NEW ARMY FOR Won KLUcK.

NEW ARMY FOX Won kLUCN'
London.-Forces of the allied ar
mics swept past Noyon in the move
ment to encircle General Alexander
Won KIuck's troops and the French
have driven back to Laon the Ger
mans northwest Of Rheims.
Aeroplane scouts report that gen.
eral retreat toward the Rhine of the
German armies in France is under
way. Many German troops which
started from Belgium to reinforce the
firing line in France have been driven
back to a rendezvous at Brussels,
where it is reported 100000 Germans
have gathered.
The fianking movement left General
Won Kluck in an extremely dangerous
position. The Saxon army commanded
by General Won Hansen has been brok-
en- up and that officer is in disgrace.
French advance guards are in touch
with the enemy as far as st. Quentin.
The Allies now hold all of the i'm
portant strategic positions in the Noy-
on-Compeigne Vic triangle, except the
heights on the River Disc.
Laon, where the German line has
been broken by the French, is the key
to the roads commanding the Ger
mans direct retreat to the Rhine.
through Luxemburg. Maintenance of
their present positions by the French
will leave the Germans no avenue of
retirement, except through Belgium.
Two hundred thousand German
troops have resumed a serious often
sive movement against Antwerp. Bel
gian troops have made a successful
raid within twenty-five miles of Liege.
The Express" correspondent says
the bombardment of Rheims q began
from German batteries posted six
miles north Of the city. The first shots
shattered the windows of the cathe-
dral, which was flying the Red Cross
flag, as 500 wounded German prisoners
were in its chancel. OF these $50 suf-
fered wounds during the lombard
ment.
Four hundred inhabitants Of the
town were killed during the lombard
ment All historic buildings near the
cathedral have been destroyed, and
much Of the town. The population is
flying to the southwest.
Debris and crumbling walls are all
that is left of the thirteenth century
cathedral, the most remarkable ex-
ample that was left of early Gothic
architecture.
In addition to the cathedral the mu-
scum, the hospitals and the city hall
were destroyed.
In spite of the bombarment and their
repeated attacks upon it the Germans
have been unable to take Rheims.
Dispatches indicate both Germans
and Allies occupy strong intrenched
positions, and in many cases oppos-
ing gunners are holding new forti-
fed positions. Desperate charges
have been repeatedly attempted by
both sides without any decisive re-
suit.

Berlin announces through Count Won
5ernstorff that no move for peace
has been made at Washington, and
that no offer Of separate terms has

pf0gress IN taking fortlhed places and
keeping the enemy tirelessly on the
move. The town of Jaroslaw was de-
vastated by fire and the Russians
have begun the bombardment Of the
fortress of Jaroslaw with heavy siege
guns.
The fortress of Przemysl has opened
fire with it's heavy guns upon the Rus
SLAMS. The investment Of this for
tress, Austria's principal stronghold,
has begun. From Lvoff (Lemburg) to
Cracow is $50 miles, one-half of which
has been covered by the Russians.
Between Jaroslaw and Przemsyl the
retreating enemy destroyed the
bridges across the San River. ia
roslaw stands twenty miles down
stream from Prsemysl. Thirty miles
above, Austria's strongest fortress,
Sambor, another important strategic
point, has likewise been seized by
the Russians.
Sixty miles northwest of Jaroslaw,
in another part Of this titanic battle
field, the Russians have taken San
domir, which was fortified in their re-
treat by the Germans.
The whole of the enormous area Of
this great struggle is now represented
as a waste through which bodies of
soldiery from the broken Austrian ar
mics are wandering in groups and
singly, seeking only to yield them
selves prisoners. The Russian pursuit
is still proceeding vigorously.

The fight does not consist of one
sustained and continued movement,
but of several combats proceeding in
cessantly at the strongest points Of
the Germans defending line along the
river Aisne.
The most impressive reports Of the
battle of many days, SO evenly ball
anced, are that it is a combat Of
artillery. Day and night thousands
of German cannon hammer at the
to gain ground, but only at dreadful
cost. The fighting at Reims between
infantry and cavalry followed three
days of incessant artillery dueling.
The Germans, believing they could
break the French centre by a counter
assault, essayed three times to reoc-
cupy Reims and were each time hurl-
ed back.

WARS DEVELOPMENTS.

Allies, according to
the last communique, have gained
an advantage along the battle front
from Rheims to the Argonne ridge.
The French report the capture OF
Argonne and also Of the heights OF
Lassigne, west of Noyon and on the
right of the German line. There
were severe engagements east q
the Oise and north Of the Adsne.
Along this part of the line the Ger
mans displayed renewed activity,
and many attacks resulted in bayo-
net charges. Ambassador Jusser-
rand fled a protest with acting
Secretary Of State Lansing at
washington against the destruction
of the cathedral of Rheims, and
President Poincare directed for
NAL protest to be made to all neu-
trail Powers against the destruction
for the bombardment Of Rheims.
GERMANY.--A report from Berlin
says that the army under the COM
mand OF the Crown Prince Is at
tacking the forts at Vedun. An Of
fetal statement said that the Ger
man attack against British and
French troops has progressed and
that the Germans have gone for
ward at several points. The state
ment also reiterates previous ex-
pressions Of regret at the necessity
for the bombardment Of Reims.
Russian cavalry cap
tured the town of Dubiecko on the
San River, took several hundred
prisoners, several batteries of
artillery and wagon loads of sup
plies. This point is thirty miles
west of Przemysl and marks the
furthest advance of the Russian
centre against Cracow.
A report from st. Petersburg says
that the Russian army has invested
the whole fortified line from
Przemysl to Jaroslav. Sufficient
Russian troops have been left to
lombard or storm these two for
tresses and the main armies have
swung around the fortified line and
are advancing toward Cracow.
BELGIUM.-The people of Liege have
been told by the Germans to move
out of the town. The Germans are
intrenching many Of the positions
which they held on their advance
and it is believed that these works
are in preparation for the with
drawal of the German forces oper-
ating in France. 1t is officially an

ALLIES RESUME THE OFFENSIVE.

London.-A violent attack by the
main body of the German right, under
Gen. Won Kluck, drove the Allies back
over the Aisne Just below Scissors
and for while it seemed as though
the Kaiser's men, heartened by food
and reinforcements, both of which
they needed badly, would succeed in
piercing the Anglo-French line and
putting the Allies on the defensive.
Fresh troops were hurried to the
Allies weak point, however, and, re-
suming the offensive, they drove the
} Germans back over the river and at
nightfall the position of conflicting
forces below scissors was the same
as before the bloody days work began.
On the Allies extreme left the Ger

MONEY CAUSED
WAR, SAYS GARY
Struggle for Commercial SUI
premacy Behind Conflict
Steel Man Asserts.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 29.-Ex-
pressing only the greatest optimism
as to the business outlook for the
future, and asserting that 1.-THE OPP
portunities for progress and success
in this country are greater tnan ever
before" Ebert H. Gary of the United
states Steel Corporation, and presl-
dent of the American Iron and steel
Institute, addressed the semi-annuaI
meeting of the organization here to-
day.
He reviewed the iron and steel
trade, not only of the United States
but of the world in touching upon
the amicable relations existing be-
tween the business men or various
European nations and those OF the
United States following the meeting
of representatives of the iron and
steel manufacturing industries OF the
world in Europe three years ago In
this connection Gary touched upon
the European war and declared:
without giving reasons in detail
ct the present time | venture the
opinion that the struggle for COM
mereial supremacy was the underly--
ing cause of the war, or at least had
decided influence upon its precipf-
tations, that the questions at issue
are largely relative to dollars and
cents.
And many believe If representa-
tives of the different nations had
previously met in spirit of friendly
and considerable inquiry for the pur-
pose of definitely and finally settling
the financial interests of each all
trouble would have been averted."
If the European war Is maintained
with it's present violence for eighteen
months the loss of life will be 4,000,-
900 and the property loss SS5,OOO,O OO,-
600, he said.
As to the final result of the con-
fIict, Gary declared that although 1t
might appear to be a paradox, the
nation that wins will surely lose"
1.-THE enormous cost" he said, and
the long continued suffering on the
Tart of the survivors will not be fully
covered by any success or glory or in
6emnity. Before now every partici-
pant must realize that 1t would have
heen better to have settled, if posi-
BILE, all existing differences. real or
imaginary, on basis of some COM
petent and impartial tribunal"

Ridder Calls Britain
"ROtten With SeditiOn''

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.--Herman Rid
der in the Staats-Zeitung this morn
Ing speaks of the revolt in South
Africa as showing that. despite CEN
sored reports reaching here from
England, the British Empire is rot
ten with sedition." He quotes an ar
ticle in Irish Freedom of this month
purporting TO describe a meeting held
in Dublin behind massed British
forces" for recruiting new soldiers.
which, despite John Redmond's pres
ence, evoked merely popular discon-
tent and disapproval Mr. Ridder
says:
1.-THE reports from South Africa can
not be consoling to England. They
are illuminating To the rest of the
world, however. The Wanted unity
of the British Empire has been shown
to be nothing more than the outgiv-
ings of the English press bureau.
With the exception of her purely Eng
fish colonies, England has received
neither appreciation nor support from
her possessions In this war. From
the Cape to Cairo, and as far east
as India, her conduct has been the
subject of protest by her subjects.
s'It has taken the combined efforts
of the spellbinders of all England
to put even corporars guard on
the continent. The recruiting office
has called upon the highest and the
lowest in the government for their
oratorical support. And so, Mr.. AS
auth, Lloyd George, and even Sir
Edward Grey, have laid aside their
togas and have come out frankly as
recruiting sergeants.
.'The British Empire is rotten with
sedition and with sedition bred of this
war. The stories of loyalty which
England supplies to us are mere fab
relations. We are not getting the
truth" ...s -,.t-
