MEAGRE BAM NEWS SHOWS RIVAL CLAIMS

Agrees, However, That Struggle of Intense Fierceness Wages Along Extended Line.

LONDON, Sept. 18—1 p. m.—As has been the cft.se heretofore when the struggle along the vast battle line In France has been most acute the public In Germany as well as in France and England haft been fotced to content itself with the most meagre news of the progress of military operations. Experience has shown that extended statements are Issued only after the retirement or the temporary defeat of one army or the other.

The information this morning sets fofth laconically that the battle raging with great fierceness along the whole front, which extends, roughly speaking, from the river Oise near Noyon to the German fortress of Metz but barring a slight retirement of the German right wing at certain points no decided advantage is credited to either side.

Presumably the efforts of the allies' have been divided into three supreme struggles first, to dislodge the Germans from the heights of the Alsna second, to break through the fourth and fifth German armies at the center third, to outflank the German right under Gen. Von Kluck. The position of the fourth and fifth German armies is considered not so strong as the remainder of tho line, while if the flanking movement is successful the railroad linen on which the Germans depend would be cut.

Paris Still Goal.

While the next move of either army is a matter of speculation, the pres3 of London dwells todAy upon the possibility that the Germans are striving only to hold the strong positions they now have assumed, with the view of keeping the allies at bay and thus affording Emperor William an opportunity to rush more troops to his eastern frontier.

On the other hand, it would be no surprise if the Germans, now reinforced, should attempt another aggressive movement similar to the one which the allies inaugurated so successfully after the invaders had exhausted the. lelves in the avalanchelike rush tov o"d Paris. "^he German losses are estimated here at 3,200 daily for the last fortnight. This totals more than 44,000 since September 4. As the losses of the allies are knottm to be tremendous and adding the terrible losses suffered by an Austrians in G&licia, some idea may be gained of the extraordinary sacrifices of men during these first few weeks of the modern world's greatest war.

Servians Defeated.

No Confirmation has been received here of the reported Servian evacuation of Semlin nor have the brief dispatches bringing this rumor told whether the Servian retirement was due to strategic reasons or a result of the onslaught of the Austrians aided by gunboats which are reported to haVe bombarded Semlin.

Bvfen preliminary talk of peace seems to be resented by the British public. IMsfpatches on the subject have aroused considerable discussion, the majority of Opinion being that peace at present is Out of the question.

house following a dareful study of the message which Ambassador Gerard cabled giving his recollection of an Informal CohVersation with the imperial German chancellor.

Until something mom tangible and more definite in the way of overtures comes from the belligerents the president feels that his hands are virtually tied. To undertake to elicit terms from Great Britain, France and Russia, as Germany suggested, would place the president, ho believes* in a delicate position in view of what Sir EJdward Grey has told Ambassador Page.

The British foreign secretary recently took the position that the war had- been forced on Great Britain, that the neutrality of Belgium had been disregarded and that It would be necessary to crush German militarism before the allies could be safe agalnsrt new attacks and before the treaty of peace would be worth a "scrap of paper."'

Sir Edward spoke of the earnest wish of the triple entente for peace, but said they oould make no comment until they had received a definite statement of terms from Germany and Austria. Substantially the same position was taken by France and Russia and communicated to the American embassy as well as their ambassador hern

ernment, through Ambassador Gerard, depends upon the attitude of the alll&s. "As long as they talk of crushing' and dismembering Germany there is no possibility of peace. I am quoting Premier Acqulth and other Englishmen. I have no Idea that Germany could be crushed or dismembered. "No lasting peace Would be possible if a square inch of German terri* tory was given up. That applies ti the colonies of Germany as Well as the German empire itself. It is perfectly clear that if any territory was taken Germany would again arm to the teeth."

Count Von BernstorfT W«LS asked if it was possible that peace in Europe might lead to German disarmament "That," he replied, "would depend upon the sentiment with which iteace was entered into by the allies." LL. I l- 11
