GERMAN ATTACK REFUSED

According to information received in Paris from. the north, the right wing of the German army is in full retreat. General von Kluck, 1t is said, had of fered to surrender to General Joffre. the French commander, if the Ger mans were permitted to retire to Ger many. He offered to guarantee that none of his men would again take up arms
 Late dispatches to London from Par. is said it was reported there that the German right wing was retreating from its fortified positions between the Aisne and the Somme rivers. It was also reported that the allied ar mics had succeeded in cutting the Ger man line of communication and that part of General von Kluck's army was fn grave danger.
 The reports have not come from of fcial sources.
 In an official statement issued in London the war press bureau confirm ed the report that the British positions are again under severe pressure. Ii was insisted, however, that the Ger mans had made no gains and that al though here and there the French had made progress there was no real change In the situation. The state ment said:
 '1The enemy attacked our lines with even more vigor than at any previous time. They, however, met with no more success than on previous occa- sions.
 There is no change in the general situation. The Germans have gained no ground. The French have advanc- ed here and there." ...-
 The end of the Aisne battle. with complete success for the allies, is de- clared by experts in London to be in sight --. ....--... -.. ...
 French and British forces were vic torious along the entire battle front in the most furious conflicts of the battle of the Aisne, in which bayonet fight. ing replaced the long range artillery duels, according to the official state ment of the French war office -.. 7 French forces have regained the ground lost to the enemy between the Argonne region and the Mouse.
 The statement says that perceptible advances have been made by the allies between the Disc and the Somme and to the north of the Somme and from the Aisne to Rheims.
 One man was killed and a gir! wounded when a German aeroplane dropped bomb into a Paris street. The air invader failed in his main pur. pose, which apparently was to destroy the Eiffel tower and its wireless tele graph station.
 Battle rages in extreme violence at St. Quentin, where the Germans are striving desperately to prevent the cap ture of the town by the allies.
 Capture of St. Quentin. once achiev. ed, is expected to end the battle of the Aisne with decisive victory for the allies through compelling the surrender or immediate flight of the German right wing army, commanded by Gen eral Alexander von Kluck, which there by would lose its line of ~communica tions to Belgium.
 It was learned in London that ad ditional British troops have reached the scene of the fighting in France They are reported to have been landed at Ostend and Boulogne and to be sup ported by a new French army sent north from the mobilization center ir the south.
