(Associated Prtss Rtpori.) LONDON, September 26, 9:30 p. m. Th British am! French armies have taken several large "nibbles" out of th 0r man lines between Verdun and th BJ- gian coast, capturing in the proceM trenches along a front of about 20 mile. nearly 1L00 prisoners, eight guns and number of machine guns. At the same time British warsjilps and i French and Belgian batterlei hearlly bombarded the German positions on tlW coast between Zeebrugge and Nleuport.

The offensive which resulted In tha French and British victories began 8atur lay morning. For Beveral weeks thera has been an almost Incessant bombard mont with large guns which late lat week Increased in intensity particularly in the sectors where the Infantry attack took place.

OUT OF THEIR TRENCHES. Aeeordins to the French account th Germans were driven out of their trenches over a front of 15 miles, varying In depth from two-thirds of a mile to two ana one- half miles. The French in this engage-- ment captured 12,000 prisoners. Appar1 ently the advantage Is being pressed stlB further as the French communication makes only the briefest mention 01 the operations.

DUAL GOVERNMENT EXPLAINED ITS ATTITUDE ON NEUTRALITY Note declared Austria Did Not Ex pect United States to Issue Order Forbidding American Factories to Do Normal Business. (Associated Press Report.) AMSTERDAM, September 28, via London, 3:15 a.

m. The Austro-Hun- garian government, according, to an official telegram received here today from Vienna has in reply to the American note of August 12 relative to the manufacture of ammunition in the United States reiterated the position taken In Us protest of June 29. The reply affirms that Austro-Hun- garia never Intended to imply that It expected Washington would forbid Amer ican citizens to do a normal traffic in war material with the enemies of the dual monarchy but solely protested against the economic life of the United States being made subservient to the pro duction of war material on the greatest possible scale whereby the United States became "militarized." TEXT OF NOTE GIVES POSITION. The note proceeds: "According to paragraphs 2 and 3 of the preamble of the Hague convention No. 13 of 1907 supplemented by the general principles of neutrality th.

Austro-Hungarian government considers the concentration of material whereby, although not Intentional but In fact, effective support is rendered one of the belligerent parties Is a 'fait nouveau' (departure) which confutes the reference of the United States to supposed prece dents. "The dual government is further of the opinion that the excessive export of war material is not admissible even If It Is exported to countries of both belligerent parties. The above mentioned "fait nouveau' should be sufficient reason for altering the existine; practice of the United States In regard to Its ub servience to neutrality. 9 REPLV TO BOER WAR REFERENCE. The suggestion of the Austro-Hun- garlan government on the question ot supply of war materials was Intended to prove that it is in the power of the United States to open the way for commerce with the central powers, because this possibility has been prevented by the entente powers by measures which even the government of the 1'nited States re gards as Illegal.

'The reference by the United States to the Boer war Is less opposite since at that time Kngland did not prohibit com merce and therefore there was no nues tion of tho commercialization of South Africa." The note points out relative to Wash ington's reference to the German pub Heist. Paul Einicke. that Einicke himself has publicly protested against one para graph of his essay on "neutrality and naval warfare being interpreted in favor of the I nited States.

MONARCHIAL FORM LI If CV.tl D-J, veiesuai ixepuouc may anni pm to GoYernraent by Absolute Emperor. AMERICAN EDUCATOR WROTE LONG PAPER ON PROBLEMS President Yuan Shi-Kai Is Spoken of as Probable Ruler in Case the Country Returns to Its Old System of Government (Correspondent of the Associated Press.) PEK1X. August 10. The Associated Press cable dispatches of August 16. disclosing that the project of a shift back to a monarchlal form of government was Under discussion In China, may now be elaborated with the full text of interesting documents bearing on the matter.

Although President Yuan Shi-kal has denied that be desires to be emperor, and several of his prominent supporters have authorized the statement that the president would decline the imperial title if it were offered him, China Is still -stirred by the extent to which the monarchlal movement has gained headway. The man-ilesto published on August 16 by the "Society for Peace," advocating the restoration of the monarchy, and signed by Yany Tu, head of the Hankow Develop-meit Plan, and other prominent supporters of Yuan Shl-kai, is generally regarded by Chinese of ull parties as a feeler thrown out to determine how the public would accept the idea of an emperor. In some high quarters, both Chinese anr foreign, it is believed that if no revolution develops or danger of revolution develops. Yuan Shi-kai will worship heaven as the emperor of China before another year. Kor months previous to the appearance ot the above mentioned manifesto there had been a uuiet campaign conducted in Peking and other cties for the re-establishment of a monarchy.

The manifesto Itself, as translated from the Chinese by the I'ekin Gazette, reads ns pllowa: "During the revolution of 1311 the racial prejudices of our people were so aroused that their attention was entirely concentrated on the removal of a certain section of the population and they did not give the least consideration to the future political affairs of the country. They hastily adopted the republican form of government without weighing carefully its suitability for this country. When a proposal to this effect was made by a few people. others followed blindly without further questioning its advisibility. The far-sighed people at that time foresaw the danger hiiiI trouble to the.

future of the country. but to prevent distention and other troubles, which would have further endangered the existence of the country, were compelled to accept this proposal though reluctantly. IMPERIAL ABDICATION FOLLOWED BY ANARCHY. "Since the abdication of tbe Tsing Imperial House, followed by a period af anarchy, the regime of the provisional government and finally the establishment o( lie present government, tlieie have been numerous crises in the government and many unspeakable sufferings of the people, which are still fresh in the memory of every class of our people. If proper measure is not devised to remedy the situation the will be endless trouble in this country.

In such countries as Argentine, Peru, Chile and other republics in South and Central America, party fueds have been the order of the and such quarrels frequently culminated in cinl war. In Portugal the recent change ol' government from a monarchy to a republic has been inimedntely followed by deadly internecine strife, and the case of all in in Mexico. Since the abdication of hiaz. that country has been seething with civil strife till the present day. Their party leaders have struggled for Miprenui.

with one another with military forces. When they win the occupy the land and when they are defeated they never scruple to commit looting, Incendaiism ami massacre. Finally the whole nation is divided into five camps with as many presidents, and the country Is practically in a state of anarchy. As we are a newly established republic, we should take as our object lesson. "The L'ntted States of America Is the senior republic of the world, and with her great student of polities, lr.

Goodnow, has stated that a monarchy is a better form of government than republicanism, and according to his opinion, a monurchial form of goverment is most indispensable at present for China. This view has been shared by not a few notable scholars of other countries. As lr. (ioodnow is a citizen of a republic, he is more competent to make such a. statement than others.

His words are: 'the. conditions; are dif ferent In China and America and It Is Impossible to transplant one system from one country to If foreigners who are In smypathy. with China have so open ly and loudly lead before us their un prejudiced views, can we people of China leave everything to fate, raising not a hand to find a fundamental solution for this important problem? Where Is your Where Is you duty as a clt lien of the If you, for fear of adverse criticism or other dangers remain silent and Indecisive?" URGED TO ACTION TO SAVE COUNTRY. I'We are the people of this country, the prosperity or decline of tltta country Is nothing less than the prosperity of decline of ourselves.

Madero and his official iiujirecto family were gathered at the little adobe headquarters on the Mexican bank ot the Rio Grande opposite the El PaBO smelter early in 1911, none thought that within, the next few years they would be fighting among themselves and be carrying on a fraticidal strife In Mexico.
