Great Britain's Official Press Bureau Says

PARIS, Sept. 2G. O,
That tho desperate attack of the
Germans on the lino of French fortifi
cations between Verdun and Toul on
the River Mouso Is hearing fruit Is In
dicated by ofnclal admission that the
Germans succeeded In crossing the

river, It does not account for those re
maining on the west band. If. a strong
force remains there. It may prove
highly dangerous to the Allies.
Great Britain's official press bureau
broke Its long .silence by announcing
repulses of heavy German counter at
tacks on tho Allies' left.
Tho fortress of Verdun Is the key
stone of tho French defense. If tho
Germans succeed In capturing It thoy
will be able to align their armies on
almost a straight front from tho Olse
to Metz. This would give security to
their lines of communication through
Luxemburg and Metz and permit them
to regain the ground lost when tho
Crown Prince's army was forced to re
treat from Ste. Menehould to Mont
faucon. Tho capture of Verdun and tho re
duction of tho forts about Toul would
put tho Allies In the position Into
which they have been trying to forco
the Germans. As they are trying to
turn tho German right wing, so the
Germans would bo in a position to
turn tho Allies' right. If this were
accomplished by the Germans, tho Al
lies' centre would be compelled to re
treat from tho position It has gained
at heavy sacrifice.
According to tho ofllclal announce
ment heavy fighting continues on tho
entire left wing of tho Allies, both
along the Olse and tho Alsne.
The ofllclal ttatement follows:
On our left wing the battle con
tinues with groat violence between
tho Somrao and tho Olse. Between
tho Olso and Soissons (on tho
Alsne) our troops havo made slight
Progress. Tho enemy has not at
tempted any attack. Between Sols
eons and Pvheims there Is no Impor
tant change.
At tho centre, from Rhelms to
Verdun, the situation Is unchanged.
In the Woevre region tho enemy
succeeded in crossing the Mouso In
the vicinity of St. Mlhlel. hut m,
oftenslvo taken by our troops has
already thrown back tho greater
Part across the river.
At tho touth of the Woevre our
attacks have not ceased to progress.
The Fourteenth German Corps has
been thrown back ufter suffering
heavy lossos.
On our right wing (Lorraine and
the Vosgcs), tho German effectives
seem to have been reduced. Some
detachments which had attacked
our advanco posts at certain point
have been repulsed by tho entry
into action of our reserves.
Dispatches from the front today de
clare one of tho most violent engage
ments of the great battle of the Alsno
la In progress near St. Quentin. on tho
German right.
General von Kluk, heavily rein
forced, compelled the Allies t,o retiro

Aviators report tho Germans are con
structing lines of entrenchment In
southern Belgium near tho plains of
"Waterloo. This Is Interpreted as a
plan to provide a haven, In case of
necessity, for tho right wing, which
has berti badly damaged by tho Al
lies In the battlo along tho Alsne.
Belgian authorities expect an attack
on Antwerp, as German troops aro
moving In that direction. Firing

loads of wounded were carried thero.
Russians have occupied Chyrow and
Dynow, important railway centres
near Przemysl. Tho bombardment
of Przemysl continues and two outer

where they will oppose tho Russians
before falling back on Cracow.

JUAREZ, Sept. . 26,-Tho fight between
General Francisco Villa and Provisional
President Vonustlnno Carranza mutt go
011U0 the end; thoro can bo no mediation
of their differences. ,
This was the reply General Villa sent
from Chihuahua today to Carrrfnza's mil
itary chiefs, whahad urged him to accept
a peaceful settlement. Villa charge 1 that
Carranza had violated tho "treaty r.f Tor
reon," framed several months ago when
a similar brenk between the two leaders
was mended.
Backing up his declaration of hostilities,
Villa continues to mobilize his forces,
and fighting below Torreon Is expected
to begin shortly.
Tho messago to Villa was drawn up by
Generals Kduardo Hay, Ignaclo Pes
qulcra, Rafael Buelnn, Luclo Blanco and
Juan Medina. It urged pcaco "In order
that tho Ideals of the revolution may not
bo broken."
Those men met at Mexico City last
night and offered themselves to Villa In
any capacity ho might wish to avoid
hostilities.
Villa has released General Alvaro" Ob
rcgon, Carranza's chief military leader,
according to ofllclal announcement. Ob-
rcpon Is en routo to .Mexico uuy. in
bidding him farewell, Villa told Obregon
they would meet again soon on the bat
tlefield. General Benjamin Hill, Carranza's lead
er In Sonora, was defeated yesterday In
a skirmish with Governor Maytorena's
forces at Santa Barbara. Hill's troops
retired to Naco and are fortifying the
town against attack.
Advices received In Juarez last night
say fighting has been In progress at
Zacatecas during the day. As Villa has
no troops at Zacatecas and has sent none
to that city, Juarez officials believe a
mutiny has occurred In the Constitution
alists' camp. ,
Villa has continued to fortify Torreon
and to send troops there from the north.
Carranza forces are reported moving on
Torreon from threo directions.

ir PENN WINS 14 TO 0
"FRANKLIN FIELD, Sept. 26.-A(ter
sweltering through 10 days of prelimi
nary practlcn, tho Pennsylvania nnd
Gettysburg elevens found Invigorating
weather for their opening of the 1911 foot
ball season this afternoon. There was
Just enough crlspness to the air to send
the blood tingling.
The Quaker management mado prepara
tions for ono of tho biggest llrst-day
crowds Ir. Its history. And, nlthough
the gamo was not scheduled to stalt until
3 o'clock, tho gates wcro opened nn hour
before this time and tho undergraduates
lost little time In trooping through them
to their specially reserved section In
the south stand. It didn't take them long
to get their vocal batteries loosened up,
cither.
Flanking the students on either side
wcro the usual thousands of "old grads"
with their wives and sweethearts, who
never miss a game In which tho Red
and Blue plays. Even the Gettysburg
team, whose followers are usually lost
In the big stands, had a substantial del
egation this time, n special train bring
ing up a goodly sized body of students
this morning.
In the stands there was heard un
stinted praise of tho Pennsylvania and
Gettysburg managements for their pro
grcsslveness In consenting to number tho
players. Every player and substitute on
both teams had his number carefully
sewed on his jersey this morning, so
that the players could be Identified In
stantly. No more will the spectators
have to worry over the identity of their
favorite players or guess at the man who
makes a sensational play.
Thero was a wonderful color scene In
the south stand which from time Im
memorial has been the home of the hosts
who root for the Red and Blue. In this
day and generation, when the extremes
of color are quite the correct style, those
who affect contrasts were qulto in their
element. Of course, the Red and Blue
predominated. Sometimes It was a flar
ing red and sometimes a quieter blue, but
the two were always In evidence, though
all the other hues Had their share.
Tho management Installed an Innova
tion by having several troops of Boy
Scouts act as ushers Instead of tho un
dergraduates who have beenrrformlnir
this service heretofore. In their khaki
uniforms tho scouts gavo a business
like appearance to things.
Tho Gettysburg team was first on the
field and received a great cheer from the
Pennsylvania undergraduates In the south
stand. The Gettysburg student delegation
In the centre of the north stand did Its
best to return the compliment when the
Red und Blue, led by Captain Journeay,
raced on the gridiron. The two teams
raced through a spirited signal drill and
then Captains Journeay and Schacffer
met In the centre of the Held, where
Referee Langford tossed a coin for sides.
Captain SchcfTer called the turn and chose
the west goal, with his team receiving the
kick-off. This gave the Gettysburg team
the Initial advantago of a fairly stiff
breeze.
Gettysburg did not show any conspic
uous line-plunging ability during the
first half. Pennsylvania gained ground
pri-ny inucu m win, out mere was a
great deal of fumbling In the back
fleld. Mofi'ltt and Erwin being the worst
offenders.
B-tween the halves the crowds In the
north stand nnd In the cheaper seats
decided to take the empty seats In the
centre. But a line of Boy Scouts lined
kv and joined hands to restrain them.
They repulsed the first attack with the
timely assistance of a lone policeman.
Ono Individual was getting through the
line when three husky scouts pounced
on him and held him fast. He ulti
mately got away, but a policeman co'
lared him and marched him back Into
his section.
But In the left wing things did not go
so well for the valiant scouts. This por
tion of the enemy rushed pell-mell over
the scouts, who didn't have the assistance
of a cop. Although about a hundred spec
tators got through the line, the scouts re
formed their broken ranks nnd restrained
the oncoming foe. The big crowd en
joyed the battle hugely nnd vigorously
applauded the complete victory of the
scouts on one flank nnd their half vic
tory on tho other.
