And since a large number of
American papers are siding with
Great Britain and France in this
agar l will permit myself to
say that the thought of the
lynehings which occur daily in

DRY of the water cures in the
Philippines should make them
ebary of attacking Turkey in
connection with attacks of saw
agery committed by her under

which the economic competition

ALLIES TURN TABLES ON
GERMANS TROOPS AND ARE
DRIVING Them FROM PARIS

PARIS, Sept. S.-Repeated as
saults by allied French and
British troops have today
thrown back the great Germany
strength to a point within %
miles of this city. Plan for the
abandonment of Paris and sur
render to Germany to prevent
destruction of the city have been
held up and the allies are in high
hopes that the turn of wars for
tunes has been achieved and that
the retirement of the Germans
will continue.
Terrible Losses.
The German forces, which
were commanded by Crown
Prince Frederick William, are
reported to have sustained ter
rible losses, whole divisions dis
appearing and the roadsides for
miles strewn with the dead.
After a campaign of Ave weeks
the German army apparently has
come to the conclusion that
siege of Paris is of no avail If
an intact and unbeaten army lies
outside oft walls. Hence the
Immediate objective seems to pe
to force a fight with the French
armies which shall be decisive
in it's character and then, hav-
ing beaten the enemy soundly,
proceed to the siege of Frances
capital.
France Is Strong.
In the campaign of 1870, after
lapse of six weeks from the
beginning of the war, there was
no army to oppose the siege of
Paris and Fra rec had no allies.
Today not only has France for
midable allies, but her armies
are intact and are not shut up

Fixes German Loss at 100000

rible, so terrible that the EN-
perOr has forbidden their dis
closure. Our generals have been
wantonly wastefu1 with our men,
who have been moved down in
thousands.
while It is impossible TO say
what our losses are, I estimate
them at between $4,000 and
400, goo. II they continue at this
rate we shall be quite unable to
meet Russia with any hope of
success. "
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-09-08

in any fortress. Moreover, the
main French fortress, Maubeuge,
verdun. Toul, Epinal and Bel
fort, are still garrisoned by the
French. Maubeuge is invested
and the French admit three of
their forts are gone. Verdun Is
apparently invested. Toul is
partly invested, but still in
touch with the allied army, while
Epinal and Belfort are not even
menaced.
The German attack by way of
Brussels and Lille, so as to ap-
proach Paris upon its undefend-
ed side, has failed completely.
The German first army, recently
we'll to the west of Paris, is now
to it's east. Every German army
is now to the east of north and
south line drawn through that
city. Yet the spectacular fea-
ture of the war has been the I'M
deviating way in which the Ger
mans carried out their delayed
program of marching through
Brussels to Lille and thence
straight to Paris.
Plan German Trap.
Apparently IL was hoped that
in the wide semicircle thus fluns
out the French army would be
caught between the extreme
right and the extreme left wings
and forced to a battle, which
the allies must lose, after which
the investment of Paris would
have been comparatively easy.
AS this issue could not be forced
a forced march was made across
the north of Paris to the Marine,
where the German right wing
is now conferred on Meaux.
Armies two and three are still
east of this point.
