BRITAIN PREPARING HER SECOND ARMY.
London, Sept. 26. The second British army, and the
first of the volunteer army, is almost ready for the field
King George and Queen Mary today reviewed a part of it
at Alderschot One hundred and fifty thousand of the
best class men in the nation, youthful, rosy cheeked, ath
lethlc, were drawn up on the great parade ground to be in-?
spected by their sovereigns before they are sent across
the channel to become targets for the bullets of the
enemy. It was an impressive sight. These men were
really good to look upon; and it caused a shudder to
reflect what was in store for them. Not all were uni
formed, but all had been fairly drilled and knew what "K. of K." Earl
Kitchener-considers the chief requisite of a soldier how to shoot. As
they swept across the field, they filled the eye, those that were in khaki as
much as those who were in mufti, and even the king showed emotion as
he gazed.
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, even the colonies, were represented
In the mass. Few of the men were much over 25. The average age was
about 26. Each company represented some particular locality.

GERMANS CROSS MEUSE SOUTH VERDUN
Berlin, via The Hague, Sept 26,-r-It was officially
announced tonight that the Germans have crossed the
Meuse river south of Verdun, and that the Bavarian army
has occupied the outer works of the fortress Camp Des
Romains, which forms a part of the St. Mihiel fortifica
tions. It was from the latter point that it became pos
sible to string the pontoons and permit the crossing of
the Meues after a fortnight of the hardest sort of fight
ing. It is said that a large part of the Bavarian army is
already on the west bank of the Meuse, and that the array
of the crown prince is moving south-from Montfaucon
to effect a junction with it.
This is the only point where there has been any dis
tinct successes. There have been new -engagements on
the extreme right, which still continue. In the neighborhood of Noyon the
Germans have gained nearly 10 miles, but at most points of the conflict on
the German extreme right there have been partial advances and recessions
with neither side gaining any notable advantage. There has been no fight
ing along the center.

EVERY GERMAN ATTACK IS REPULSED
Paris, Sept. 26s The positive declaration that the
German attack in force had everywhere been repulsed
along the entire line of battle was made tonight Gen
eral Gallieni, in making public the official report issued
at Bordeaux at 11:10 tonight and telegraphed here,
stated that the situation generally showed improvement.
He declared that the ground gained by the Germans in
their raid on the French left has all been recovered, and
that the French still held the heights of the Meuse, and
are repulsing every attempt by the Germans to gain a
foothold on the west bank of the river.
The official declaration from Bordeaux was couched
in more confident terms than the earlier statements of
the afternoon.
"The German attack along the entire front has everywhere been re
pulsed," said the statement. "The French are steadily gaining ground on
the left d are continuing their turning movement We are also making
slow, but certain, gains in the Woevre district-while the situation on the
heights of the Meuse is still unchanged."

RUSSIANS TRY TO OPEN ROAD TO PERLIN
Petrograd, Sept 26. The lines are being, drawn for
the crucial battle of the Russian campaign against the
Austro-German forces. The next big battle undoubtedly
will be fought in front of Cracow, and it probably, wiU
, -IfiSLK be decisive.
'-aIILH The Russians want this rosition because it will open
an easy road to Breslau, and the German and Austrian
commanders realize that they must hold Cracow if they
would protect Silesia and the road to Berlin from the
czar's troops.
Three corps of the Germans main army have taken
possession of Cracow, replacing the Austrian garrison and army of defense.
The beaten Austrian troops in Galicia are racing for Cracow's defense.
The Russians have captured Rzeszow, a town on the railroad leading into
Cracow, and have also taken two fortified positions to trie north and south
of Przemysl. In east Prussia General Rennenkampf has succeeded in resum--ing
the offensive, and has driven the Germans back past Soldau, which the
Russians now occupy. Rennenkampfs forces have penetrated the Masur
Lake region. r-

BUT ENGLISH FEAR AN
ATTACK FROM THE AIR
(Br the International News 8rrriee.)
Paris, Sept. 26. The entire Ger:'
man army' opened an attack, appar
ently preconcerted, along the whole
length of the front from the Olse to
the Meuse today, but everywhere the
effort to break down the French of
fensive was repulsed and enormous
losses were .suffered by both sides.
Appreciable progress was made by
the allies operating against the be
leaguered right wing under .General
von 'Kluck. and irv the Woevre region
further Krench. gains were reported.
On the heights of the , Mease, how
ever, according to the official bullo
tin issued at midnight. by the . war
office, j the MtuaZUufr,Jhh-JgtfMb

ParUtaUarty Vlelent were : the en
gagement taat ensued Where the
BrltlsB and the French, supported by
the Turews and Moors, -. aelne into
contact - with Geeeral vftn Klack's
right' flank between the Somme and
the Olae.
The fighting was from trench to
trench, alternate gains and losses find
ing first the defenders, then the at
tackers in the long lines of trenches
where the rival armies had dug them
selves in. Many entrenched positions
were taken and retaken successfully
in furious hand-to-hand encounters in
which the bayonet was used with dead
ly effect.
Between the Olse and Solssons the
-German attack was delayed, but when
- the lull ceased the eannonading and
small arms fire was doubly terrific.
Following their splendidly courageous
resistance during the past two days of
the determined and valiant charges of
Freneh and British Infantry, supported
by an incessant rain of shells from the
big guns stripped from the Paris de
fenses, the invaders attempted a sortie
in force at a point north 'of Soisaons
but were repelled with heavy leases.
Oetnau Cross the Meuse.
A situation rivaling in gravity that
on .the 'French left has arisen- along
the Meuse, where the Germans, who
have been directing the attack on the
French forts between Verdun and
Toul in a determined offensive move
ment have succeeded in crossing to
the west bank of the Meuse near St.
Mihiel. : Mast of .the enemy were driv
en back to the left bank after furious
fighting from the .heights, in which
thfrr artilMtry and tapid gfens
played havoc with the solid German
masses, but many of the Invaders suc
ceeded ' in gafningva- f dothald 4n the
low hills, where they continue to
threaten the French- position.
.What the allies are attempting
against the German, right, the- jQer
maha are trying to do to the French
eastern army. Verdttjriis the great!
obstacle to the German alignment la
a straight i front , from' the Oiae to :
Metz, which, if established, would se
cure their lines ' ef communicatloa
through Luxemberg and Metz.
It would also permit them to regain
the ground lost by the Crown Prince
when he was forced to withdraw and
establish his headquarters at Mont
faucon following his first attack on
the Verdun fortifications.
Manse Kay Be Keystone.
If the allies are compelled to
evacuate Verdun and Toul and the
intervening fortified positions they
will be placed in the same predica
ment as is von Kluck on the German
right. The French center, lacking
the shield which the strength of
this line of forts affords It, would be
forced to withdraw southward, en
tailing a new general alignment of
the allied forces in a more northerly
and southerly direction. Thus the
Meuse may become a keystone posi
tion of relative importance with that
of St. Quentin, against which the al-
