Tells of Allies, Victory.

Emigrants in Paris from Crepy-en-
Valois, in the department of Disc, 90
miles southeast of Compeigne, report
that the Germans were crushed near
there and that piles of bodies were ly-
ing yard high. A sergeant wounded
near Compeigne. declares he saw the
humiliation of an entire German divi-
sion by the French artillery.
Another report says 10000 Germans
were lost in the battle.
The messages indicate a further
marked advance Of the Germans. Pre-
vious reports had them fighting at La
Fere, in the department of Aine, about
seventy miles from Paris. Compeigne
is little more than forty miles from
Paris, in the department of Disc, which
is just north OF the department of the
Seine, in which Paris is located.
Fighting All Along Line.
The official press bureau in London
ON Thursday issued the following
statement:
Continuous fighting has been in
progress all along almost the whole
line of battle. The British cavalry en-
gagged with distinction the cavalry OF
the enemy and brushed them back and
captured ten guns.
The French army has continued
the offensive and gained ground in the
Lorraine district"
German Attack on Belfort.
The great fortresses of Belfort have
been attacked, according to dispatch
to the Standard from Geneva, by a
great force of German artillery, and
after three days of the most desperate
onslaught the fortress was still hold
ing out.
This is the first news that Belfort
itself was under attack, and the news
from Paris indicates the French right
has retired behind the fortress under
cover of its guns.
Crown Prince Is Beaten7
A belated official report from Paris
asserts that the army of the German
crown prince, which attacked the cen
ter of the line of defense, has been de-
feated.
1t is reported that, worn to exhaus-
ton by many days of continuous
marching and by their appalling losses
the Germans, under orders of the
kaiser, concentrated all their strength
to crush the left wing of the army OF
the allies.
The allies lines were strongly re.
enforced and reserve forces stationed
behind the British and French troops
in the positions they have assumed to
halt the German advance.

The Russian forces are investing
Koenigsberg.
This information was given out
Thursday by the Russian general staff,
which also frankly confesses to the
disaster of two army corps, including
the loss OF three generals, in the
southern part of east Prussia.
Victory Near Lustchoff.
The general staff also announces
that the Austrian Fifteenth division
was completely routed near Lustchoff
on August %, and that 100 officers and
1000 soldiersr were taken prisoners.
The official statement adds that the
commander of the Austrian division.
the commander of brigade, and the
chief OF staff of the division were
killed. OF the 1000 men made prison
ers, 600 had been wounded.
The Russians also captured 20 guns
and the flag of the Sixty-fifth Austrian
regiment

Austrian Loss Heavy.

Petrograd.-The general stan has
officially reported that Austria lost
100000 men, killed, wounded or cap
tured, in the battle for the defense of
Lemberg, in which the Austrians were
overwhelmingly defeated by the Rus
slams. The conflict lasted seven days.
with 100000 Russians attacking 6OO,-
900 Austrians.
The Austrian troops that fed have
been joined by a new army west OF
Lemberg and fierce battle is raging
over a front of so miles. Nearly one

slams have the larger force.

French Kind. Says Dying German.

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 a 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"

German Troops And Defenders
Come Into Contact On
Saturday
FIRST THREE DAYS SHOW
INVADERS DRIVEN BACK
ments Claiming That Kaiser's
Troops Have Been RepuIsed
Near Paris.

Paris-The first highly important
and decisive battle since the war be-
gan 35 days ago, with the possible
exception Of Charleroi, seems to have
begun on the plains of Marine on
Saturday with favorable results to the
English and French for the first three
days.
If the French success is decisive
the Germans will be forced to retire
to Luxembourg and even to their own
domain. If the Germans win, it is ex-
pected that they will renew their
movement towards the southeast,
where the army for the defense of
Paris, in entrenched camps, faces
them.
Other armies are said to be menac-
ing the TANKS of the Germans, this
report being construed as meaning
that the British are sending reinforce
nents of their own and Russian troops
to the front on the west, whole the
French are reinforcing their army in
the east. At the same time the Bel
gians are reported to be making an
offensive move from Antwerp against
the Germans at Brussels and other
Belgian points.
Several official announcements Of
the retreat of the Germans were made
One issued at the government bureau
Tuesday, said:
THE allies have advanced their left
wing without energetic opposition
from the enemy.
The situation is unchanged on our
center in the region of Verun, our
forces alternately advancing and re-
firing. There have been some partial
successes on our right in the Vos-
ges.
THE advancing troops and the al
lies defending Paris have had several
combats, with the results in favor of
the allies"
The battle lines are stretched in a
rough crescent east of Paris from
Nanteuil-le-H audoin to Verdun with
the French on the outer edge of the
crescent and the Germans occupying
the interior line 1t is a general ac-
ton with the British troops fighting

apparently attacking-or defending

strength being thrown against the ex.

Death List Is Appalling.

London.-The Standards Paris
correspondent in a telegram says that
the losses of the French northern
army. which has been operating in
Belgium and between Paris and the
Franco Belgian frontier, are estimated
at about one hundred thousand killed.
wounded and missing.
1t is assumed that the majority OF
the missing are dead and the total
number of dead is said to exceed 3d.
600.
The German losses cannot be esti-
mated with the some probability of ac-
curacy, but it is though that the Ger
man forces opposing this part of the
French Srmy must have lost fully one
hundred and fifty thousand, of whom
between 25,5O0 and 10000 are esti.
mated TO have been killed.
