ALLIES' ATTEMPT TO CUT THROUGH LINE OF GERMANS FAILS Sortie From Verdun Has Been Repulsed by Kaiser's Army; Austrian Advices Report That Servians Have Evacuated Semlin Which Was Seized When Invasion Was Started; Germans Are Reported to Have Pushed Their Way Into Russian Poland An official statement issued at Berlin says that the battle be tween the Oise and the Meuse rivers continues with sure indications that the allies are falling back. It is declared that the French attempt to cut through the German right wing failed and a sortie from Ver dun or the right bank of the Metisc was repulsed. The German army is said to be advancing slowly but surely. This statement evidently was issued late yesterday as the sub stance of it was received in this country under date of September 17. It was announced officially in Paris at 3 o'clock this afternoon that the allies had progressed somewhat. The western wing was declared to have repulsed a vigorous German offensive. In proroguing Parliament to-day King George said that he was compelled to go to war for the protection of the public law of Europe and the vital interests of the empire and that fighting for a worthy I purpose, Great Britain would not lay down her arms until that pur pose had been fully achieved. Austrian adv ices report that the Servians have evacuated Semlin, the town which they seized when they began their invasion of Hun gary. Servian reports are to the effect that their successes continue. The Germans successfully driving the Russian invaders from East Prussia are reported pushing their way into Russian Poland. The Austrian armies following their disastrous clash with the Rus sians in Galicia are believed to be attempting to reform at Cracow.

St. Margaret, Tirle mont and the lighting before Uege, returned home to-day on board the steamer Cretic. Van De Velde was visiting his parents In Belgium when the war started and he enlisted as a reservist.

In the pause of the thunder of the huge guns, the infantry and cavalry units scat tered along the line are being flung in to the fray without appreciable effect on its outcome. official statement, written by a starr officer who has been on the scene of the operations and which is author , . d ,. by tho British War Office, gives details of the actions, closing with the crossing of the Aisne, but only the most meager communications have beon issued concerning the fighting of the last two days. Roughly speaking, the line of the ad vance of the allies is threaded by six livers, four of which have already been crossed. The crossing of the Marne. marking the assumption of th« ag gressive by the allies, was purely a rear guard action in which Beneral Von Kluck cleverly kept the German right from being outflanked. So far a* the British were concerned the passage of the Ourcii was not contested. The Vesle river was only lightly defended by the Germans, while as is now well known, the resistance of tho Germans at the Aisne was and still is of tho most stubborn character on both the French and British fronts. If the allies hold the shore across the Aisne, which they gained despite the heavy artillery fire from German bal teries from heights above tho river, the Ailette and the Oiso remain to be crossed. The country between the Aisne and the Ailette is Ideal for de fensive purposes and if the German army holds the Aisne heights for a few days defensive works can be con structed along the other two rivers, which may delay the allies' advance on German artillery for a long time. On the other hand, If the Germans resume the offensive, tho country now occupied by them affords an excellent operating base. Allies Are Repulsing Advance of Germans Paris, Sept. 18. 3:09 P. M.
