Ixmdon, Sept. 9.-The allied armlc3 continue to have the advantage, ac cording to French official reports, In what only can be the preliminaries of a great battle extending from Meaux, northeast of Pari?, to the Fortress ot Verdun, about 200 miles farther east. Thc Germans, who have brought up reinforcements, arc striking at the al lies' left and cantor between M ont mi ra il and Vitry-LeFrancois, a front of from fifty to sixty miles, . but each time they have been driven back. This is not surprising to military men, as the Germans' have been com pelled to advance through the swamps of tho Petit Morin, and then over bare uplands to the extremely strong French position on tho right, it is their only chance, however, and it is expected they will strike and strike, again. Thc Germans are bringing their re inforcements down from Chalons on the roads leading to Fere-Champe noise, Sommesous and Sompuis, in the fr.ee of the French artillery posted .on tho heights, \wblch give the French .a great advantage General Pan. who commands the center ot the French army, in thia district.

On his left tue British force has driven the Germana across the Grand Motin and Petit Morin rivers, towards the Marne itself, while on the extreme left the French, sixth army, advancing from Paru along thc Ourcq river, has had further sue ceases and ls threatening General Klucks communication. In the east tho Germans so far have failed In their attempts to break across the rivers and through the hills of Argonne between Vitry-LeFrancols and Verdun on the right wing of the allie? Again, according to French reports, there has been no action against the Grand Couronne of Nancy, and In the Vosges and Alsace tito situation re mains unchanged. All this favorable nows has- cheered the gilles,, but military critics warn the public that the bacuo has not been won yet, and that there probably will bc a week or more fighting before a decision is reached.

The latter arc to be commanded by their prlnces^and chiefs. Besides this, India lg to pay thc coat of transportation of her troops to Eu rope and the Indian princes' are send ing rich gifts to the war funds being raised in their own country and Eng land. The dominions and the colon ies have placed their ships, men and money at the- disposal of the home government so that the whole forces of the empire have been recruited against her 'uemy. "The oT.cial bureau has issued a denial of the report that dominion trnnpn have arrived 'and while no statement has been Issued regarding the movements' of the Indian contin gent, except that some of them left India several weeks ago. the opinion is general that they either have join ed G?rerai French's forces or are ebout to do so. The report that a great Russian force had gone to join the allies in Franco seeing to have arisen from tho fact that Russian reservists from Eng land, the United States and other countries who could not get to their own country, joined the French army. In the United Kingdom recruiting! continues. Men are joining the colors by thousands and it ?B expected that Lord Kitchener's half million men will have been obtained by the eud of the week. A problem with which England is faced ls that of caring for the thous, of refugees driven out of Bcdgium. A splendid organization, however, has tho matter in hand, and as the refu-> gees come in they are sent quickly to different parts of the country, where hospitality awaits them. One boat brought 1,100 from Ostend today. Many of those refugees landed with all their worldly possessions in bags o; ??fi A strikes fo*r?r? of the arrivals waa the Lumiiur ot widows and little children.

TO THE SPHERE OF WAR 500 LIVES DAILY Delay in Move Against Germans Increases Toll of Human Life When Fight Does Begin (By Associated Press ) Tokio, August 18.-Japan'? decision to send an ultimatum to Germany and thus ext?nd the ti:e?trd of war from Europe to Asia, was reached only, af ter some discussion among Japanese statesmen. It was the genro or elder statesmen who first opposed Japan's participa tion Extensiv J negotiations wero necessary also between Oreat Britain and Japan before ah accord was reached as to tho sphere of Japan's ac. tlon and the exact program Japan was to carry out in the fulfilment of her alliance with England. As soon as war was declared be tween England and Germany, Japan mobilized ber fleet and soon after that several ?u-my corps were ordered In readiness for quien mobilization. The third Japanese squadron, located at Shanghai, was reinforced by se vera i warships from the home fleet and a patrol was established In the historic Straits of Tsushima. A flying squadron of seven cruisers was organized at Yokohoma with Prince Fushlml in command, while Hh'e battleship squadron at Sazebb was increased to eight bbs gun ships; including the dreadnought Kongo and new draudnought Hlyel. On August ll, when everybody tn Japan bad been prepared tor a com munication from the government re garding her participation in the hos tilities, a halt came in the general ac tivities-. This was explained as due first to a hitch la the negotiations between Japan and Engiarld concerning the acope of Japan's 'action and being albo d?o io Great Britain's desire io cm??i America that Japan bad any.designs fear? Uaat might exist lu China and ia upon the integrity of China. Great Britain was desirous that the world should not imagine that, with the en trance ot Japan Into the conflict, a violent and limitless war waa t*? be carried on in* the Pacific ocera. Some discussion, it is said, also was held upon the question/ of Japan's ?-talus in the peace congress of Eu rope to he held after conclusions of the war. Another important factor in tho situa tion was that the Japanese themselves were not in harmony aa to Japan's at titude, but after a series or delibera tions they reached unanimity. - Aa thia correspondence ls leaving, 'roops are being mobilized in differ ent parts of the empire, including four regiments'of artillery at Tokio. A fleet of transports is walting at Mojl to convey Japan's army to the shores of China. It is not improbable (bat an army corps will move down to wards KlaO-ChoW from Manchuria. Japanese do not regard the ieduc tion of Kla-Chow as an easy matter. They do not, of course, give it any thing of the same importance as they attached to Port Arthur, but they re alise that..curing the long delsy the Germans have strongly fortified the port of Tslng-Tau. They know'that the Germans have dismantled several warships and have placed several big guns on the heights of the two arms of Klao-Chow Bay. They know, too, that the harbor haa bean thoroughly minod and that am munition enough has reached Klao Chow to enable the Germans to en dura a long siege. A- ooo man put it: "Each day that we delay in mov on Tslng-Tau means a sacrifice of 500 additional lives."

They will renow. to morrow the effort to draft a war revenue bill. The president made^Ms attitude known at a c giferenco with democratic leaders of congress. . Preliminary steps also were takeu by democratic senators today to read just the pending $53,000,000 rivers and harbors appropriation bill, against which republican senators have etsi* ducted a filibuster on ground that it is framed on extravagant lines and that the $100,000,000 war rovenuojhill would not be necessary if the View projects proposed In the bill were abandoned. Senators who champion the ?tiffi have asked the war department tb re vised est U?ates on the amounts lately necessary to carry on existia g river and harbor works and the ut most urgent new projects In antici pation of pruning the till. lt was1 Ttvportod tcstgfct that con ference between republican ' senatbhk opposing tb? bill and uemceratio ere bal been held *t which tlonl were nade fdr a con pt? vius the way ioz zszly sdizuimr?-*- ?5 r.nd removing much senate opposition to the war revenue tax, j??i.

They were not'dis appointed by the president's proval df their decision to inc the income tax one half of one cent and to decrease the exemption. The president's principal objection was ?aid to be that Such .a t?x waa not immediately available and fore undesirable. ?Chairman Underwood, who. ed the subject with tas a^sjat? was inclined to agree with thia view and lt is improbable that an Income tax amendment will be 'proposed, gjajf rettes probably will be added to tho list of taxable commodities al ready agreed to, such as beer, wine? and rectified spirits. A plan alaojds under consideration to ???*ie a tax Ot? amt ons dellar a barrel, which weam yield $65,000,000. Th?t amount, to gether with the $10,000,000 from wines. $2,000.000 from rectlued spirits probably ?3,000,000 from cigarettes, probable taxes on railroad freight, gasoline, automobiles, some proprie tary articles and soft drinks, lt is-es timated, would yield all the revenue necessary, particularly .
