that during the first 10 days of the
war more than $500 trains bearing
100000, troops for the western thea
ter of war passed over the five bridg-

Notwithstanding this enormous army
reinforcements are still being hurried
to the front. not only to take the place
OF the huge number killed and wound
ed, but in order to carry out the emf
nently German plan that so far as pos
sible fresh troops be hurled at men
who already have borne the burden of
the day.
In addition to the tremendous siege
guns of the Germans, ordinary field
pieces have been hurried forward.
An American who has just arrived
from Cologne says the Stars cores

the success of the Germans was due
entirely to the fact the troops always

a Horrible rxperlence

The destruction of the Pathfinder
occurred about o'clock Saturday
afternoon at point ten miles north
east of Saint Abbshead, Scotland.
While she was patrolling the coast
the cruiser struck mine, which ex-
ploded near her magazine. Trawlers
ten miles distant felt the shock.
From Weymouth, II miles from the
SC eneof the explosion, a huge cloud
of smoke was visible on the horizon
A torpedo boat destroyer was the first
to the rescue. She was followed by
the Saint Abb's motor life boat.
The Pathfinder was literally blown
TO pieces and the sea was strewn
with wreckage.
The devastating effect of the eXplo-
sion is emphasized in the report of
Coxswain Nesbit of the Saint Abb's
motor lifeboat. He said that for a
mile and half the water was strewn
with wreckage of every description.
In the midst of the debris he found
floating a ships Bible and collections
of personal articles from the ships
cabins.
A message received in London this
morning states that in addition to the
motor lifeboat several steam drifters
hurried to the spot where the Path
finder sank, and adds that it is learn
ed on reliable authority that the cap
tain of the Pathfinder and some 50
or so of his crew were saved.
About 80 of the crew of the Path
finder, dead and wounded were pick
ed UP by torpedo boats and taken to
a hospital at the naval base. Captain
Peake and several other officers were
saved.
According to official announcement
the casualties among the officers
were one killed, eight missing, one
seriously wounded and one slightly
hurt An eyewitness, describing the
sinking of the cruiser, said:

The leipzig Heard From

San Francisco, Sept THE Brit
ish freighter Cetriana, which arrived
here early teday, reported that she
had been halted in Mexican waters
by the German cruiser Leipzig, her
wireless outfit removed and her Ger
man cook transferred aboard the Leip-
zig. Her captain would not say when
nor where and was very reticent
about particulars.
There was nothing to indicate which
cruiser was escaping from the Bos-
phorous or what had happened to the
Goeben. The indefinite terms of the
dispatch aroused added interest be-
cause of the fact that the Goeben,
with the Breslau, another German ship,
after being chased by hostile ships at
the beginning of the war, took refuge
in the Dardanelles and were later re-
ported to have been taken over by
the Turkish navy, although it was un-
derstood German crew remained
aboard.
The latter feature opened the possib-
! ility of conflict between British and
Turkish ships. In view of the threat
ened entry of Turkey into the Euro
pear conflict by declaration of war
on Russia, this possibility was regard
ed with added Importance.
The British freighter Cetriana, un
der charter to the German govern
ntent, was stripped of her wireless by
the German cruiser Leipzig late II
August off Magdalena bay, Lower Cal
ifornia, and her cook, German, ant
one other German reservist, were
taken aboard the Leipzig.
This was the word brought by Cap
tain Minister of the British naval re
serve commanding the Cetriana
which arrived here today. The Get
riana left here July "a laden witt

veloped today into one of the most
important battle of the campaign,
The armies Of the allies are oppos-
ing the German advance over a front
extending for about 120 miles from
Nanteuil le Haudouin, 25 miles north
east of Paris, to the great fortress of
Verdun in the department of Meuse,
and 20 miles west of the German
frontier.
The number of men engaged is not
generally known. The French troops
were strongly supported by the Brit
ish soldiers, who passed through
Paris several days ago.
The position chosen by the allied
forces to give battle to the advancing
invaders is declared to be most favor
able, having near it's center the
strongly entrenched camp at Chalons
sur Marne.
The allies conducted their opera
tions so successfully that portion
of the German forces were forced to
retire. The Germans had reached the
region around Coulommiers and La
Ferte Gaucher, respectively 80 and
40 miles to the east of Paris, when
the detachments covering the flanks
of the main German army encounter
ed advanced attachments of the al
lies, who drove them back The

German Rear Toward Paris

backs toward the capital. French
troops are harassing their March.

Paris, Sept. 7.-It is estimated
unofficialy that nearly 100000
troops are engaged in the fight
ing, which is proceeding in the
east of Paris today.
The nearness of the fighting to
Paris was responsible for the re-
ports current this afternoon that
the sound Of firing could be heard
from the city itself. The day was
clear and strong wind from the
east would tend to support the
contention of those who declare
they heard the sound of artillery.
The inhabitants of Paris gath
cred in great crowds near the
gates of the city to watch the
passage of military dispatch bear
ers, who from time to time came
dashinq in from the east In swift
automobiles. In some quarters it
is estimated that nearly 100000
troops are engaged in this fight
ing. Nearly all the railroads in

control, were reserved for the use

He had been afflicted for several
years with paralysis and heart troub-

God in his intimate wisdom after his
long useful life called him from
