Germans appear to have pierced the
line at several points and this part of
the French army seems TO have been
forced TO fall back in the direction Of
the old intrenched camp OF Chalons.
This has no modern works.
The French attempt now is to get as
much OF their army as possible behind
the line OF the Marine river before the
Germans can cut IL of. The most dis
tant elements OF the French left wing
appears 10 be about so miles away
from the Marne, while the nearest ele-
ments of the German right wing. those
near Reims. appear to be only about
80 miles distant. or something more
than two days march for these large
armies.

the taste of a man who enjoys home
life There are thick carpets on the
floor. pictures on the wall and a
smoking stand with two pipes in one
corner. But no man has ever been
seen 10 enter the place, and the wo-
man never spoke to any of her neigh
bors.
To them she was 1.-The beauty and
..the queen of mystery" The woman
was strikingly beautiful. No sounds
were ever heard in the fiat, and the
woman seldom left her apartment. She
lived alone with her maid, Blanche

right wing must be stopped immediate

do il so far.
AS TO the French center, which IS
between Verdun and TOul, we hear

point OF the whole German right wing.
The center is being held lightly by the
Germans. and the French are in their
permanent works along this front.

atious and the news from Russian

The operations in east Prussia are

There are probably two Russian
corps in front of Koenigsberg. while
one German corps is in 1t. These two
corps appear To be the only Russian
troops now IN that province. The Ger
mans appear TO be advancing with
about six OF seven corps south from
