SUPPORT FOR CONFEDERATES Frfnrh anil British Arr Rrlnalna; In Troops Tkromh Hunrn and tmlriK to Thrralfn Flank of Cnrm), LONDON, Sept. 18. Another great battle, even more vital for the countries concerned than those which have preceded it, is now in progress on a line extending from the region of Noyon on the river Olse, north west of Paris, to the river Metis?, north of Verdun. The front is some hat shorter than was the case in the battle of the Marne, but this will result only in a more fiercely contested battle, with masses of troops throwing themxelves at each other, and every available piece of artillery concen trated In the determined effort of the armies to treak through the lines. About 3,000,000 men are en gaped. Position of (.rrnians. The Germans, who, a fortnight ago, had made their first swift en deavor to destroy the armies of France and Great Hrltatn and cap ture Paris, have now fortified them selves on the mountains north of the River Aisne, through the plains of Champagne and in the Argonne mountains, through which the Meuse flows. They are in stronger positions than they were for the battle of the Marne and have been strongly rein forced with fresh troops from the north and east. They have at tempted some counter attacks against the allied troops, which flushed wit.t victory, have been trying to prevent them from entrenching themselves. Both (Intra Advantage. According to Engllfln and French official reports these attacks have been repulsed and the Germans com pelled to give way at certain points but the German general staff claims just the opposite result. . It Is certain, however, that the t Illy country north of the Alsne offers good ground (or such tactics. It would appear that these western wings of the two armies, the German right and the allies' left, are aain to bear a heavy par: In the flRhtlng. Upon the armies of General Von Kluck and General Von Buelow de pend the safety of the rest of the Get man army, should retreat be decided upn or forced upon them. Besides holding the front they have to be prepared to withstand another attempt on the. part of the allies to outflank ( them. ' Railways Rehlnd Them. These German forces hold a nositlon from a point near Noyon on the Olse along the district north of the Alsne to the Junction of the latter river with the Sulppes. Behind them are splendid lines of railways running in all directions which facilitate the movement of troops from St. Quentln Guise and Mesleres. In this respect, therefore, they are well placed. The allies, on the other hand, can, and it is believed they are, bringing In new troops through Rouen and Amiens to threaten the German flank. In fact, marly the whole of northwest France is now open to the allies, the Germans hav ing withdrawn most of their scattered troops eastward toward the Oise. Tide llaa Tamed.

The JJrltiKh army that has fought so long and so hard Is looking forward to support from the Indian troops, which shuuld soon bp at the side of the Engllsh- in, u noi ior me present battle, then for the one which mu.t soon follow tt. The French troops, who also occupy a valuable center of operations at Solssons the engineers having closely followed the army and repaired the railways are Mnti nlnforccd and on the whole both ns to position and strength of fore -s, the opposing armii's appear eve.ily matched for the advantage of the alii a in having an army to threaten Von Kluck's flank. The situation along the rect of the line Is much tho same In the center, be tween Rheims and the Arconne, the Ger mans continue to fortify themselves, while between Argonne and the Meuse they are entrenching themselves at Mnntfaticon. The French officials warn the publlr that as the Germans occupy positions prepared for defense and are supported by heavy artillery, any progress ' must l e slow. The Germans are preparing for even" eventuality and are maintaining a force superior to that of the Helglan army in BeUium to cover the retirement of the main army should that become neces sary. They are reported to he strength ening the fortifications on the Rhine. where, If necessary, they could continue a long deft naive. Skirmishes lonliaur, In Belgium there lias been a continua tion of skirmishes which have been a (future of the war since the Germans advanced into France, with advances and withdrawals as dally occurrences. For ex ample, the Germans yesterday reoccu rled Termonde, only to leave it this in ii nine. Besides the eastern portion of the coun try, the Germans hold the line almost to Tournal, In the department of Ilaln suit, thus preventing the Belgians from going too far in their harrylnt; tactics on the German troops proi ceding to France. Thus far. however, the Belgian army haa fulfilled Its allotod part by keeping at least one division- from going to the assistance of the army on the A is ne. In Italy the agitation for the participa tion of the country In the war seems to be on the increase.

After reviewing briefly what they claim are the causes which led to the war, they said : When Belgium In her dire need ap pealed to Great Britain to carry out her pledge this country's course was clear. She bad either In break the faith by let ting the sanctity e-f the treaties and of treaty rights of small nations count for nothing before a tho at of naked force, or she had to fight. She did not hesitate, and we trust she will not lny down arms Until Belgium's Integrity Is restored and her wrongs redressed."
