LONDON PREPARES . FOR LENGTHY WAR Idea of Quick Conclusion Dropped, While German Successes Dampen Ardor. BY LEASED WIRE.l LONDON, Sept. 2. The idea that the war should be short and decisive Is being dispelled here. One personage who Is accredited as being "perhaps the highest military expert in Europe" said: ' "The result of this war cannot be doubted, but it will he a long war." According to the announcement of the French war office given out at midnight, the northwest wing of the allied army has Its battlefield for the next stage of the conflict. This statement follows: ' "On our left wing, as the result of the turning movement of the German army, our troops retired toward the south, and southwest. In the region of Rethel, our forces have arrested the enemy temporarily. In the center, and on the right the situation remains unchanged. Fighting at Oise. The Chronicles correspondent at tn front (name of source of dispatch

deleted by censor) says that heavy

lighting is going on in tne vaney or the Oise southwest of La tere. His dispatch follows: ... "A third great battle involving the English is taking place in the upper Oise valley where the Germans are flinging their whole weight to force a wedge."

WARNS MERCHANTS TO BUY WEIGHT Mckinley to Enforce Law Calling for Net Weight on -Containers. Merchants and wholesale men of the city have been warned by George McKinley, city inspector of weights and measures, relative to the new Federal law which goes into effect tomorrow. The law is very stringent in many respects. It provides that all containers shall be marked with the net weight on the outside of the package. This will enable the dealers to buy and sell potatoes and other farm products by weight instead of measure. The law also provides that all foods lehipped here from outsidle the state must be marked with the net weight outside of the package with the exi ception of goods packed before September 3, 1914, or goods that are sold 'by count, such as eggs.

British Woman Captured by Germans Narrowly Escapes Being Shot. BY LAWRENCE ELSTON, International News Service Correspondent. LONDON, Sept. 2. The story of a mission of mercy which nearly had a tragic ending before a firing squad of German soldiers, was told here today by Mrs. L. C. Stobart. Mrs. Stobart went to Brussels to establish a hospital under the auspices

of the Red Cross, but she was arrested

, p-id carried into Germany. She has

arrived in London. "I was arrested while trying to get into Brussels through the German lines," she said. "There were several persons with me, and we were all taken in charge by the German military authorities near Louvain. Taken to Tongres. "We were placed in a coal truck, and taken to the Tongres. There we were submitted to insulting treatment because we were suspected as being spies. We spent the night in a guard room expecting to be shot. We feared that death was inevitable. On the following morning, however, we were ordered to be taken to Cologne. "Finally we were able to prove our innocence and were released. After numberless difficulties I reached the Holland coast, and sailed for England."

War Tabloids

LONDON The British government announces today that the losses thus far to the English forces on the Continent were 5,127 officers and men killed, wounded and missing. Meanwhile the slaughter goes on. That the French are giving ground caused the deepest gloom here. To this have been added the discomfiting news that St. Petersburg admits a big Russian reverse at Allenstein and the further rumor that the Germans have been successful in the vicinity of Lodz in Russian Poland. A rumor is current that Turkey has declared war on Russia. Communication with Constantinople has been cut off for three days, and such a declaration would cause no surprise. PARIS War Minister Millerand announced today that conditions at the front were much improved, although rumors are thick that the Germans have now advanced their wedge within 28 miles of the city. "The French lines are holding well and even where they have fallen back, they have strengthened our strategic position," says the war minister. The German army under the Crown Prince is reported to have invested Mezieres, 47 miles away while the Uhlans are seen several miles nearer the capital.

BY LEASED WIRE. BOULOGNE, France, Via London. A nightmare of panic lies without the range of the mighty battle zone in northeastern France, while within that zone is the unmeasured fury of strife. One has to go but a few miles southwestward from Boulogne to hear the thunder of battle, and all the cities in the districts from Dieppe to Storme are filled with fugitives. Many have been driven to the border of lunacy by despair. St. Quentin is described as racing with death. Abbeville is In a condition of hopeless confusion. Old Men Crowd Amiens.

The German soldiers burned the woodland so that their sweeping rush toward Paris would not be hindered by the forests. A Paris priest, who did work of mercy among the fugitives, came into Boulogne. He had been working with the Red Cross nurses. "What happened to the people?" he was asked. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he replied: "God alone knows; the horror of it. It is enough to shatter human reason to reckon upon it."

City Attorney to Request Commission to Allow Rate Decrease Soon. The instrument which the city will file in answer to the petition of the Light, Heat and Power company to the public utilities commission, probably will contain little or no reference to the competing company. City Attorney Bond will ask, however, that immediate action be taken on the rate decrease asked for July 26. He will show figures which Super

intendent Kleinknecht has collected which indicate that the receipts of the city plant for the year July, 1913 to July, 1914, were $112,000. The surplus, above operating expenses, was $63,000. A few Improvements are being made on the plant. Superintendent Klein-

knecht will erect a new transformer house to hold six constant current transformers, which are necessary for the new type of steet light to be installed this month. The plant is crowded for space for rheostats, transformers and switch

board panels. Two new switchboard

panels costing $524, have been ordered. The transformer house will be built by employes of the plant at a saving of $300.
