BERLIN GAY WITH
FLAGS, EXPECTING
VICTORY HOURLY
Belief Is Firm That Nothing Can
Now Withstand Army's
Advance.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, via Sayville, L. l., Sept
4, by wireless to A. p. station.-Ber
lin is gaily deoked with flags. Conf
dence prevails that nothing can stay
the victorious advance of the western
armies.
Major Moraht, the military expert
of the Tageblatt, expects that the
armies of Duke Albrecht and the
crown prince will soon reach Chalons
and Verdun, which can be easily
masked without delaying the adj
vance.
These towns have lost their STRAIT
egic Importance Toul and Epinal
Capital of the department of Vosges)
may delay the armies of Prince Rup-
precht and General Won Heeringen,
but this is unimportant.
Raids in Upper Alsace are to be ex-
pected while Belfort is in the hands
of the French but this is without
significance so far as the general re-
suit is concerned
The Lokal Anzeiger points out that
the taking by the Germans of La
Fere and Laon almost without blow
means the capture of position on
the line where the population had
been reassured and which line the
latest English papers received here
asserted would hold out long against
the Germans.
1t is now revealed that Austrian
motor batteries each consisting OF
two 12-inch guns, mounted in auto
mobiles, have been cooperating with
the German heavy artillery reduction
of the northern fortresses. The mo-
bility and accuracy of the fire of these
batteries is highly praised by head
quarters and the special correspond
ents.
The decoration of the order of the
iron cross has been conferred upon
Aviator Lieutenants Zahn and
Rheinhardt. The aerial arm of the
German forces probably will receive
many such distinctions, as theil
achievements over a heavy fire have
been remarkable.
