Such reports as came from the seat
OF war on September s were conflict
Ing. The London Evening News re-
ported that General Pau annouced a
victory by the allies over the German
Imperial Guard, under command of
Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm, III
which the British annihilated the Cd.
posing Germans. An unconfirmed ru-
>ior said that the surrender of the
German Guard, with the crown prince
in their midst had been demanded. The
British official press bureau issued no
confirmation of this report.
A general summary of the wars
standing, so far as it is possible to as
certain the facts, would seem to be
somewhat as follows:
Nancy, being subjected to an at
tack said to be directed by
the kaiser himself, evidently had
its means of defense considerably
strengthened. and the French must
hold strong positionst here. Such an
attack would appear to be in accord
ance with the plan of forcing this part
of the French army back toward Paris
and incidentally agaist the advancing
German right, thus accomplishing the
object of cutting off its line OF re-
treat and possibly effecting it's cap
ture. There is a certain element of
doubt about this attack on Nancy in
view of the fact that the Germans had
occupied Luneville, a strong fortress
about eleven miles from it, some ten
days ago and that the Notifications OF
Nancy are old and obsolete. 1t would
sound more probable if the attack
were directed on Toul
At any rate, the presence of the kali
ser in that war zone would mean
that some decisive stroke is pending.
The French have been apprehensive
of determined German action in that
terrain and are supposed to have a
strong force there This force, though
possibly inferior in numbers. has an
advantage in its defensive position
and ought to give a good account of it
self in the coming action which, for
France, may be the rinal issue.
Germans Forced Back.
Paris reports that the Germans have
been forced back in a southwesterly
direction by flank Movements of Gen.
eral Joffre on the right and by Gen.
eral French on the left wing Now this
is just the direction in which they
swung from north OF Paris, and it ap-
pears by this report that they have
been pushed where they intended to
60. There is some confusion here. as
General French in the same report is
reported driving the Germans from
Lille. II seems to be certain. though.
that a great battle is being fought
along an undulating line between
Meaux and Verdun.
he explanation Of the German sue
cesses on French territory contained
in a London dispatch. which attrib-
uted them to relay work, is plausible
in view Of the continuous stream OF
re-enforcements OF men and war ma
IsTial which has followed in the wake
of the advancing forces. Only per

242 men are missing
II is reported on reliable authority
that Captain Francis Martin Leake
was saved.
A torpedo boat destroyer was the
first to the rescue. 1t was followed by
the St Abb motor life boat, several
other small war craft, and fishing
boats. They found the Pathfinder had
been blown to pieces and the sea was
strewn with wreckage.

the German destroyers used in COM

was finished all the British vessels
with the exception of one submarine

There was much anxiety as to the
fate of this vessel. and as nearly a

Paris.-The American embassy here
is daily in receipt of letters written by
dying soldiers, forwarded to it by the
French government for transmission
to Germany.
One is from German aviator, who
had fallen into the hands of the
French. The man wrote:
"Good-by dear father and mother;
my leg has been crushed. The French
officers are very kind"
A postscript to this letter, added by
a French officer, reads:
AT this point the brave fellow died;
please forward this to his parents.
