and Iecateau, it is apparent that the
French have been driven back past
their line of frontier fortresses to a
point 20 miles behind that line.
There is no longer any serious for
titled obstacle between the German
main advance and Paris. Under the
circumstances it is not surprising that
the French ministry has resigned and
reconstructed itself as committee
of public safety
Meanwhile, as il a siege of Paris
was now looming foremost in their
minds, their first step has been to ap-
point general in supreme command
of Paris and it's troops"
No News Reaches London
No news reached London today con-
cerning the trend of events on any
part of the battleline where fighting
is in progress. Interest here is in
tense, for it is felt that engagements
now going on must have a great In
fluence on the fate of Paris. Silence
also stills the progress of events in
east Prussia and Galicia.
Russian Navy Active
Te nmillion Russian soldiers have
been enrolled under the standard OF
Emperor Nicholas, according to staff
officers of the Russian army, who
/ have arrived here from st. Peters
burg. At sea also Russia seems to
be waking up. The sinking of the
German cruiser Madgeburg, reported
Yesterday is hailed here as signifi
cant and as showing that the Russian
navy is no longer bottled up in The
4 Gulf of Finland, as has been reported
British Wounded Brought Home
Virtually all the wounded mel
brought back to England from tn
front will be disembarked at tn
Southampton docks and from ther
, sent to the various hospitals in tn
country. Nearly all the big Londo

Queen Mary that all wounded should
be sent to hospitals in the local area
of the patient is being adopted. For
instance, a man from Kent will be
sent to a Kentish hospital.
Substantial aid is being secured, in
answer to queen Alexandra's appeal
for Red Cross funds by means Of col
lection boxes taken out on the streets
by women workers. One of the most
successful of these workers is little
girl 8 years old, who, dressed as a
Red Cross nurse, obtained two boxes

tremendous Military Movements

Rotterdam, Aug 2S (via London). -
Absolutely no news of any sort re-
garding military operations between
Germany and the forces of the allies
mas been permitted to come from Ger

two days. It is known, however, that
military operations on tremendous
