Prince
Under Burden
Of Arn1y's Fate

London, Sept. 15.-For once the mil
the campaign in the western territory
depends on the result Of the crown
princes army at Verdun, but the diver
gence OF opinion on results is as wide
as ever. Berlin maintains that the in
vestment OF Verdun is now complete
and therefore expects that in two OF
three days there will be a resumption
of the offensive. On the other hand
the latest official communication is
sued on behalf of the allies states that
the crown prince has been driven back
and has moved his headquarters from
Seine Menehould, south of Rheims, to
Mont E'aucion, about fifteen miles
northeast.
The crown princes move seems to
imply the approaching relief of that
French fortress, which his army has
been besieging for week past. How
ever, no news OF the actual situation
there has yet come thru. nor has there
been official continuation OF the fall
Of Manbeuge forthcoming from French
sources.
Berlin admits that the weakened
German right wing has been turned

feet on the general forward movement

The very candid statement of Cen
eral Joffrc regarding the sort of war
fare his troops are capable of waging.
indicates that the French are now in
a position to take up the gage of bat
tie on their own terms and in a
country of their own choosing. General
Joffre is now Il national hero after
conducting the great retreat that
caused him to be called many hard
names. He declares that the strict
discipline of the German soldier made
him an Ideal instrument for crush
ing onslaught from superior numbers,
whilk the French soldiers without ade-
quate fortified bases and N 4 general

extended order under which they make
the best showing.

Facts Concerning Situation.
Berlin, via Copenhagen and London
Sept. 15-Another day bas passed with
out news of the great battle near
Paris, concerning which no reports or
details have been available since a
week ago.
The general staff In response to a
query characterized the general situa-
ton as favorable refralned from
any comment whatever over the course
of events since the first days of the
English and French attacks and the
withdrawal Of the German right wing
on Sept. 6.
A report which was in circulation in
parliamentary circles last night that
operations had already resulted in a
great victory found no confirmation. On
tie can still last some time.
Dispatch Censored.
The Belgian army, which is quite
surrounded. according to statements
here has been attempting thru repeat
ed sorties from Antwerp to play at
least a part In the war. (The censor
has here depleted further references to
operations around Antwerp)
RepOFLS come or SmaH battles with
scattered French forces in southern
Alsace near Gebweiler and Sulz, but
with the exception Of these there is no
news from the west.
The Germans presumably are push
ing reinforcements forward and the
announcement that their armies with
a united front have resumed the Of
fensive may perhaps be expected in
two or three days.
Much probably depends upon the
rapidfty with which the army under the
crown prince completes the occupa ton
Of Verdin and shake itself loose from
this obstacle in order to be able to
resume major operations.
Say French Were Defeated.
The German general staff today gave
out the following announcement:
Tn the western theater of war the
right wing Of our army has been en-
gagged IN heavy but undecisive battles.
The French who endeavored to break
thru our line were defeated
AT other points where there has
been fighting no decisive result has
been reached.
