Just what they will be cannot be

important conferences during the last

Suggestions are heard that a Brit =
ish fleet has passed through the
Skagerack, around Denmark. presum-
ably headed for the Baltic. This
would be a dangerous move as the
channels are mined and 1t would be
impossible to employ Scandinavian
pilots to ensure a safe passage
But British admirals i'm the past
have defled mines and torpedoes.
1t is known here that the German
Baltic fleet is flying the flag of
Prince Henry, brother OF the kaiser.
II is realized here that the Russian
Baltic fleet needs help, SO there may
be much more in the rumors than now

London, Sept. 2S.--A Sezanne dis

The first German army to be thor
oughly whipped on French soil was
that of the crown prince. It's rout saved
Paris. At the time of their victory
the French did not know the extent OF
the damage they had inflicted on the
enemy. Actually they had smashed
the flower Of the German military
power.
General Won Kluck's misfortunes
were due directly to the rout of the
crown princes left wing on the night
of Sept. 6. II actually retreated TWEEN
ty-four miles during that night. In
the plan of the German operations,
the path that promised the greatest
glory was reserved for the crown
prince, but the French army opposed
him with splendid strategy. They
fought stubbornly over every inch of
the ground, and. when the time came
for the offensive, they assumed it in
INC IIlOSN tllt'lht HldIlHtIs
Describing the battle on Sept. 6, the
correspondent says: "The battle be-
gan at daybreak and continued until
dusk. The artillery fire exceeded any
thing in history. The shells were timed
az falling thirty in thirty seconds. The
losses. especially TO the Germans, were
enormous. One estimate by trained
observer places as high as one hundred
thousand the German casualties, of
which twenty thousand were killed.
1T must be remembered that the
battle front extended for nearly forty
miles. 1t was largely of marsh land.
and here the enemy suffered most. The
French also suffered heavily. One corps
was entirely wiped out. When night
came, neither side could claim much
advantage in position gained and a
quantity OF ammunition
