French and British Pressing
Both Wings of Enemy.
Believe the Center Must Even

Paris. Sept. 9.-Declaring that "our
successes are continued" General
0allieni. military governor of Paris.
today declared that i his opinion the
Paris defense army can safely be
pushed forward to aid the British
French column in crushing the Ger
man right wing.
There is spirit of confidence in
army circles today. The French CEN
ter holds fast. Whatever advantage
there is is with the French. The
right and left wings are driving the
Germans before them. AS a result of
this development. the German center
must eventually fall back to protect
itself. The French officials here seem
plainly satisfied that the result of the
battle is rot yet decisive. 1t prob
ably will last for several days. The
initial advantages are all ith the al
lies and they are today fighting on
ground that the Germans held on
Saturday and Sunday.
For the first time since the war be-
gan the Gerr ans are declared to be
outnumbered. General Paul Pau,
who is now in command of the
French center, has at least $4,000
more men than are facing him.

brought from the front today. They
declared the French left had taken
thousands of prisoners. They also in
sist that the losses of the French
British on the offensive are far small
er than were the losses CT the Ger
mans under similar circumstances.
The German rifle fire, the declare, is
still high.
That the German movement is ac-
tually a retreat and not strategic
proposition is indicated by the report
from the front that there are thou
sands Of dead and wounded Germans
in the territory now occupied by the
allies. 1t is stated that the German
officers deliberately sacrificed thou
sands of men in one supreme effort to
break the allies line. This was es-
pecially so in the case of the army OF
General Won Kluck. His men swept
up to the British artillery massed
along the river banks a score of times,
only to be finally compelled to re-
treat, leaving hundreds Of their COM
rades behind. In each instance the
British infantry charged the retreat
ing Germans bayonetting them as
thew ran.

COME ON, BILLY.
Kaiser Wrl Come to U. s. II
Germany Gets Licked. =
Has Large Western Holdings,
Says London Financial News.

London, Sept. 9.-In the event of
Germany's defeat in the big war. the
kaiser probably would take refuge in
America. according to the London
Financial News, which says today:
There can be no doubt that the de-
feat of Germany in the present war
means for the kaiser one Of two
things:
Either death by his own or some
body else's hand. or else flight to
non-teutOnic soil. Ever since Ger
many began to make preparations for
attack the kaiser has heen investing
large sums of money on the other side
of the Atlantic. He is one Of the larg-
est land owners in the western states,
but not in his own name, of course.
He owns considerable sections of
property in western Canada. These
investments in America indicated very
plainly that the kaiser. at the time
when he was preparing to stake the
fortunes of his dynasty upon the at
tempted conquest of western Europe.
also was preparing for the possibility
of failure by consolidating his huge fl
nancial resources in the United States
and the neighboring dominion in case
he has to escape to that part Of the
world.
IF ne cannot boss western Europe.

AUSTRIA in PANIC
POpulace Trembles, Army Re.
bells, Famine Threatens.
Serbs Have Been Torn to Death
in the Streets.

London, Sept. 9.-The correspondent
of the Daily Mail in Milan, who has
lately been in Vienna, draws a gloomy
picture of that empire. He says:
Panic rules in Austria. The great
unwieldy and bankrupt empire dragged
reluctantly at the heels of Germany is
in state of desperate muddle and fear.
Her armies, half hearted at first and
now openly mutinous are beaten back
at every point by the Russians.
The policy Of mixing in each COM
pany men of the different races which
compose the empire has had the result
that there is no spirit de corps In
the army. The men were driven into
trains at the point of the bayonet an6
scores were shot by their Officers to
terrorize their fellows into obedience.
while the Russian avalanche drives
on, Bosnia is in open revolt and Trieste
Is paralyzed by fear of an attack from
sea. Austria is bankrupt, trade at a
men are ruined by a war which they
hate.
while the harvest remains ungath-
cred, Vienna is menaced by fam
inc and prices are steadily rising. In
resentment. the population has turned
against the foreigner and Serbs have
been torn to pieces in the streets. Two
Russian newspaper correspondents
were shot by the police and five for
eign journalists are in prison.
In utter fear, the government has
ments have been made to flood large
tracts Of low lying land around the city
Riots have occurred in many towns and
to the terrors of the Cossacks and the
Serbs will be added those of revolution
and famine"

siderable Austrian forces. Our troops

Rumaaians Want to Fight.
London, Sept. "a telegram received
here from Bucharest, Roumania, says

George to the British colonies. 1t is
as follows:
During the past few weeks the peo-
pies Of my whole empire at home and
over seas have moved with one mind
and purpose to confront and overthrow
an unparalleled assault upon the con-
tinuity of civilization and the peace of
ma ankind.
.sThe calamitous conflict is not of my
seeking. My voice has been cast
throughout on the side of peace. My
ministers earnestly strove to allay the
causes Of the strife and to appease diff
ferences with which my empire was not
concerned. Had 1 stood aside when in
defiance Of pledges to which my king
