SUNDAY.

Germany's right wing army has been
defeated by the French and British in
France. This German force has been
pressing the allied lines for two weeks
in an unsuccessful attempt to flank
them.
The army of 100000 assembled un-
der General Joffre for the defense OF
Paris has taken position at an adVan-
tageous point. 1t is assumed the en-
gagement announced by the war office
opens a great battle that may decide
the struggle in France.
Dispatches from Bucharest report
the advance of the Russians on Ger
nowitz, which they have occupied. 1t
Is stated that the inhabitants Of Buko-
vina, near CzerRowitz, Joined with the
Russians. This Is regarded as the first
sign of the dissolution of the Austro-
Hungarian empire.

have tried to lombard with some long
range guns.
"The general situation has thus been
completely transformed during the last
two days, both from strategic and tac-
tical points of view. Not only have our
troops stopped the German march,
which they thought was victorious
one, but the enemy has fallen back be-
fore us at nearly every point" [
Reports from the fighting line say
that at some points the Germans have
retired from 60 to rs kilometers (from
81 to 46 miles,.
Evidently the left wing of the allied
armies facing the northeast, has borne
the brunt of the preliminary engage
ments, in which the British took such
a prominent part that they are giVer
the highest compliments by French
military men.
The combat, according to official an
nouncement, seems to be developing
into an abandonment of at least the
advance positions held by the Ger
mans, who, it is announced, are retir
ing along greater part of the line.
The most furious onslaughts, some
times from the French and sometimes
from the German side, have occurred
about the center of an extensive line
in the vicinity of Vitry-le-Francois.
Three great German armies, COM
manded respectively by General Won
Kluk, the Crown Prince Frederick
William and Duke Albrecht OF Wur-
temburg, formed a junction and have
repeatedly hurled their heavy masses
of troops forward to assault the
French positions with the greatest
vigor, but they have been unable to
achieve their object of breaking the
allies center and thus dividing the
Anglo-French armies.

1t is said that approximately hall

frontier from the western thater OF

troops are from Belgium.
In a dispatch from Copenhagen the
correspondent of the Repter Telegram

MONDAY.

Both flanks of the German army IN
France have been turned-that of the
east by French troops under General
Joffre and that of the west by the
British under Sir John French, ac-
cording to unofficial dispatches.
More than 200 men perished when
the British cruiser Pathfinder was
blown up by mine in the North Sea.
The mine was of such tremendous
power that it literally blew the war
ship to pieces.
While the tide of battle Is varying
in France, the Russians are reported
to have made long strides in their
westward march in Austria. The czar's
troops have begun to attack the Aus
trian army behind the f,rtiilcations OF
Przensyl. General Rusziy is in COM
mand of the assaulting army. Ant1ci~
pating that Przemsyl will fall, the
army of General Rennelkampf Is mov-
ing forward to join General Ruszky
beyond that city. The announced in
tention is that then the two armies
will march on Vienna.

Driven back along their entire battle
line and with their right wing army
shattered by heavy losses, the Ger
mans asked the French fer an armls-
tice to bury their dead and care for
the wounded. The request was re-
fused.
French and British troops were VIC
torious from Meaux, near Paris, to
Chateau Senlis, in Lorraine. the
greatest shock of the battle was felt
on the French center, where the Ger
mans were forced to retire after they
had delivered a series of violent at
tacks to pierce the French lines. Fully
100000 men participated in the fight
ing.
It is reported that the Austrian
forces which were routed by the Rus.
slams near Iemberg, the capital of Ga

that they have rallied and are-sacing
the czar's troops again.
