LONDON, sept. 10.
All London Is elated at the news,
received from Dieppe, that General
Won Kluk and $4,000 men have been
cut off from the rest of the German
army and were forced to surrender.
1t is considered certain that the Brit
ish troops under Sir John French par
ticipated in the capture.
The report was doubted at first be-
cause Of the small number of prison
ers, but it is pointed out that the army
of General Won Kluk was on the ex-
treme German right on September and
that it has stood the brunt of the rapid
pursuit by the Anglo French troops In
the last few days Won Kluks troops
have been Fastening up the northern
side of the Alsne River in an effort to
avoid being cut off, and to reach the
armies under General Won Buelow and
General Won Hausen,
During its entire fight it has been

ANTWERP, Sept. Is.


Brussels has been evacuated by tho
German troops.
! Alost has also been Jreed ~ the
Easer's forces and from various other
cities and towns held by the Germans
come reports Of the rapid withdrawal of
the invading forces, who are rushing to
join the main German army, who have
been pushed back to line extending
north of Louvain to Malines.
The 10000 troops which occupied Aiost,
about 20 miles east of Brussels, Joined the
great force which occupied the Belgian
capital, under the command Of General
Won Der Goltz, and the combined army
has taken UP a position in the vicinity
Of Louvain.
The energetic advance of the Belgian
troops WILL in all probability, allow them
to reoccupy Brussels in day or so.
The evacuation OF Brussels and all of
the other towns and cities to the north
and west of the capital was the outcome
of four-day battle, the extent and re-
suit of which was withheld by the Bel
Rium Government until today
The extent of the Belgian victory over
the Germans was so great and its effect
on the fortunes of the Germans in
France so direct, that the campaign here
is entitled to be given consideration as
nearly equal in military Importance to
those in France and on the Russian
German border.
The German army of boys and old men,
on whom was placed the task of guard
ing the German lines of communication
through Belgium, were reinforced by
marines, but they failed to hold the
Belgians.
After four-day battle, in which the
Germans slowly gave ground, they evacu-
ated Brussels. General Won Der Gotz,
the German Military Governor of that
city. issued a proclamation, informing the
people of the evacuation, thanking them
for their peaceful attitude during the
occupation and warning them against
hostile acts against the retreating
Germans.
The Belgian military officials attribute
the German retreat to the necessity of
covering the retreat of their other
armies in France through the Belgian
and German Luxembourg and by way of
Metz.
The German losses in the last four days
are estimated at not less than 10000 killed
and wounded.

Sept. 15
Turkey has finally decided to remain
neutral and will not support Germany,
according to reports current in official
circles here today.
This action was decided on following
straight warning from England that
if Turkey participated in the war it
would be eliminated forever as an indie
pendent nation. The news of Franco
British victories in the recent fighting
was also factor,
1t is stated that in return for her neu-
tralty Turkey will demand that the Pow

given TO the Powers.

latter rendered his sword in token of

because he had been informed that the

was flushed with wrath as he grasped
the sword and, contrary TO all military
custom, broke it over his knee
"I must take your sword, but you

AUSTRIANS NOW CLAIM
VICTORY NEAR LEMBERG
Vienna Asserts Capture of 10000
Russians and Numerous Guns.

NEW YORK, Sept 15-Dr. Fritz Fisch-
erauer, Austrian Consul, today received
the following wireless message from
Count Berchtod, the Austrian Minister
of Foreign Affairs
THE battle al Lemberg was successful.
Our forces, which were placed along and
south of the Grodek road, beat back the
enemy after five days fighting and cap
tured 10000 Russians and numerous guns.
But it was impossible to make full use
of the success because our left wing
near Rawa was endangered by over
whelming Russian forces, not to speak
of new Russian forces marching against
General Dankls army and into the sec
tion between this army and the Lemberg
war theatre.
"On account OF the strength of the
enemy 1t was found necessary to collect
our armies, now fighting heroically with
little rest for three days, into a favorable
position and prepare them for new ac-
ton"

BORDEAUX, Sept, 10.

The French War Office afternoon an
nouncement declares that at no point
have the Germans been able to make
a serious stand against the pursuing
French columns. They are giving bat
tie, chiefly in the nature of rear guard
actions covered by artillery, but it is
plain that the objective of the Ger
mans is TO reorganize their scattered
columns and attempt a defense in the
intrenched lines prepared by the sap
pers north of the Aisne.
Meanwhile, the allies have taken
many prisoners. Entire regiments are
reported to have been cut off from the
main rstreating columns and captured
So swift has been the pursuit Of the
British French forces on the left that
at some points the pursu.Sg column
rushing along paralleling roads, have
been able to reach the crossroads ahead
of the Germans and cut them off and
compel their surrender. The tota.
number of the prisoners has not yet
been reported to headquarters.

Germans have been endeavortng to
smother the verdun forts as, with that
strong point in their hands, they would
control the main line of railway east
and west and would be able greatly to
relieve the pressure at various points

1t is officially stated, however, that
the efforts of the Germans have proven
a failure, and that the main columns
Of the Crown Princes army are now
being forced toward stenay and Lux
emburg.
It is not believed here that another
decisive battle is possible for several
days The Germans are short Of am
munition and they will have difficulty
reforming their exhausted army. Their
rear guard however. is putting up a
strong defense, and it may be able to
withstand the efforts of the allies to
