The prOgress to the west of Noyon threatens the German right and the advance between Rheims and the Argonne threatens their line: of retreat and communications through Stcnay. The deduction of the military experts here is that. the wearincss shows more decidedly in the German camp. .

Todayis the seventh day,of the battle of the Alene, the most violent of the three. but the limit of human endurance seems to have been reached as the intensity of the struggle has diminished in front of Rheims. At Craonne. after a brief lull, the fighting has be- come fierce again and the losses of the Germans were in- creased. Here alone, of the whole. line, hand to hand fighting occurt'ed yesterday. Every where else the invaders left the attack to the “Brummers,” as they call the im~ mensc mortars which did so much damage to the Catli- edral of Rheims. “It may be well asked if the result of the lavish use , , of these immense projectiles between five and six feet long, is a good investment, as the serious damage of the Rheims Cathedral has had only the result of increasing . LONDOV. Sept. 22. 9. 56 a. AIL—The dearth of of- ficiai news this morning from the long battle front in the western area of the u or has led to the usual crop of ru- more. These attract interest, and in tile minds of some people. are important from the facts that originating si- multaneously at ividclv distant points‘,.they seem more ’or less to confirm‘ each other. The unsubstantiated report from Antwerp to the effect that General v’on Kluck, the commander of the German right wing, has removedcliis headquarters back to Mona completes these rumors: The latest official communication from Paris. even more laconic than \lsuai, declares that the allies are make .i ing progress between Rlicims and the Argonne, although the fighting yesterday was less violent. A woudded Brit- ish Officer who has returned to Paris from- the front has ~' . supplemented the official news with the declaration that the allies, 9n their left, havé advanced seven miles Berlin, however reports that the German counter at- tacks about Rheims‘ have resulted in their capture of he strong -hill positions' at.Crn§n-ne,. :8 miles northv est of . “gray. ‘3. ~r a . of the broken Austrian-armies in Galicia.
