owing. to rapidly growing internal
troubles
Paris, Sept. 10.-German rein
forcements have arrived at the Ger
man center and right and the Kais-
er's forces are making: desperate
effort to recover lost ground over a
stretch of fifty miles between Vitry-
le-Francois and Montmirail. The
fighting is unusually severe, but

a dozen German Maxim guns were
captured, German battery field guns
and a number of German prisoners.

successes are continued" General
Gal!ieni, military governor Of Paris,
declared that in his opinion the Paris
defense army can safely be pushed
forward to aid the British-French col

For the first time since the war be-

outnumbered. General Paul Pau.
who is now in command of the French
center, has at least $4,000 men more
than are facing him.
The French left, which has inflict-

ports from the front that there are
thousands of dead and wounded Ger
mans in the territory now occupied
by the allies.

one supreme effort to break the allied
