TO JllDfiE WARFARE
Tells Belgian Commission and France and Germany IT. S. Cannot Pass Judgment.
WASHINGTON, Sept 17.—Formal notice was given to the world late yesterday by President Wilson that the United States at this time cannot pass judgment upon or take any part in controversies between the warring European nations over alleged violations of the rules of civilized warfare and humanity. He said settlement of these questions would have to wait until the end of the war, which he prayed might be very soon.
The pt-esldent announced the position of the American government first in an address to the commission sent to him by the king of Belgium to protest against alleged atrocities committed by the German army. Later he sent a cablegram along similar lines to the emperor of Germany, replying to the latter's recent protest that the allies were usirigFdum-dum bullets.
The Belgian commission was received at the white house with formal ceremony.
Mr. Wilson read his prepared reply. "It would be unwise, it would be premature," he said, "for a single government: it would be even inconsistent with the neutral position of any nation which like this has no part in the contest to form or express a final judgment."
President Wilson, in reply to the message recently received from Emperor William, protesting against the alleged-use bj the allied armies of the dum-dum bullets, said he had read tne communication with the gravest concern, but that it would be unwise and premature for the United States to express any final Judgment in the controversy.
The message was almost identical with the speech made by the president to the Belgian commission, which protested against alleged German atrocities.
A cablegram replying to the protest of President Poincare, of France, who claimed that the Germans were using dum-dum bullets, was also prepared.
It was not made public, but was known to follow closely the text of the president's message to Emperor Willlam.
BLOCK SWINDLE GAME
Seven men, charged with operating an alleged swindle game at the fairgrounds, were arrested Thursday afternoon and at police headquarters gave the names of C. G. Morgan, in charge of the game George Martin, R. J. McDonald, M. J. EadirOtv Harry Miller, James Brady and C. G. Morrow, alleged tappers.
B. N. Douglas, ari aged farmer of Hillsdale, appeared as a prosecuting witness. He said he lost $40 by "laying money on certain numbers on a cloth." The men had $116 in bills and $32 in silver when arrested.

PARIS, Sept.. 17 —7 a. m.—The rear guard action supposed at first to be intended as a check to pursuit and to facilitate the retreat, of the mass of the armies of Generals Von Kluck and Von Buelow has developed Into what will probably be called izi history tne Battle of Aisne. Whether the Germans found it necessary or advisable to turn and engage in a general action, this great battle wages fiercely and rivals in importance the battle of the Marne.
The war office says that the French have not flinched at any point, This sounds as if they were on the defensive and this might be so in view of the strength of the position the Germans occupy. The official communication Sunday said that the French and English had crossed the Aisne. If so they have the river at their back while the Germans are strongly intrenched in
The undetermined element In this fight is the allies' right, which is in pursuit of the crown prince's army. All reports indicate that the latter is quite as demoralized as was Von Kluck's army and suffering equally from lack of provisions and ammunition. While Von Kluck has no doubt received what he needs in this respect it is doubtful if the crown prlnoe has.
The issue of the battle may depend upon in what condition the crown prince reaches the front and whether he can make a stand and prevent the allies ft-om turning the German left
Not Ready for Peaoo,
Some of the military experts still think that the Germans hope by this action only to oheok the on-rosh of the allies, and that later they will take up the defensive on the Namur llna There was credit even for a rumor current yesterday that Emperor William had ordered Gen, Von Kluck not to resist in France, and that he was ready to

listen to offers of peace through Pope Benedict XV or President Wilson, but the steady stream of wounded coming from the front seems to disprove this, and indicates that the battle will be to a finish.
There is still no confirmation of the report that the Indian cavalry have landed in France and are ready for action. Paris is filled with rumors of the imminent co-operation of these troops as well as of ^the Russians, but the reports are without definite founda tion.
In a dispatch reporting the rout of 3,000 German cavalry between Hooglede and Poperinghe, Belgium, the name of the cavalry forces operating against them is censored. This combat was violent, and many automobiles with quick flrers and ammunition and provisions were captured, though the Germans were said to outnumber their opponents 3 to
