AIStlE BATTLE SITUATION War Summary Another day has gone and neither one eide nor the other, Germany nor allien, lays rlalm to any decisive outcome in the bat tle of the Alsne, where the su preme conflict of the war, up to the present time, has long been raging. The engagement seem to be partaking of the nature of a aiege. Both aides continue to hold most of their strongly entrenched po sitions. The German lines for 100 miles are described as vir tually a continuation of forts and heavy entrenchments. The artil lery fire goea on day and night and under its cover are sorties of infantry. Counter attack follows attack and occasionally one aide or the other gains ground. It would appear that noth ing but a successful flanking movement could have any auceess on either army. But neither front has been broken and neither aide has been outflanked. Rhelms appears to be the cen ter of the most persistent fight ing. It Is between the lines of battle and the city has suffered heavily. The Germans are said to be most anxious to recapture tblH position. The French official announce ment at Paris yesteTday after noon says that incessant German attacks delivered yesterday, Sep tember 2t, have been unsuccess ful and that the Germans have been compelled to retire at more than one point. The French took many prisoners. The latest official communica tion from Berlin, Issued Monday night, says the Germans have cap tured the hill positions at Cra onne and occupy the village of Bethany, three miles north of Rhelms. This announcement de scribed the Germans also as at tacking the strong forts south of Verdun. .The military expert ot tha Lon don Tiroes gives positions to tha French force on the left which. If correct, show a remarkable ad vance along the flank of the Ger man right wing. The French line had not bee previously re ported north of Noyon, but the Times places it at Lecatelet, thirty miles north ot Noyon; Ros sel, nine miles southwest ot Le catelet, and Lasslgny, eight miles due west of Noyon. These loca tions have not been confirmed from any other source, the French War office having contented Itself with Baying that the French left wing was advancing along the right bank of the river Olse. Dispatches from Servian source lay claim to further vic tories over Austrian forces along the river Drina. According to these advices the Austrlans have been driven across this river to the Austrian side with havy losses. Colonel Delayed Reaching Lincoln, But He Gives Speech fFrom a Staff Orrearondent.) LINCOLN, Kept. 22.-(Bpeclal Telegram.) Colonel Roosevelt did not arrive In Lin coln this evening until almost o'clock, and tho program for his entertainment was accordingly altered. Train delay In southeastern Nebraska and the fact that It took more time to negotiate the towns through which he passed than anticipated was tha cause. The local bull moon banquet arranged In his honer htre took place without the national leader, but he reached here In time for the speech scheduled. A con sldrablo number of out-of-town rnoosors was here to greet him. A party of a doren or so enthusiastic Moosers went to Falls City on tha Mis souri Pacific's early morning train, where they met Colonel Roosevelt and escorted him to Lincoln over the.

LONDON, Sept. 22 All eyes are now fixed on the western section ot the great battle lln In France, where the allied army it expected to descend on the German right, which ia already bending backwards under persistent pressure to the northward of the river Atone. If these German positions are once carried strategists here believe the whole Grman front was In danger. - Meanwhile "a pereeptlhU prog ress" Is all the light the official chronicler permits himself to throw on the great siege of the fortified positions which now baa lasted ten days. German reinforcement, according to Berlin reports, have beaten their opponents in the race to the fighting zone and the result is seen in tha rapid series of Hussar strokes which General Von Kluck has been able to deliver in an effort to stem the allied enveloping movement around St, Quentin. Thus far the battle of the Alan repro,, duces on a larger acale the chief feature of the struggle on th Mame, but whether In the final outcome tha victory will rest with the same sld Is likely to remain a secret for a few day more. Ten Days of Mfhtln;. Ten days of the most furiously con tested struggle Known In modern hlstory hus left both armies In such a position that neither can claim definite advantage over the other and the result must de pend largely on what reinforcements the opposing commanders are abl to control.
