TODAY S WAR CONDENSED
There Is no victory a* yet for either Hide tn the battle of the Alune,
which hue now raged In France for ten days. Both sides claim success
es and favoruble positions.
The ten dn.VH of desperate battle, fierce artillery fire day and night,
Infantry charges In which the flgntlng has been hand-to-hand, and caval
ry onslaughts when opportunity afforded, have ahown one reault— the sol
dirrH of the three natlona engaged are becoming exhausted. The human
mifehtnc Is weakening under the frightful demands made upon It. Full*
In the battling Hre ascribed simply to utter fatigue.
Another factor which luv< had a notable effect on the conduct of the
operations has been the weather. An Incessant cold rain has flooded the
valley of the Atsnc. The river has overflowed Its banks, roads and fields
are heavy and trenches filled with water. The men are drenched to the
skin dav and night and French soldiers coming to Paris from the front
are encrusted with mud. Worn out men are succumbing to the hard
ships of fighting and living In the open under sueh weather conditions.
Transportalon of nil kinds, for both shies, Is rendered much more dif
ficult. It Is even suld the Germans can no longer move their heavy ar
tillery with effective promptness on account of heavy roads The men
are tamping in water and the French say the Germans are suffering from
lack of food.
While neither side claims a decisive outcome, there appears to hs
good reason to believe that the battle Is drawing to some definite develou
ment.
Military opinion both In London and I'nrls leans to the conviction
that the present Hues, battered for ten dH.vs, soon will have to show notice
able change*. The fighting Is fiercest on the allies' left, where desperate
efforts are being made to turn the flunk of the German army under Gene
ral von Kluck.
von Kluck has been reinforced, but In spite of this the French In late
official reports claim an advantage though It Is admitted to be slight The
Germans appear to be making desperate and persistent efforts to turn the
right wing of the allies, resting on Verdun, The help or this forttried posi
tion is of advantage to the French.
On the center the fortunes of war fluctuate The position* now held
by the Germans were well selected and well fortified. Koine of their heavy
artillery Is described as resting upon cemci^foumlatlona
A news dispatch received In Isindon from France savs an aeroplane
reeonnolsanco has given rise to the conviction that a large portion of the
German forces Is retiring In the direction of fortified positions on the
German border.

MOST DESPERATE EFFORT
TO EXECUTE THE TURNING
MOVES ONJIH FLUNKS
Allies Using Every Ounce of Strength on von Kluck While
Germans Equally Struggling to Outflank French Left at
Verdun. Rumors Continue in London That General Re
treat of Invaders to Own Fortifications Being Considered.
London, 10:20 a. m.—While the for
tunes of battle fluctuate along the
center of the extended front in France,
desperate efforts are being made to
execute turning movements on both
flanks.
The Anglo-Franch west line Is ex
erting every ounce of strength to turn
the flank of the German General vo.i
Klock, who Is reported as having re
ceived heavy reinforcements, while the
German left, according to a cautiously
worded announcement In Berlin, Is
making equally strenuous efforts to
outflank the French right resting on
Verdun.
Must Fall First.
“Under ordinary weather conditions
the Anglo-French task would be the
easier for the reason that Verdun,
heavily fortified, must fall before the
French right can be seriously threat
ened, hut on the German right the
heavy rains have made such a morass
of the valley of the Oise that the al
lies are heardly likely to move along
what would be their natural course
until the German front north of Sois
sons has been driven back. The high
ground between Noyon and Ohauny
has been heavily fortified by General
von Kluck nnd It dominates the whole
valley of the Glse.
That the Germans chose their pres
ent defensive position deliberately Is
Indicated hy the fact that their heavy
artillery rests on cement foundations
which must have taken some time to
construct.
Rome reports received In London
declared that the reason for the der
perate German counter attacks on
Itheinis Is found In a movement of the
allies which has virtually Isolated
Rheims from I.aon, a town 30 miles
to the northwest. If this Is true 811
of General von Kluck's marvelous
strategy In protecting his sorely press
ed left flank will have proved futile.
More or less definite rumors con
tinue to circulate In London to the
effect that the Germans are preparing
a general retreat from France on their
own border fortifications. The latest

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
of these is a story related by a French
officer who has returned to Paris.
This Frenchman declares that an aero
plane reconnolssance has given rise to
the conviction that a large portion of
the German forces Is retiring, accom
panied by trains of heavy stores and
leaving only 200,000 men to cover the
retreat.
Bad For Air Scouting.
One reason for the derth of news
from the battle front Is to be found In
the bad weather, which has rendered
ordinary signaling and aeroplane
scouting unreliable. Stories now fil
tering through set forth that the Ger
mans made desperate efforts the mid
dle of last week to recapture the
ground they hod lost along the river
Alsne. Day and night the assaults
continued. The Germans, played Into
action by bands rendering military airs,
hurled masses of men on the hastily
constructed entrenchments where tho
allies had dug themselves in as a pro
tection against the pitiless artillery
concealed on the heights above them.
It was cold steel against cold steer and
ended in the allies holding their des
perately won positions.
Rheims, where the ruins of the fa
mous cathedral are still smoking, is
likely to prove an object of contro
versy long after the military forces
now in the field have ceased to contend
for Its possession. The Germans claim
that the cathedral was in the line of
fire and that It was impossible to savo
It in spite of their instructions to spare
the building.
As had been anticipated, a check
has been given to the operations of
the victorious Russians in Galicia by
the strong fortress of Przcmsyl, which
has epened fire with artillery on the
Russian Invaders.
According to adaiees received here
the advance of the Serbo-Montenegrin
forces Into Austria continues. The
Montenegrins are reported within a
few miles of Sarajeve, the capital of
Bosnia, and a combined Serbo-Monte
negrin army expects to enter that
city within a week.

Crat ied to Floor.
"The bln sing pieces of carved wood
work crashed to the floor, where piles of
straw had been gathered In connection
with the work of the field hospital. As
soon as this caught fire the panelling of
the altars, the chairs and other furni
ture was devoured.
"Tbs German wounded would have
been burned alive If the French doc
tors had not removed them at great
personal risk. There wae a bad moment
while these German Injured were being
removed. A crowd had gathered outside
watching the flames and when the Ger
mans, some In uniform, were brought
from the transept door the crowd gave
a holw of uncontrollable rage and earn
est voices screamed 'kill them.'
"Don't Fire."
"Home of the soldiers In the crowd

•One by one our guns began to blaxe

suade him to leave the danger gone.

THE EASIEST WAY
TO END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching
Scalp.
There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
In to dissolve It. This destroys It en
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply It at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
In gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of It, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair looking
rich, do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for nothing destroys the hair so quickly.
It not only starves the hair and makes
it fall out, but it makes it stringy, strag
gly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and
everybody notices it. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. It is in
expensive, and four ounces is all you wi 1
need. This simple remedy has never
been known to fail.

"Oh! OH! DELPHINE."
One of the season’s biggest events
at The Grand will take place on
Wednesday evening when Messrs.
Klaw and Krlanger will present for the
/Irst time in this city, their big musi
cal comedy success In three acts, "Oh!
Oh! Delphlne" the hook lyrics of which
are hy C. M. S. McLellan, the music
by Ivan Caryll and the source of the
story taken from the French of "Villa
Primrose" by George Berr and Mar
cel Guillemaud, exactly the same col
lahorateurs who produced "The Pink
Lady" and "The Little Case.” Though
“Oh! Oh! Delphlne” does not particu
larly resemble Its sister successes in
story or action. It Is even more humor
ous in theme and evolution. Musically
the composer has outshone himself in
composing at least a dozen numbers
that are Intoxicating In meloAy that
haunt one after the first hearing and
stick to the Ups Indefinitely. It is de
scribed as being the very last word In
musical comedy of the better class.
The “Girl" element has had the per
sonal direction of Julian Mitchell and
promises all that Is seductive In act
ion, chic and abandon. The plot, and
there Is a well-defined one, concerns
itself with a young Parisian artist who
is painting a Venus representing a
woman whse physical beauty is su
preme and absolutely without flaw.
He encounters an obstacle. He can find
no woman with a really perfect left
shoulder. He tries model after model,
untiring in hls search of a feminine
left shoulder which should he hls Ideal
of perfection. In his search he resolves
to travel and take the models with
him. He Is married, and here the
trouble and complications begin. Like
"The Pink Lady” and "The Little
Case” the fun, which is Incessant, Is
evolved hy natural methods and from
the telling of the story and the music
Is wedd.d to the play.
