Desperate Fighting Continues
All Along the Franco

Creates Fear That Germans
Have Prevailed and VIII
Invest City Again
On VIM. Philip Sims.l

Paris, Aug. 27.-Desperate
fighting still ragged today along
the Franco Belgian frontier.
There were places where the
Germans had forced their way
25 miles across the boundary.
The war office withheld its
usual noon announcement.
It's last statement was at mid
night when it admitted that a
part of the allies line had been
repulsed by the Germans.
There was no confirmation of
reports that the French and
British had evacuated important
frontier centers.
The chief danger was thought
to be from the north, where the
I Germans were combining q
crushing forward with an ex-
ltensive flanking movement.
The war office experts in
sisted, however, that provision
had been made to meet o develop
ment of this kind.
President Poincare held o long
conference with the new cabinet.
To Entrench City.
The cabinet session over, War
Minister Millerand consulted
with his chiefs of division and
decided to make Paris a perfect
!, ly entrenched camp.
This, he said, was merely a
precautionary measure, the es-
sential situation at the front re-
naming unchanged. Wednes-
days events at the front and the
} necessity the allies we're under
to take new positions, he ex-
: planned, had not modified ar
5 rangements for future oper-
] ations.

FRANCES FATE DEPENDS UPON RUSSIA

these Notifications were more strongly
manned than reports here indicated, ex-
perts believed they would not delay
the invaders long.
The Austrians claimed some victories
against the Russian soldiers, but these
were not considered very significant
since the cars activities in quarters
have just begun.
Summing up the situation, it was be-
lieved here that frances fate depends
largely on the speed with which Rus
sia succeeds in diverting the kaiser'i
attention to the east.
