Washington, Sept. 1.-THE follow

French embassy:
THE French general staff made
known today that the First German
army continues its retirement. Three
of its army corps were repulsej last
night between villiers, Collertes and
Soissons. We have in four days gain

AnxiousIy Awaiting News

London, Sept. 12.-News of decisive
character from east of Vitry lie Fran
co.'s, where the army of Saxony and
parts of the armies commanded by
the Prince of Wurtemberg and Cen
erall Won Buelow are fiercely striving
to break through the French right and
center, still hangs fire and the ankle
ty of both forces grows keener as it
is recognized that the result of the
battle in this quarter is likely to have
a decisive effect on the whole line.
Should the Germans smash through
the center of the French line in this
district, they would turn the line of
French frontier forts and seriously en-
danger the rear of General Castleman's
Sixth army corps, already engaged up
to the hilt with corresponding host
Of Germans before Nancy.
Battle Not Won
It is fully realized here that the
driving back of the German right wing
and right center in no way is conclu-
sive and that as the French-BritisSl
forces rallied after their long retreat,
so may the Germans turn and re-
treve their present reverses.
The public is warned that the pres
ent situation merely is the first phase
OF a great battle and that the battle
itself is only the first stage Of tt
tanic struggle between the nations,
which will continue so long as the
main armies remain intact as they are
at present.
The latest unofficial reports from
the plains of Champagne tell OF con-
ssdrebaly larger number of German
guns and prisoners being captured
than we're mentioned in the last of
fetal communication.
Belgian official reports speak of a
rcut of the Germans by troops NOV

CATION PLANS
WHAT TO DO WITH PROJECT
TRUSTEES SAY 1T is A PROBLEM.
BUT THEY HOPE TO SOLVE
1T SOON

At meeting of the Las Vegas grant
board this morning, the proposition for
the completion of the irrigation pro
BeoC lor the lands north Of Las vega
discussed informally at the last meet
ing of the board and outlined in The
Optic recently, was presented by S
B. Davis, Jr, representing a portion
of the privately owned lands. A gen
, eral discussion was entered into by
the boadr and Charles A. Spiess. its
special counsel, and Mr.. Davis.
The plan called for the merging OF
the privately owned lands, the inter
ests of the Camfield Development com
pany and the grant board in one par
ent corporation, each of the three ele
ments to receive a consideration in
stock in the new company for their
holdings. The attitude of the board
was that, though it was anxious that
something should be done to complete
the project, it would be averse to
putting its name to any scheme that
would take the control of its lands
arr water rights out of its own hands;
that by uniting with the other two
elements it would lose representation
IN the administration of the affairs
of the corporation, and that in the
event of failure on the part of the cor
ration to build the reservoir and com.
plete the system, having vested title
to its lands in company that would
thereby fail, it would lose lands, in
terests, water rights and all assets
except a bundle of stock that would
have become automatically valueless.
Also the lands given by the Garfield
company would be released
Charles A. Spiess expressed the
opinion that the board would be able
to win It's suit for the recovery of the
water rights against the Camfield
company in court, and that at the ex-
piration of the option the board holds
on the claims of the Camfield com
pany the board would be awarded
100000 on the bond of the company.
The board adjourned after having
SET 10 O'Clock Tuesday morning, Sep
tember 10, as the time for further
discussion of the proposition, and in
vited the public to attend the meeting
to present any suggestions that may
tend to solve the problem.

Censorship was Complete
The admirable discipline of the cen
scrship was revealed by yesterdays
communication, which showed that the
cnly ones outside of the military au-
thorities who knew of the whereabouts
OF The French forces at the beginning
of the great battle were the Germans.
The latter learned of it none too soon,
and their diversion from the route to
Paris, heretofore attributed to fear of
the Paris defense works, was simply
a clever maneuver to escape a desper-
ate situation.
The Germans penetrated France IN
three columns and the force consisted
of five armies and at least 100000
men, The plan evidently was for a
quick. direct attack on Paris by Gen.
eral Won Kluck, while the armies of
General Won Buelow. the Princes of
Mrrtemberg and Saxony and the
crown prince dealt with the other
armies of the allies.
The audacious commander Of the
German right wing, surprised by the
resistance of the allies at Guise and
Compiegne, was cautious and must
have discovered the presence of the
army Of Paris on his flank. He show
ed his resourcefulness by sharp en-
counter movement against this pro-
tecting force. The critics gave Won
ENuck full credit for skill as we'll
as hardihood and referring to General
Joffre's plans, say it is match be-
tween masters in the art of war.
General Joffre failed, they believe,
by the narrowest margin in gaining
one of the most brilliant victories
in history. It is thought that this
looping of the loop adds immensely
to the dangers of Won Klucks army

tracks, necessary must. lose courage,

it is argued, as well as strength, and
have to count not only with the ex-
trordinary endurance of the allies, but
with the constant danger from the fly
ing column of the comparatively fresh
army of Paris.
