FRENCH MILITARY AUTHORITIES
FOLLOW BRITISH With STATEMENT
OF OPERATIONS ON BATTLE lines
Wing of Allies Has Fought Vaany Through Desperate
Assaults by Germ ans-A Detailed
State

ments this army was successful in escap-
ing from the Allies grip and was throw
ing itself with the greater part of its
force against our enveloping wing to the
north of the Marine and the west of the
Ourcq river. But the French troops
which were operating in this region, pow
erfully aidal by the bravery of our Brit
ish allies, inflicted considerable losses on
the enemy and gained the time necessary
to allow our offensive to press forward,
and at present on that side the enemy is
in retreat toward Aisne and the Disc
He has thus fallen back more than
so or 70 kilometers (37 to 46 miles, in four
days In the meantime the Anglo French
forces which had been operating to the
south of the Marine have not ceased to
pursue their offensive. Starting some of
them from the district south of the forest
of Grey and others from the region
north of Provins and south Of Esternay,
they opened out from the Marine on the
left, the army of Gen. Won Kluck as we'll
as the army of Gen. You Buelow falling
back before our troops.
1T is in the region included between
the plateau to the north of Sezanne and
Vitry-Le-Francois that the most desper-
ate fighting occurred. In this region there
have been operating besides the left wing
of the army of Gen. Won Buelow the ar
my of Saxony and a part of the army
commanded by the Prince of Wuertem-
berg. The Germans have tried to break
our center by repeated and violent at
tacks.
Our success on the offensive to the
north of Sezanne enabled us in our turn
to take the offensive and in the course
of last night the enemy stopped fighting
on the front between the marsh of ST
Gond and Sommesons district and fell
back in the region west of Vitry-Le-
Francois.
"On the Ornain river, as between the
Argonne forest and the River Meuse,
where the armies of the Prince of Wuer-
temberg and the crown prince of Ger
many were operating, fighting was still
going on with alternate advances and re-
treats, but without any great change
in the situation.
Thus the first phase of the battle of
the Marine is turning out in favor of the
allied armies, since the German right
wing and center at present are in retreat.
ION our right the situation remains
without notable change in the vosges and
around Nancy, which the Germans have
tried to lombard with some long range
guns.
The general situation has thus been
completely transformed during the last
two days, both from strategic and tacti-
cal points of view. Not only have our
troops stopped the Germans march which
they thought was victorious one. but
the enemy has fallen back before US at
nearly every point

Paris, Sept. 11.-(4.40 P. M.)-The
French military authorities, who here
tofore had confined the information
made public concerning the military
operations east of Paris to laconic
stateemnts very general in character,
today gave lengthy description of
the most important battle since the
beginning of hostilities.
Evidently the left wing of the allied
armies facing the northeast has borne
the brunt of the preliminary engage
ments, in which the British took such
a prominent part that they are the
object of the highest compliments on
the part of the French military men.
The combat, according to the official
announcement, seems to be developing
into an abandonment of at least the
advance positions held by the Ger
mans who. it Is announced, are retir-
ing along a greater part of the line.
This retirement is said to have been
for As miles at some points.
Furious onslaughts, sometimes by
the French and again by the Ger
MANS occurred about the center of an
extensive line in the vicinity of Vitry-
Le-Francois.
Three great German armies COM
manded by Gen. Won Kluck, the Crown
Prinve Frederick William and the
Duke of Wuertemberg, effected a juno
ture and repeatedly hurled themselves
against French positions with the
greatest vigor, but they were not able
to achieve the seeming object of break
ing the allies center and thus divid-
ing the Anglo French armies.
The French and British offered an
equally vigorous resistance, eventual
ly compelling the Germans to with
draw. The fighting continued through
out last night and the allies position,
1t is understood, was improved to-
day.
A rain storm caused great difficulties
in the marshy districts but did not
stop the operations. The fusillades of
the troops nd the artillery duel pro-
ceeded all day.
1t is believed the retiring Germans
suffered more than the Allies from the
storm, as their Withdrawing seolumr $
were encountered with baggage and
ammunition wagons.
Official Statement
An official communication issued this
afternoon, follows:
AS we already have announced, a
battle has been taking place since
Sept. over a front extending in a
general way from Paris to Verdun.
From the very outset of this action
the German right wing. the army COM
manded by General Won Kluck, which on
Sept. had reached to a district to the
north Of Provins, was obliged to fall
back because of the danger OF being en-.
yelo9ed. By ie clever azs rapid move

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Turkish
ambassador. A. Rustem Bey, explain =
ed in detail to Secretary Bryan today
hte meaning of Turkeys abrogation of
all conventions and capitulations re-
stricting the sovereignty of the Porte.
The ambassador made it clear that
American missions and schools would
continue to be protected by Ottoman
law, although American citizens would
lose their extraterritorial rights in
civil and judicial cases. The capitula-
ton which had been abrogated, he
said, would not affect the existence Of
the missions, which had been recog-
nized previously by Turkish law. The
ambassador said he would issue a
statement later interpreting Turkeys
action.
AS Turkeys notification was Of a
general character, without specifying
particular treaties, officials had not
been sure of the extent of the action.
They were inclined to believe, how
ever, that as the special privileges
granted by Turkey were woven in most
all of her agreements, it's effect would
be to break off Turkeys treaty rela-
tons with the entire world. That view
was confirmed in Turkeys notification
that the Ottoman government had
adopted "as the basis of its relations
with others powers the general prin-
ciples of international law" Officials
here believe the effect of Turkeys ac-
ton will be as follows:

have had the right of trial N civil

TURKISH AMBASSADOR EXPLAINS
MEANING OF The AbROCATION
OF CONVENTION WITH The WORLD
American Missions and Schools Will Continue to Be Protected
By Ottoman Law Although Americans
Lose Former Rights
cases by their own dip

and criminal cases by their own dip
lomatic and consular courts. now will
be subject entirely to Ottoman law.
Turkey will be able TO increase or
reduce her customs duties without
the consent of the powers.
Americans and other foreigners
who have hitherto been exempt from
the payment of professional taxes can
berequired to pay the same"
The religious freedom of Christians
will not be interferred with except
the tax which Mohammedan rule i'm
poses on all who are not of that faith
may now have to be paid by Chris
tians, if the Turks so desire. The
status of Americans and schools are
not changed by the action.
While the right of the missions to
exist are not threatened, officials
would not say just how far their Sc
ourity might be in jeopardy especially
in view of a possible outbreak of his
tilities.
Many Americans. especially the
Jews, who have inherited rights of
American citizenship by living in
what are known as the ex-territorial
communities of Turkey. will not be
able to bestow the rights of Ameri-
can citizenship upon their children
born in those communities.
The action of Turkey will not affect
Egypt, according to officials as that
country, since 1873. has enjoyed the
right to make separate commercial
treaties with foreign governments.
