Sept a.-' On our left wing, along th. river Bomm " tha French, of ficial statement Issued thla afternoon says, "the Germans attempted numerous attacks, -which th. allies Tepulaed." The text of th. statement follows: "first, on our left wing, to the north f th. Bomme end between Bomme and th. Otae, th. enemy, both day and night, .silvered several attacks, which have, however, been repulsed. To the north of th Ainu there has been no change. "Second, on tb. center. In Campelgne, aad to the east of th. A r tonne, the enemy has restricted his activities to heavy cannonading. Between the Ar gonne and th. Meus there has been slight progress on th. part of our troops, wh. ar. confronted by strongly organ ised positions. "On the heights of the Meuae, In the Woevre dlatrtct, and on our right wing, la Lorraln and th. Voagea, there haa been no ' notable modification In the situation. Lacatloa of French Llae. ' "Generally speaking, our Una runs from the esat to ths west, through the region of Pont-a-Mouason Apreinont and the Meuae, through the region of Balnl VI hiel. along the height, to the north of Bpada and through a portion ot the heights of the Meus. to the southeast of Verdun. Between Verdun and Kbelms, the genera) front Is Indicated by a line passing through the region of Verennaa. to the north of Bouala aad ths Roman corps.' , The comparative calm yeaterday after Sunday's storm of shot and shell waa a surprise. It was supposed that th. ex treme violence of th. Oerman attack meant a determination to finish th. cam palm on the Alans by breaking th allies' lines at all coats and ths pressure. It was expected would continue, especially on the allies' left, where th. Germans had brought up reinforcements, Ths center, however, wag the; only point seriously sttacked, probably on the sup position that the line here had been weakened to relnforc the left. One the ory is that the armistice of four houra granted by the French for burying the dead was not sufficient and that th In vaders needed the entire day to get rid of the bodlrs encumbering ths trenches, anJ another Is that further shifting of troops la In progress, preparatory to a violent shock elsewhere, all efforts against th left having failed. In any cas ths opinion Is prevalent her. that th Germans are losing valuable time and that a return of th. bad weather will perhaps find them still burrowed in the chalky clay of th. Alsna dlatrtct, and that they will again be forced to uncover themaelves by Invading floods. The military operations In th. extreme east of tha Voagea and In Alsace have been hindered by bad weather, as there Is enow on ths heights and floods in ths valleys. Ths Rhlns la much swollen, wall ths Doller, 111 and Thur livers have overflowed. The plain between the Muel. bauaen and the mountains is undsr water to a great extent and it la Impoaalbl. to move heavy artillery, which gives an ad vantage to ths allies, who have compara tively light guns. Hoth sides, however, are handicapped, and if the bad weather continues It will hae the reault of prolonging the cam paign on this side of ths Voagea and the Ardennea region. , The French people are buey preparing winter underclothing for their soldiers In the field. BRITON WOUNDED IN DUEL IN AIR (Continued from Page Cm.) BERLIN. Bept. .HBv Wireless I via Bayvllle, l I.) Th. following story Visa been given out here: During a sortie from Antwerp Belgian troop occupied the village of Linden, near Louvaln, and took poaaeealon also of a chateau belonging to the Dutch fam ily of Van Blankenhajren. the members of which hsd at their own expenee trans formed their residence Into a hospital. Forty wounded Belgian were being con stantly nursed at the chateau, over which flew th Red Croaa and the Dutch flaga, by members of the Van Blankenhagen family. In spit of these facta the Bel gians set fir to th village of Linden snd burned down the chateau. This act was th result of their hatred of tfi Dutch, whom they wrongly accuaed of having permitted German troops to cross southern Luxembourg. v. Other stories mad public. In Berlin re- lat that the French bombardment of Cattaro In Dalmatla has been absolutely without success. On large French cruiser Is described as having been sunk. while two are said to have been seri ously damaged. Ruaalana ar described, as having stolen the famous private library ot works on art from the raatle of Prince Oaslllnsky In Lemberg. It Is said they carried their booty to Petrograd. At a largely attended meeting In Ber lin of men prominent In Industry, com merce ana agriculture a resolution was adapted setting forth that th. recent German war loan had been highly suc cessful, and those present recorded their readiness to make any further sacrifices needed. They demanded also that th war be continued until such time as Qr man successes were commensurate with the glgantto sacrifices entailed, securing a lasting; peace for th future. uel de TJsa. tho flmt white man to re side on Nrhrasha aoll. lie waa her from 1W7 to hla death In 130 and waa fur tra'lcr with a station at Fort Lia. on the Missouri river, ten miles north of Omaha.

Such factors ar not exerting any Influence on the present battle. Nevertheleaa. a similar situation has been produced, owing firstly to ths immense power of resistance possessed by an army which la amply equipped with heavy artillery and haa aufflcleni time to fortify Itself, and secondly to the vast slae of the forces engaged, which at the present time stretch more than half way roadway which runs lot.
