French Victory More Complete


 Bordeaux, September 13.-(3:3O D. m)- The minister If war, Alexandre Millerand today communicated to the cabinet the following telegram, which he had re- ceived. from General Joffre commander in chief of the French forces:
 Our victory is confirmed as more and more complete. Everywhere the enemy is In retreat. Everywhere the Germans are abandoning prisoners, wounded and mu- nitions of war.
 After heroic efforts on the part of our troops during this formidable strug- gle which lasted from the 9th to the l2th Of September, all our arms are flushed by success and executing a pursuit un- exampled for it's extent
 'On our left we have crossed the Aisne below Soissons, gaining 65 miles in six days fighting
 Our armies of the center are north or Marne, while those of Lorraine and the Vosges are arriving on the frontier. The morale, endurance and ardor of our troops and those of our allies are ad. mirable. The pursuit will be continued with all our energy. The government of the republic may well be proud of the army it has equipped"
 Bordeaux, September 13.-(315 D. m)-If the German armies still are in condi- tion to offer resistance they will, in the opinion of well informed experts, do so along the line extending from Pe- rome through St. Quentin and Mezieres to Ardennes. The only army not falling back is that of Crown Prince Frederick Williams, south of the forest of Argonne. It is probable, according to experts, that the Crown Prince has been unable to find apsafe line of retreat. The Argonne district is a difficult, mountainous region without roads. and the crown prince would be compelled to move either north east or northwest. In the first case. it is declared, he would be attacked from Verdun, while the second would throw him with the Duke of Wurtem- burg's army, which would involve both armies in confusion. Experts, therefore, believe the crown prince if he is forced to retire will attempt to break through eastward between Verdun and Souily.
