Two sons of General de Castelnau, hern of the lighting about Nancy, have' been killed In battle, and he notified his wife today that a third had been wounded Mine, de Castelnau took the news calmly. "I had four sons in the field." she said. "I shall not 6&e them again. My husband alone will return. He has no right to allow himself to be killed." Bayonet charges by tho Germans In another determined effort to pierce the Allies' centre at Craonne have been repulRed. The Invading Teutons 'hnd renewed the assault along the entire 120-mlloe front ot the Alsno battle line. The French nnd British continue their attempt to outflnnk General von lfluk's forces on the ex treme German right wing. t Belgium forces, harassing tho German light flank, have interfered so with operations against the Allies that heavy artillery bns been rushed to ward Antwerp to crush the nrmy.lcd by King Albert. The Germans are fortifying their line of retreat through Belgium. Two million men are engaged In the third Important Gallclan buttle of the war. The Russians, reinforced by fresh troops and encouraged by the evacuation of Jaroslaw, the In vestment of Przeinysl on three sides, the capture of Dublccko and other smaller fortified position, nro engag ing General Dankl's army and havo continued successful In various en gagements with his rearguard. In dications point to Russian numeri cal superiority on the field, as the Southern Poland and Gallclan armies are co-operating as a unit, and the Austrlans have again been placed on the defensive In order to protect the line of communication to Cracow. In Kast Prussia three German army corps (120,000 men), under General Hlndenburg, havo started an ag gressive movement against Russian Poland. Grodno, on the main line between Warsaw and Petrograd, Is ' the Immediate objective. The de feated Russian armies of Grodno and Vllna have Joined to resist tho ad vance. Montenegrin troops seized the town of Rogbltza, 30 miles from Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, nnd continued I their march to within ten miles of ' the stronghold. The capture of Sarajevo is confidently expected. Berlin War Office reports successful nttacks at several points along the line and announces arrival of heavy reinforcements. The French havo been repulsed with heavy losses wherever they assumed tho offen sive, it was added. Further proof of superiority of German artillery is said to have been given In tho engagement along the Aisne. London War Office reports the arrival of 100,000 men to save the wavering army of von Kluk, with the Allies continuing their flanking movement. It Is admitted that tho casualties of the allied forces are heavy, largely because of the difficulty In locating masked German batteries. Vienna admits the evacuation of Jar oslaw, which was burned before the army left. The Russians have won several engagements with the rear guard of General Dankl's reinforced army, which has again been put on tne defensive. The evacuation of Jaroslaw is ascribed to stateglc rea sons, Involving aid to Przemysl and protection of the line of communica tion to Cracow, Reverses to Dankl's army have caused gloom In Vienna, where hope ran high t.,at Its Junc tion with that ot Von Auffcnbcrg would result In stopping the Russian advance in Gallcla. Petrograd War Office reports continued success In the Galicla.i campaign, Giodek, Sambor and Dublecko al ready are taken, the capture of the last named clearing the way to an advance westward. Przeinysl. cap ture of which Is prerequisite to mov ing nest on Cracow and carrying the aggressive into Silesia against Bres lau and Posen, has been Invested. Some of the Russian troops nro pro ceeding westward. Investment of Przemysl and evacuation of Jaroslaw have left the Russians free to move nearer Cracow, where the fiercest Austrian resistance is expected. British Admiralty reports both suc cesses and reverses. The Carmanla DASH OF BAYONET CHARGE FOILED AS ALLIES CHECK FOE Craonne, Near Centre of Long Battle Line, Is Point of Most Desperate Assault; London Reports Von Kluk's Retreat On German Right. French Occupy Heights of Lassigny, West of Noyon, and Capture Three Towns Near Centre of Battle Line in Campaigne. PARIS, Sept. 21. German forces, In a series of desper ate assaults In the region ot Craonne, today resorted to the bayonet, but were repulsed by the Allies with consider able loss, The Invaders' assaults were espe cially violent east ot the Olse and north , of the Atsne. , At 3 o'clock this afternoon the War I Office Issued this official statement: j On our left wing, on the right bank, of the Olse, we have advanced to the heights of Lasslgny (west ot Noyon). East of the Oisc and to the north of the Alsne the Germans have shown an lncreabe in activity. Violent attacks turning Into bay onet charges have been delivered In the region of Craonne. The enemy has been repulsed at all points with considerable losses. Around Rhcinis the enemy has made no Infantry attack, but has confined his efforts to bombarding our front with his heavy pieces. At the centre in Champagne and on the west side of the Argonne, beyond Souain, we have taken Mesnll. Lcs Hurlus and Mashlgcs. In the Wocvre region the enemy holds the region of Thiancourt and has bombarded Hnrron-Chateul. On the right wing (Lorraine and the VobRcs) there is no change. The Germans are fortifying them selves on Delmlot Hill, south of Chalcau-Sallns. The British troops had taken up posi tions !n the Craonne region, and it Is sup posed that the forces of Sir John French are bearing the brunt of the attacks made by the German infantry. Sixteen words constituted an addi tional official statement Issued at Bor deaux this afternoon. It follows: "We are confident that the Allies hold a favorable position in the great battle now progressing." Today's announcement is the first since the battle of the Alsno began stating that either side had resorted to tho bayonet. This indicates that 'on this, tho ninth day of the battle, the artillery duol which has been raging for many days, resulted In a drawn battle and that the other forces have now been brought Into action. The Allies havo thrown forward heavy bodies ot men to engage the attacking forces. Activity of the French and British around Solssonfe shows that the Allien are continuing their Hanking move ment ngainst the troops of General on Kluk, who appears In Imminent danger of being surrounded. Heavy reinforcements have been rushed to von Kluk's aid. knocking down the walls of tho prin cipal buildings of tho town and many noncombatants have been killed. Tha Hotel de Ville, tho museum, the sub prefecture and nil neighboring build ings have been destroyed almost com pletely, it was nnnounced today. Only n. few walls of the famous ca thedral, erected In tho Middle Ages, re main standing. Both Solssons and Rhelms arc re ported to be In flames. Solssons has been under Are since fighting in tho present battle began. Rheims has been bombarded for S4 hours. Farther to the east, near the Ar gonne district, In the Meuse Valley and the Vosgcs, fighting is less sovere, but is still going on. The destruction along the valley of the Alsne is appalling. Wounded sol diers, returned officers and prisoners from the front describe the loss of llfo as colossal. The stretch ot lowland between the hills flanking the Alsne is described as a valley of death and desolation. Day and night the bombardment goes on until one wonders in amaze ment how the Germans arc abloirv bring from their distant base of sup plies sufficient ammunition necessary to keep their batteries In action all the time. It Is confidently believed by the French military authorities in Paris that the German positions can bo so thoroughly weakened by tho cannonade that the French and British will be able to sweep the Germans from their entrenchments at the point ot tho bayonet, despite the reinforcements. Already, it is snid, the French havo been able to silence several of the Ger man batteries at that point, compelling them to take up new positions. Tho effect of the German artillery fire upon the French and British troops has been terrible, It is admitted. Soma of the heaviest German guns have been shelling the nllled positions from a dis tance ot seven miles. All are cleverly masked. It is admitted thnt one of tho largest guns, which has done great damage, is so successfully concealed that the Allies have been unable to locate It. So far the fighting has been a fierce artillery duel, partaking of the quali ties of a siege. Now, howeer, with both sides beginning to use more and more infantry, tho fighting should bo near its end. The present week should see the tide of victory and defeat flow ing in clearly marked channels. Whether it will result in the Germans taking the offensive movement in an effort to pierce the French and British lines, or whether the Allies will bo abla to roll back tho German legions to the) The French hae been able to move their heaviest artillery to the firing ' frontler- remains to bo been line east of the Olse. near Its junction with the Alsne, and a continuous nisht and day bombardment against the Gorman positions !s In progress. Ac cording to tho official announcement, tho hardest fighting is In progress near Solssons, on the extreme western end ' No matter hnw thn nraeont i,n.i goes, all of northeastern France, from Paris to the Belgian und German fron tiers, will have been ravaged, devas tated and scourged.
