Evening News from Petrograd says

ALLIES GET AROUND
" GERMAN RIGHT FLANK
French and British Not Only Re-
pulse |nvaders1but Are
Gaining Ground.

London, Sept 9.-The British and
French forces north and east of Paris
have had further successes against
the German invaders, according to the
official bulletin issued, while in Cali
cia the Russians continue with con-
siderable success their attempt to en-
velop and defeat the Austrian army of
100000 men under General Auffen-
burg.
For the moment at least interest
centers in the campaign in France,
for it is felt that the battle proceed
ing there is the first real crisis of the
war and will have vital effect on the
outcome.
The allies, according to bulletin
issued by the French war Office, sue
cessfully have repulsed another at
tempt of the Germans to penetrate
their center between Fere Cham
penoise and Vitry-le-Francois, where
the roads and railways are, more suit
ed to the French movements than
they would have been further north.
Repu|se German Attack.
In fact, it is believed General Joffre
purposely fell back from .Ghalons so
that he could choose ground more
favorable for his army for either de-
fensive or offensive operations. In
this he seems to have been justified
for not only was the German attack
repulsed, but at Vitry-le-Francois the
Germans actually lost ground.
This has been the scene of the
heaviest fighting of the present bat
tie, for on the German right, which
the allies seem to have got around
General Kluck is falling back before
the forward movement of the French
and British forces toward the Marne
between Meaux and Sezanne,
There must have been some fighting
here, however, as the French report
that some prisoners were taken from
the enemy.
Allies Have Been Reinforced.
There have been many rumors Of
reinforcements having been sent this
army by the allies. Some of the ru-
mOrs are to the effect that Russian
troops actually have joined it and 9TH
ers that the Indian troops took part
in the fighting. These rumors, how
ever, remain without confirmation and
the more thoughtful observers of the
war consider that the increased
strength of the allies left wing is due
to the arrival of fresh troops from
England and France and to the fact
that the advanced defensive army of
Paris is taking part in the operation.
The French are still sticking be-
low the Lorraine frontier and here,
according to the war Office, have re-
pulsed an attack made by the Ger
mans on the line between Nancy and
Chateau Salins. In Alsace, where the
French advanced so quickly at the be-
ginning of the war, there has been a
long respits from serious fighting.
This is due, in the opinion of military
experts, to the withdrawal. of the Ger
mans, who were needed for the west
and probably to the return to Austria
of troops sent to the assistance of the
Germans last month.

they held their first meeting two
months ago. When her health per-
mitted she attended the Sunday
school and Christian Endeavor meet
ings held here. and helped by word
and deed in acts Of mercy whenever
possible. Left to mourn her passing

GROWING RICHMOND
 PREP ARES FOR TRAFFIC

RICHMOND, Sept. 12.-street wid- ening asd street extensions, including openings across and under tho rail. roads, are matters that the City Coun. ell is giving much attention to these days. As the city grows 1t is found that these added traffic facilities are needed and 1t is realized that 1t is best to provide them now, as the problem grows more difficult with the advance of the city. Richmond i5 well provided with wide main thor. oughfares, but others are developing.
 Extensions of Ashland avenue over Pennsylvania avenue to connection with the State Highway in the north ern part of the city is one of tho plans City Engineer II. D. Chapman is working out. He has already fin ished the plans for the boulevard that is to extend along the slope of the hills from the Santa Fe terminal to the Standard oil refinery. He has al. so finished plans for an outfall sewer for the western part of the city that is to empty into the Standard oil tidal canal running from the refinery site to San Pablo Bay. This canal and the bay at that side of the city are to be developed for shipping to serve the northern section, which is the location of large number of factories.
 Many teams and men are at work on the paving of Cutting Boulevard and Pullman avenue. It is hoped to make record time Of these big jobs so as to beat the heavy rains.
 The per centage of Easterners among the visitors to Richmond is greater than 1t has ever been before. They are helping increase the invest. ment movement in Richmond, as most of them have desire to obtain prop erty on San Francisco Bay.
