While the city Itself Is Immaterial

German batteries are stationed north
and northeast nf the city; French can

city There are believed to be about
100 000 Germans massed upon the pla
teau of Craonne This Is ft position
of exceptional strength. General
Bluecher. who was defeated by Napo
leon on the same ground, declared that
25 000 troops could hold It ngnlnst any
odds.
East of Verdun the Frejich lines seem
to have been reinforced as there nre
eight French army corps near the Lor
raine border, where tho German left

French forces have worked to a
point near Peronne. 17 miles north
west of St. Quentln. where they are
attacking the advanced position of the
Germans. Tho main English army Is
near Solssons. On the British left,
In the vicinity of Noyon and I.esslgny,
Is a strong French force, which Is evi

work and deadly work, for the Ger

BERLIN, Sept 22 (by way of Am

The statement adds that the right
wing is standing firm at all points, al
though the Allies have been heavily
reinforced.
Further announcement is made that
attacks by the French and British
forces on the German lines are dimin

points.
An official statement Issued at mid
night announced the capture of the
heights of Craonne and the town of
Bethany (near Rhelms).

The- enemy shows signs of weak

attempts to capture our positions.
On the contrary, our troops, fight
ing from well fortified points, have
had a rest and are taking a strong
offensive. Their attacks are crow
ing stronger at all points.
Great alor has been shown by
the enemy's troop. They have
charged repeatedly In an attempt
to silence our artillery, but have
been as repeatedly repulsed.
The statement Issued at midnight
said:. I
The strong, hilly positions at ;
Craonne have been captured. Ad- i

The French troops camping to

PETROGRAD, Sept. 22.
Such success as has come to the Ru.
slan armies against the Germans In nut
Prussia has proved a welcome surprise
to many of the veteran troops of the
Czar who, at tho beginning of the great
European war. still smarted from tha
effects of their defeats by tho Japanese.
There has been a change In the condl
tlon of things on the Russo-Oerman
frontier that might surprise even per.
sons familiar with the Russian plan of
campaign. One Russian ofllccr at 1pbi.
who may bo regarded as u reliable au
thority, has been much surprised by ths
rapid progress of the Russian advance.
Originally five Russian army corps
were ordered to the Austrian frontier
for the purpose of delaying tho Austrian
advance If It should be directed against
that line. However, the Russian Gen
eral Staff was quite convinced that the
main attack would aim at Warsaw
through Poland, and to meet that at
tack two new army corps were sent for
ward, and at the same time the cavalry
on the left flank (Chotln and Klclcc),
was strengthened.
The Austrian Invading army met only
weak opposition In Poland, and the two
Russian corps appeared to retire.
Suddenly the Russian canlry In th
South, that Is to say. on the left wing,
based on Klelce, took the offensive At
the same time the Russian army was
ready to pour her enormous masses Into
Prussia from the northeast frontier
Tho great Russian mobilisation was
ready several days before Germany had
expected, and Just at the moment when
Germany should have made her decisive
blow at France and been able to spare
her first lino troops for meeting the Frus.

Complete defeat of tho Austrian army

The official statement describing tho

shied at the heaps of dead bodleB they
had to tread over when attempts were
made to clear our front of the advancing
Germans."
Sergeant Major MacDermott writes
in a letter:
"Wn're w-onderfui'v cheerful, and

ing over the fields. Not that there's
much play for us. It's all work, fight
ing and fighting and working again,
though you mustn't think I'm grum
bling, for I'm not.
"I am writing to you with the enemy's
rhells bursting and screaming overhead.
Though their artillery has been making
a fiendish row all along our front.
"It's th? quantity not the quality of
the German shells that are having ef
fect on us. and It's not so much tho
actual damage to life as the nerve
racking noise that counts for so much.
Townsmen who are used to the noise
of the streets can stand It a lot betted
than the countrymen, and I think you
will find that by far the fittest men are
those of regiments recruited In the big
cities.

Another meaning read into ths report,
