She brings with her also a letter from Queen Elizabeth, in which the queen approves, of her mission. "Madame Vandervelde Implores tho American people to help Belgium to re patriate all these poor people to start them j again In life in new homes.

Knthuslasm unusual In the staid leg islative chambers of Westminster palace was displayed today when the two houses of Parliament were prorogued. While King George was absent Inspect ing the troops, his speech was read in the House of Lords by Viscount llaldane, the lord high chancellor, and In the House of Commons by John H. Whitley, the deputy speaker. When the announcement was made In tho House of Lords that the royal as sent had been given to the Irish rule and the Welsh disestablishment suspen sory bills and to a number of emergency measures, rheers were given for the passing of the Irish and the Welsh bills. On the announcement of the passing of the Irish home rule bill In tho House of Commons nationalists and liberals broke Into loud cheers, which were repeated again and aain.

ARMIES GRAPPLE ALONG A BATTLE FRONTOF MILES (Continued from Page One ) company state that the battle con tinues with great fierceness along; the whole front. The death is announced of General Batallle, who was killed in action. LONDON. Sept. IS As has been the case heretofore when the struggle sdong the xast battle line in Frame nan been most acute, the public In Germany, as well as in France and Kngland, has been forced to content Itself with the most meager news of the progress of military opera tions. Experience has shown that ex tended statements are Issued only after the retirement or the temporary defeat of one army or the other. The Infor mation thla morning sets forth laconically that the battle Is raging with great fierce ness along the whole front, which ex tends, roughly speaking, from the River f'lse. near Noyon. to the German fortress of Meti; but. barring a slight retirement of the German right wing at certain points, no decided advantage Is credited to either side. Presumably the efforts of the allies have been divided Into three supreme strug gles; first, to dislodge ehe Germans from the heights of the Aisne; second, to break through the fourth and fifth Oerman armies at the center; thtrd. to outflank the German right under General von Kluck. The position of the fourth and fifth German armies is considered not strong as the remainder of the line, wlilta if the flanUin' movement is syc essfoi. i!e raili i.td lines un wirt ii tiie Gci-Pictis l ' lid. would be cut W hile tbe licit move ,.- i, nt r aino Is - ;" : 5 , COXA '., , .v - .

The Pfalz, hlch was the only Germnn vessel at Melbourne, attempted to escape shortly lefore daylight on the morning of August ., but was "topped by a shot from the Queens t'llff 'ort. A guard of marines was put aboard and the veseel brought back to port. The flag of the German trading steamer German's, from Hong Kong, was torn off the vessel by dock laborers and cut to rieees. a matter of speculation, the press of Ixm don dwells tKlay on the possibility that tho Germans are striving only to hold the strong positions they now have as sumed, with the view of keeping the alMea at bay and thus affording Kmperor Wil liam an opportunity to rush troops to his eastern frontier. On the other hand, it would be no sur prise If the Germans, tmw reinforced, should attempt another aggressive move, ment similar to the one which the allies Inaugurated so successfully after the in vaders had exhausted themselves In tho avalanche-like rush toward Paris. The German losses are estimated here at 3.2i0 dally for the last fortnight. This totals more thsn 44,000 since September 4. As the loxses of the allies are known to have been tremendous and adding the ter rible losses suffered by the Austrlans In Oalicia, some idea may he gained of the extraordinary sacrifices of men during these flrrt few weeks of the modern world's greatest war. No confirmation haa been received here of the reported Servian evacuation of Semlln, nor have the brief dispatches bringing this rumor told whether tho Servian retirement was due to strategic efforts or to the onslaughts of the Aus trlans. aided by the gunboats, which are reported to have bombarded both Semlin and Belgrade. All Servian advices Insist that the Serbs are continuing their vigor ous forward movement. British Resent Peace Talk. Preliminary talk of peace eeems to be resented by the Rrittsh public. While the pact recently signed by the allies Insures concerted action, when It comes. In the direction of peace on their part, the dis patches from Washington relative to the attitude on peace of Dr. von Borthmann Hollweg, the German chancellor, as con veyed through the American ambassador at Berlin, together with dispntches from Home saying that Auetrla-Hungary de sires peace, have aroused considerable discussion here and editorial articles al ready have appeured saying that peace on any terms is out of the question until what Is styled "the menace of German militarism" l crushed. "The earlier Impatience of the British public for news from the front seems now to be more or less reconciled to the enforced necessity of awaiting the of ficial bulletins fclven out by the press bureau. Dispatches from Berlin say that the German public has been without actual news of the situation In the west ern area of the war for two weeks. No Change In Kast. "There was nothing today to Indirate a change In the situation in the eastern sone. Presumably the armies of Austria are still trying to unite at Cracow, while the Russian army under General Iton nenkampff is holding the Germans at biy along the frontier of Poland." While public opinion and the press In Italy am) Uoumania are apparently still In the dark as to the course these nations will pursue as the struggle continues, 1 semi-official assurance came from Den mark today from tho newspaper Politikn that that country would remain firm In its neutrality. The paper says; "Nothing ran Induce uh to change the IHilioy of neutrality which Denmark haj declared she will follow." Germans 1 leld ftllubtl. PARIS. Sept. 18.
