PROGRESS OF WAR
AS TOLD BY THE
LATE DISPATCHES
French War Office Claims Impor-
tant Victory Over Germans
Advancing on Paris.
SAY FOE is IN RETREAT

French Fortress of Maubeuge Is
Claimed by Germany-Russians Con-
tinue to Advance in Galicia-Pope
Working for Peace.

The allied armies in France, accord
ing to advices received from London
Thursday, delivered a crushing blow
to the German right flank, which was
hurled twenty-five miles back across
the Marine; French troops resumed the
offensive in Alsace and sent the weak
ened German forces backward toward
the Rhine; other French soldiers reoc-
cupied Luneville and forced the Ger
mans back to the Lorraine border, and
the army that threatened Paris was in
full retreat toward the frontier, with
the British in pursuit.
German official statements claimed
that the kaiser's army has captured
the French fortress of Maubeuge and
10000 men. This assertion was de-
MED by the French, who declare the
fortress held out and was grave peril
to the German lines Of communication.
Situation at Luneville.
The evacuation of Luneville, which
was announced by French newspapers,
followed an assault by the Germans on
the French position opposite. This
attack was repulsed. An official COM
munique from Bordeaux stated that
the French were advancing in Lor-
raine
The Germans in this district had
been directed by the crown prince in
person and later by the kaiser.
The fighting in Alsace, according to
1f
been in the neighborhood of Altkirch,
where the French resumed their often
sive movement on September g. The
Germans, according to this newspaper,
are in retreat toward the Rhine
An earlier report than this, coming
from Basel. Switzerland, was that the
Germans were evacuating Upper AL
SAGE in order to concentrate their
troops on the eastern border to COM
bat the Russian advance.
The Germans also were said to have
evacuated Amiens, and the German
commander of the left wing was said
to be directing his retreat with the
evident intention of repassing the Bel
gian border east of Lille.
Russians Advance in Galicia.
A Petrograd report to the Messagero
OF Rome stated that a battle near
Rawa between Russian and Austrian
armies resulted in an overwhelming
victory for the cars troops after four
days Of bloody fighting. 1t said that
| large numbers of German soldiers who
were fighting with the Austrians were
| prisoners.
| As a result of their victory, says the
| dispatch, the Russians are masters of
| northern Galicia, the Austrians retir-
| Ing everywhere and evacuating Rus
sian Poland. This will clear the way
| for the Russian advance on Germany
| through Galicia.

Kind, SAYS Dying German.

Paris.-The American embassy here
is daily in receipt of letters written by
dying soldiers, forwarded to 1t by the
French government for transmission
to Germany.
One is from a German aviator, who
had fallen into the hands Of the
French. The man wrote:
"Good-by dear father and mother;
my leg has been crushed The French
officers are very kind"
A postscript to this letter, added by
a French officer, reads:
cat this point the brave fellow died;
please forward this to his parents.

where transports were waiting to con-
vey them to Ostend.
Every precaution was taken by the
military authorities to keep the trans
portation of the foreign soldiers
through England from becoming
known, and the service on the east
coast railway lines was suspended dur
ing the II hours the troop trains were
on the journey.
1t was believed that the Russians
would be joined at Oetend by 1000
British marines, who were waiting
there to receive them.

There was much anxiety as to the

The submarine actually had pene-
trated into the harbor of Bremen
haven, where it fired two torpedoes at
the kaiser's fleet.
In the midst of the excitement the
submarine went to sleep" on the
bottom Of the harbor For hours the
ship and crew remained there while
with nets the harbor was trawled, but
all the "sweepers" passed over it.
AS soon as he considered it safe
the commander of the little craft gave
orders to proceed to the British base.

said. "And the vast majority earn

that was highly uncomplimentary to
