ROTTERDAM, Sept. 1.-THE report
of a German war correspondent with
headquarters in the field, received
here from Berlin, says that the Ger
man right wing was compelled to fall
back from Paris becouse weakened by
the French heavy artillery Despite
this, they captured guns and prisoners.
The correspondent claims the German
center is more than holding its own
and that Upper Alsace is entirely
cleared of allies.
The report says: Toward the end
of August the French endeavOred to
arrest the advance of the German
troops through Belgium by attacking
their forces at Epernay on the Ger
man left wing at Metz and Saarburg.
In these attacks the losses of the
French and British were very heavy.
The German right wing, composed of
three corps, then attempted to out
flank the allies by movement to the
left of Amiens, which movement was

on Paris.
Since September there have been
heavy engagements in many places.
The attack on the Germans from the
direction of Paris over the town of
Crecy, department of Aisne, was sue
cessfully Withstood by Field Marshal
Won Kluck. On the following days the
attacks were renewed, this time with
the support of the heavy French ar
tillery. At the same time the French
made an attack from MeauX and
Montmirail. The result of this was to
weaken the German right wing of
three corps, which fell back. breaking,
however, the French onslaught and
taking fifty guns and four thousand
prisoners"
A dispatch from Berlin says the
German general staff announced on
Sunday the plan of campaign in
the western theater of war, of which
no details had been made known, and
had led to a new engagement which
so far is favorable to the Germans.
