London, Sept. 1.-Fighting desper-
ately, with utter disregard OF their
men, the two huge columns that form
the main wedge OF the kaiser's i'll
vading army today are pushing stead
lily toward their apparent object, Laon,
the gateway to the Disc valley, which
sweeps from that point in a natural
highway to Paris, less than sixty mile
away-the goal OF the kaiser's cam
paign.
One column drove back the allies
along the Somme river at point near
Abbeville, it is admitted, and menaces
the important town Of Amiens. The
second invading column, fighting along
rise from La Fere to ST. Quentin,
in the department OF Aisne. apparent
ly is meeting with greater resistance,
but while the allies claim to be hold
ing st. Quentin, they admit retire
ment at La Fere.
In the east, along the line OF the
Mouse, the French declare that The
tide of battle has turned and that they
are driving back the German advanC G
that was operating from Longwy and
Luneville, but experts fear that when
the two northern armies OF invaders
combine at point near Laon, they
will sweep down toward Paris with
such speed that the French along
the Mouse will be obliged TO abandon
the offensive to avert being cut oil
from the capital.
The object OF this fierce attack Oh
the Germans along the Mouse is tC
force them to weaken their northern
army to support the Longwy corps. Il
is hoped that they yet may be com
PEELED to do this.
The following official statement was
issued at Paris:
ION our right, after partial checks
we have taken the offensive and the
enemy is retiring before us.
in the center We have had alter
nate checks and successes.
"On our left a series of circum
stances turned in favor OF the Ger
mans and despite lucky counter az
tacks the Anglo-French forces were
obliged to give way. As yet our armie:
notwithstanding few ncontestibl'
/ checks, remain intact.
! The morale OF our troops is excel
! lent in spite of considerable losse'
which are being filled from regimenta
depots."
! The discouraging feature OF this an
| nouncement is the admission the Ger
man attack on the center has as
sumed the proportions of general Ell
gagement. This is believed to ind
| cate that the Germans have been rein
! forced and that the main body is nov
J less than sixty miles from Paris.
The La Fere-Laon position, upol
which the Germans are converging, i
a strong one consisting of two towns
1t is very plain that the German
are not detaching any of their troop
on the French front. The vast arm
is being held intact, every effor
being made to deliver a suprem
crushing blow to the allies and thu
open a clear way to the outer Pari
defenses.
