BEYOND LOOS MUST DO MORE, ALWAYS MORE touch Reach Second Line of Whole German Front In Champagne.Toll of Enemy Dead In Caplnred Trenches Is Moontlng Hourly.Kaiser\u2019s Army Has Suffered Even Greater Defeat Than in Root Which Followed Great Battle of Marne.Russians ' \" to Push the Enemy Back and Italians are Gaining More Ground After Desperate Fighting in Their Ice Glad Mountain Zones.London Relieves That Complete Story of the Allies Progress is Yet Untold.New York, Sept.29.\u2014 (Special) \u2014A cable to the Herald from London this morning says : While England exults over the inspiring news from Sir John French, that the British army has penetrated to the third line of German defence in the terrific fighting around and beyond Loos, there is even more enthusiasm over the reports of the gallant French reaching the second line on their whole Champagne front The toll of German dead bodies piled one upon another in the captured trenches is mounting hourly.When these losses, added to those of the Germans in Champagne, where the enemy captives are now admitted to be nearly 25,000, it will be realized that the Kaiser\u2019s army has suffered an even greater defeat than in the rout which followed the great Battle of the Marne.The French east of Souchez are pushing forward to the crests of the Vimy Ridge, the capture of which w ill be the prelude to a great battle in the open on the plains of Artois.COMPLETE STORY UNTOLD.There is a belief here that the complete story of the Allies\u2019 progress is yet untold, and this feeling is intensified by the cryptic announcement in a despatch to the Daily News which says that a feeling of great optimism prevails in Paris and throughout France w'hich would be much greater if the public knew the whole truth.RUSSIANS PUSH ENEMY BACK.In this connection, I may say that London shares with France the feeling 0f optimism, which was increased last night by the news that the Russians are continuing to push the enemy back, that the Italians are gaining more ground after desperate fighting in their ice-clad mountain zones, and that Bulgaria no longer thinks of following the example of Turkey and Austria by becoming the tool of Germany.ADMITS GERMAN BATTLEFRONT IS RESTRICTED.London, Sept.29.\u2014(Special)\u2014Discussing the situation in the east, Major Moraht says in the Berliner Tageblatt, according to a Reuter despatch from Amsterdam: \u201cOur battlefront in East Galicia and Northeast Volhynia is restricted at present to the défensive.Here General Ivanoff undoubtedly has been fortunate.He has understood how to render harmless our threatening flanking movements on the north and south of the battlefront.The Volhynia triangle of fortresses must he -onqt\u2019ered later.\u2019\u2019 GERMAN LINES WEARING THIN ON WEST FRONT GERMAN LOSSES SIXTY THOUSAND IN CAMPAGNE London, Sept.29.\u2014 (Special)\u2014A despatch to the Daily News from the British Headquarters, dated September 27, says: One deduction may be drawn from ; the last two days which is of good omen for the future.We have often! been told that the German Unes in the w-est were wearing thin.We New York, Sept.29.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 A special cable to the New York World, from Paris says: The Kaiser reached the western front, coming through Luxemburg at breakneck speed in a special train yesterday (Monday) afternoon, and has been in continuous consultation with the Crown Prince and other generals, seeking a means to bring know, within narrow Hniits, their j the French advance in Champagne to numbers, and these numbers are less than ours.We are attacking all along the front uo prevent the thin part of the German front from being strengthened from elsewhere, and the plan so far looks like succeeding, A word of caution muv be spoken to those who look for too speedy results.A great strategic plan takes time for its working out.It was three months from Von Macken-sen's first assault on Dunajec till Warsaw- fell, and these three months included temporary reverses, such as those on the Dniester, the Wieprz, and at Lublin.SERBIANS REPULSE AUSTRIANS Wish, Sept.28, via London.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 The following official statement has been issued at the Serbian War Office: \u201cOn the 24th hostile aeroplanes flew over Podjcrvatz, dropping twenty-two bombs and killing three men, but doing no damage of military significance.On the 25th they again dropped bombs, killing one man.Ttic same day enemy detachments tried vainly to cross the Drimi near Res-nik.A similar attempt was made near Porachnltz the night of the 24th.'* halt.This information reaches me from the highest possible military source.It was obtained originally from the German officers captured in the Argonnc fighting.From the same authority I have it that the German losses in Champagne alone total more than 60,000, and that the Kaiser's advent in that sector is evidence that the Germans fear disaster will overwhelm their sorely tried centre.In Artois they have lost between 30,0IM) and 40,000.GERMANS LOST MORE THAN 120,000 MEN Estimate of (lie\tcasualties in (lie Recent Offensive of French and British NUMBER OF CANNON BROUGHT TO THE REAR OF THE FRENCH LINES NUMBER SEVENTY-NINE.Paris, Sept.29, 2.25 p.m.\u2014 (Special) \u2014German casualties in the recent offensive of the French and British, including killed, wounded a\u201cd prisoners, were given officially by the French War Office to-day as in excess of the strength of three army corps (more than 120,000 men) .There is no interruption of the fighting in Champagne.Progress of the Frcneh in the Artois region, Northwestern France, continues.North of Mas-siges, the War Office says, 1,000 Germans surrendered.The text of the statement follows : \u201cThe reports -which are coming to hand make it possible to record each day more fully the importance of the success obtained by our recent offensive movement in the Champagne i district, combined with that of the Allied troops in the Artois district.\u201cThe Germans have not only been compelled to abandon along an extended front certain positions strongly entrenched in the defence of which they had been ordered to resist to the very end, but they have suffered losses, the total of which in killed, wounded and prisoners amounts to more than the effective strength of three army corps (120,004) men) .The total number of prisoners is at the present time in excess of 25,000 men.The number of cannon brought to our rear is 79.Seventeen thousand and fifty-five private soldiers and 316 officers, taken prisoners by us, already have gone through the town of Chalons on their way to the points where they are to he interned.\"Organized efforts are at present under way to the points where they are to be interned.\u201cOrganized efforts are at present under way to clear up the held of battle and to take definite count of the arms of all kinds and of the war material belonging to the artillery and infantry branches which the enemy has been compelled to abandon to us.\u201cIn the Artois district the progress reported yesterday to the east of Souchez continued yesterday evening, and in the course of last night, after a stubborn engagement, we reached Hill No.140, the culminating point of the crests of Vimy and the orchards to the south of this point.\u201cThe number of unwounded prisoners made by us in the course of this lighting is more than 300, and the men belong mostly to the two divis-j although a wireless despatch from ions of the Guards.\tBerlin on September 21 stated

\u2014While asserting that French artillery now is taking its normal part in operations on the western front, Albert Thomas, Minister of Munitions, asserted in an interview last night that still greater things must be accomplished.\u201cWe must go as far as the resources of the country permit,\u2019\u2019 he said, \u201cand farther than our actual resources, for there remain others yet to be created.The first news from the front convinces me that we must do more\u2014always more.All sorts of offers of work are pouring in, but they require sifting.Our role is to direct the nation in the right Chanels.Shells cannot be gathered like nuts.\u201cThe results of the past few days show the enormous nature of the task still before us, and the efficacy of that already accomplished.We need more work, still more organization, and more enterprise.Much remains to be done in the way of discipline and organization.There are people who see the State\u2019s necessity as a gold mine to be exploited.Such is the financier who circularizes his clients recommending war industries as good investments.We have had to defend ourselves from this class.1 may add that the State now has fully equipped factories at its disposal, while heretofore everything had to be created.\u2019\u2019 LAND TROOPS IN MACEDONIA British Office; Says That It Means the Beginning of the March on to Berlin TWO
