TAIUS, Sept. 22.
Fierce fighting continues along the
entire buttle front In France, particu
larly on the western end of the lino,
Tvherc tho flanking movement of the
Allies continues, and near the plateau
f Craonnc, near tho centre.
The War Ofllco reports von Kluk
treakonlng on tho German right wing
and says Ms retirement will soon bo
turned Into flight. Paris has a reHort
that General von Kluk lias been re
lieved of command.
It was officially announced that the
(Teutons' assaults were without ap
preciable results. On tho right banlc
cf the Oiso tho Germans arc giving
Bround.
Tho ofllclal statement Issued today
follows:
On tho wholo front, from tho
Olso to the Woevro region, tho
Germans manifested on tho 21st
a certain activity without obtain
ing appreciable results.
On our left wing on tho right
bank of tho Olso tho Germans have
given ground before the French at
tack. Between the Olse and tho Alsno
the situation Is unchanged. Tho
enemy has mado no serious at
tack, contenting himself yesterday
evening with a long rango bom
. bardment.
At tho centro, between nhclms
and Sounin, tho enemy attempted
an offensive movement, which has
been repulsed, while between Sou
aln and tho Argonno forest wo
have made some progress.
Between the Argonno ami the
Meuso there Is no change.
In the Woevro region tho enemy
mado a violent effort. They at
tempted tho heights of the Meuso
on tho front of Tresauvaux-VIg-neulles-Heudicourt
without being
ablo to tako foothold on tho
heights.
On our right In Lorraine tho
enemy has crossed the frontier
aguln with small columns. Ho has
re-occuplcd Domestre, to tho south
of Blamonl.
During tho days of the 20th and
Slit we took 20 ro-vlctunllng motors
with all their personnel nnd a num
ber of prisoner, belonging notably
to tho Fourth, Sixth, Seventh.
Eighth, Ninth, Fourteenth, Fif
teenth German corps, to the Bava
rian Landwehr and to tho reserve
corps.
It Is understood tlio Allied nrmles to
day nro making a supreme effort to
break through tho lines of the Ger
man army commanded by General von
Buelow. Tho latter was compolled to
Weaken his lines by withdrawing a
Part of his main force to send to tin!
relief of General von Kluk and tho
light wing.
The Fiench nro now attacking tho
fortified positions hold by the Ger
mans which control the railway be
tween Rethel und Luon. They have
gained slight advantages here and, If
they tan drive their wedge through,
they will place both von Buolow and
Von Kluk at a material disadvantage.
In fact, It Is stated positively that
reports of the French-Britlsh aviators
Wio havo reconnoitred tho German
position show Indications of a retro
grade movement. The heavy siege
Buns huo In certain places been with
drawn toward tho extreme base. This
s rlalnly a precautionary movement,
kut it may also bo the beginning of
the long-expected retreat.
Heavy Buns from tho Paris forts
vere rushed to tho front today to reply
to the bombaidment of the monster
l-lnch howitzers of the Germans,
hlle ut the same tlmethe Allies con
tinued their pressure against the right
"Mng of the Invading urmy.
While there hud been a lull in the
Heating late yesterday, owing to tho
J'hysical exhaustion of the soldiers, the
engagement, which is really composed
ft four separate battles, was resumed
furiously at daybreak.

ously pushing an enveloping iovemcnt
to encircle the German right flank, tho
battlo fine Is being extended west of
tho Olse River. General von Kluk Is
moving guns Into position to protect
his lino of communication and to pre
vent a retreat, which would expose
the rear of the troops stationed In tho
Craonno region.
The big guns from tho Paris works
will bo used to bombard the German
works upon the plateau of Craonne.
where the Invaders occupy a position
of enormous strength. Tho German in
fantry stationed upon tho Craonno
heights' Is supported with heavy artil
lery of 'longer rango than tho French
guns which havo been opposing it.
Tho French claim to have shoved
back tho German right, but at the
same time an official statement from
the Fronch War Office gives an at
count of fighting west of tho Olse at
a point from which it had been thought
that the Germans had been expelled.
Reports have again become current
that tho Germnns nro short of ammu
nition, hut the terrific nature of the
German cannonade seems' to give this
rumor the He.
Convinced that Germany now has
her entire field strength available, tho
high military officials here declare that
within another fortnight, or three
weeks at tho outside, she will be fight
ing a defensive contest outside of
French territory.
Tho four points where tho fighting
centtes are the valley of the Olse,
Soissons, Rhelms and Verdun. The
German left centre Is making a vlg
orous assault on tho forts nt Verdun,
alternately bombarding them and then
making efforts to storm them from two
sides.
Late reports say that tho German
bombardment at Rhelms continues, tho
shells being directed against the French
forces south of the city. Many of the
shrapnel, however, fall in the city
proper, where every day and every
night sees some fresh destruction done.
While the city Itself is Immaterial
from a standpoint of strategic Impott
ance, It la the centre of a district that
is Important.
German batteries are stationed north
and northeast of the city; French can
non are stationed on hills south of the
city. There are believed to be about

The wireless operator at Fanning Island

A rcpoit Is.sued todaj by the Census
Bureau in Washington shows that child
labor conditions in Philadelphia nnd Penn
sjlvania are the worst in tho United
States. Commenting on this this after
noon, Paul X. Purninn, secretary of tho
unnu Iabcr Association of Pennsylvania,
said this was due entiiely to the Influence
of tho Penrose controlled political ma
chine, which ho accused of having con
stantly stood in tho way of child labor
legislation, and of having throttled the
child lnboi bill diawn up by the associa
tion at the Inst session of the Legislature.
The figures given bj tho Census Bureau
are verified by thu State Factory Inspec
tion Department.
According to tho leport of tho Census
Buteau, which Is not as definite on tho
mntter of child labor us Is tho repot t
of the Stato Factory Inspector. In 1M
there wero 3 malos between tho ages
of 10 nnn U jenrs emplojed in Philadel
phia; U,23 between tne ages of 11 and
15, and iS,20J bctwe-n tne ages of IS and
2u. Of females, saj-s tho report, there
wero employed In this Uty. In 1310, 30J
between the ages of 10 and 13, WIS be
tween the ages of U und 15, and .Q)
bttween the ages of 16 and 20.
The report of tlu Stute Factory In
spector shows that 2l.0m chlldien, between
the as's of II and K jears, uio contlnu
till employed in Philadelphia, ami ai.OO
ihildriii in the finite State 'of Pennsyl
vania. This condition Is worse than In
any other Statu or city in tho Union,
said Mr. Fuiman.
The following figures on child labor In
the greatest induntrlnl States In tho Union
show, bv comparison, the backwardness
of Pennsylvania in the mntter:
As ngnlnst tho .hGj children between
the age ot it and 1H years employed In
the vurious Industries of the State, New
York has K.SU. Ohio. 5120; Massachusetts,
21,157. due mainly to the targe number ot
chtldien employed in thu textile trade. In
Illinois there lire 1U1T. and In Indiana,
S3U
''This tat0 of affairs in the all-Important
matter of child labor, one of tha
greatest scourged of modern industry, H
due to the fat t that Pennsylvania hns
no eivht-hoin child labor law," said Mr.
Furmaii. "Ye havo no law forbidding
night work In the glass Industry and In
tho messongcr sorvloe. Wo have no law
jogulating the street trades of boj's and
girts duilng anv hour of tho day or night.
We have no proper sstem of regulating
the Issu.im and use uf icrtificates where,
by It would he impossible foi any child
to trunsfei its certificate to anv other
child or lomain idle and out of school
for no teason whatsoever Working cer
tificate:; should bn tho property uf tli

"Pennsylvania is sadly behind in this
niatter- The Bang-controlled political ma
chine, with nun at the head of It serv
ing private interests, do not oar a,
rap for the welfuie of ihlldien of thu
State, and are standing in the way of
progressive child labor leslatlon."
