LONDON, Sept 6.-The following

The German army administration
reports that in the west the allied
troops are in retreat between Paris
and Verdun and that the German
troops are pursuing them. Paris is
empty and the only scene of ami
nation there is around the railway
stations, which are filled with thou
sands of fugitives. The London
newspapers do not consider that
Paris will defend itself to the utmost.
'1n the eastern theater of war the
Austrian attack on Lubin continues
and the armies commanded by Cen
erals Dank and Auffenberg are still
engaged in dispensing the enemy so
as to obtain the fullest advantage
from their glorious victories at Kras-
mix and Zamosc.
Sees Russians In Flight.
Those victories which were
achieved after three days of bitter
fighting resulted in the flight Of the
enemy. The Russian advance on
Lemberg has been brought to a halt.
Further important developments
are imminent. The first Polish
legion under Austrian command, has
been formed at Cracow. The en-
peror has appointed General Won
Vaczynski to command this force.
Warsaw is being prepared for a de-
fense by the Russians.
''It is reported that fear of the German

tress held out under a bombardment
shell killed an officer and ten men, Some
of the shells penetrated through the three
fold easements OF the fort. AS an ac-
acknowledgement of the great bravery
shown in the defense Crown Prince
Frederick William permitted Lieutenant
Colonel Darche, the French commander
to retain his sword.
The range OF the German guns during
the bombardment was eight kilometers
(about five miles,.
New Explosive Used.
French prisoners arriving at Cologne
from Longwy insist that the German ar
tillery used a new explosive of tremend-
GUS force which bursts with an immense
green flash and gives off little smoke.
The explosive is so thoroughly proof
against shock that a shell is able to
penetrate the thickest wall and not ex-
plode.
Gradually the number of German SOL
diers now at the front, and their methods
are being brought to light by the Ger
man press. From the information avail
able it appears that Germany now has
more than 100000 men in France, the
total number of army corps assigned to
the invading forces as described in Ger
man papers being twenty two, without
counting independent cavalry divisions
and the artillery, which are under sepa-
rate command.
In Action Once n Week.
Letters from the front published in
German papers indicate that 1t is seldom
any regiment gets into action oftener
than once in a week except when cir
cumstances make this necessary.
While admitting that their losses have
been heavy the German press ridicules
statements made by the foreign papers
concerning their heavy casualties and
makes sarcastic comments on assertions
that the Germans fight in close order and
are poor riflemen.> They maintain that
the German losses are surprisingly light
considering the results achieved and that
the recovery from wounds is greater than
20 per cent.
Credit for this is given TO the thor
oUghly efficient sanitary service. which
now has in operation 60,OO0 automobiles
and ambulances. Evidently the Germans
themselves are surprised at the efficiency
displayed by their artillery,
