afternoon by CB"ta,n .'Src:1,,11 " " the steamer The boat docked at Chester this morning The men gave their names as Young Kuifg, 2C jears old, uu oam vyny, . yeara oiu i Then They Are Arrested for Stealing Bos of Hats.
