GERMAN FORCES HARD PRESSED IN FRANCE
Attack on Paris Tenn
porarily Postponed
Russians Winning.
FOLLOWING FALL OF LEMBERG,
CZAR'S HOSTS BEGIN NORTH
WARD MOVEMENT AGAINST
ANOTHER FORCE.

Paris, Sept 9.-The Germans adj
eancing upon Paris have been forced
to face about and now are fighting
with their backs to the city while the
allies harass their rear with cavalry
and artillery supported by infantry.
Tables Are Turned.
The monotonous and steady on
slaught of the kaiser's forces, which
have been hurled forward by leaps and
bounds toward the Notifications Of
Paris, has been turned into a rear
guard action with the Germans in re-
treat.
Entire Line Not Retiring.
This does not mean that the entire
German line is retiring. The kaisers
forces on the battle front number l.
100000 men, according to close esti-
mates, and they are distributed along
battle line which extends from Nan
teuil-Le- Haudin, Is miles northeast of
Paris through Meaux to SeZanne in a
southeasterly direction and then lit
tie north of easterly to Verdun through
Vitry-Le-Francois, front of 120 miles.
Advance Body Cut Off,
It is more probable that the advance
body of the invaders which had sue
ceeded in penetrating to Coulomaires
and Laferte-Gaucher has been cut off
from the main body by the allies south
of tho Marine river to the immediate
east of Paris and are now retiring in
"a
the object of affecting juncture with
the Bavarian army under Prince Rup-
percht which is attacking Nancy under
the personal direction of the kaiser.
Allies Number 100000.
The general action which was
started on the allies left when the pur-
suit of the retiring Germans was taken
up, was vigorous from the beginning
and soon the full force of the united
armies of the allies was thrown into
the conflict. These number 100000
men, making the number of those en-
gagged in both sides about 100000.
French on Rear
From time to time as the Germans
continued to retire they were forced
to turn and engage the French who
were hard upon them in their rear.
French shells were falling continually
In the German rear and it was evident
that the field artillery Of the pursuers
was being forced we'll to the front of
the line of attack
AS the action along the left Of the
allies line was carried eastward, the
engagement became general all along
the line which development marks the
definite abandonment of the kaiser's
turning movement against the left
flank of the allies, which has been
hammering for two weeks.
More British Land.
Reports that the British have land
ed another army at Ostend, believed
to be the fifth army which has been
sent across the channel, gave rise to
the hope here that this British force
in conjunction with the Russian bri-
gades that have been landed in the
north at point which is not disclosed,
will be able to strike the German army
In the rear and thus bend the invaders
line toward the allies front, effectually
trapping the enemy.
City Is Calm.
The city is comparatively calm. The
day was beautiful and a strong east
wind blowing enabled those with sharp
ears occasionally to hear the sound of
artillery firing off toward the battle
field.
Col. ROusset, the military expert, be-
Iieves the battle now in progress will
be decisive. He declares it is clear
now that the extra rapid advance of
the Germans on Paris was only an in
timidation. This having failed in it's
effect, the Germans must now fight in
an open field. Optimism was the key
note everywhere in Paris last night
Possibility Heir to Throne Has Fallen
London, Sept. 8-The imperial
guard of the German army has been
annihilated and there is a possibility
that Crown Prince Frederick William
has been slain by the British in an
engagement at Precy-Sur-O accord
ing to Boulogne dispatch to the Eve
ming News. The Evening News pub
fishes the dispatch under reserve.
Precy is a town on the Disc river
about Is miles north of Paris. 1t is
given only on the most enlarged de-
tail maps.
News of the engagement was con-
tanned in telegram from General Pau,
which said that the British troops
under command of Sir John French
and the French under General d. Am
ade had met with a signal success in
an important engagement.
