 So far as the public, is concerned little is actually known as to how the armies in the field are faring. Most of the information made public from official quarters is of a negative c1ar- acter, as. for instance, the announce ment of the French war office, that there has been no contact with the riegne and Senlis since Wednesday and that the situation in the northeast has not changed.
 The two towns are respectively 4E miles north of the French capital and they appear to mark the points near est to Paris to which the German ,ad- vance guards have approached.
 With the removal of the government to Bordeaux all efforts around Paris have been directed to preparations for the threatened investment of the cap- ital by the Germans. In addition, the French authorities have ordered areo- plane patrols to guard against any further raids by German aviators. A number of French aeroplanes ae con tinuaHyffying in the neighborhood o1 Paris and others are kept in readiness with guns, to attack any of the Ger mans who appea-,in, the sky. v The attitude of Turkey is still await. ed with anxiety and a Petrograd est PetersburgJ despatch says she is mob filing on the Persian boundary, but slowly
