(By Werner)
(By International News Service)

Berlin, Sept. 9.-The French fort
ress of Maubeuge has fallen, accord
ing to an official announcement here

the Germans for more than two weeks
and during most of that time it has
been heavily bombarded.

Paris, Sept. "a sudden panic
seized Paris today and many persons
who had announced their intention of
remaining here have fled.
This feeling of panic was increased
when United States Ambassador Her
rick ordered all Americans to leave the
city at once, no matter whether resi-
dents or merely visitors.
The exodus to the south grew in
volume today and so great were the
masses of fugitives moving along the
road to Touraine that traffic along
the way has moved at snairs pace.
In the mighty jam of persons of every
rank, conveyances of every descrip-
ton from luxuriously upholstered
limousines to donkey carts are seen.
Many fine automobiles have been
abandoned along the roadside becaus ,
of scarcity Of fuel.
The center is now at the crucial
stage in the 160-mile battle line, along
which fighting is progressing today
with unabated vigor. The German
right, which was forced back more
than ten miles yesterday, is making
& desperate effort to retain its posi-
tion along the Ourqc river and pre-
vent being cut off from the columns
making up the center.
Along the center both allies and
Germans have massed heavy bodies of
men and, though the battle there has
been raging furiously, the outcome is
still in doubt.
An official statement by the French
war office at midnight indicated that
fighting along the entire line was then
furious. In part, it says:
"The right wing of the Germans,
in their movement of retreat, crossed
the Petit NORM river, with view to
protecting their communications. They
made violent but unsuccessful attacks
against that part of our forces oc-
cupying the right bank of the Oruqc.
"The English continue the offensiev
in the direction of the Marne and on
the heights north of Secanne.
"Our troops are progressing fa-
vorably, though laboriously.
"A severe engagement was fought
in the center, with alternate advanc-
irg and falling back"
