Still Prest German Right (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LbNlirtN. Sept. 22, ,10:45 p.m.— There have beon no Important changes on tho . battle fronts in northern Prance. Tho opposing armies continue to gain a little here and loBe a little there. Theso gains might tell In tho long run but have,not brought - any decisive result for either side. The French' official report. Issued this evening, again lays somo stress on ,the announcement that an advance IA bfelrig -made iby tbe allies' left wing on t'he right bank of the river disc, from which point 'both the public und the military experts look for first In dlcatlons of how the battle Is likely to end. Although the official reports do not go beyond saying that the Germans have been forded to give ground before the French attacks and spenk of Noyon and tbe -district around that city as the centre of the operations, Some , correspondents describe the allies' left as extending from just west of Noyon to ns far north as Le -Cute let, from which point, or Peronne, the . new army, of which- there haH heen so many reports but no confirmation. Ib supposed to bo operating to threaten the German right wing. If this Is true the German right is ih a dangerous ipositlon for it cannot extend much further north or west of St. Quentin. Its position runs thence by way of Chauny and south of Laon to north of Reims. Desperate Battle in Centre The allies had thp plateau a few days ago but thc Germun official report claims that lti has been retaken, together With the village of Bethney, . In the -centre between Reims and Soualn, which the French occupied early In thc week, there has been more desperate fighting, the Germans taking tho offensive and, according to the French reports, being repulsed. The Germans also. lhave made some attacks in the Woevre district without success but they have succeeded In crossing the Lorraine frontier and occupying Domevrc, to thc south of Beaumont. The French have captured additional prisoners and supplies. Is Practically Pitched Battle (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON^, Sept. 22, 8.50 *p.m.--The following descriptive account from Field Marshal Fteneh's headquarter;* ot the operation*--, up to Sept. lg was issued tonight: "General headquarters, Sept. 18, 1014. . "At the date of the last narrative, Sept. 14, the Germans were making a determined resistance nlo>ng the river Alsne. Opposition, which It was first thought might possibly be of a rear guard nature, not entailing -material ttela*y to our progress, has developed and hag -proved to be more serious than was anticipated. "The action now being fqught iby the Germans along their line may, It I* true, have been undertaken in order to gain tlmo ifor some strategic operation or move and may hot be theif main stand. But If this is so, the fight- is, naturally, on jl scale which, aS tc, the extent of ground covered nnd' duration nf resistance, makes,it midistlng- ulshuble In Its progress from what Is known na a pitched battle, though the enemy certainly showed signs of considerable disorganization during the •earlier dnys of the retirement phase.

''Whether It was originally intended by them to defend the position they took up ob strenuously as they have done, or Whether the delay gained fbr them during Sept. 12 and 13 hy their artillery has enabled Ihem to d-welon their resistance and strengthen their line to nil extent not originally contemplated, cannot yet be said.

NEW YORK, Sept 22;—The chamber of German-American commerce, incorporated, announced today that there had heen no "battle of tin Marne" and that all the stories written of the advance to the gates of Paris of the German armies and the subsequent defeat and retreat of those armies were inventions pure and simple. That such a battle as was described In tho newspapers early this mantl, nevcr occurred was claimed in a statement written by "thc military expert of the chamber of German-American commerce," who captioned the state ment "Battle of the Marne a Colossal Myth." "For several weeks," he writes, "th. American papers havo been filled with descriptions of the enormous 'battle of the Marne,' lasting for 1*0 days or longer, on a front extending from 100 to 150 miles, where the German armies were defeated and driven back. "It should now be plain to Ameri can editors and their military experts that such a battle has never taken place and is an Invention pure and simple. "The situation is this: After their victories at Mons, Charleroi and other places the Germans followed the enemy quickly. Energetic pursuit ot the enemy is of importance but not without danger and especially If tin enemy's forces are not completely de ■feated as reinforcements can be brought up from various directions. "On or about Sept. ii the Germans recognized that their lines were too far extended and that the distance between the troops and the base of supplies was becoming too great. "In addition, the German right wing 'under Gen. von Kluck was threatened by an army to the north of Paris, probably formed by the Paris garrison, forces withdrawn from the vicdn Ity of Belfort, French troops from •Morocco and perhaps reinforcements. Admits Von Kluck in Danger "Gen. von Kluck's lines, which hnd penetrated as far as Provlns, 50 miles from Paris In a southeasterly direction and near the Seine river, must have •been rather thin, and It would have ibeen extremely hazardous to accept a battle with a large and closely con centrated force of fresh troops. Besides, a pan of the German riglit was bo far from the main army that It had (become extremely difficult if not im possible, to bring up ammunition, etc., In sufficient quantities for a regular battle. "Under the circumstances it nutu: ally became necessary for the German commanders to concentrate the vast army, to draw In the detuch*nnients which had been advanced too far and to take a position in which the force could be used with telling force. How well this movement was executed need not be dwelt upon, because it ls clear to every observer. . "During this movement there was, of course, a number of collisions such as are generally designated as rear guard actions. They were scattered over a wide area, entirety separated from each other and in no cose the result of concentrated action. "In the course of the movement the 'Germans naturally lost a number of prisoners because many small detach* tnents were too far away to be able toireach the main army quickly enough and also some guns, because the heavy rains had made the roads Impassable and ammunition had become scarce. A concentrated movement on so large 'a scale cannot be cxeouted without Souee. "The Oerman general staff undoubt edly speaks the truth when it declares that the allies have won no victory. No real battle was ever fought An Ktrmy, beaten In a struggle lasting 10 .days, ajid '^driven back' as we con ■tantly hear, could not make so firm a stand even on ground chosen by Its ■commander. This whole 'great battle of the Marne' is a myth and has never t&fcen place." .■4ri«fis»ateifc'/ SOME REGIMENTS SUFFER HEAVILY Ninth Lancers, Dorset Regiment, Eighteenth Huzza rs and Engineers Are In Casualty List.

INDIAN TROOPS'ARE BEST IN THE WORLD Gurkhas, Sikhs and All Would Face Most Dangnrous Foe—No Fear of Insurrection "There ts not the shudqw of fear of trouble In India. If every other part of the British empire ls as safe und secure ns India,'Britons may rest with eusy mind." This is tho emphatic opinion of Re\\ .1. G. Brown, secretary of the Baptist Foreign Missions, and himself a missionary of long and varied experience In all parts of the Indian empire. "India Is perfectly safe, as far as dangia't.l'rnni Internal trouble Is con- oemed, conuntiod Uev, Mr. Brown. "My greatest wish, and what I am looking for overy day, Is for a strong force of Indian troops to -land on the continent. When they do, you may bo sui'e they will give a good account of themselves." Rev. Mr. Brown Is not only confident that the native troops wjill be a big help to Britain—he is enthusiastic about them. 'Natural Born Fighters "Fighters every man of them," lie declared. "I have never seen a finer sight than the native cavalry. Men and horses seem one creature. The riders look as If they had heen burn ln the saddle. Fight? Why there Isn't finer fighting material In the whole world Sikhs, Gurkhas, and the rest of the northern tribes ure born fighters. Led (by British officers, they will face anything." "Will thoy stand against modern gun's and trained troops like the Germans?" "Undoubtedly," was the /lulek .'rc- ply*. Vy'Tliey are themselves trained in thcd'So of the moift modern weapons In overy arm of the service. And they want to fight. At the timo of tho Boer war they -begged to bo allowed to fight for the Empire, but Britain was afraid—afraid of letting them know how effective they could ibe against whito troops. Oh, there Is no fear of them facing tbo best which can be brought against them. I hope to see 50,000 or flO.000 of them fighting in France us soon as they can he got thero. If called on, India could and would place half a million of these splendid fighters in tlie field." On the question of loyalty also Rev. Mr. Brown had no fears. No Question of Loyalty "The action of the Indian princes or muhiirajus at the Durbar answers that question," he declared. "Thnt was the most brilliant and most Impressive gathering In the world. And it was genuine, too. The Indian princes arc loyal—thoroughly loyal lo Britain. Not one but has placed all his resources at the disposal of tlie government, down to the last man." "Might not the mass of the people selzethe present as an opportunity tu rise In revolt if the regular troops were withdrawn?" It was suggested. "By no means. That is exceedingly Improbable," was the reply. "The native population of India is, roughly, 310.000,000. Of this 66,000,000 are Mohammedans und the other 250,- 000,000 Hindus. There Is no possibility of these two classes pulling together, Thoy arc too much opposed to each other. The MobammedaiiH would not rise in revolt for fear of the Hindus. Further, if there had been any likelihood of such an uprising It would have Xken place during the Boer wur. The Sultan of Turkey Is the very centre and head of Mu- bannmedan'ism, nnd at that tlme his very life was threatened. But India did not rise nor will she rise now." "Supposing the Improbable happened and an upr||lng did take place, what chance is there of it being effective?" asked thc reporter. "None whatever, unless the whole Indian army were suddenly to sie-je all tihe arsenals. Every rifle and revolver In India Is licensed for six months. I, myself, could not keep n hunting rifle for longer than six months without renewing my license. The government has taken, aml***Si taking every precaution to prevent any trouble in this respect. A German spy, or one Who attempted to stir up the troops, would <lm spotted at once and shot. Thc govorii'ment is running no chances." ' Handle tho Country Well Mr. Brown wtyi enthuslnstlc, also, over the general methods of the British In India, civil as well as military. "I have many lilnjes been proud of being British when I have seen how they rule in India," he declared. "Until I saw for myself I had no conception uf the power possessed by the Anglo-Suxon to rule, it Is splen^d—■ grand. Of course there are men who aro not a oredlt to the'British race and Ideals, but, also, there nrfl some of the most upright, nable and capable British living who hold high posl- t'lbns in India. And It is the pride of the Indian government to be just and fair In all their .dealings. The natives know that If they cun only get their case before an English Judge they will be given justice. ' There Is not a people In the world more given to litigation thai the Indians and \hoy place Implicit faith In the courts." Mr. Brown sees little danger of an Invasion of Bnltish territory hy Turkey, even if she did declare war against Britain. "I believe Germany's idea is to lead Turkey into this trouble so that she may cut off. If possible, the sendjh'g} of Indian troops by way of the Suez canal. But, of course, that is only a guess. "There is one thing certain, how ever. If Britain lands Indian troops ip Franco she will have called.to her| aid the best fighting men In the World."

For 10 Ik urs our brave fellows stood the terrible ordeal, unable to fire a shot in return. Lying flat, on our siomaehs all we could do, was to wait lor..the firing to end. Whole regiments were being decimated. The loss among pur officers was terrible. "Meanwhile many German guns had been turned on the forts, especially Maizeret and Marchibvelette, Tlie men in them, armed with guns of much smaller calibre 'than thp Germans, could offer hut fenble resistance.

''At Mnrchlovelotte 75 men perished lu tho batteries and both forts soon surrendered. The other works, however, still were holding out when lhe army left town. So much confidence had been placed in Gen.

"A SCRAP OF PAPER" When, from the viewpoint of German officialdom, is an in tor national agreement only ;i scrap of paper and when a binding agreement to break wliich is not only a blunder but a erlmeV This is an interesting question. Since Aug. 1, whon Germany commenced Heading out her ultimatums and making her declarations of war, t!m Oornian chancellor and Prince von Buelow, an ex-chancel!or, have on several occasions solemnly warned •Italy of her obligation as a member ol tho triple alliance, of her agreement as Biich to enter the field against Great Britain, France and Russia, and of the dishonor which would bo hoi's if she should fail to implement her engagement as such member, it would be, not only tlio greatest mistake which could bo mado by her to Ignore the obligation incurred hy her, but it would be a crime of th* most heinous character. Germany again has recently threatened China with reprisals of the most drastic character for permitting the Japanese to land troops at Lung-kow, though China went as fur as to for wally protest against the landing of theso troops. This protest, is, how over, not enough to satisfy the views o? official Germ-any as to the extent of her obligations In the premises. She construes this as nn unfriendly act— ono which should be visited by China with much moro vigorous action. There was a treaty of many years' standing, guaranteeing tlie autonomy of Belgian, signed, sealed nnd deliv- eicd by Germany as well as by Great Britain and otlier powers, und the reply of the German chancellor to the British ambassador who was insisting upon its binding obligation upon Germany us well us upon Britain was to characterize it as only a "scrap of p.i per." The only conclusion at which one can arrive is this—that a treaty is of binding obligation with the kaiser and liis chancellor only whon it suits the! convenience so to regard it, Otherwise il is only a "scrap of paper." Tho distinction is ono that Is Basil:" understood, but it may he diffi cult of application by a third person. Treated thus by all powers, what would international obligations bo worth? A TIME FOR CONCERTED ACTION. The i eoplc of Trail havo taken up the matter of thc reduction of service on the Nelsou-ltossland line in n manner which shows that tliey are In earnest. Thoy realize the serious inconvenience which a change such as EL'tfgCFte'd would ho (o them, as well us to the people of the district generally, and they are prepared to do anything they can to secure a reconsideration oi the company's policy in regard *o the mutter. Tlio council of the Nelson board of trade will meet today to deal with tho situation and the Slocan district board of trade also meets today Tor the same purpose. Ono thing both theso bodies should consider is the question of co-operation among all those Interested In order that their protests and thoso of other communities may be made »s effective as possible. It is a time for concerted notion. WITH SALTRHEUH Pained and Burned. Hard and Sore Lumps, Couldn't Rest or Sleep. Finger Swollen. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured. Legcro Corner. N.

SHELLS KILLED THREE IN REIMS CATHEDRAL Pool of Blood Stained Column—German Wounded Hid From Shells of Comrades. (By Dully News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 2.'!.—Tito Tele- giaph's correspondent, 0. Ashmeail liartlett, telegraphing from Reims a description of his visit to the cathedral during the bombardment, says: "A great wave of sunshine lit Up tlm sombre picture of carnage and suffering at the west end, near the main entrance. Hole on piles ot straw- lay wounded Germans in all stages of suffering, their round shaven heads and bluish-gray uniforms contrasting strangely with tlio sombre black of tlie silent priests attending them. Most of Hie wounded had dragged their straw beds behind the great gothlc pillars as If seeking shelter from tholr own shells. "The priests conducted us to one of tho aisles beneath the window where a shell hud entered that morning. A great pool of blood lay there, staining tlie column just as tlio blood of Thomas a. Beckett must have stained tho altar of Canterbury seven centuries before; "That, monsieur/1 one said, "is the blood of a French gendarme who was killed at 11 this morning. But he did not go alone.'

Some three-day call loans, as they are now known, were made at V& per cent. -Bank .subscriptions to the cily loan have absorbed some money recently available for commercial paper with resultant moderate acceptances. Reduction of the Anaconda Copper quarterly dividend from 7fic to 25c naturally caused somc speculation regarding thR action of Amalgamated Copper a. month hence, inasmuch as Anaconda is controlled by Amalgamated1 'Trust stock ownership. The cut In the dividend also drew nt'|>n- tion to the *ftate of the copper 'market, ih'e metal now being offered at 12c per lb, thc lowest price in some years. Bankers said that recent heavy marketings of copper were exercising a beneficial offeut on tho exchange situation and large shipments of cotton from southern porta to Llvenpool were, it was said, in contemplation, ln point of fact, thc outlook for that staple was better than In some days.

'BORDEAUX, Sept. 32.—The attl- tudo of tho French Socialists toward tii.) war is defined in the newspaper Ls. Franco by a Socialist who is described its "one of the highest authorities In Paris." "Nationalism,'' he writes, "never meant tho suppression ot nationality hut an understanding between the nations which naturally presupposes their existence. Socialists realize that victory for Germany would be followed by a rule of the sabre and spurred heel in Europe, while a triumph for Fiunco would mean a German republic, a republic in Bohemia, a republic In. Austria, a republic in Hungary und an end to European militarism. It would mean peace assured and all roads to progress opened.

(By Dally News Lensed Wire.) OTTAWA, Sept. 22.—the following announcement was made hy the prime minister today: "In company with Sir George Foster nnd Mr. Rogers 1 spont three days nt Valcartler cam;), where we met Col. Hughes und had mi opportunity of seeing nearly 25,000 men under review. During the past fortnight the men have Improved wonderfully, both In -appearance and efficiency. The organization of the eamp seems excellent in every way. Everywhere I find most intense anxiety and even impatience to get to the front as soon as possible. "After careful consideration it wns determined to send forward all the men in camp, that Is, all those who have -passed the ni'eessary medical examination. "This expeditionary force, Including tho Princess Patricia regiment, will number approximately .11,200 men ond 7,200 horses. It will comprise 11 batteries of horse and field artillery of six guns each. These aro of the most modern typo and are. the same as those used In the British army "In addition, four heavy guns, known as 00-pounders, will also go forward, ns well as a number of machine guns, many of which have been generously donated hy patriotic citizens whose gifts have already been acknowledged and to whom the Bin- cere thanks of the government and tho Canadian people is due. Received News Gladly "The news that the entire force would go forward was received with loud demonstrations. Yesterday I visited every brigade, shook hands with every officer of the force who was available "nd addressed the assembled officers ot each brigade. In speaking to the officers I said that Canada was proud of the splendid response to thc call of duty and that the Canadian people bade them God speed with the fullest assurance that when the Canadian force was called upon to perform the soldier's earnest duty In meeting tlie foe, wo were con- fldcnt that officers and men would so bear themselves as to bring pride to the hearts of all Canadians. I said also that while Canada was proud of the response that had been evoked by tho call to arms for the defense'of our Institutions , and liberties, the officers and men Inspired by tlie duty of service to the state should also 'bo proud that the occasion gave them the opportunity and privilege of performing that duty. "The reasons for sending the entire force ore obvious. These men have come forward with great earnestness and enthusiasm and have, spent somo weeks at Valcartler in training and in preparation. The numbers assembled, while greatly exceeding the strength of the force at first proposed to ho sent forward, will, to a considerable extent, bo necessary for the purpose of the reinforcements which from time to time Will bo required. Canada to Give More Guns '"the ttftai reinforcements for the first year of a great war are estimated at from CO to 70 per cent. If the re- servo depots necessary for supplying such reinforcements wefo established in Canada eight or 10 weeks might elapse before then could reach tbe front through difficulties of transport, convoy, etc. If, on the other bund, such reserve depots were established nearer to the front the Canadian expeditionary force can be reinforced to Its full strength within four or five days, For this reason, as well as others of a like character, we deemed Lt advisable that the reserves should be kept on band In Great Britain so the force at the front might continually be kept at Us full strength and thnt without the slightest delay, "The great demands on tho British government In supfflylng guna and rifles havo made . it essetrtliiil that Canada should assist" In every possible way, Therefore, In addition to tho 7(J field guns and the machine guns with which the -tana-dlnn expeditionary force Is equipped, wo are arranging to supply tho British government with the following: . Forty-seven Ifc-pounders of the most modern type, which had been ordered before the war broke out. "2. Fifty-one guns of tho same type which the department of militia has on hand. These will go with the transports. "3. Six 60-pounders which will also be sent at this time. "■I. About 30 -machine guns ordered by the Canadian government In England beforo war broke out. May Also Supply Rifles "All this is being done by the Canadian government at tlie request ut the war office In order to assist in equipping tho great army which Is being assembled in the mother country It is also expected that a considerable number of rifles wHl be supplied from Canada to the war office. "Tho recent delay *in forwarding troops haB been altogether due to the requirements of transport, which it is difficult to meet. Steamers numbering 28 or more must sail at tho same time, under convoy. It' will be generally understood that the provision of so large a number of steamers, suitably equipped for the transportation of men, horses, etc.. is no light task. The services of Capt. Lindsay of the marine and fisheries department, who Is an expert In such matters, have been engaged for many weeks past in assisting tbe transport department in this matter. A Committee of prominent men, experienced In transportation across the Atlantic, has also volunteered its services to tho government and theso men have been of great assistance for which the thanks of the government Is tendered." DAUGHTERS OF EMPIRE TO ORGANIZE HERE A movement Is on foot to form a Nelson chapter of the Imperial Daughters of the Empire. This organization has for its aim the care of the widows, orphans and dependents of British soldiers or sailors during war, in time of 'peace or under sickness, accident or reverses of fortune. Members nre pledged to promote uulty between the motherland, the sister colonies and themselves; to promote loyalty to King and country; to forward every good work for the betterment or their country and people, and to draw women's Influence to the 'betterment of all things connected with the Empire.
