AUSTRIA'S ,i GIBRALT but the British flro wns so accurate, so deadly, that all finally had to crawl back to the frail shelter of the earth When the British finally chnrged thoro was hardly a slnglo timvounilod German left In tho tinea. Thousands were dead. The wounded and tho dead were so mixed that It was hard Jo rcscuo thoso who yet had a chance to recover. Out the movement had been a complete success from the British viewpoint, and tho position marks tho first, real ground Rained against tho enemy. From thoso trenches it will be pos elblo to check any further attempt to push southwest, and It rU'cs tho Brit ish a strategic position on the hltls that command tho roads from l'eronne to Gonzencourt nnd on to Cambral, where tho British suffered so severely thrco weeks ago, and from l'eronne to St. Quenttn north toward Bolllcourt, and north by cast toward Guise. It Is believed that as a result of this latest success the British will now be able to push tho Germans entirely from tho neighborhood of St. Qucntln nnd reoccupy that village. It Is considered certain that tho main German forces have already left It, as tho unolllclal reports place the British advance guard In that city's suburbs. GERMAN RIGHT TURNED AND IN PERIL, FRENCH SAY BORDEAUX, Sept. 2J. Tho positive declaration that tho flank of tho German right wing- has been turned and that Von Kluk's army la Irt danger of being cut off, was made by tho War Olllce todto. It was stated that whllo l enforcements oro being rushed to his rescue from Belgium, they will not bo ablo to alter the situation. They will not be ablo to prevent tho German right being encircled and forced either to retreat In haste to ward Belgium or meet an attack from all sides by an army of vastly superior force. The British and French columns now outnumber tho Germans two to one In tho western section of the line. There are more than 1,000,000 French and British engaged In the battle along the entlro front, and nearly half that num ber held In reserve should they be needed. Although the fighting In the neigh borhood of Rhelms continues without Interruption, it Is stated tho French are now occupying a much better position. They resisted a German assault In force last night, driving the enemy back In great disorder. The bombard ment of tho French position continues With the Germans using their heaviest artillery. It Is believed that under cover of this lire they arc already with drawing the major poitlon of their forces. The Germans arc making a desperate effort against Verdun and the lower lines of tho forts in an effort to reduce them, but the olllclal reports reaching hcie s-ay that all are still Intact. Summing up tho entire situation, it was stated at the War Utlice today that It has never looked so promising slnco the commencement of the war For the first time slnco the begin ning of the war official and authentic infoimatlon as to tho Identity of the commanding officers of tho Allies has been given out. Tho right wing in Lor raine Is commanded by General I'ju; tho centre Is directed by Generals Maunary and Duvall; the left by Sir John French, and the extreme left by Generals Dccurlers and Dccastelnau. WHOLE LINE STEADFAST, BERLIN OFFICE MAINTAINS BERLIN, (by way of Amsterdam), Sept. 23. "The situation on the front In France has undergone but slight change," says an official statement. "We are making progress at points whero we have un dertaken the offensive, but there has been no important change in the rela tive positions of the opposing forces." Xews from the front in France Is still of the most meagre description It Is emphatically denied, however, that the. Germans have been forced to give way at any single point. In tho vicinity of Rhelms, it is stated, the Germans hao driven the French from their cutting trenches, which are now held by the Germans. The German armies, which have been operating with Metz as a field ba&e, have driven the French far inside their own frontier and are now attacking all of the southern line of forts with suc cess Geneva says it Is reported there that General Pau has gone to the south of France to form auxiliary corps for the French armies. BELGIANS HARASS GERMANS ADVANCING TO AID MM ARMIES General Staff, in Man y Skirmishes, Co-operates With Allies by Checking Westward Moving Reinforcements. ANTWERP, Sept 23 Sharp fighting is going on in North eastern Belgium between King Albert's army and the Germans The Belgians and Germans are reported to be In contact near Mechlin, around Termonde. and In the vicinity of AuJer marde, some 15 miles west of Ghent. The obviou intention of the Belgian army Is to co-operate with the Allies In France by engaging the Hermans over as large an area as possible in Belgium, so as to prevent reinforcements from beins tent v.est King Albert's forces are also working southward toward Brussels to menace the German lln-s of communication It Is reported that tin- advance guard of one Helglnn force engaged tho German outpobts only 13 miles from Brussels Another report describes a lively fklr mish between Belgian civic guards and Germans near Audermtrae, ahoiH 15 miles southwest of Ghent, on Tuesday. The Belgians captured an automobile and !He prisoners, without am losses. Tho Germans had three men killed and two wounded. South of Mechlin the Belgians advanced and save battle to a German detachment. The Belgian forces are composed of in fantry, cavalry and lliSht artillery, and are fighting vigorously to prevent the Germans from est4biishing lines south west of Antwerp. Refugees from about the. district of St. Giles-Waes, w ho have Just come Into Ant werp, report the presence of Uhlans In that locality. Information given by the Belgian War OHce gives the Impression that the Her mans ate being forced back from their advanced positions south am west of Antwerp. The information brought hy the refu gees from St CJlles-W.ie, however, puts a different face on the situation, as St. Glles-Waea is only about 12 miles west of Antwerp. In their panicky state tho fugitive may have mistaken other troops for Uhlans, but if they are correct It would indicate that the advaiuo guard of the Germans is pressing cloe to the tem porary Belgian capital It is apparent that the small detach ments of Belgian troops are acting in dependent of King AJbert's main com mand.

U tfes Ssaid- JRtf armv evidently is KAISER KISSES SON AND PRAISES TROOPS AFTER VIRTON FIGHT "We Must Crush Our En emies," He Tells Clergy man Visits Wounded and Lavishly Distributes Iron Crosses. COPEXHAGC.V, Sept. 23. The Kaiser was reviewing a regiment of the Imperial Grenadiers, commanded by his son, Prince Oscar, after the battle of Virton. "I salute you." he said, addressing the men. Just after embracing the Prince "I have often sc-n your gallant regiment at maneuver. It is a great pleasure for m to meet you again on conquered ground. Th heroic deeds at Virton have been engraved on the history of war forever in golden letters. Your regiment has upheld the glorious traditions of your forefathers in JMtt and 1571. "The armies of the Crown Prince and Puke Albrennt of Wurttemberg hove ad vanced victoriously, our Eastern army has thrown thrfe Russian army corps over the frontier and two more Russian array corps have been captured in the field. For all these victories wo have One to thank, and lie is our ancient God. who is over us." The Kaiser again kissed his son and men drove off in his motor. The fog of German warfare does not obscure the War Lord's movements, and It is pes sible to follow him from place to place by means of inspired nits ot news that creep occasionally into the German news papers. The other day the Kaiser visited the es tablishment of a Protestant religious or der which had been turned Into a military hospital. He walked through the rows of wounded soldiers, s,poke to the men and graspad the outstretched hands of those unable to salute or rise from their beds. He afterward sent a rose to every wounded soldier who did not have tho honor of a personal chat. Incidentally he distributed Iron crosses right and left. The cleigyman who had the care of theto wounded soldiers wtrn to have addrtssed the Kaiser with ton heat v a hurt "We have to make sacrifices In these times," taicl the Kmperor. and he remind ed tie clergyman that he had sU sons fighting In the war. "Yes, tour Majesty, that is our pride and happiness. responded the chaplabi 1 did all In my power to keep ptace." proceeded the Kaiser, "but uur enemies would not have peace Now wt will have to crush them to the ground lion t ou I agree? ' ( The meek clersvman in rotating this , conversation aftsrward, said he had noth ing to do but to agree with the Emperor and assure him he was prepared to make ver sacrifice for tho fatherland. AMPHIBIOUS ENFORCED MILITARY DUTY SOON MAY BE ORDER IN ENGLAND Even if Germany Is Defeat ed, Fears Are Expressed That Russian Acts May Make Conscription Neces sary. LONDON, Sept. 23. In view of the war raging In Europe and the necessity of sending big drafts of nifn to the front, Liberals arc begin ning to discuss the possibilities of con sctiption If emi3criptlon comes, and tho ptobtblltties are that It will, there will be no time for piotetd, as it would require merolv an order in Council and not an act of I'ailiament. Conscrlptlonlst news papeis, and they form the bulk of the press at present, nie hard at work nnd have won the first point. They will now press their advantage, for they know that such an opportunity may never come again. Once conscription Is upon England it will hold good, for It will not pass at the rnd of the war, even lit the event of Germany being defeated. Russia will atford ample excuse for riveting the thrall ring of militarism more firmly upon the throat of the English people A fortnight ago one had the hope that this war would tee the end of Prusalanlsm In Uerman ; now a diminishing hope Is coupled with a lively fear that it may see the hlrth of it here. It is true, no responsible politician has suggested con scriptton, but two months ago no re sponsible pollticlin suggested war. Lib erals are asking Is no answer to bo made to all this agitation or are they to sit idly by, helplessly tiustlng lu the btabilitj of politicians under stress, with out to much as attempting to strengthen their hands? , t A Mr. Wells' suggestion that it ought to be made possible for every male in the country between 15 and 60 to enroll himself for public service is one that looked like being carried out, with no chobe for shirkers, a century ago. when England was at war with Frame and Ameiica, and a large number of the English troops were tied up in Ireland At the beginning of 1M statistics were prepared giving the number of males whom it would be possible to turn Into soldiers. The result showed that there were Just 2,741.517 between 15 and 60 capable of bearing arms. At that time the population of the United Kingdom was under 18.000,000. A month or two later the allied armies entered Paris, and what might have been a scheme of universal service was forgotten In the rejoicings of a temporary peace. ENLISTMENT GOING ON.

MERRILL & HOPPER KKA1MNG TERMINAL MAKKBT Mail 1X17-2S Aiclit. Sidf pcoplo who, in their mistaken sense of patriotism, have been doing so much mischief. It was that In which the Premier stated that Lord Kitchener's second army had already obtained be tween 250,000 and 300,0no men. It Is to. be noted, therefore, that while ovet zcalous young females have been rush ing about with wbito feathers, employ ers have been scklng to force enlist ment on their men by threats of dis missal, nnd excltnblc people have been denouncing cricket and football, there are alieady more recruits accepted than have bron asked for. As a matter of fact, more men have en listed than accommodations can bo pto vlded for, for It 13 a notorious fact that there are no barracks, available, and that In order to shelter them a vast number of buildings will have to bo utilized. Uni forms will also hnvo to be provided, horses for the cavalry, rifles for the Infantry and instiuctors for all. Slnco tho war tho value of the Prltl.sh soldier has gone up Immensely In tho pub lic estimation. Six weeks ago Tommy Atkins would hnve been contemptuously refused a dilnk In every hotel bar In Lon don. Today ho Is an honored guest, whllo the young man who, for some reason, re fuses to enliHt, Is treated with derision. It Is Intel estlng also to notice how tho national emergency and the magnificent way In wheh It has been met by the Gov erment is being appreciated in the music halU, quarters not usually svmpathetic to Liberal statesmen. Pot traits are being nightly shown on screens, and the gather ings cheer as the photographs of Mr. As qulth, Lloyd-George and Mr. Churchill ap pear. They cheer these nearly as warmly as they do that of Lord Kitchener. Hut that Is not all. A portrait of Mr, Red mond is generally Included In the set, nnd it is pleasant to note that the patriotism and generosity of the Irish leader Is heart ily appreciated. ENGLAND IN TO THE END. Whatever be the duration of the war there Is no doubt that it is popular In England and that the British people will back tho Premier In his determination that the sword Is not to be sheathed in til Germany Is crushed. The feeling against Germany Is very bitter, but that towards Austria Is rather contemptuous than otherwise. It Is generally felt that the dual monarchy will quit hostilities as soon as possible and It is even now currently rumored that the Austrian Government hnvp warned the Get mans that unless they received sufficient sup port to enable them to resist the Rus sian advance, they would open negotia tions for peace with the Allies. It cannot be said whether there Is any truth In the suggestion, but It Is at least not Improhable. The war ha3 already shaken tho Austro-Hungarian Empire to Its foundations, and a few more re verses may lead to Its overthrow. It Is, Indeed, quite on the cards that Hungary and Bohemia may proclaim their Inde pendence of tho Hapsburg monarchy. Whether, even If Austila sued for a separate peace, the Allies would grant it It is difficult to say. It must never be forgotten that In any arrangements regarding the future of tho dual mon archy Scrvla will claim a reward for her share of the fighting, nnd that Italy will Insist upon compensation for her judicious neutrality.

Even field telegraphs have become Inadequate to control tho movement of such vast nrmles as now confront each other on tho soil of France. Nowadays field telegraphs have been given up and tho Marconi discovery of wireless messages, Intended originally for tho saving of human lives. Is being used for their quicker nnd more complete de struction. This system docs away with the always lnborlous nnd often Imposslblo method of laying wires between distant points and Is mote effective In every re spect. A SIMPLE APPAHATUS. Like almost ovorythlng else, the Ger mans have rendered tho system tho very perfection of simplicity. In other coun tries portablo equipments of this char acter havo been cumbrous and far from easily handled. The German onglneer has, however, worked hand In glovo with tho service man, and the Kaiser's forces nro now equipped with n means of com munication which Is so light and port ablo that a motorcvcllst with a sldo enr could readily transport one of the smaller outfits somo 200 miles In a day. The short-range Instrument will send nnd receive messages over an average distance of 33 miles. Where tho countiy Is level, as In Holland, It I3 posslblo to extend tho range to 40 or 50 mlleB, while in hilly country It would not exceed 15 or 20 miles. The larger sizes have ex tremely long ranges, and over aveiage country messages can be sent and re ceived at a distance of 2C0 miles. Thli question of range was, however, a sec ondary one with German engineers, their primary object being the portability of the apparatus and Its easy construction. WORKS AT EASE. As regards the latter point, any of the equipments can be unloaded, set up and worked within 15 minutes, and they can bo taken down and packed away In even less time. As regards portability, It Is sufficient to say that a horse will easily carry an outfit of average range, whilst a long-distance set can be caitlcd by four horses, who also carry riders. A pack horse and .1 man between them could take one ot the larger sets a dis tance of SO miles In tho 21 hours. It has been recognized that It might be necessary to tnko an outfit into a position where neither horse nor motor could pass, so the Germans devised a stretcher of bamboo on which one of the largest sets mav bo carried by eight men over thn roughest port of country. As the usual wireless crew consists of seven men, two to look after the boises nnd live to set up and dismantle tho out fit, with two officers to send and receive messages, It Is evident that In field woik there would be no necessity to draw men from other duties to assist In the wireless.
