A dearth of official news from the Jong battle from the front in France has raised the usual crop ol rumors, the principal ot which is that Gen eral von kluck, commanding the German right wing, has ireinoved his headquarters hack to Mons, in Belgium. Tho wall.s and towers of the Rheinis Cathedral ar.c still standing, but it is not believed that they are strong enough to endure much more bombardment. Nowhere else along the battle line is any great effort being made to carry a frontal attack and unless one side or the other executes an outflanking movement, Rhcims may witness the most de risive buttle of the war. Belgian sorties continue from the shelter of Antwerp, but neither the Belgians nor the Germans have brought about any real changes in their relative positions. From Petrograd come stories of the continued flight of the broken Austrian armies in Gtilicia, while at the sanio time Vienna declares these armies are reorganizing for an offensive action. The Russians claim still further victories against the Austrian forces attempting to reach Oracow. That the Austrian army in not as badly demor alized as first reported is indicated by tho admission from Betrograd of the determined nature of tho four days' as sault which preceded the re-capture of Lemberg. FRENCH STATEMENT OF BATTLE IS (Dy Associated Press to Coos Day Times.) PARTS, Sept. 22.

Another day has gone and neith er Germany nor the allies lay claim to any decisive out come in the battle of the Aisne, where the supreme con flist of the war, up to the present time, has long been raging. The engagements seemed to be partaking of the nature of a siege. It appears today that nothing but a flanking movemcut 'ould have gained ground at the central and eastern end of the battle line while the allies claim to have thrown back General von Kluck in the west. Dispatches from Servian sources lay claim to further victories over the Austrians along the River Drina. They say the Austrians have been driven across the Drhw to the Austrian side with heavy losses. IS s AUSTRIANS ARE BADLY DEFEATED (Dy Associated Press to Coos Day Times.? PI3TROGRAD, Sopt. 22.
