“The official bulletins show that the
Germans have moved to\vard the Nie- man more than 25 miles in two days but according to the latest news, their advance has been checked and judg- ing from the speed of their move- ments and the relatively narrow front of their deployment, which does not exceed fifteen miles, General Renne- kampf has not to deal with a move- ment of first rate importance.
"The tendency here is to regard
this advance as a demonstration to cover a more important action else- \vbere, most probably in a direction
more vulnerable, namely, the line from |I{alisse to Cracow."

TREATMENT OF GERMAN '
PRISONERS.
LONDON, Sept. 28.-For the first
time since the beginning of the war a wireless now circulated by French Government through the Eiffel Tower \vas received in London to-night.
The message was dated Sept. 28
and was as followsz- “Feeling that their position was becoming more and more critical under pressure of' the Allies, the Germans have tried to stop us by repeated counter-attacks. Since Sept. 26 they have delivered by day and night frequent violent attacks at general positions on our front. Every-‘ where they have been repulsed, sus- taining considerable losses and aban- doning as they lay, thousands of dead and wouiided_ Eight army corps and guards were severely put to the test and large numbers oi' prisoners fell
into our hands.
“lt is fo be remembered that many
of the latter gave theniselves up vol- untarily although they could have cs- vapcil. It seems that German soldiers are beginning to have no further doubt as to advent which awaits them in i~apt.ivif.y. At the beginning all those i we captured had a terrified ami suppli- catiiig attitude arising out of state- inients made by their officers to the el- fect that the Freiicli shot their prison- crs. It is rather by an excess of kin`d- ness that we train-igrcss in regard to tlicm, and the too kindly treatment nieted out to prisoners in certain dis- tricts of France has even evoked coni- plaints which occasionally have been justificd on the part of all those who know how our men are treated in Ger-
many."
CANADIAN WOMEN SENT $285,960.
LONDON, Sept. 28.»Tlie Admiralty
authorities express much gratification at the receipt of a cable message, through tho Secretary for the Colonies. from His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaugiit, intiniating that a draft for $285,960 is being mailed from the , women of Canada. Of this $100,000 will be handed to the War Office. while the balance will be devoted to the establishment and equipment of a_ naval hospital near Portsmouth. The ‘ Admiralty hail not anticipated thatl the promise of aid hy the Canadian women would be so generously carried out. The War Office have no definite plan of' allocation for the money, but will try to devote it to a scheme with which the name of the Caxiailian women will be associated. I The military hospital established by
tho Canadian \Var Contingent Asocia- tion is likely to bo opened the latter part of this week.

SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION
There is really little that is new in
the war situation, except that the Allies appear to be making gains along the Alsne Valley. The gains, although slight as to territory, are a great factor in the conduct of the war, as thc more fact of holding the Germans in check would alone be an infinite gain to tho Allies. Time, as has been frequently remarked, is fighting for the Allies aiul against the Germans.
The desperate engagement along the Aisne, wlilch ha now been in progress for two weeks without cessation. has seen many fierce encounters, and in every instance the violent attacks of the Germans have been repulsed.
The Kaiser is said to be ill with
inflammation of the lungs, resulting from an involuntary bath in a trench filled with water, one of the trenches in which his soldiers are obliged to pass most ni' their time.
coininnnder at Muelliauson committed suicide because he was unable to pass the Vosgcs.
Servlnn troops are advancing in Bos-
nia, and have occupied a good position in Ilouniania.
The Austrians have made several
ineffectual attempts to cross the Dan- ube and the Save Rivers, in which they sacriii_qe;l___§eye_ija_l liunilreil lives.
The Russians have crossed the Car-
pathlans, capturing some territory in I-iiuigary and takinf-I I1 ll\ll'llbel` of prisoners, guns and ammunition.
The situation on the whole is offici-
ally declared to be distnctly advantag- eous to the Allies, and a decisive move- ment is almost hourly looked for in the Aisne region, which it is hoped will start the Germans on the home- ward run.
Russians and Germans are eiilsllgell
in a fierce fight in East Prussia.
ln a battle lasting three days the
Prussian Guards were cut to pieces, some of the conipaliles having been almost anuihilatod. All the original officers of' the Guards have been killed or wounded.

BIG BATTLE SOON IN EAST PRUSSIA.
LONDON, Sept. 28.-“ Germany is
reinforcing her army in East Prussia at the rate of one army corps per day," says a despatch from Pctrograd to Lloyd’s News Agency. “These re- inforcements arc being carried by 250 trains on all four available railways. Other troops are being hurried froui Berlin and Sclineldemuhl to Baltic ports and thence by sea to East Prussia.
“ All this is in preparation for the
great and decisive battle soon to be fought along the whole western line.
" At least 800,000 German troops are
now gathered in an effort to balance the Austrian failures. The armies are already in touch and the big battle is bound to come soon. The Russians will have the advantage, however, bc- cause the fighting will be on ground chosen by the Russian leaders."

LONDON. Sept. 28.- Along almost
two thirds of the Great Battle Line n- cross the Northeast of France the Al- lies ami Germans fought fiercely to- day, at some points with the Bay- onet.Last niglit,statements from both sides show the optimism which chara- cterized official announcements. it is agreed that the alllos had continued their advance. General French claim- ed "marked progress.” The German announcement in Berlin though insis- ting that tho advance was repulsed nevertheless referred to it as an pd- vance.
Elsewhere along the battle front
neither side seemed to have achieved any notable success.
Th continued forward movement of
the Russian troops in Galacia, the ap- pearance of German air craft dropp- ing bombs over various places in Bel- gium and again in Paris and Warsaw. the movement of vast German troops into Russia by way of East Prussia are chiefly s significant summary of events in both Theatres of War. Of the German bombs thrown none seems to have done extensive damage. One msn is reported to have been killedin Belgium and one in Paris.
There is an unconfirmed report that
an sttsclr on Antwerp is impending. Neither army has achieved anything like a notable success. The Allies are reported to have mode prolfess in one direction. The Allies st one point

ate advance by a crack Prussian Guard. The Germans insist today that with ii. weaker force their right checked advance ofa mixed French and British force.
Recurring, references to bayonet
charges seem to prove conclusi- vely that this picturesque and roman- tic phase of warfare which was thou- ght to have been killed by the ad- vance of great guns and other equip- ment of modern armies is not all a thing of the past. A French official communication says some points oi tho trenches are only a few hundred meters apart. Thus a small portion of the million have the stimulant and thrill of hand to hand lighting.
Despatches from Petrograd report
that fierce fighting still goes on in Galscia,thongh Crscow,towards which the Russians hosts are marching ever since Prsemysl was invested and communications cut has not yet been attacked. To the North the German invasion is assuming vaster propor- tions notwithstanding ths Russian War Office insists that the Germans are being repulsed st the frontier. It is stimated hero that the German front extends from the Baltic coast to the Baltic Coast Boundary of Silesls, a distance of about '400 miles. What op-
position the Germans have mst is be- lieved to have been little more than s Cavalry screen.
