LONDON, Hept. 'JO, 8 a. in. In bin
review of the nltuatlon ot tho battle
In northern Franco, tho I'arla cor
respondent of the Timer, nay:
The Trench loft continued to mako
progrcnii. Ou the other hand, tho
(IcrniaiiN havo attained no apprecia
ble advantage from their micccm ou
(tin helghtr; of tho Meuno. Tho
breach thry mndo Ih too narrow to
permit Of the pannngo of tho Metinc
by forccn In sufficient numbern.
"Nothing decisive baa jel oc
curred but tho scanty iigwh available
Is certainly to tho advantago of tho
allies rather than to tho enemy. The
furious battle of tho Alnuo In a sold-'
ler'a battle In tho nenso that ground
Is won ami the final victory must bo
attained by tho courago and tenacity
of the Infantry. On no point along
tho glgaullo lines has tha Anglo
Troncb wall been pierced.
"Tho (ierniau center still holds
strongly. In fact it seems clear, as
pointed out by Colonel Iloussct, tho
military critic of tho Liberie, that
the Germans havo received orders to
break through tho French lino any
whora and at any cost. Tho Hussion
steam roller has come, too close to be
any longer disregarded and it in felt
by tho German general staff that a
decisive siicccsit must bo won against
tho allies in tho western theater of
war in order that Germany may be
ablo lo turn Its attention, with some
assurance, to tho victorious advanco
of tho Itiisslaus.
"Tho enemy continues to fight with
great fury at certain points of tho
line, though tho action Is generally
less Intense along tho Immcnso battlo
front. A narrow strip of territory
which they succeeded In gaining as
tho result of violent attacks was lm
modlatoly ro-won by tho allies who
captured cannon, prisoners and
flags."

LULL AT AISNE
DEAD ON FIELD
1 'Alt IS, Sept. , lij-20 u. in. Tho
comparative calm on the French bat
tle line yrsterduv utter SundiivV
storm of shot mid shell was a sur
prise. It wiiK Mippo-cd that the ex
treme violence of the flcnunti ultaek
mean a determination to finish the
eampai-.Mi ou the Aisne by hi caking
the allies' lino at nil costs, ami the
pressure, it was expected, would con
tinue, esKeially on Hie allies' left,
where the Germans bad hroudit up
reinforcements.
The center, however, was the only
point seriously attacked, probably ou
the siipositiou that tl e line here had
been weakened to reinforce tho left.
Ono theory is thai the armistice of
four hours grunted bv the French for
burying the dead win not sufficient
and Hint Iho iuvailcn needed the en
tire dav lo get rid of Ihe bodice en-eumberiii"-
the trcuchcH and another
is Hint it further shifting of troops is
in progress meparnlory lo n violent
shock elsewhere, all efforts ugninst
the left having failed.
Ill tiny ease the opinion is prevalent
here that the (lonuaiu are losing vnl
liable lime and that a return of the
bad weather would ucihtips find them
still burrowed in tho chalky clay of
the Ait.no district --.) that thev will
aguin bo forced to rneover them
selves by invadin floods.
Military operations in the 'extreme
east of the Vosges nnd in Alsace
have been hindered by had weather,
as there is snow on tho heights mid
floods in the valleys. The Whine is
much swollen, while tho Holier, 111
nnd Thur rivers havo overflowed,
Tho plain between the Muclhuiiscu
and the mountains is under water to
it great extent and it Is impossible
lo move heavy artillery, which gives
an advantage to the allies, who have
comparatively light guns.
llotli sides, however, a to handi
capped, and if the hud weather con
tinues' it will havo thu result of pro
louu'ing the campaign on both sides
of the Vosges and in the Ardeuuo
region.

Battle Result Key-Dutch Watch
ful of Neutrality.
ItOTTBttDAM, Sept. 20, via Lon
don, 10:50 a. m. The activity along
the Dclglan frontier Indicator that
the Germans aro planning for a bIoro
of Antwerp within a few days. Moro
than 25,000 men of tho German
naval reserve havo been brought from
tho North Sea towns of Kiel and
Hamburg to Urussels and aro being
hold In readiness to servo on an
Improvised German fleet should Ant
werp and Ostcnd bo taken.
Dutch Watchful
As a direct result of this movo
tho Dutch authorities along tho
Scheldt havo increased their watch
fulness, for during a slego of Ant
werp, England mjght like to send
reinforcements through the Dutch
Scheldt, which would bo a breach ol
neutrality, whllo on the other band t
German victory would bring danger ot
an attempt on the part of Germany to
uso tho mouth of tho Scheldt as a
baso trom which to attack the Brit
ish naval forces In the North Sea.
Communications with Antwerp
havo been almost suspended. Tho
town can be reached by automobile,
whllo ono small freight line from
Rotterdam maintains a desultor"
dally scrvlco. Only thoso provided
with extraordinary passports and first
class credentials, aro admitted.
Tho fear of German spies has
somewhat subsided. Meantime, how.
ever, all Gorman and Austrian sub
Jects havo been expelled and oven
thoso who aro of German and Aus
trian descent but whp havo been Hoi
glan subjects for many years, havo
been placed under strict military
guard In and around tho trlanglo
formed by Ostend, Ghent and Ant-
werp.
Great llattle Key
Tho moment for tho actual slogo
of Antwerp, according to tho best
Informed circles hero, will depend on
tho outcome of tho present battlo In
Northern Franco. Should Gormany
win In this battlo tho attack on Ant
werp will be pushed at onco, whllo Iu
caso of n German defeat, tho troops
now- holding tho lino of tho Scholdt
will bo used to resist any Belgian at.
tempt to cut tho routo of tho retreat

It is Imposslblo to get correct fig
ures regarding tho strength ot tho
German troops, but acording to the
best Information to bo had from
Brussels enough German troop trains
havo passed through that city sfneo
