NEWS OF BIG WAR

pulsed an aerial attack on the forts
by japanese aeroplanes, according 10
dispatches received here today. The
aero2lanes succeeded in dropping sew
elai bombs, one of which damaged the
German wireless plant, but otherwise
no damage was reported.
The German fire was so well d.
aceted that one of the aeroplanes upon

/ London, Sept. 6.-That direct at
tack by the Germans on Paris will
be delayed for a short time is the
belief expressed here tonight follow
ing the announcement that the right
wing of Germany's army has met
with defeat at the hands of tbe
French and British forces.
The French war office statement tc-
night says:
''The advance lines of the allies for
the defense of Paris came into con-
tract yesterday with the right wing
of the Germans, who appeared in q
covering movement in strong force on
cur right, advancing toward the
southeast. A short engagement re-
suited to the advantage of the al
lies.
The army of 1,00G,0G0 assembled
under General Joffre for the defense
of Paris ia taken positions at ad-
vantageous points. 1t is assumed the
engagement announced by the war Of
flee will result in a great battle that
decide the struggle in France.
1t is pointed out that the Germans
have too much at stake to let any
thing except a decisive defeat stop
them in their move on the French
capital. 1t became known tonight thai
the Kaiser has divided his invading
army into four forces. These are
making a turning movement toward
the south rather than rushing forward
to Paris. The first army has reached
La Ferte and Montmiral, the second
has reached Chantilly and continued
south, the third has occupied Rheims
and the fourth has also moved south
ward.
One belief is expressed tonight thai
Germany is pursuing the march to
the south in France in the fear her
armies may be forced into a quick
defensive position. 1t is certain the
general southern movement might cas-
ly be a maneuver to extricate the
army about Paris from threatened at
tack from the northwest.
The reported transferring Of tive
army corps from the west to eastern
Prussia also may have had something
to do with the movements near Paris,
it is pointed out, because without
good back in reserves the allies might
make rapid strides in case Of a rout.
