An Invasion by Alpine riflemen over the Vosges Into the Brelsach valley has been repulsed. Early today this official- statement was lsiued by the War Office: The derman armies in France are steadily growing stronger. The ad vance on Paris was too rapid to admit of ammunition and pro visions in sufficient quantities be ing sent to the troops. This has now been remedied by an adjust ment of the lines of communica tion. The efficacy of the new arrange ments has been demonstrated at the centre of the German front, where a steady advance Is being made. The French are showing signs of weakness. Apparently they have been unable to All their depleted ranks, whereas our forces are being steadily augmented by fresh troops In the battle between the Olse and Meuse Rivers It was explained that the German lines have been extended at certain points and now' Include the original French lines. The battle, however, Is expected to last for several days be cause of the long line and the number of men engaged. Keports that the Germans had run out of ammunition for their field gun's are denied Indignantly. Instead, the lines of communication are perfect Trains are run directly to the central points of thp battle line from which, places the distribution continues with j the automobile transport service which is complete. The French have several times nl ' tempted to carry the German position by storm, but they have met disaster from the German artillery and rapiil ' flrers The greatest German gain3 have been along the centre. BRITAIN EXPECTS AISNE BATTLE TO BE DECISIVE LOXDOX, Sept. 19. The battle of the Alsr.e, which is r.ow ir. its seventh day with two long battle fronts In virtually the same position they were, a week ago, will be decisive. Both Mdes realize this may be the crucial conflict of the war. The iollowins official statement was giver, out by the War Office this morn ing. The situation remains unchanged A counter attack by the Germans against the first division was de livered during the night and was driven back The weather is bad with rain falling continuously The allies are now losing as heavily as did the Germans in their unsuccess ful effort to penetrate the French lines at V try-!e-Franco!s and along the Marr.e. The Germans no"" have the advantage of an entrenched position. The 3ritish losses In the present tlal cold rains sweep the battlefield and fill the trenches. One report: says that the British troops are suffering severely from rheumatism as a result but the War Office says It has no con- flrmation of the 3tory The German , positions admittedly are very strong Their trenches are well dug, protected In many places by bomb proofs, and all along their front for a distance not less than half a mile, barbed wire and bramble entanglements have been con structed In this connection, as evt denclng the creat strength of the enemy's line, the Paris corresponds of the Express quotes a high Erlt3i officer as saying; "If we held the same poslfon ai ' of the soldiers in the world would be unable to dislodge us so long as - ur ammunition held out." The British aviators continue tr fighting exceed any In previous battles cover themselves with glory.

Corporal O'Brien, who is shown speaking, took part in the wonderful charge of the th Lancers, made against German artillery at Mons. As an evidence of the desperate character of the fighting. It is ad mitted that on one night alone, that of the loth, the Germans made ten dis tinct attempts to break through the allied lines. They attacked the Second British Army Corps, commanded by General Sir Horace Smlth-Dorrlen, which was holding the positions north west of Hheims and near the Craonne forest. Afttr shelling the British po sition uninterruptedly for the entire day, the German infantry was sent forward under cover of darkness.

WASHINGTON', Sept 19.-Feellng here today In ofllclal circles Is far from hope ful for an early mediation among the nations of war-torn Europe. "Watchful waiting," President win son's policy In Mexico, has become his policy toward European peace. This became known officially today. From a. source In closest touch with Wilson, It was learned his ambition now is for a permanent peace, not alono in Europs, but throughout the world. He does not want a truce that would merely halt the fighting for a month or two, only to have it break out again more violently His position was analyzed ln the terse comment that he will not now put out to the country each morn ing peace "when it Is not ln the card9 That thlB Government has had Indefi nite assurances that a truce might pos sibly be affected at this time, it was in terpreted from a statement that It mighi be possible now to have "a truce, but r.ol pence."

I thank you for the liberality with which you have met a great emergency Mv Lords and Gentlemen, we are fighting for a worthy purpose and we shall not lay down our arms until that purpose has been fully achieved. England's non-receptive attitude Is con firmed by a cable which Ambassador Sir Cecil Pprlng-Rlce received from Sir Ed ward Grey, the British Minister ot Tore lKn Affairs, saying that Great Britain had received no proposal for peace directly or Indirectly, trom either Germany or who was wounded near Lemberg.
