( Summary of Events )
The most destructive battle in
history has been in progress be-
tween the Germans and the
French-Uritish allies since Sep-
tember 12 with results yet inde-
cisive More than a million are
fighting on each side
During the first seven days of
the struggle 300000 men went
down either killed or wounded
according to reports from Paris
’ Loudon and Berlin Both sides
are receiving re-enforcements
Bteadily and the end of the en-
gagement is not in sight
This is the battle of the Aisne
river It began when the Ger-
mans retreating from the allies
after the rout from the suburbs of
Paris and the disastrous battle of
the Marne river crossed the
Aisne and embattled themselves
in the southern peaks of the Ar-
dennes mountains
They have mounted heavy siege
guns and fighting defensively
have been able to withstand the
constant assault of the allies
Military experts say this battle is
of great importance because its
outcome likely will be the turn-
ing point in the war
City of Rheims Bombarded
The fighting line of the two armies
la almost' 100 miles long extending
from Amiens In northwest France to
Verdun on the Alsatian border The
alliee have advanced alightly in the
eaat but the line haa weaved back and
forth In the western theater of battle
The ancient city of Rheima haa- been
bombarded by the Germane and the
famous cathedral built In the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries together
with other historic buildings has been
destroyed
I In the eastern field of war opera-
tions between the Russians and Aus-
trians and Russians and Germans have
been just as deadly as in the west
The Slavs have succeeded In blocking
Austrian and German advances Into
Russian Poland The weight of Rus-
sian numbers has carried the flag
closer to the heart of Austria and far-
ther westward in East Prussia Re-
ports vary but It Is safe to say there
are two million actually fighting In
the eastern field with millions of

GERMAN SHELLS DESTROY
THE RHEIMS CATHEDRAL
London— The Rheims correspond-
ent or the Daily Mail sends this story
of the damage wrought in the cathe-
dral there:
"The cathedral on Thursday had
been turned Into a hospital for the
German wounded eo as to secure for
the building the protection' of the Red
Crosa flag When the first shells
truck the roof everyone believed it
reserves moving forward on both
sides
The situation for Austria la desper-
ate She haa been hammered and In-
vad$d on the south by the Serbpnd
Montenegrins and with the failure or
her operations against Russia known
to the masses there has come revul-
sion against war Serious rioting
among the poor and the various Aus-
trian racial elementa haa occurred In
Vienna and Budapest
The Csar’a Peace Plan
From the Fkr East comes word that
the Japanese are closing in on the-
German naval base and colony at
Tslng Tao In the leasetPChinese pro
vlnce of Kalo Chow The British and
Australians have captured most of
the German Pacific poesesalona
A highly Interesting official report
from Petrograd saya the Cxar and hla
advisers have made plans for estab-
lishing the "United States of Europe”
which will be submitted to the world
at the close of the war The stated
purpose of this federation of nations
la the limitation of armaments
The authors of the plan state that
civilisation realises now or will real-
ise with 'the end of present hostilities
that "gun-toting” by nations is a con-
stant menace to peace and progress
Russia they say la awakening and
really wants to divert billions that
have gone to militarism to education
economic organization ard the de-
velopment of agriculture
Fight With Big Guns
London — The unparalleled struggle
on the River Aisne which commenced
more thanks week ago has developed
Into siege operations The two
armies strongly entrenched are carry-
ing on an artillery duel while the in-
fantry make attacks and counter at-
tacks which are in the nature of
sorties from a besieged fortress
Occasionally one or the other gains
a Ijtllg ground but It Is so little that
the opposing forces-remain in their
trenches or take up positions in new
entrenchments Immedlytely behind
those from which they are driven It
1 now becoming the conviction of
military men that nothing except out-
flanking movements can have any ser-
ious effect on either army
Say Carmans are Retiring
On the Battle Front (via Paris —
The western wing of the German line
has been thrust back about seven
miles In the last forty-eight hours as
a sequel to continuous fighting night
and day
Both armies despite almost super-
human fatigue show the utmost' de-
termination not to yield an inch of
ground without a terrible struggle
but the fresher troops at the disposal
of the allied commanders have grad-
ually forced the Germans to retire
Hand to Hand Fighting
Cold steel again played a consider-
able part In the battle of the enorm-
ous hosts fighting along the Aisne
the Oise and Woevre The most re-
markable point about the encounters
(s that the troops scarcely see each
other before they actually come hand
to hand
The recklessness displayed at the
beginning of the hostilities with the
resultant carnage through the nia
chine gnns almost has disappeared
and every movement of the attackinf

GERMAN SUBMARINES SUCCEED
IN 8ENDINQ THREE CRUIS-
ERS TO THE BOTTOM
21000 m IX THE THREE CREWS
Of Whom Leas Than Five Hundred
Are Reported Among the Res-
cued — Two ef the Subma-
rine j Are Sunk
London — The silence of the British
authorities regarding naval opera-
tions In thS North Sea was suddenly
broken by announcement of a disas-
ter to- the British navy which accord-
ing to official Information haa suffer-
ed the loss of three cruisers sunk by
German submarines
The victims of this brillant stroke
on the part of the German fleet are
the Creasy Abouklr and the Hogue
sister ships
The loss of life among the crew of
these three vesels probably wHl be
heavy although a considerable num-
ber of men were picked up by the
cruisers Loweateof a division of tor-
pedo boat destroyers and some traw-
lers Neither the time nor the scene of
the disaster Is given In the official re-
port The Abouklr waa torpedoed flrat
The Hogue and the Creasy drew In
does to her and wffre standing by to
save ber crew when they were tor-
pedoed Two of five German submarine
boats were sent to the bottom by the
British ships according to survivors
Wounded on Dutch Ship
A dispatch received from the Hook
of Holland says the Dutch steamer
Titon has arrived there-bringlng
twenty British wounded and some
dead picked up In the North Sea after
the sinking of the Brjtlsh cruisers
Abouklr Hogue and Creasy
The Ttton picked up 114 survivors
most of whom were transferred to
British torpedo boats
The steamer Flores arrived at
Ymuklen Holland with 287 surviv-
ors from the British cruisers sunk by
German submarines One dead and a
few wounded also were aboard
The list of the casualties among the
crews will be published as soon aa
they are known
The Creasy Captain Robert W
Johnson the Abouklr Captain John
E Drummond and the Hogue Cap-
tain Wllmot S Nicholson were sister
ships Tbey were armored cruisers of
a comparatively obsolete type and
were built fourteen years ago
These vessels had a displacement
of 12000 tone were 440 feet long 695
feet 'wide and drew twenty-six feet of
water Each one had a complement
of 755'men including officers and crew
These three cruisers had arma-
ments consisting of two 92 inch guns
twelve 6 Inch guns twelve 12 pound-
era and five 3 pounders The Abotr-
kir and the Creasy were built at Go-
van In 1900 and the Hogue was built
at Barrow In the same year
This was one of the things the Brit-
ish navy had been led to expect for
the Germane frankly had avowed that
their plan waa to reduce British naval
superiority by submarining raids and
the sowing of mines and they have
been training their young officers for
sallies of this kind
Nevertheless It came ae a shock to
Englishmen that big ships such aa
those sunk could so easily be attacked
nd destroyed while the German fleet
has remained safely In Its mine and
fortress protected harbors
