Paris, Sept. 3.-The allies are en-.
gagged along a line which extends
from Montidier to the forest OF Com
piegne. The heaviest fighting is re-
ported around Montidier A German
cavalry corps encountered a British
force near the forest Of Compiegne,
and in the resulting engagement are
said to have lost ten guns. Another
German cavalry body reached the lit
tie town Of Anizy-le-Chateau. These
points are about forty miles from the
Paris Notifications. The French are
reported to he holding the Germans
in check at Rethel and also on the
Meuse. They are said to be making
some advance against the Germans in
Lorraine, extending their line along
the Sanon river.
II is reported that the Germans in
making their advance towards Paris
have lost enormously in the last FIVE
days.
Both Ambassadors Herrick and
Sharp say they will remain in Paris
even II the capital is removed else
where.
The war office issued the following
summary Of the situation: 'In the
north there are no signs of hostile
troops at Arras, Lille, Bethune, Douai
and Lens. Parts of several German
army corps in Belgium are moving
eastward into Germany. In Lorraine.
our advance continues on the right
bank Of the Sanon. In upper Alsace
the Germans appear to have left. Be-
fore Belfort there is only a thin cur
tain of troops. Another German cav
airy corps has pushed on as far as
the line from Soissons to Anizy-Le-
Chateau. In the region Of Rethel and
of the Meuse the enemy is inactive.
A German cavalry corps marching to-
ward the forest Of Compiegne, on the
left wing of the allies forces, engaged
the French Sept. 2. The English cap
tured ten guns"
The allies lines have been strongly
reinforced and reserve forces have
also been stationed behind the British
and French troops in the positions
they have assumed to halt the Ger
man advance.
The Germans are reported to be
strongly fortifying Brussels, evidently
fearing an uprising Of the people.
They have issued an order that in
case of any effort to resist the Ger
man authorities they will train their
guns upon the city.
Antwerp is being prepared for
state of siege and the military COVER
nor has ordered all people who have
not been domiciled there a month to
leave. A dispatch received at Rot
terdam from Berlin says that the
siege OF Antwerp will begin immedi-
ateiy. It is believed that this is an
effort to drag Holland into the war,
as the English will be compelled to
take part In the defense of the city.

German Troops Moving Toward the
New Belgian Capital.

Ostend, Sept "A great move
ment Of German troops is occurring
from Brussels towards Lerre, north
east of Malines. Gemans also are en-
countered west of Brussels, at Schep.
dael and Assehe, and are proceeding
probably toward Termonde and Saint
Nicholas. This would seem to point
to the investment or bombardment of
Antwerp In the near future.
The military governor has issued
proclamation ordering all who were
not domiclled in Antwerp before Au-
gust to leave at once All disobeying
the order will be treated as suspects
and will be tried by courtmartlal.
The object of the order is to get rid
of the refugees, whose feeding would
be a serious tax on the city.
