WHERE THE ALLIED OFFENSIVE IS BEING PUSHED.
The allied armies have pierced tne
German front in t hampacne, between
?. r.nifi and the Arjror.ne. and north of
Arras, at Souciiez and west of Lens. The
two positions which now otTcr greatest
promise of *-'i-cess for the as-silant!?
ate south of I.ille snd west of the Ar
gor.ne South of La Bass^e extends the
tj mile front tu Arra?. where the

? would cut the railroads

on the (lise and Aisne. The Allies are
Just outside of Lens, the greatest coal
. town in France, the capture of which
would compel the enemy to withdraw
on Lille and Pouai arid would makf I.a
Ha^-?e an extremely dangerous salient.
The Brit:.-h and French drive it nim>'d
at Namur. If the two armies could
meet behind the (?erman front ih? Ger?
mans would be enveloped. But at pres?
ent there is nothing to indicate mure
than a local allied success, with the
door open to greater victory.
Strategie Points Won
From Germans in West
?i.iitlnuril from pen? 1
s.iccess to the assailant. The country in the north is flat, there are many
roads and the French victory north of Arras in May gave the Allies pos?
session of the Lorette hills, which dominate the country for miles around.
South from Lille to La Bassee the (?erman line is apparently impreg?
nable, but south of La Bastee i? a front of some twenty miles to Arras
against which the Allies have delivered
their attack. An offensive pushed less
than twenty miles east to Douai would
cut the network of railroads upon
which the Germans between Lille and
St. Quentin depend. It would probabi)
compel the evacuation of the whole
German position on the Oiaa and the
Aisne. It might imperil Lilie so seri
a? to necessitate a retirement
here, too.
Importance of Lena.
Such an advance would be fhe max
imum of present possibilities. But the
possible local gain is not inconsiderate
Immediately in front of the British and
Krench lines, when the present au
vai Cl began, was the important city of
Lens, which is the greatest coal town in
Franee. It is siso the chief railroad
centre for the Germans on their front
from Lille to Noyon. To rapture it
would be to compel the Germans to
draw hack toward Louai. Its in?
vestment would transform La Basses
ir'o an extremely dangerous snlient,
would be a threat to Lille and would
give France her lost coal mine?, a valu?
able gain. It would also restore to
France one of the main trunk lines
from Farls to the north.
Judged by the reports that have so far
come, the French and British are still
halted outside of I et,s But fhe Brit?
ish have occupied and claim to hold
Hill No. 70, which is north of Lens and
dominates it at a distance of a mile.
The French to the south of the city,
perhaps ahree times as far away, have
seised the western slope of the V my
ridge, near Thelus, Both the British
and the French aie astride the Arras
La Bas-?e highway, one to the north,
the other 'o the south, of I.ens. I'nless
the British are dislodged, tie fate of
tela.
The fall of Lens, if it is to fall, will
make th.* La Bassee position perilous,
and the consequence of the British ad?
vance may well be a general (?erman
retirement upon Lille and Louai. Their
nee position would have the Lille-Cam
hrai-Paris railroad behind it and the
Douai-Lille canal in front of it m< it
of the distance, a.id might serve to huid
' up the Allies for a long period of timi
until another drive could be organize?
Bui such f.: advance would bring th
Allies perilously close to the main trun
1 ii.-s which feed the (?erman fron
from the Pomme to ( hampagne, an
any further Allied advance would mea
a retirement from France, possibl
under grave difficulties, if a sudden at
t.ick carried the aggressors to the Mon?,
i ambrai railroad.

to the rear of the main German com

could cut this th. Germans would have
:o retire behind the* Aisne, from < ia
onne to Rethel, and the whole threat
to the French barrii r fortreeses from
Hi*- north would be abolished. Op the
Other hand, such a retreat would ex?
pose the flank of the Germans holding

-?iit.
The old figure of the nut and the
cracker, used m the Warsay operation,
holds perfectly good here. One jaw of
the cracki r is the Anglo-French force
m Artois, the other the Frei eh lorce in
? hampugr.e. As the I rive in
Poland converged upon Brest-LitOVSk,
from the north and ti.e south, fhe Brit?
ish and French drive is aimed at
Namur. If they could meet behind the
German front the (?erman? wutiid ?>e
enveloped. But there is small prospect
of this. What i? possible is the*, the
' cutting of lines o.i both side? of the
salient will compel a German :
ment, to avoid envelopment, pr
? at of fhe Grand Duke in Poland.
Such a lesult is simply the maximum
of theoretical possibility. Actually the
h have almost turned the Ger?
mans out of Lens and the French have
almost laid hold upon the Pazancourt
railroad. But neither army has yet
finished the work incidental to winning
a considerable but purely local success,
which will have no immediate or
grandiose consequences. A break in the
deadlock in the West remains possible,
bul it aNo remains exceedingly un?
likely.
A Real (?erman Disaster.
On the other hand, the number of
prisoner? taken indicates a real Gel
man disaster, and the first ili.it the
French have supplied statistics for. At
the- Marne the Germans ? -*re defeated,
but the number of prisoners taken wa?
never announced. A total loss of be?
tween 60,000 and 70,000 may be reck
oned on the 20,000 prisoners claimed,
? while the haul of artillery and equip?
ment is considerable. This compares
with about h.iJOO prisoners taken by the
French in their lpst drive about Souchiz
and with less than 2,000 taken by the
British at Neuve- Chapelle. The extent
(>i the success remains to be discov?
ered, but it is by all odds the greatest
? since the Marne It is a real succs.s
' and it is a plain promise that the dead
| lock may ultimately be completely
? broken and an Allied drive maintam.-d
i to the French frontier.
1th moral effect upon the French and
British putdic and its political effect
in the Balkans can hardly be exagger?
ated. After six dismal and depressing
months the Allies have scored heavily
how heavily remains unknown but
oftlj a reverse can now remove'the ad?
rantagSS of two brilliant local suc?
cesses. The operation may yet prove to
i be "the great drive," but it has not yet
attained any such dimensions.

'I'm- biave German troops withstood

bombs of the Allies' airmen. The

London. Sept. 2?. "The Chronicle"
fives a story of th? Zeppelins' roid on
London, ss told by s member of the
crew In s letter which appear? in o
Swiss paper, "Her Bund." It runs:
"Of course London i? actually be?
yond our range, but if we can get an
east wind, Steady, snd can Host a con- i
sidersble distance, thus conserving our
petrel, it is ot once within range. I'n
iortunately the weather is the b?st
ally of tho?e Knglish. Either there is
no wind or it is too windy, or perhaps
it is bright moonlight.
"The beginning of the month of
?iber WM ideal, ?old night? ?et
,n with a steady east wind. We took
v. .lit BS fewer bombs, but of specially
large sue. London was the objective.
The river was to be our guide from
the sea. We were to conserve our
petrol by floating over. We started
very early, and by eight had arrived
over the mouth of the Thames. Owing
to ?ome clouds snd our engines being
-ilent we were not seen, as we had
expected.
"We were to successful that we nr
rived ?t the tiret bridge called the;
Tower, w? were ta cress to th?? north |
?side Sesrchlights.'caught u? here and
to lighten the ballonette we had to
throw the first bomb. Immediately the
"hole sky was ablaze with light from
huge projectors and the air was rent
with a terrific cannonade.
"The guns at llrst could not reach
us and we dropped bombs at regular
intervals, but shortly some 'Blitz' be?
gan lo play around us. We coui.i die*
cern dark spots of considerable size
in the general irlow of licht and here
we dropped our 'von Bohlens.'
"The searchlights hampered us more
than an/thing. They cut off the view
of our objectives.
"In spite of 'Blitz' we got rid of oui
cargo and afterward with all engines
working and plenty of essence, we
sped away for our base. Those Kng
hsh are terror-stricken by our wonder?
ful Zeppelin?. The effect must havj
been awful, because for over half Bl
hour we could see the glow of numer
ous fires in the sky.
"The Knglish iand guns are ?seles
and we don't mind them, but on th.*
coast they have seasa better ones and
we always have to be careful in return
ing. In the morning they always trv
to intercept us from Dunkirk, hut WS
now forestall them hy taking anothe.
direction. The great thing is alwej ?
to have plenty of essence, so that on
can never run short on the return when
the English Taubes are about."

Successes of the Allies in th? westerr

The impetus created by the wild up
ward rush in the war specloltio? carrier
with it for a tlm? th? more conserva
tive railroad stocks, and the end of th?
day's trading showed gain? rangin?;
from two to mor? than eighteen point*
' in many issue?.
More than 1.460,000 share? changed
hands, of which 460,000 were traded in
during the first hour. The activity was
' not alone confined to stocks, as the to?
tal of bonds sold during the day was in
excess of 55,000,000 larger than for any
five-hour session since last spring. The
fever of speculation was everywhere
apparent, from the odd lot buyer to the
millionaire who deals in nothing les?
than 1,000-shar? lots.
The trading in stock? at th? opening
of the market was on ?o large a scale
that the first bond transaction? did not
appear on the tape until after 11
o'clock, in contrast to the usual period,
a few minutes after 10 o'clock. It was
impossible for the operators of the
stock tickers to record all the transac?
tions on the tape until six minutes
after closing time.
Baldwin Locomotive was the storm
centre ot the day's trading, advancing
in the first hour to lOfi1?,-, a gain of 11
points over Saturday, and closing at
113?t, ?n advance for the day of IS1*
points and a new high record price. The
demand for this stock was attended by
all ?ort? of rumors, among which were
that the company is to be absorbed by
one #f the larger industrial corpora?
tion? whose war contracts have tosted
its capacity beyond limit, whilo another,
which Wall Street believes more likely
I to be true, wa? that a reorganization
, of Baldwin will take place that will in?
volve the absorption of it? munitions
manufacturing company and the giving
over to stockholders of very valuable
assets.
Other war specialties which n.-de
new high records were Crucible Steel,
Republic Iron and Steel and General
Motors. L.ickawannu Steel, wh.ch

a quarter of a point under Saturday's
