War Summary

The French War office an
nounced at o'clock yesterday
afternoon that the Germans In
France we're retresting generally
and only offering a feeble resist
ance.
A British official announce
ment says that their troops have
crossed the river Ourcq and Satur-
day morning we're pursuing the
German right, whose retreat was
rapid. II Is declared the French
army had all the artillery OF one
German army corps.
Up to late yesterday no state
ment had been issued by the Ger
man War office. The latest Off
cial German report said their
forces had captured a fortress
southwest OF Verdun, and news
dispatches indicate purpose on
the part OF the German general
staff to surround and cut off from
the line OF the allies the strongly
fortified city OF Verdun.
News dispatches indicate that
the Russians have not over
whelmed tho Austrians in Galicia,
as had been claimed. Fresh and
stubborn fighting in that Austrian
province is reported, and this has
given rise to the speculation that
the German corps brought from
the west may have been thrown
into Austria to support the Aus
trians instead of proceeding to
east Prussia TO reinforce the Ger
mans already there,
The situation in east Prussia is
in doubt, but there is nothing to
indicate that the Russians have
made any notable advance west
since their reverse at Allenstein.
They were last reported attacking
Koenigsberg, while the German
troops we're said to be moving to-
ward that stronghold:

Avoiding Battle Near Antwerp

LONDON Sept 12--News OF decisive
character from the east of Vitry-Le-
Francois. where the army Of Saxony and
parts Of the armies commanded by the
prince of Wurtemberg and General Won
Buelow are fiercely struggling to break
through the French right and center still
hangs fire and the anxiety Of both forces
grows ksener as It is recognized the result
of the battle in this quarter is likely to
have decisive effect on the whole line.
Should the Germans smash through the
center OF the French line in this district
they would turn the line Of French from
tier forts and seriously endanger the rear
Of General Castleman's Sixth army corps
already engaged up to the hilt with a
corresponding host Of Germans before
Nancy.
II is FUZZY realized here that the driving
back OF the German right wing and right
center in no way is conclusive and that
as the Franco British forces rallied after
their long retreat, so may the Germans
turn and retrieve their present reverses.
First. stage of Struggle.
The public is warned that the present
situation merely is the first phase OF a
great battle and that the battle itself is
only the first stage of titanic struggle
between the nations which will continue
so long as the main armies remain intact
as they are at present.
The latest unofficial reports from the
plains Of Champagne tell Of considerably
larger numbers tf German guns and pris-
oners being captured than were mentioned
in the last official communication.
Belgian official reports speak Of rout
of the Germans by troops moving south
ward from Antwerp. but while there IL no
reason that the invaders are evacuating
parts Of Belgian territory, It It seems
probable that they are purposely avoiding
battle as the main object OF their south

who was wounded in fight during the re-

Of the battle there:
1T was Sunday and the British regi-

enjoying themselves in leisure along the
streets. Belgian women, returning from
church, handed the soldiers their prayer
books as souvenirs while the Belgian men
gave the men cigarettes and tobacco,
which were even more welcome.
About noon, when the men were be-
ginning to think about dinner. a German
aeroplane appeared overhead and began
throwing out q cloud of black powder,
which is one of their favorite methods Of
assisting distant batteries to get the
range.

enemy fiercely. The outposts lost very
heavily much Of the damage being done
by shells. The rifle fire was ineffective,
although at times the lines OF contenders
were not more than 300 yards apart.
