sia, stubbornIy Retiring Before a
Superior Force-Austria Fears Hos
tile Action of Italy

London, Sept. 14.-Incontectable is
the adjective Gen. Joffre, CON nander
of the French forces, used in describ-
ing the victory claimed by the allies
along the western battle front
But little news of the vaguest SO. !,
filters through Germany regarding
the operations in the west. The
tone of the Berlin official statements
shows that the people are being warn
ed not to be too optimistic, as revers-
es may be expected The latest bat
tie news from Berlin describes a sor-
tie at Paris, Sept 6.
While indicating that the Austrian
army in Galicia is in sore straits, dis
patches fom many sources, including
Vienna, indicate that reports of the
complete destruction of that army
are exaggerated.
The latest Russian reports indicate
that Gen. Rusky's forces are meeting
dIIlcu TtSlStdllCe. II is evident, now
ever, that the Austrian center was
crumpled up, with the left wing hurl-
ed back upon the marshes of the Riv-
er San. This left wing, composed of
the flower Of the Austrian troops,
may be caught in a trap, making an
unconditional surrender the only al
tentative to destruction
A Petrograd official statement says
that Gen. Rennenkampff, in east Prus
.sia, is 'stubbornly retiring before a SUI
perior force, rather than risk the
turning of his left flank by the Ger
mans
Austria evidently fears hostile ac-
tion on the part of Italy, according
to newspaper reports from Rome.
Feverish efforts are being. made to
fortify Trieste against attack. The
coast in that vicinity is being mined.

OTHER PORTS TO
JOIN IN FIGHT
THEY WILL WORK FOR TRADE
WITH THE VARIOUS SOUTH
AMERICAN PORTS.

The fact that a cargo of naval
stores was shipped from Brunswick
to South America last week, the first
to go from any Southern port since
the European war, has started other
ports to work for some of this busi-
aess. and they are now taking steps
ir that direction.
The following from the Jackson
vile Times-U Union on the subject
Will show just what that port intends
doing:
The moving of 1000 barrels of ros-
IN Saturday by the Clyde steamship
Chippewa, bound to South American
port from Brunswick, has aroused
hope in local circles for the early
activity again OF the product on
which Florida bases SO great business
:. l-Jrmal times.
The shipment to South America
also indicates that the first real fruits
Oh the European war for good are
being felt in this country, since Soutn
America has hitherto done most OF
her trading with Germany.
Recently many South Atlantic ports
nave gone after the South American
trade IN a practical manner, after
their exports were cut off from across
the Atlantic, and the indications now
are that the entering wedge having
been driven there will be other ex-
ports OF Southern naval stores, and
these will be followed by other pro-
ducts OF the farms and factories of
this section of the country.
This is the first shipment of rosin
from Southern pert since the war
really became a force with regard
to shipping, except such NJ went to
domestic points.

"THE BATTLE OF THE AGES"

London, Sept. 14.--While the first
stage of the great battle of the Marne
perhaps correctly described as the
battle of the ages" appears to have
been won by the French and Brit
ish, military experts pointed out to-
day that the main German army Is
still intact and the supreme clash
still to come.
The present week may zee more
desperate encounters than any which
have taken place. Metz, the capital OF
Lorraine, and the chain OF forts
thence to Diedenhofen on the Moselle
II miles north of Metz, form a strong
pivot for the German left, while the
river courses and the dense forests
on the frontier, together with the
strategic roads give the German army
Of invasion, now in retreat, a splen-
did opportunity for defensive action
should the French pursuit extend this
far.
All kinds OF perplexing possibilities
are forseen by the military. observers
in the event of the Germans regain
ing the position they held before they
started the rush of 100000 men on
Paris, particularly should they sue
ceed in taking back any large portion
Of their forces.
