The three weeks' battle in the vlnclnlty of the Arsne river Is still undecided. Neither the Germans nor the allies claim any decisive victory, although the French and British troops have ad vanced beyond tho Alano and are still crowding back the kaiser's forces. On tho other hand, the Germans contend that the great battlo remains a draw. They are described in official Berlin dispatches as hammering the French positions at various points with heavy artillery and that attompts by the allies to break through tho German lines havo been repulsed These Berlin dispatches report tho heaviest losses In tho Argonne re gions. Keep Up Terrific Battle. On the Battlo Front, Paris, Oct. 4. A thrill was In tho air all along the extended allied lines today. The French and British troops, who have 'been over a fortnight In tho closest contact with the Germnns, felt they 'bad accomplished their hard task of preventing the Germans from breaking ;the human barrier erected between them and Paris, their main .objective, and that this meant eventual victory for the allies. The fury of the German onslaughts was unabated, especially on the west ern wing; but their every effort was met with vigor by the allies, who seemed to vlo with each other In us ing all their strength and courage against tho attackers. Tho scene of the most violent at tacks changes day by day. The Ger mans, finding it impossible to pene trate the allied lines in the vicinity of Reims nnd Solssons, quickly trans ported many of their divisions farther northwest and hurled them against Roye. Again they foiled, although they never ceased thler efforts to bat ter down the resistance. The allies' great turning movement continued today and their western $ wring extended toward Arms. Reports from tho other end of the line on tho frontier show the progress of the al lies to be slow but sure. Airships Great Aid. Bordeaux, Oct. 4. The concentra tion of Germans In great strength at Roye, as mentioned In the war office's statement issued this afternoon, Is ex plained here by the ease with which the commanding generals discover tho dispositions of the enemy through aeroplane scouts. An Important factor In the winning of battles Is surprises. The aviators 1n the present war have made this fac tor a negligible one. For this reason, tho battle of the Alsne is continuing for an unprece dented length of time. The public, not familiar with all the strategy, is in clined to be Impatient of fighting with out an end, but those who know de clare themselves perfectly satisfied with the progress being made by tho French armies. GERMANS REPULSE ALLIES. Berlin, Oct. 3, by wireless to Say tllle, L. I. According to announce 4KSnit ! CALIFORNIA COAST ment made In Berlin today tho great battlo in France is still undecided. The Germans are described as ham mering tho French positions at numer ous points by their heavy artillery. The attempts of the allies to break through tho German lines have been repulsed. Tho heaviest losses havo been In the Argonno region. The Germans continue to make steady progress. The fighting in France, the siege of Antwerp and the offensive operations under General von Hlndenberg in the east, all going on the the same time, are taken In Berlin to indicate that the German army is not lacking In men. Alarm In Berlin? Amsterdam, via London, Oct 8. A dispatch from the German capital says that the Berliner Tageblatt prints a significant article by its military correspondent. Major Moraht, who, while asserting confidence that there will be a fresh .German advance on Paris, to careful Vo add: "But there is another possibility which must command the conscien tious attention of calm observers of the fluctuating struggle: What would be gained by the allies if they force our right wing to the Belgian frontier? Nothing but the passing success which would be tho beginning of the end of tho Franco-British presumption of vic tory." Major Moraht then explains that the farther the allies move from Verdun and Toul, which, he says, form their laBt great strongholds, the longer Is tho distance thoy must travel back when tho stream of German armies, broad and unhindered, flows westward from Lorraine. FRESH TROOPS MEET GERMAN8. On tho Battlo Front, Oct 2. Heavy re-enforcements for tho allies, mado up I of East Indian troops and territorials, tho latter Including a Scotch regiment of sharpshooters, have been hurled at tho right wing of the German army, which is giving way foot by foot be foro tho terrific onslaught The fresh troops aro continuing the recent terrlblo hand-to-hand conflicts occasioned by the intrepid Germans, who are attempting at times Ineffec tual sorties. Fresh Troops Push On. Not only have these new re-enforcements prevented the Germans from breaking through, but they have gained ground, although at a terrific loss. No intimation has been given by offi cials regarding the number of fresh men sent against the enemy on the west Various guesses havo been made, some an high as 70,000. It was learned that further re-enforcements aro expected momentarily. Colonial troops are on their way, not a few of whom have seen service In South African and other campaigns. Struggle With Russians. London, Oct. 3. Tho groat struggle botween the armies of RusBla and Ger many, tho latter re-enforced by the remnants of the Austrian forces, has begun. Upon the outcome of tho series of battles now In progress all along tho great front from the Baltic on the north to tho Austrian stronghold of Cracow In the south the fate of Ger many hangs, according to tho opinion of many military authorities. Germany now faces tho supremo test of checking the great Russian armies which threaten Invasion. Unless the Russian armies can be decisively checked all along the line Germany will bo forced to wage a retreating campaign in defense of Berlin. For tbls decisive campaign an army of 800,000 Germans and Austrlans has boon assembled Just Inside the Russian Poland frontier from Cracow through Czenstochowa to Kallsz. Russians Win In North. The first stage of the great battle seems to bo in favor of tho Russian forces. It la ofllclully announced in Petrograd that Russian armies have won dcclslvo victories over largo Ger man forces near the frontiers of Prussia and Silesia. Tho Russian embassy In Rome fur nishes details of tho disaster which has overtaken tho Gorman offensive In Suwnlkl nnd Lodz provinces. In the battles which brought about the col- lapse of tholr Invasion of Russia tha Germans lost 30,000 killed and 20,000 prisoners. They were bo thoroughly beaten near Suwnlkl, Ostrovltz, and other towns that they fled, leaving be hind them wagon trains, batteries and baggage. Russians Aiming at Berlin. All the news Indicates that Russia Is successfully following the plans of her general staff to paralyze German Initiative along the Prussian-Poland frontier while hastening an advance In force against southeast Silesia, the key to Brcslau and Berlin. The Rus sian general staff expects to have troops In Silesia by October 5. While the success of the Russian armies has boon so marked In the north, the advanco through Hungary Is amazingly rapid.

Some of tho corps have been almost wiped out Tho German attacks In the last twenty-four hours seem to have be como lesB energetic. Tho allies havo been able to repulso them and follow up tho advantage moro easily. "Enemy Impedes Us." Amsterdam, via London, Oct. 2. Tho Berliner Tageblatt in a leading article says: "Tho German people await anxious ly but with confidonco further newB from the French war theater. The newB of tho great advance of tho French troops against the flank of our lino should not unbalance ub. Wo know that our front line Is protected by broad eschelone, which are ready to oppose such an enterprise. "Tho Influence of tho British re-enforcements makeB Itself moro and more felt. They are effective to Im pede ub, though the results will not bo lasting. "Tho center of the battle front Is silent, listening breathlessly to tho struggle on both wings. Around Ver dun a decision comes nearer. We have forced our way through the for est of Argonne, but found on the heights on the west of the Mouse a strong position which the enemy had prepared." Airships on Watch. London, Oct 3. Tho value of the services given by flying machines co operating in naval and Military move ments Is shown by the following state ment issued tonight by the official press bureau: "While the expeditionary force was being moved abroad a strong patrol to the eastward of the Straits of Dover was undertaken by both aeroplanes and airships of tho naval air service. By this means it was impossible for the enemy's ships to approach the straits without being seen for many miles." Denies Loss of Zeppelin. Berlin, Oct 3, via Tho Hague and London.
