BBIIL1N, Sept. 25.
That tho main lino of tho French
forts, extending from Verdun to Tout,
Is being battered to pieces by tho
German siege guns tho 42-centItnetro
mortars was nnnounced by the War
Office today.
Official announcement Is mado that
elcgo guns havo been taken from Metz
to bombard Verdun and tho strong
French forts In the vicinity of that
stronghold.
Tho official statement is:
"Tho German troops are attacking
the entire lino of the French fortifica
tions along the French eastern fron
tier from Verdun to Toul. In an at
tempt to raise tho siege and prevent
the demolition of their forts, already
suffering severely from the German
Bhcll Are, tho French have made sev
eral attacks In force on the German
lines.
"All have been repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy, who has also been
driven back on his main supports.
"Tho right wing of the German
army has been under severe pressure
from the combined British-French
forces, but at no point has the enemy
succeeded In making an Impression on
our lines. The main chain of de
fenses along tho River Olse and tho
Alsno Is Intact, and tho efforts of tho
enemy to carry the forts by night at
tacks havo proved futile.
"Along the line from our right
through the Argonne forests no Im
portant engagements havo taken place.
Fast of tho Argonncs tho German lines
havo been extended through Varcnncs,
which was taken by a series of bril
liant assaults, In which tho enemy lost
heavily.
"The French are striving to prevent
the arrival of the guns from Metz, but
the guns are steadily approaching
nearer. The reduction of Verdun can
not be averted when they reach a posi
tion where they can bo operated with
full effect.
"Tho situation In Belgium and the
eastern theatre Is unchanged.
"In French Lorraine and on
Alsace frontier, lighting proceeds, but
there has been little change there from
tho situation as previously reported.
"Summed up. It can be stated that,
while a series of violent combats have,
and are. taking place, at no point is
the battle seemingly approaching a de
cisive stage. The spirit of the German
troops Is wonderful. They have met
the most desperate attacks with coun
ter assaults and have inflicted great
damage on tl.- enemy."

The encircling movement of the Allies is continuing and their occupation of Peronne is confirmed. There is stiff fighting all along the line of
General von Kluk's right, and General von Boehn's advance guard?, who are defending the Mons route are in contact with the French and English forces all
along a line running from Cambrai, north through Bouchain, Denain and St. Amand to the Belgian frontier. In the centre both sides entrenched are hold
ing their own, with little change, though the French claim to have made a slight advance north of Bcrry-au-Bac. On the German left their attacks on Ver
dun and the Verdun-Toul line of forts are said to have been repulsed, and their activities south of Thiancourt near Beaumont, Domevre and Nancy without
special advantage.
VERDUN SITUATION GRAVE
IS LONDON ADMISSION
LONDON. Sept. 25.
Slight gains for the Allies at Pe
ronne and before St. Quentin on the
German right in the last 24 hours are
offset by advantage gained by tho
Kaiser's troops against the French
right, southeast of Verdun.
The Germans are undoubtedly rush
ing reinforcements from the garrisons
left in Belgium to bolster the defenses
of General von Kluk and. despite tho
optimistic reports from the roar of the
Allies, apparently are succeeding in
holding their positions there. Dis
patches received the day before yes

ronne four days previous by the
French and English. Today's dis-

patches assert Just as Jubilantly that
the Allies have occupied Peronne.
That the Germans have, on the other
hand, made substantial advances
against the French right is shown by
the olHclal statement of the French
War Office this afternoon.
"The Germans have occupied tho
, heights of the Mouse and are marching
i In the direction of St. Miliiel," says the
statpment. This can mean nothing but
that Verdun, long the object of a -stubborn
attack by the Germans, is now
attacked on three sides, with the rail
road to Chalons, to the west, open still
tb its line of communication and source
of supplies and reinforcements Tho

Official news of great victories by the

from the Foreign Office at Vienna. The
Austrians have penetrated Into Scrvla
more than 20 miles and captured strong
positions on the Drlna River, according
to the icport. Like messages conveyed the
news that the attack of the French Ileet
on Cattaro had proved a falluie, only
slight damage being done.
In Philadelphia this afternoon George
von Grivlclc, Austro-IIungnriuii Consul
General, gave out this statement, an
nouncing tho successes of the Austrians:
"Accoidlng to wireless news received
r.c light occurred In Gallcla during the
last few days except soma unimportant
skliinlshes. The w cither Is said to bo
very unfavorable, but the tioops of the
Austro-Hungaiiun tinny are in excel

"News cliculating and asserting that
the Russlnns were defeating and cutting

pursued by tho enemy, is therefore

more than an engagement with outposts
of the Austro-Iluugnrlnn army, the main
forces of which uie concentrating cast
of the fortress of Cracow, while Its
light wing Is using the foi tress of
Przemysl as a basis.
"Equally Incorrect is all news which

SCANDAL OF JURY
WHEEL AGAIN HEARD
BY GRAND INQUEST
Delaware County's District
Attorney Submits Fraud
Charges Against ex-Sheriff
and Two Commissioners.
Tho cose of ox-Sherlff '& E. Sproul and
Jury Commissioner Jacob Wise and
James Stuart, charged with malfcasanca
In office, was called before tho Grand Jury
In Media today by District Attorney John
B. Hannum. Until a late hour this aft
ernoon no decision had been reached.
In December, 1912, the community of
Media was shocked by the discovery that
moro than DO names had been found In
tho Jury whoel which had not been select
ed by the court. When this discovery was
made by tho court It was pointed out
that a Jury solcctcd for the trial of crim
inals would not bo an unbiased one, but
would consist mostly of those whose
names, It was alleged, had been improp
erly placed on the list of Jurymon.
Tho reason given at tho time of tin
exposure was that tho names had been
placed there to protect several prominent
Republicans accused of forging Washing
ton party and Bull Mooee nomination pa
pers. A petition was presented before Judge
Isaac Johnson In Media this morning by
the Bnr Committee of Delaware County,
asking that tho court permit the "bod
slips," which were discovered In the Jury
scandal, to bo turned over to an expert
for Identlllcatlon. The Judge held tho
tequcst under advisement.
Tho expert who Is to be named by the
liar Committee will examine the slips,
which will remain In the custody of Dis
trict Attorney Hnnnum, ns soon as per
mission Is grnntcd by tho court. This
Is thought to be a matter of only a few
days.
Tho petition was presented to the court
by A. B. Geary, H. A. Howell and Frank
n. Rhoadcs, who formed the committee
named by the members of tho local bar
association which Is conducting the Jury
scnndnl Investigation. This Is the fourth
or tlfth time the Jury senndat has been
aired in some way or other since early
In 1913.
John B. Hannum, Jr., tho present Dis
trict Attorney, has done all In his power
to bring the guilty persons to Justice und
with the experts' expected testimony as
to the handwriting on the many alleged
fiaudulent slips, many men prominent
In affairs in Media and surrounding
towns will be called to explain.
