MAKE STAND ON RIVER AISNE
Germans Turn and Face POSSIBILITIES
IN Good Condition-Germans
Evacuate Amiens.

Paris.-The French official state
ment says that French troops have re-
occupied Amiens, which was abandon
ed by the Germans, but that the Ger
mans are making stand on the River
Aisne.
The statement is as follows:
"On our left wing we have every
where caught up with the rear guards
and even the main body of the enemy.
Our troops have re-entered Amiens,
abandoned by the German forces.
1.-THE enemy appears to be making a
stand on a prepared front along the
River Aisne.
ION the center, similarly, 1t would
seem as il the enemy intends to resist
on the heights to the northwest and
to the north of Rheims. In the region
between Argonne and the Mouse he
continues to retire.
"On our right wing, in the Woevre
district, we have succeeded in reliey-
ing the fort of Troyon. which has been
attacked time and time again during
the last few days. (Troyon is IL miles
south, southeast of Verdun.)
"In Lorraine our pursuing detach-
ments are keeping, as everywhere else,
in touch with the Germans.
"The morale and sanitary condition
OF our armies continue excellent"
Pursuit of the retreating German ar.
mics by the British and French forces
continues with vigor. according to, the
French view.
Despite their great numbers the Ger.
man Withdrawing movement is being
carried out with rapidly and clever
ness. The main body appears to be ap'
preaching the Belgian frontier, while
the German left wing seemingly is
gaining shelter in German Lorraine.

SAY AUSTRIANs HEMMED IN
Great Fortresses Of PrzemysI Heavily
Discounted by Russians Position.
Enemy Is Surrounded.

London.-A dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company from Pc.
trograd says that after the capture of
Opole and Tourobine, Russian forces
have hemmed the enemy into an angle
formed by the junction of the River
Vistula and the River San.
The Morning Posts Petrograd cor
respondent says:
with the Russians already south of
the San River. the significance of Pre-
mysl and the other strongholds of the
district have been heavily discounted.
These fortresses were intended to COW
er the great triangle between the Wis
tula and San rivers and the Carpathian
mountains. They have proved useless
for that purpose and the question now
is whether the beaten and democrat
lied armies can even reach safety at
Cracow. Other refuge there is none.
The situation looks almost as bad for
the eastern as for the western armies
Of the Germanic allies"

Petrograd.-The following official
communication was issued here:
ION the Austrian front the Russian
troops are crossing the San river. On
taking position near Rawaruska the
Russian troops captured 30 cannon,
5000 prisoners and also enormous
stores Of war material and provisions.
THE results Of the pursuit of the
enemy in that territory are still UNI
known.
"In the marshes of Belgoraion the
Russians found more Austrian batter
les sunk in the mud, abandoned dur
ing retreat.
'The general army, while repulsing
the last desperate Austrian attack,
captured, the moment our troops took
the offensive, great number Of pris--
oners and guns, the number of which
has not as yet been determined.
Gen. Brussiloff declares his troops
gave proof of great energy, determine
tion and bravery. The commanders Of
the corps, he says, led their units
with imperturbable GOODNESS, snatch
ing victory from the enemy on more
than one occasion at critical moments.
Gen. Brussiloff particularly com
mends the activity OF Bulgarian Gen.
Radko Dmitrieff in the fighting.

GERMANS RETREAT
NEARLY 100 MILES
WAS KNOCKING AT THE GATES
OF PARIS ONLY A FORT
NIGHT AGO.
PREPARE FOR BIG BATTLE
VIII Fight With River Aisne In Front
Of Their Right, the Hills Of Rheims
Facing Their Center, and the
Mountains on Left.

London.--The German army, which
less than fortnight ago Was at the
gates of Paris" and the right wing Of
which then extended southeast of the
French capital, is drawn up on almost
a straight line, extending from the
neighborhood of Noyon. in the west, to
Bots FORCES on the Mouse, north Of
Verdun, with its left resting on the
German fortress Of Metz.
Thus the right wing. at least, has
gone back more than 70 miles in>two
weeks, while the rest of the army
also has had to retire before the whole
could find ground on which to make
another stand against the advance Of
the allies.
There seems little doubt that the
Germans intend to give battle on this
line, with the River Aisne in front of
their center and the mountains and
forest of Argonne on their left. They
went back steadily before the French
and English armies, fighting only rear
guard actions until their right, in COM
mand OF Gen. Won Kluck. got across
the Aisne. Then they turned and de-
livered several counter attacks which.
however, according to British official
reorts, we're repulsed, the Germans
leaving 200 prisoners in the hands Of
tie British.
These counter attacks doubtless
were delivered in the hope of giving
the troops of the right wing, exhaust
ed by the long advance followed by a
retreat almost as long, an opportunity
to rest and prepare positions from
which they could resist attacks from
the allies and in which they could
await reinforcements before taking up
the offensive again.
The Germans are in the billy coun-
try around Noyon, on the plateau
north Of Vic-Sur-Aisne and Scissors,
and north of Rheims. where they are
digging strong intrenchments and re-
ceiving reinforcements. But even here,
this right wing, which up to the pres
ent has borne the brunt of the fight
ing and the retreat, is not altogether
safe, for the French army operating
from Amiens clings to its flank, while
the British and French forces continue
to press in front.

London.-In the great battle Of Sew
On rivers, which is still raging in the
German center as result of repeated
assaults by the French, this center is
beginning to give way. Germans are
entrenching strongly along the banks
OF the Mouse in preparation for an
other battle. The Frahco-British are
slowly, surely pressing forward.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company from Bordeaux says:
"A telegram received here from
Delemont, Switzerland, reports that
violent fighting is taking place in AL
SAGE, where the French are gaining
ground"
Paris.-The official statement is
sued here says that the situation is
without change.
The resistance of the Germans has
not been broken, although at certain
points they are described as giving
back slightly. At other points they
continue to fortify themselves.
The French have repulsed some OF
their c0unter-attackS.
London.-Another great battle, even
more vital for the countries concerned
than those that have preceded 1t, is In
progress on a line extending from the
region of Noyon, on the River Disc,
northwest of Paris, to River Mouse,
north of verdun.
The front is shorter than in the bat
tie of the Marine. but this will result
only In more fiercely contested bat
tie, with masses of troops throwing
themselves at each other and every
available piece of artillery concentrat-
ed in the determined effort of the ar
mics to break through each others
Lines.

INVADERS ARE PUSHED BACK
German Armies All Along the Line
In France Are Forced to Re-
treat Hastily.

London.-The retirement of the Ger
man armies virtually all along the line
in France continues, according to the
French official reports, and advices
from Switzerland describe the pro-
found impression news of the Ger
man retreat has created along the
Swiss German frontier and in various
parts Of Germany.
Already the Germans have been
pushed back by the allied armies at
some points for distance Of go miles
or more, and the French have reoccu-
pied various towns they evacuated
two weeks ago.
The Belgians have taken the offens-
i've and are reported to have cut the
German line of communication, forcing
them to use the line through the Mouse
Valley and Luxembourg.

Union of South Africa have pledged
allegiance to the empire and have ap-
proved the action Great Britain has

Russian official advices describe op-
erations in Russian Poland culminat-
ing in the victories of Krasnik and
Tomaszow. One million men were en-
gagged on the Austrian and German
side and for six days the Russians re-
NAMED on the defensive, finally un-
dertaking general offensive move
ment by reason Of the successes OF
Gen. Ruzsky and Gen. Brussiloff.

Notwithstanding TO statement

sition of great Importance, the pur-
pose being to render secure the Ser

BATTLE RACES ON BORDER
Germans Halt-Throw Up Breast
works and Turn Upon Allies.
Crown Prince Leads Army.

Paris.-A furious battle is raging to
the north of the Aisne, where the Ger
mans have halted their retreat, thrown
up temporary earthworks and have
turned to resist the oncoming allies,
who have been hanging persistently
at their heels for six days.
The line of the battle which shall de-
eide whether the German army shall
be driven from France to pursue the
war on German territory extends from
the Aisne river to Verdun.
The allied forces on the left wing
are in close contact with the German
right, which has halted in its retreat
in a hurriedly fortified position north
of the Aisne, and the rival armies
pursued and pursuers--are now en-
gagged in rear-guard action, the first
decisive stand Of the retreating Ger
mans since their retirement from the
north of Provins began.
The engagement has every aspect OF
a maneuver designed to hold the allies
until the German armies behind this
covering force shall have had time to
reassemble and realign for the next
big battle on French soil, which is ex-
pected at the end Of this week. Should
the final effort Of the Germans to stem
the tide Of the allies advance fail
general retreat probably will be or
dered either to the territory between
the forest of Argonne and the Mouse
or upon German soil, where the kali
ser's armies may rehabilitate them
selves behind the fortified positions
on line north and south from Metz.
The operations north Of the Aisne
are under direction of the German
crown prince from his headquarters at
Mont Faucon.
The army of the crown prince him
self has suffered defeat in its attack
on the French line between Verdun
and Toul, where the Germans attempt
ed to break through, in order to form
junction with the supporting force
east of the Mouse.
That part of the line above Aisne,
on which the hardest fighting has &C.
Cured, is between the forest of L'Au-
gle and Craonne, IL miles northeast
of Laon.
Here the right wing of Gen. Won
Kluck and a part of the forces of Gen.
Won Buelow, the latter having been
driven back from Rheims, on the Vesle
river toward Bethel, on the Aisne, %
miles northwest of Rheims, are bear
ing the brunt of the attack.

KAISER PROTESTS
AGAINST CRUELTIES

London-The correspondent or the
Daily Mail at Rotterdam has tele-
graphed the text Of the message sent
by Emperor William to President VIII
son under date of September I. II
is as follows:
II consider 1t my duty, sir, to inform
you as the most notable representative
of the principles Of humanity that
after the capture Of the French fort
of Longwy my troops found In that
place thousands Of dumdum bullets,
which had been manufactured In spe-
cial works by the French government.
Such bullets were found not only on
French killed and wounded soldiers
and on French prisoners, but also on
English troops.
Il solemnly protest to you against
the way in which this war Is being
waged by our opponents, whose meth
DDS are making 1t one of the most
barbarous in history. Besides the use
Of these awful weapons the Belgian
government has openly melted the
civil population to participate in the
fighting and has for long time care
fully organized their resistance. The
cruelties practiced in this guerrilla
warfare, even by women and priests,
toward wounded soldiers and doctors
and hospital nurses-phyeicians were
killed and lazarettos fred on-were
such that eventually my generals were
compelled to adopt the strongest meas
ures to punish the guilty and brighten
the bloodthirsty population from con-
tinuing their shameful deeds.
Some villages and even the old
town of Louvain, with the exception
of it's beautiful town hall (Hotel de
Ville), had to be destroyed for the pro-
lection of my troops.
my heart bleeds when / see such
measures inevitable and when l think
of the many innocent people who have
lost their houses and property as a
result of the misdeeds Of the guilty.
