GENERAL JOFFRE
HOLDING AT BAY

1tEEAA,oo0-

Paris, Sept. S.-The leading military
authorities of the city are convinced
that General Joffre, commander in :
chief of the French forces, Is at last
holding at bay the vast German army
of invasion.
The WORKOUT troops of Emperor Will
ham, who may constitute an army to-
falling 10000 men, are today encoun-
tering the relatively fresh soldiers of
the French and British armies on the
German selected by the allies, and in
positions within easy reach of supplies
and reinforcements.
Germans are in q hostile country and
at distances relatively great from the
home bases. The invaders today are
probably at their greatest strength,
while the defenders of France, espe-
cially the British contingent, are being
augmented steadily.
The Germans are reported In Paris
unofficially to have asked for an ar
mistice to bury their dead and care
for their wounded. This statement
lacks official confirmation. 1t is fur
Their understood that the allies refused
the request. The action on the east
line has lasted two days. No quick
and decisive outcome is expected. The
results of the encounters of the last
two days are regarded as distinctly
favorable to the allies and there is an
atmosphere of cheerfulness at the
France war Office
