London, Sept. 16.-The following
dispatch comes from the Standards
correspondent in Paris:
"The bestr view Of the retreating
German armies was obtained by q
French military airman. who, ascending
from q point near vitry, new northward
across the NAEne and then eastward
by way Of Rheims down 70 the region OF
Verdun and back again In a Hgzas
EcQNRpe TO . spot near 4oissons.
He saw tho German hosts not merely
In retreat but In flight, and in some
places In dIsorderly night.
:" It was a wonderful sight the air
man said, to look down upon those
hundreds and thousands Of moving
military columns. the long gray lines
Of the kaiser's picked troops, some
marching in q northeriy, others in a
northeasterly direction. and all moving
with a tremendous rapidity.'
Scatter as They Retire.
"The retreat, the aviator declared,
was not confined to the highways, but
many German soldiers were running
across fields. jumping over fences.
crawling thru hedges. and making their
way thru woods without any semblance
Of order or discipline.
These men doubtless belong to regi-
ments which were badly cut up in the
fierce fighting which preceded the gem
eral retreat. Deprived of the majority
Of their officers. they made mere rab-
BILE Of fugitives. Many were without
rides. having abandoned their weapons
in their haste to escape their French
and British pursuers.'
Germans Abandon Guns.
The Times correspondent near Melun
describes the German retreat in a hur-
ricane, with rain descending in tor
rents. the wayside brooks swollen to
little torrents.
"The gun wheels sink deep in the
mud and the soldiers unable to extri-
cate them. abandon the guns" he con-
tinues.
"a wounded soldier who has just re-
turned from the front told me that
they ned as animals fee which are
cornered and know 1t.

guns. knapsacks, cartridge belts. Max
inns and heavy cannon. There are

London, Sept. 16-The second great
south bound sweep of the German in
vaders met it's check, is now apparently
in progress to the northward of the
river Aisne. The opposing lines are ar
rayed from the Argonne hills, thru
Bethel to Chateau Porcien. and near
the practice camp of scissors, where
maneuvers contemplated cavalry train
ing on large scale for this very date.
Whether the Germans purposed to
fight to a finish at this position. or plan
merely to cover their retreat to the
river Meuse, is not yet clear, but the
German commanders are showing the
same skill in retreat and the same skill
in keeping their forces intact, as the
allies showed a fortnight ago.
No Decisive Result.
The German rush into France and
back thus far has brought no decisive
result. and until pitched battle on a
huge scale is fought and won neither
side is in position to claim that it has
secured more than the opening ad-
vantage in the war game.
The allies. for the moment. have re-
trieved their perilous position, and
have turned the tables on the invaders,
whose armies are still in great force
and on ground more OF less selected
by themselves.
Germany Stands Alone.
The debacle-for it seems nothing
less-in the Austrian armies. means
that Germany will have more and more
will be a greater inter dependence of
events in the eastern and western field
of operations.
What new forces Germany can put
into the campaign in the western area
must henceforth depend in a great
measure on how far she can neglect the
Russian movement on Breslau. the
capital OF the Prussian province of
Silesia, nineteen miles southeast Of
Berlin.
The war indemnities demanded by the
German troops in towns traversed in
Belgium and France reaches total of
$144.O0O,OO0.
Only small part of this sum has
been paid.
Position Of Allies Favorable.
The official press burea: today gave
out statement which says:
THE general position along the
Aisne river continues very favorable.
The enemy has delivered several
counter attacks. especially against the
First army corps. These rave been
repulsed and the Germans have given
away slightly before our troops and
the French armies on our right and
left.
The enemy's loss is very heavy and
we have taken 200 prisoners"

afternoon, stated that the German
army was fighting defensive bat

Of approximately 110 miles, with the
extreme west at point fifty five
miles northeast of Paris.
The German general staff an
nounced early today that the situa-
ton on the west front was still fav-
orabIe. It was added that the allie,

Ience to the outcome.
