Three Million
Troops Fight on
French Frontier
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


London, september To-day, on the
eve Of the anniversary Of the capitula-
ton OF Sedan, 5000, 900 troops are battl-
ing on the French frontier, the Germans
in d heddlOng effort to celebrate the day
with dramatic success; the French,
backed by their British allies to avenge
their defeat "A years ago.
That the Germans have gained ground
French left wing is admitted by the
French foreign office, but it is asserted
also that after three day Of battle in this
region the Anglo-French line, although
pushed back, still remains unbrolen.
This is described as the "wea ring
down policy ON the part of the allied
armies and it is claimed that the losses
of the attacking forces have been enor-
mously greater than have those of the
defenders
French reports alone are available thus
far and nothing is reaching the public in
London to enable even admitted experts
to form an opinion of their real value.
The heaviest lighting appears to be
taking place along a line from PerrOnue,
in the department of Somme to Vevins.
in the department Of Aisne. There the
flower of the Emperor William MS army
is trying to pierce the British defense
Further to the east the forces of the
German Crown Prince still attacking
the region about Mezieres the capital
Of the department of Ardennes.
The only points where the French
claim to have gained positive successes
are in the NOsges mountains and in
Lorraine. where tile Germans are said to
he In retreat.
That statement that Emperor William
has gone 10 the Russian front cannot
Vet be confirmed.
Independent views of the fierce fight
ing now going on in East Prussia and in
GalaCia are entirely lacking, so it IS
case of one taking his choice between
the German, Austrian and Russian YER
sions of the battles.
