RIVERS OF BLOOD AGAIN MAY DELUGE WATERLOO AS GERMANS GATHER FOR BATTLER
reinforce. Hie, German: right. As a con
sequence, they must remain on the de
fensive, althqugh tlft French are keep
ing up their assaults, feeling out the
weak place In the line.
On the extreme French right, ac
cording to the latest Information, the
Germans are giving ground before the
French at the northern part of the
French right where It Joins the centre,
but It has been found Impossible to
prevent the advance of the Germans
along the Meuse In the direction of St.
Mlhlel. They have not, however, been
able to cross the river. Every time
they string their pontoons the French
artillery, which commands every point,
blows the bridges to pieces.
The German line now begins nt
Mon. In Belgium, swings west to St.
Amand, south through Cnmlirnl. St
Quentln. on the main road through
Ham to Noyon, and then Is unchanged
fiom the past few days at any material
point in its spread across France In a
southeasterly direction, following the
heights of the Alsne to a point north
of Rhelms and then directly cast to
Varennos taken on Thursday by the
Germans. From there the line of the
Meuse Is followed with the Germans
threatening the forts of the Toul-Verdun
line.
On the eastern edge of the western
theatre of war the Get mans are keep
ing up a terrific bombardment against
the works about Verdun.
To the south of Verdun a heavy ,
French force, sent northward from '
Nancy and Toul, t pressing vigor- '
ously against the army of Crown Prince i
Ruprecht of Bavarta. Attack follows
attack In quick succession. ,
The value of German strategy is '
becoming more and more apparent. It l
now seems certain that the Germans
did not intend to hold the hoichts tm- I
mediately north of the Alsne, as the po
sition to which they have fallen back
Is Infinitely stronger. The key to the
position of the German right is a nat
ural horseshoe of stone quarries ex
tending around the Olse from GIrau- '
mont and Antheuit to Machemok. The
whole position Is marked by Mont ,
Gnuelon, opposite Cotnplegne, from i
which the steep sides of a plateau ox- '
tend toward the northeast and tho j
southeast. j
There seems to be evidence for tho I
belief that General Joffre, the French j
commander-in-chief, and Field Mar- j
shal Sir John French, the British j
commander, arc rallying all their
strength for a final effort against the I
German lines. Kvery available man
Is being sent to the front, while the
commanders of the allied troops nn
tho two wings have been ordered ti (
redouble their exertions In their ef- '
forta to turn the German flanks.
The schemes of the German General
Staff, of course, are secret, but mili
tary men who have so far studied thi
German campaign believe that It Is
She object of the Kaiser's forces tn
allow the Allies to wear themselves out
In attacks upon the strong positions I
held by the Invaders. It Is necessary
for the Germans to assume the offen
sive In a certain degree nt some points
but the real German offensive move
ment nil along the line has not ye!
been attempted.
As the result of a four-day tight,
beginning September IS. the Germans
have been forced back from the We
serllng Valley tin upper Alsace) tn
Cernay.
Reports of desultory fighting are
comlnc in from the Vosges. but It Is
not certain th.it the French were able
to hold Cernay and Thann. both of
which places they claim to have taken.

ALLIES RETREAT 12 MILES
ALONG OISE, BERLIN STATES
BERLIN" 'by way of Amsterdam ,
Sept. 25.
Official announcement was made to
day that the western end of the Ger
man forces In France had taken the
offensive against th Allies and had
driven them back 12 mil. It also
was stated that on the eastern end the
Germans had ascended the Muse
Heights after hard tichtlng southenst
of Verdun and were advancing stead
ily despite strong resistance.
The statement follows:
"" Following repeated attacks alone
the Olse b the enemy, who seem
to have ben stionciy reinforced,
our troops took the offensive and
drove the foe back 12 mile.-. Fight
ing continues on the western end
of the opposing linos.
Along the Meu-e, southeast of
Verdun, we hae sained rhe
heights on the east bank The
French opposed our advance there
with fresh troops, and the fight-

ing was severe. We continue to
advance, while our artillery main
tains Its bombardment of the
French forts.
The trpneral situation In France te
malns favorable to the Germans, the
War ifl1ce says, although there has
been no decisive result. The German
armies of the centre and left nre
slowly but i-urtjly breaking down the
French defence, and important de
velopments are hoped for in this sec
tion of the battle line.
Reports in the foreign newspapers
that Pope Benedict had protested to
Kmperor William against the bom
bardment of Rhelms are ofllclally de
nied here. It is stated that the Ger
man Envoy in Rome was asked for in

the cathedral of Notre Dame and that
