Berlin Admits French Troops Have Cut
German Communications at
P0nt.a.M 0uss0n
RUSSIANS CLAIM VICTORY
Servian and Montenegrin Forces
Have Defeated Austrians in Bal
kan Mountains

I4ondon-Both the German and
French official reports contain evil
dence that the allies offensive move
ment is beginning to gather impetus
and is meeting with stubborn resist
ance. The French have been particu-
larly active in the Woevre region. AT
several points the Germans have made
counter-attacks, which the French
claim have been repulsed.
German Line Reported Cut
The German report shows that Gen.
eral Joffre's men have reached a point
midway between St. Mihiel and Pont-
a-Mousson, which would indicate that
they had crossed the German line Of
communication. In these operations,
the French lost heavily.
The Germans in Belgium again are
directing their attention to the central
point of Ypres, where the French re-
port several attacks of a violent ma
ture by the German infantry have
been repulsed At both ends of the
long front to the northeast of Ypres
and against the railway stations at
| Aspaeh, in Alsace, the failure of at.
tempts by the Germans to advance is
officially announced from Paris. which
adds that an important advance by the
French troops in the forest of LIE

The occupation of a German position

Germans toward the East Prussian
frontier also is announced.
The Russians claim further victo-
ry on the Lowiez-Ilow 'front.' where a

ENGLAND ANNExES EGYPT
Anelo-French Allies In West Are Re-
ported To Be Still On Offensive
And To Be Gaining Ground

London.-Although there seems no
doubt the Russians are retreating and
that for the present any expectations
the allies may have held of an early
invasion of Germany must be dismiss
ed, considerable mystery surrounds
the reported decisive German victory
which Berlin celebrated.
The allies offensive in the west con-
tinues to progress slowly, according to
the Paris communication, although the
aggregate gains claimed during the
week indicate a considerable advance
in Flanders and in the vicinity of Ar
ras, where the allies seemingly are
making their greatest efforts in the be
lief that penetration of the German
lines would compel a general German
retirement. 1t is still, however, a mat
ter of siege warfare in Belgium and
France. Berlin says many attacks of
the allies are being repulsed with
heavy casualties, which are increased
when the Germans mine trenches
which the allies are compelled to evac-
uate.
In reply to a request from the cor
porations of Hartlepool and West Har-
tlepool to investigate the recent Ger
man raid. the admiralty has replied
that this will not be necessary, as the
government is in possession of all the
| facts.

kingdom has been flooded with pos

Great Britain Annexes Egypt
The British press naturally makes
feature of the annexation of Egypt
and the Sudan, which takes from the
sultan of Turkey 100000 subjects
and 100000 square miles of land.
! This action, however. robs the Turk OF
his last foothold in Africa, Italy having
taken Tripoli from him few years
ago.

Congressman Gray And Wtherspoor
Infer Gardeners Army Hearing Has
An Ulterior Motive

Washington.-Pub hearings be-

Representative Witherspoon of Mis-

abruptly.
Gardner Vigorously Resents
Representative Gardner vigorously
resented what he said was an imputa.

nothing further to say, and the chair.
man declared the hearing ended.
Made Witherspoon Weary
Mr.. Gardner's statements were
based largely on the testimony of the
admirals and others before the commit.

board. The war of words came after
the witness had finished the statement
and submitted to long cross-exami.

Chairman Padgett asked him to
