PI6HT ALONG AISNE
PROBABLY GREATEST
IN HISTORY OF WARS
Expert Declares Passage of
i River by Frontal Attacks
Would Be Most Notable
Military Feat.
LONDON', Sept. SO.
In an Interesting nrtlclo In Hie London
Dally Express, Lieutenant - Colonel
.Alsager Pollock, of tho British army,
gives a mlnuta description of tho theatre
of the world's sreatest battle on tho
banks of the Aisnc. It Is only necessary
to possess reasonable Intelligence and
a fairly largo map of the country
through which tho Alsne flows In order
to understand how It Is that the Allied
army, nftor successfully effecting n
crossing, has not only been provented
from prosecuting Us advance beyond tho
river, but has even been temporarily
driven back to tho left bank, at somo
points, by counter-attacks, and thus com
pelled to brave again and again tho perils
of forcing tho paHaage.
Colonel Pollock describes the Alsne us
a very sluggish river. Film Villuiicuve,
ono mile cast of Solssons, to Lamotte,
clsht miles east of Complegno, a dis
tance of nearly seventeen miles, tho fall
Is oniy twenty-one feet. The Hats be
tween the hills forming tho valley me
seldom less than ono mile in breadth,
and tho hills themselves rifco thence,
rather abruptly as a rule, to heights of
fiom 300 to 360 feet abovo the river. The
configuration of the hills is very In
dented, so that on either side, but more
especially on tho right bnnk, tho guns
and also tho rlllpincn of a force dis
puting the passage can lendlly be dis
posed so as to be perfectly sheltered
from artillery lire from the opposite
bank, while at the same time command
ing long leaches nf tho valley both up
and down the stteam.
RANGE FINDING DIFFICULT.
According to Colonel Pollock, climatic
( conditions render the finding of an nc
, curate range for heavy guns almost Im
possible. In the clear atmospheio of
South Africa, where ho served during
the Boer War, the llro of artillery at S000
yards, or even more, could bo quite use
fully observed, particularly when tho sun
shouo on tho target, but It Is not so
on the banks of tho Alsne, and this fnet
Is one of much disadvantage to the Al
lies. Here, then, wo havo an explana
tion sulllclcnt In Itself to account for
the difficulty experienced by the Hrltlsh
and French troops in making good their
hold on tho right bank of the Alsne, In
pplte of all tho valor displayed by them
in successfully effecting the crossing of
the river.
"A single example," says Colonel Pol
lock, "will sufllco to mako clear the whole
matter In this connection. Let us as
aumo an attempt to cross nt Vlc-sur-Alsne,
among, of course, a number of
other points simultaneously attacked.
One mile south of Montnis Is an artil
lery position three miles long and hav
ing a command of, roughly, 300 feet over
the level of the river. Tho hills on tho
opposite bank have In no case ft com
mand within 00 feet as gieat. In other
nords, the artillery positions at thy dis
posal of tho attackers enjoy a command
of not less than Co feet over any pos
sessed by the defenders."
A POINT OF VANTAGE.
But .according to Colonel pollock, on
the left bank of tho tl'lluxioii. ti tributary
stream which falls Into (lie Alsne at
Vlcsurn.AIsne, a convenient tpur Juts out
westward, from behind which un open
tteld of lire extends for about WOu yards
"long the right bank of the Aisre, and
suns there ported would be iultuMkfu
agaliibt anything but chance shells trom
lioulUuis, which might coucelvabl drop
on their lurking iil.Ke tn-aumliiK this to
have been indicated by aviators. There.
Is no commanding position whatever
from which illiecl fire could be brought
to bear on guns placed behind the spur
In nutation.
Tlie point that Colonel Pollock makes
In this connection Is that uhil" the actual
passage of tho Alsne by well-trained and
valoious tioops would Involve in many
plans no Insuimouutable tllllleulty. tho
jupponlng artllleiy cliectually piewnl
Jiig the enemy fiom uUVilng serious it
Ibtuiice. the conditions bet time verj dif
ficult froi.i the moment whin the attack
ers begin to mount the slopes ieund the
river In face of urtillurj, in.uhiuc guns,
nil rifles securel placed where It is im
possible to reach them from the opposite
bank. Fortunately, he udds. the difficulty
confronting a Hank utlack diiectly over
the Alsne Is far less und In his opinion
ueli attack can bo kUccissfully made.
MAY MAKE HISTOIIU ItKCOim
"Meanwhile," Colonel PolUck fiays In
eone-lusloi, "then H alo anotl-rv factor
of the problem which nt mt certainly
exercised a wolghty Influence. Von
Kluk's defeated army, wo may be quite
sure, Is not that which brought tho pur
suit to a standstill. Von Buelow without
doubt, moved up his own army to occupy
and entrench tho most favorable posi
tions on the right bank jt the river, In
anticipation of Von Kluk's retirement
behind it.
"Itope,itcd failures In tho nctual condi
tions cannot havo been otherwise than
costly, and wo must therefoic prepare
ourselves for a very heavy list of casual
ties, as well ns for further delay pending
tho exercise of strong pressure upon the
enemy's right flank.
"If the purely frontal attack succeeds,
the passage of tho Alsno will bo tho
most remarkable of all recorded In history."
FEW CANARIES COME NOW
SINCE THE WAR STARTED
Shipments From Germany Cease and
the Prices Are Mounting1.
Somo things the Ocrnmni made before their
'trtulc was halted by tho war
Wo do not find It difficult to manufacture
here;
Ilut when wc get tho fateful word that bars
tho Deutsch canary bird
From Import to the U. S. A., It makes the
prospect drear.
Nono would object but rtrltons If this warfare
ahnuld desparrow us;
But losing tho canary bird Is surely bound to
jiunuw u,
Tim European war has cut off the sup
ply of canary birds. The birds come from
tho Kurtz and St. Andrewsbcrger Moun
tains In the heart of tho war country.
Tho nil ds are extremely scarce In Phila
delphia. The regular importation of the "golden
throated songsters," as they are termed
In tho catalogues, ceased with tho start
of the war. It Is teported that a largo
shipment has been Anally started to this
city from Holland, whence It had been
sent overland from Germany, but there
Is no hope of being able, the dealers
say, to eatlsfy the demand which Is al
way greatest nt this time of year and
during tho holldav season.
One fancier said todny that In other
yearn he has had from -ICO to 500 birds In
stock, but that now he hns less than 100.
"I can't get any more anywhere at any
price," he said. "Of the one shipment
that has gotten through I was nblo to
procure four dozen. What will happen to
the Christmas trndo when ordinarily I
sell 700 birds I do not" know. In conse

THENTON. Sept. 30. -Today was
"farmers' day" ut the Inturstatu Fait,
and the inrul sections of New Jersev
and parts of I'cnnsylvunia were repre
sented by thousands of farmers, their
sons, tlanghteis, sweethearts and wives.
W'jo ciQwding tho exhibits of gteatest
li,i est to them, such as ngtlcultural,
ht.lculturnl, poultty, farm Implement,
machinery and domestic displays, they
also took nu Intel est In thu fair gener
ally and wcie sten ji the midway and
ut the luits.
The display of automobiles drew the
latgest crowd today, when nil kinds of
motor ichlcles wero lt evidence.
The freaks In thu sUlo shows and the
fakers outsldo did a thriUng business.
All were liberally pitronlzed by the
jural lsltois. who weie out to enjoy
themselves legardless of expense.
One of the must sensational feats at
tho fair Is the ulr-liiug of Chailes F.
NiUs, a .'l-car-oln aviator, who, with
a een-eyllnaer, M-horeepower' mono
plane, climbs .'JjO feet into the ulr autl
makes a coiktctew descent. His most
daring uiaiiriit-ci Is to lly In u elide with
his machiuo Inverted. Niles u-inaliied in
the nlr today more than half an hour ami
Imitated the birds In many of their tlliig
feats, winning frequent applause from
the admiring crowds below.
Tomorrow, "big Thursday." will be
"politicians' di" at the fair. Governor
Fielder. tnan of the State oftleljls and
scons of the candidates of thu three
parties, ftepublican, Democratic and Hull
Moose, will attend, The politicians will
bo the guests of the fair management.
They always draw a Urge crowd to the
exposition.
AICBON, O., Sopt. 30. Sullenly refus
ing to add to his signed confession that
ho brutally murdered pretty 23-j car-old
Vlnnlo Becker, mission worker, Harry
Boomor, 26 years old, today prepared to
tell his story to the Summit County
Grand Jury.
Boomer with utter calm, pollco say,
told how he entered tho little Barges
street tea store where Vlnnlo Becker
was the clerk, how he proposed to rob
the store, she recognized him nnd he
struck her down, then finished the mur
der with a heavy stcol hatchet; how ho
sunk tho weapon to the handle In tho
victim's skull and fled with $62, tho con
tents of the cash register.
"I was broke. I went to the store to
rob it. The girl said, 'How are you,
Harry?' Sho stooped over a barrel to
get some oatmeal. I struck her. Sho
said, 'Oh, Harry!' Then I killed her"
This confession, pollco say. Is in tho
hands of County Prosecutor H. F.
Castle and will be presented to tho
Summit County Grand Jury which is
now in session.
Boomer formerly worked in tho tea
store, nnd knew the routine of tho
establishment. He waited until Fred M.
Becker, tho proprietor nnd brother of tho
dead girl, left the place, then entered
and cartled out what police say is one of
the most wnnton minders In the history
of Ohio criminal nnnals.
He confessed how In primitive manner
he fashioned a rude tomahawk of wood
that he lound In a lumber yard. This
weapon, the confession says, was aban
doned when the murderer found a heavy
steel hatchet hanging on the wall of the
little back room where he attacked his
victim.
A modem cash register proved tho key
of solution to tho murder mystery. Three
pel sons knew the combination to tho
electric apparatus. These were Boomer,
Miss Becker nnd her brother, the pro
prietor. Suspicion naturally pointed to
Boomer. Ho was found at his home last
night, and nfter a brief struggle, In
which ho nttempted suicide with a newly
purennsed revolver, he surrendered and
confessed.

It has been proposed to reduce the tax

would be unwisp to place a heavy bur
den on bank capital nt this time because

tho European war.
Advocates of this change would revise
the gasoline clause and place a tax on
automobiles based on horsepower Instead
of the levy of two cents a gallon on gas

loss of revenue due to the cut In the
