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.

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*.

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 MAGNIFICENT CATHEDRAL OF RHEIMS NOTHING BUT SHELL CHARRED RUINS Over Five Hundred German Missiles Crashed Into City Be tween Morning and Sunset Sunday. Famous Structure Had Been Turned Into Hospital. German Wounded Would Have Been Burned Alive But for Rescue at Great Risk. i espnti.lynl of the Hally Mail send* this story of the damage wrought In the cathedral there: “The magnificent i.ithe<h-al of Rhelms, which was a national monument of uni versal fame, la now no more than an empty shell of charred and hlv.-kened walls.

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. cathedral, where repairs were going on. caught fire and soon the whole net wosic of poles and planks was ablaze. Then the roof old old oak timbers caught fire and soon the ceilings were a roaring furnace. 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 actually raised their rifle* to despatch the Germans, when a little priest, the Abbe Andreiux, sprang between the Germans and the rifles.

The outburst came too soon. One part, tng shell, exploding in a contact with Findlay's horae, shattered man and beast."

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. Theatricat Notes ol Interest | j "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. Speaking ... THE...
