THE WINGHAM ADVANCE
STEADY ADVANCE
OF ALLIED FORCES
Physical Erhaustion of Troops Causes
Lull In Tremendous Struggle-'
British Slowly Gaining
A despatch from the battle-
front on Monday night said:
The western wing of the Ger-
man Zine has been swept back
about seven miles during the past
forty-eight hours as a sequel to
• continuous fighting night and day.
. Both armies, despite almost
te superhuman fatigue, show the ut-
most determination not to yield
an inch of ground without a ter-
rible struggle, but the fresher
troops at the disposal of the allied•
commanders has gradually fprced
f, the Germans to recede.
The unparalleled struggle which
commenced a week ago Saturday
along the River, Aisne has developed
into siege operations. The two armies
strongly entrenched, are carrying on
an 'artillery duel, while the ihfantry
make attacks and counter-attacks
which are in the nature of sorties
from a besieged fortress.
Occasionally one or the other gains
a little ground, but it is so little that
the opposing forces remain in their
trenches or take up positions in new
entrenchments immediately behind
those from which they are driven.
It is now becoming the conviction
of military men that nothing but out-
flanking .movements can have any
serious effect on either army. The
Germans have, aceording to their
own official report, been strongly re-
inforced both on their right and in
the centre, where the Germans are
Making almost superhunian efforts to
recapture Rheims.
A despatch from the battle front
late Sunday night said:
The bulk of the allied armies re-
mained Sunday in the trenches, wait
ing while their artillery exchanged a
furious cannonade with the strongly.
placed German batteries.
O•verpoweri•ng fatigue and priva•
tions, resulting from five days of un'
relenting struggle, brought about Fri-
day night a temporary lull in the com•
bat of the powerful armies that are
face to face along the Rivers Oise.
Aidne and Wceuvre.
The roar of cannon, machine guns
and rifles. died down early Friday
evening, and the presence of two
armies, composed -probably altogether
of 1,000,000 or more men, within
touch on an 'uneven line and ready to
Spring to a fatal grip, scarcely could
be conceived, so intense was the still-
ness, broken only by an 'occasional
vagrant report.
Water -filled Trenches
The• soldiers of the allies and the
Germans alike were snatching a little
rest huddled ,,up • in the strong en.
trenehments. • In: some ' places the
trenches were half filled with. water,
as equinoctial storms continue.
The French and British, like the
Germans, have now entrenched and
settled down for the stern fight, which
threatens to be -even longer and
more sanguinary than the Battle of
the Marne. Progress is being made
at some points by the allies, but very
slowly, and the developments of the
past twenty-four hours are not. Im-
portant, except that it is officially
eonflrmed that the Germans have re-
ceived reinforcements from Lorraine.
There were a few isolated encdun-
tern on Saturday, but both sides ap-
pear to have abandoned the rash
movements across the open which
marked the early stages of. the war.
Obviously, the deadly machine guns
hai'e taught a lesson.
Some brilliant feats at arms were
perfomed at various points in the lines
extending along the Oise, the Aisne
and ,Wceuyre.
British Troops Prayed
One of the incidents of Saturday,
when the fierce fighting was awful in
,its sacrifices, was widely recounted
to -day. A British infantry regiment
!upon receiving an order to advance
end take a German 'position, knelt
for a moment in prayer. Then the
;nen, knowing that their charge was
to be terrible in cost, sprang to their
feet, and, with fixed bayonets, clam-
bered net of the shelter of the trench.
,In short and rapid rushes they ad-
,vagced in wide-open order, alternate.
ly lying down and then 'making an-
other dash of 15 yards. From the
Gernian position came the thick hail
of 'the machine guns. The attacking
:soldiers • hurrahed and sang as they
pressed forward. Many fell with
Cries of determination on their lips.
Finally those who remained ef; the
,regiment reached and took the " Ger-
man position after a desperate hand
to -hand encounter.
The British Advance
A despatch from 'Paris on Sunday
night said:
"The steady advance by the British
and French on the left is highly im-
portant, 1Ys the, German General Von
liluk's bank is now exposed."
French octal reports state_ that
thqusands_of prisoners were taken by
the allies in • the .centre between
Rheims arid the forest of the Argonne.
The fallowing announcement was
made by the British Official inform-
ation Bfirean on Sunday;
"There is no change in the situation
(in France). The ,weather is, bad.
Counter-attacks :delivered yesterday
afternoon and during the night were
easily repulsed with loss to the
enemy."
GERMANS DESTROY CATHEDRAL
The Westminster Abbey of the French
Nation Wantonly Rulned
The French Minister of the Interior
announced Sunday that the Cathedral
at Rheims had been destroyed, and
that all the other historic and public
buildings of that city had been de-
stroyed or seriously damaged. The
Government, he said, had decided to
address a note of protest to all the
powers.
Official advices stated that the city
of Rheims was in flathes following
the bombardment by tine German ar
tiliery, and that there appeared to be
little hope of saving the city from
destruction.
The Cathedral of Rheims was one
of the greatest monuments of the
middle ages. Upon the site on which
it stood Clovis, Xing of the Franks,
Watt baptized a Christian. In the
great oathedral built between 1211
end 1231 the Ki s of Franco were
crowned for al six centuries.

—Quiet in North Sea
There has not been a gun fired in
the North Sea for days, so Bar as the
British public knows, but the Ad-
miralty issued Sunday nilit bulletins
of important encounters in far-off

were both chronicled -impartially.
'The Admiralty report says that
since the outbreak of the war the
British light cruiser Pegasus, under
command cf John A. Inglis, had ben
working from Zanzibar, and had ren-
dered very useful services, including
the destruction of Dar-es-Salaam, a
seaport in Gc-xman East Africa, the
sinkfng of the German gunboat Motve,
and a floating drydock.
"Early this morning," continues the
statement, "she was attacked by the
Koenigsberg, while anchored in Zan-
zibar harbor cleaning boilers and re-
pairing machinery. The Pegasus,
thus taken at a disadvantage, was
completely disabled after suffering a
loss of twenty-five killed and forty
wounded.
• The Admiralty report continues:
"The British auxiliary cruiser Car
mania, Captain Noel Grant, • Royal
Navy, went into action off the' east
coast of South America with a Ger-
man armed merchant cruiser sup-
posed to be the Cap Trafalgar •or
• Berlin, mounting eight 4 -inch guns
and pompoms. The action lasted ons
hour and forty-five minutes, when the
German ship capsized and sank, her
survivors being rescued- by an empty
collier. The Carmania is a converted
Cunard liner. •
