Therefore, Won Kiuek's, van Hausens
and Won Balow's forces changed their
marching direction away from Paris
toward Verdun and accomplished this
change without being interfered with
by the Allies. This even Paris admits

tho German army is intact to-day.

There lis another reason why the
Germans entering France from Belgium
did not continue on the straight south
ern route toward Paris. II would have
led them to the plain around ChalOns-
Marine. Here the French manpu-
vres take place every year. The French
commanders know this territory as
their own pocket. Every distance IA

trenches are built everywhere, and the

concerning the terrible losses OF
the Germans, il is worthy to note that
according TO report from London the
German casualties up to September II,
dead, wounded and missing, were about
$4,000, while according TO Sir John
French's report the casualties Of the
British up to their defeat at st. Quen-
tin, about September l, were more than
$4,000. What must have been the
losses Of the French, about which no
reports have been published :,
"All the talk about the withdrawal
of troops from France and from East
Prussia is nonsense. Germany has
enough troops in the east to take care
of the Russians, and enough troops to
defeat the French and their allies,
even with the reinforcements the lat
ter arc said TO be getting from Africa,
India, Japan and Russia

GERMANS READY
FOR FINAL BLOW
Retreat" from the Marine
Fine Bit of Strategy,
EX-Ofhcer Says.

Dir. Hugo SchweitZer, a former Ger
man naval officer, now an American
citizen, who returned from Germany
less than two weeks ago, IN state
ment issued yesterday asserts that the
var situation at this time totals up a
distinct advantage in favor OF the Ger
man army. lie went on to say:
~ base my opinion not upon our
published statements, but upon care
ful survey Of the strategical move
ments Of the German army IN the last
two weeks. swallow the sensational
stories from London with gram OF
salt.
For instance. only the DAY before
Yesterday the war correspondents OF
the British press reported that the Ger
mans were in precipitate fight before
the Allies; that General Won kluck and
his army. at least $4,000 men, were
made prisoners; that the Grown Prince
and two of his brothers were killed IN
action: that the Germans, frenzied with
hunger, had eaten up half the horses
Of their. army Where, however, ne
war correspondents get such news IS
The deepest kind Of mystery.
"A day or two ago l noticed the Lon
don crowd conceded that the German
army is intact, that it has 'retreated'
TO very strong position, which 1t now
occupies on the heights of Laon and
Rheims. with its right protected by
the Disc and the Aisne at Noyon. In
other words, the inference is justified
that there was no battle of the Marine
and that the widely heralded biggest
carnage in history was fought only N
The imagination Of the correspondents
Of the London papers. =,
"As a matter Of fact, the so-calied
battle of the Marine was but new
lineup Of the Germans. This new
ine-up was undertaken to deliver the
final blow to the Allies To make this
blow decisive il was necessary for the
Germans to combine all the forces
v5sch they had in Northern France and
BELGIUM ard on the Eastern French
frontier. The armies which had made
their victorious entry into Belgium
and gloriously routed the Allies, as
wildly described in Sir John French's
report to his government, had TO move
in order to combine with the armies OF
Metz and Strassburg, which had so far
seen little action. This moving was IN
10 sense a retreat compelled by the
enemy.
1.-TWO points must be considered IN
this concentration movement. The en-
try Of the eastern armies from Metz
End n assburg is hindered by the I'M
rnenseIy strong fortihcations between
Verduu and Toul, u would take some
time to render these forts harmless,
and this delay would prevent the rapid

GERMAN POWDER
POOR, SAYS WRITER
Critic Explains
Bad Workmanship At
tributed to TeutOnS.

What appears to be logical and
reasonable explanation Of the poor
craftsmanship attributed to the in
fantry of the German army is the sub
icct of an article in a recent issue OF
"The Field" The writer asserts that
the fault does not lie either with the
man or the rifle, but with the ammu-
milton. which, he says, is deficient in
two vital particulars.
Calling attention to the iact thas
the German service propellant Is Of
the nitro-cellulose order, he says:
an remarkably short space of time
the explosive undergoeS acid decom-
position, whereby shooting quality de-
teriorates, as many spOrtsmen IN not
countries have learned to their cost.
So marked are the decomposition ten
denotes of nitrO-cellulose powders
that small quantities put aside IN
specimen tubes develop in about a
couple of years the characteristic
smell Of nitric acid. When the decom-
position proceeds in the cartridge case
the brass is attacked, becomes rotten
and exhibits the green dlscoloratlOn
termed in domestic circles verdlGris.
In due course the mouth Of the case
splits, assisted, no doubt, by the
wedging actisn Of the tightly gripped
bullet"
Continuing, the writer says: "This
brings us to the second cause Of de-
terioration. The German practice IN
regard to the fixing of the bullet into
the mouth of the case differs from
that commonly adopted in this coun-
try. The most usual foreign practice
is to form the mouth of the case some
points smaller than the bullet, so as to
insure tight fit. The better plan, as
adopted BY the British service cart
ridge, is {, lock the bullet into place
by stabbing the brass into "a groove
formed around the bullet.
German and Austrian cartridges
show large proportion Of split
mouths after a comparatively short
period Of storage. This splitting APP
parently occurs quite independently
of deterioration of powder, though the
latter is an aggravation when acting
simultaneously.
"War differs from other human en-
! terprises," says the writer, ain the
fact that practical experience comes
/ the way of only a small proportion
of those making preparations. Some
link in the complicated chain OF
necessary arrangements may prove ia
/ be lacking at the last moment. Apply
ing the general argument to the spe.
| cial circumstances under considera'
ton, there may be something in the
theory that the German army is doing
futile best with bad ammunition.
1.-TWO things are certain: First, thai
German ammunition will not keep, and
second that English ammunition
will keep, even unto the third and
fourth generations, as samples brought
home from the South African war elo,
quently show to-day"

U. S. MAY RECOVER
REFUGEES BAGGAGE
Talk of Sending Transport
to Europe to Secure
Lost Property.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Sept. l9.-Now that the
work of getting the thousands Of Amer
leans out of the war zone has been
practically completed, Department Of
State officials are turning their atten-
ton to the task of recovering the bag
gage and other belongings left in Eu-
rope by the refugees.
Il is estimated that Americans left
many hundred thousand dollars worth
Of property IN Europe, as comparative
~ few were able to bring their trunks
and other luggage when they returned:
The State Department is being deluged
with letters from Americans who wan:
TO recover property they left abroad.
Reports to the State Department are
that hundreds of trunks, suitcases and
handbags are piled two stories high in
front OF the cathedra! IN Cologne,
where the trains were held up and the
passengers Invested OF their baggage.
Ii is also reported that there IS large
amount of American baggage in Paris,
IiavTC, London and other European
cities.
Officials are ondeavoring to foTmu-
late plans 20 bring the baggage TO
America. and it is barely possible that
a transport will be sent 20 Europe fer
that purpose. Many Americans who
lost their automobiles have also made
injuries about the possibility of their
recovering them or their value in cash.
The records Of the State Department
show that inquiries were made about
more than torty-one thousand Ameri-
cans who were in Europe at the out
break of the war. The names nave
been indexed and are now being
checked up with the reports from the
consuls.
American refugees from war stricken
countries in Europe will ind ships from
England TO the United States crowded
Until near the close of October, accord
ing TO State Department advices to-day.
Hundreds of Americans still are gath
cred in Holland. and thousands more
arc en- route from Austria. Germany
and Switzerland 20 England. Nearly
four hundred sailed from Rome for
New York Thursday on the steamer
Tomasso d Savoia, and other sailings
scheduled for the month will take care
of all Americans now IN Italy who wish
to return.

were discharged because of age limit,
the same number left to be married and
now have homes of their own, and two
were transferred to other institutions.

NEGROES MAY MIX
Heavings! If Mrs. Potter Palmer
and the rest of the Lake Shore drive
bunch succeed in bringing enough
pressure to bear on the City Council
to close up Stone street, between
Goethe and Banks streets, they may
have negroes as neighbors.
Yesterday the Committon on
Streets and Alleys recommended
obeying Mrs. Palmer's wishes in the
matter, and said the Council should
close the street.
But there's spunky young wom-
an, Miss Louise Kurth, whose mother
owns a house on Stone street, just
south of the part Mrs. Palmer wants
vacated. Miss Kurth is fighting Mrs.
Palmer. And she has an ace up her
sleeve.
eff they close up Stone street, it
will, of course, decrease the value of
my property, and I'll have to rent to
negroes" she said, land naturally I
will rent to negroes"
'"They say they don't believe I'll
carry out my threat. They'll know

Palmers, Honores, Dave Forgan, Jr.,
Frank Logan and about 20 others.

groes any worse than well-behaved
