BEAUTIFUL VALLEY
INTO AH INFERNO
Aisne River Losses Colossal,
Says Correspondent Who
Followed Armies From the
Marne.
LONDON, Sept. 21.
German troops are dying to the muilc of
their regimental bands In the vnlley of
death along the Alsne by day and by
night. Their losses nro colossal, says an
English correspondent, who sends his
elory from La Ferte-Mllon, south of
Solssons. He says:
'From the battlefield of Marne t worked
my way northward through Chantllly and
Fenlls to Crepy-en-Valols to this volley
of death. I came by night through lands
wasted by the feet of tens of thousands
of armed men and by Innumerable wheels
of tho world's greatest armies.
"I have seen on thlfl rond sights that
convince me that the retreat was not only
swift, but precipitate to a point of actual
panic. It was Alsne or destruction. It Is
necessary to realize that Just as the allied
army, on Its way from Mons to Paris,
was In danger of th German flanking
movement which threatened to overwhelm
It, so wm Genet at von Ktuk's right
flank In Its retreat from Paris to Alsne
In extreme danger. To avoid annihilation,
he lied a position of tremendous wtii-ngth
toward the west. It was absolutely
essential to his safety to gain the position
of Alsn.
"One nuidt not loso sight of the supreme
fart that -if the present sltuitlon Just
as the Jitn'tinn of the Ourcq and Marne
at Meaiix made that town the key of
encounter last week, so the Junction of
the (Use and the Aline at Complegne has
endowed tne lattei with cardinal Import
ance. Once across the Alsne, the German
nrmv had the Itlver Olsc on Its right, and,
for the moment, the danger of being out
flanked was averted.
"This vw the position on Sunday, Sep
tember 13 the frst day of the great
ftontal hattle
"The valley of the river became an In
ferno From height to height the great
guns belched forth their lire In terrific
fashion. Huge shells went shrieking
across tho river and the river meadows.
The nrmy poured a. withering tire upon t
the allied troops and engineers that were
engaged In building pontoon bridges. The
pontoons are mined on wagons espu
tlally constructed for their transportation.
It Is necessary to bring these pontoom
to the water's edge, launch them and then
lash them together.

Continued from rate 1
green horses In the first das Judged,
which, notwithstanding their inexperi
ence an a general thing, made a, good
showing.
SHOW OPENS ON TIME.
Contrary to custom, the show today
opened on time. When the first clear
note of the bugle floated across the
fields, the hands of the clock pointed
to 10 o'clock, exactly. A minute later
4(1 well-groomed horsea galloped Into the
enclosure.
The first spill of the day occurred
when n groom riding Emlcn Wood's
Bella plunged over his mount's head
while taking a fence. Mo was not in
jured. A record list of entries marks the show
this yoar. Both In number and quality
of the animals shown today all the
horse show enthusiasts realized that this
year's exhibition would by far eclipse
any previous event at Bryn Mawr.
Quite a departuro has been mado by
horse show ofllclals this season over the
custom of former years, In that the af
fair will last six days Instead of five,
In addition to that, the first hound show
ever held In America will begin tomor
row and continue In connection with the
larger event until tho end of the week.
Draft horses are also to be exhibited
this year. This has nover bean dono be
fore at Bryn Mawr.
HORSE COMES FIRST
Naturally, the horse will occupy the
post of first Importance For the last
twenty years he has ushered In what Is
practically tho Initial social event of
the fall season. It Is for this reason
that socbty folk from New York, Balti
more, Washington, Boston nnd other
places Journey to tho Quaker City and
join with her sons and daughters In pro
claiming her supremacy on the tan bark.
Many familiar faces wore seen In tho
oval toelny. Smltlnglv urbane, and criti
cally Judicious ns ever, "Reggie" Vnnder
hilt, without whom no horse show Is a
success, appeared In his uslliu place among
the Judges. There Is probably no better
Judge of horseflesh In tho country than
Mr. Vanderbllt, and once ho has passed
upon the met Its of any exhibit, tho last
word has been said,
George B. Hulme and E. F. Gerry, of
New York, are other Now Yorkers to be
seen among the Judges.
There wero 345 entries In tho 63 classes
when the first animal stepped on the
tan tmrk this morning. The abandon
ment of the horse show nt Madison
Squnro Garden. New York, this year be
cause of the European war, brought an
unusually lnrge number of out-of-town
entries to Bryn Mawr. For the same rea
son the social importance from the stand
point of persons present and stable rivalry
was considerably greater.
Tho hunting nnd Jumping classes that
have placed Bryn Mawr horse how In
the forefront of American exhibits of a
similar character opened th competition
today. The first class open to green
hunters only wns put over fences nt 10
o'clock. Among these animals were the
pick of the best stables entering hortes
nt this year's show. The roadsters came
on at noon.
Twcnt-llve new classes have been
added to tho show, and for the first
time during the 20 years In which the
exhibition has been held it will con
tinue for six dnys.
HUNTER CLASS FIRST.
Hunters and Jumpers again predominate.
The Bryn Mawr show has become recog
nized as the most Important in this
country for hunting clashes, due prob
ably to the fact that the exhibition Is
held Just before the tor. hunting season
opens, when the horses are In their best
condition. This year 36 of the 99 classes
are for hunters and Jumpers nnd 654 en
tries out of the total of 915 are In these
classes.
The showing of harness horses, saddle
horses, hackneyB nnd ponies, although
regarded by patrons of the exhibit as of
secondary Importance, Is expected to de
velop keen contests, as the number of
ontrles in these classes Is also larger
than In previous exhibitions.
For the first time heavy draft horses
will be exhibited at Bryn Mawr this
year. The land owners in the Philadel
phia suburbs have beon making efforts
of late to Improve tho breeds of this
useful type, and In recognition of their
efforts special classes were ndded.
An especially Interesting feature of the
week will be the first annual Bryn Mawr
Hound Show, which begins tomorrow und
wltt continue through tho week Tin
hound show will be a side event and
will be the first exhibition especially for
foxhounds and beagles ever held In this
country. Packs have been entered by
hunt clubs from Massachusetts, Ver
mont, New York. Virginia and Maryland.
Owing to the British embargo against
the export of live stock, however, the
Bmall greyhounds which have been under
training In England and which were to
have competed In a series of whippet
races nt the Bryn Mawr ihow, could not
be brought over.
Whippet racing, which Is somewhat
similar to the sport of rabbit coursing in
tho Western Btntos, has been ft popular
sport in England for many generations.
Tho group of whippets which were to
have been raced at Bryn Mnwr this week
are owned by several members of the
Philadelphia hunting set, including Ed
ward B, Chase, A. J. A. Deveraux, Victor
C. Mather, John II, Converse, W. Plunket
Stewart, John R. Valentine, J. Stanley
Reeve and W. A. Rolln.
WAR KEEPS SOME AWAY,
The show for fox hounds nnd beaglo
hounds will compnro favorably with the
show held each year nt Peterboro, Eng
land. The hound show committee in
cludes the masters of nil tho lending
hunting packs of the United States and
Canada. Packs that were expected from
Canada, however, have been scratched,
because of the war,
An unexpectedly large number of en
tries have been received for the hound
show. There are 289 entries in tho 60
classes, including 10S American hounds,
44 English hounds, 19 Amerlran-bred Eng
lish hounds, 29 half-bred hounds and 81
beagle hounds.
An amusing feature of the week will
be n special class In the hound show
for "working fox terriers," The digging
ability of the hounds will be tested in
this contest Seven "diggers" from as
many packs have been entered in this
class.
Tho Bryn Mawr horseshow hag grown
from a show of one day's duration, held
on the terrace of the Bryn Mawr Motel
and attended by about 2ii0 persons, 20
years ago, to ono of the largest In the
country.
Tho prizes this year aggregate $0000 In
value. The Radnor Challenge Cup, to be
competed for Wednesday afternoon, la the
most prized. It Is valued nt $2f0, and the
event carries with It n sweepstake of $100,
The Bryn Mnwr Challenge Cup for
harness horses, valued at $250, with
sweepstakes ndded, und the challenge cup
for the best team of three hunters, given
by W. Hlncklo Smith and worth more
than $300, will bo competed for on Thurn
day. A total of 413 ribbons will be
uwarded In the 99 classes.

COUNCILS TO RUSH LOAN
OVER BLANKENBUR0.-S VETO
Special Meeting to Pass Municipal
Court Ordinance.
Belect and Common Counolls wilt meet
In special sessions tomorrow, Instead of
Thursday, as originally planned.
The change has been hastily mado to
prevent any chance of the ordinance to
condemn property at 2tst and NlUe
streets, for the use of tho Municipal
Court, falling to become a law.
MfiVor ninnkenburg returned that ordl.
nance to Common Council with his veto
I Thursday. He said the proper place
for Municipal Court buildings should be,
In the Interests of economy, adjacent to
the House of Detention. The Mayor de
nounced the plans of the Municipal Court
as extravagant.
Common Council passed the ordinance
over the Mayor's veto, hnrelv obtaining
the necessary three-fifths vote. Even
president AlcCuruy voiced his uisseiu uf
the costly project.
In order to pass tho ordinance both
branohes of Council must take action
five days after the veto la submitted,
Select Council did not meet last week
nnd It has now been discovered that
the action of the Common branch In
passing the ordinance over the veto
would be nullified If the Select chamber
foiled to concur before Thursday,
Doth branches will meet and the ordl.
nnnoe providing for the submitting of
the IU.800,000 loan for clvlo Improve,
ment to tho voters In November will
doubtless bo passed.
As a result of Mayor niankenburc'i
denunciation of the HOO.000 Item for
Municipal Court buildings as extrava.
gance, there may bo opposition to that
Item In the loan from Independent
members.
The line-up of Belect Councllmen en
tho ordinance which the Organization
bos slated to be passed over tha
Mayor's veto will be watched with In
terest by the Independent forces.
"MOVIES" SHOW PICTURES
WITHOUT CENSOR'S SEAL
The State Board Telia of Some of Ito
Troubles.
Moving picture houses, at least a
dozen of thorn In this city, are using the
State Doard of Censors' seal on pictures
that nevor even saw tho Inside of the
State's projection rooms. This Is ths
Information given this afternoon by J,
Louis Dreltlngor, chief censor.
Many of tho owners of "movie" houses
about town, who rccelvo films from ths
exchanges nnd who are afraid of being
fined for using pictures they know
Rhould bear the State seal, simply use a
seal of their own. This Is one of the
new troubles that confront tho Board ef
Censors.
Up to the presont there have been but
few nrreBts of those who have violated
tho rule covering the act of 1911, which
prohibits tho uso of any film that has
not passed tho State Doard of Censors.
Four or flvo who have been arrested
hnvo been fined (50.
The rule, which went Into effect nn the
first of September, has not been strlctiv
kept by owners of "movlo" shows and
the State Board has been inclined to no
easy with them for the present. By tite
first of December tho law will be strictly
onforcod.
