French Announce Check to Germans.
Paris, Sept. 5.-An oficial communi-
cation. issued by the military govern
ment of Paris. says:
"The movement of the opposing
armies near Paris are being continued
without contact taking place. In the
district of verdun (the center) the
German force has sustained some
checks. In Lorraine and the Vosges
1.-THE French right our troops won
fresh partial successes. The general
situation is little changed"
An Official statement, issued earlier,
said:
THE situation is looked upon favor
ably here. Reports from the front say
that the advance Of the Germans upon
the extreme right Is somewhat slower
and that the fighting in the vicinity Of
Compiegne resulted in favor of the
allies.
The three German army corps
(120,0 men) that made such q sensa-
tor march toward tho capital have
begun to show signs Of fatigue. 1t is
omcially confirmed that the Germans
are TRANSPORTING troops Dosthaste back
to their eastern frontier to meet the
onrush of the Russians.
I'm Lorraine the French are pro-
crossing along the right bank Of the
river Sanon, a few miles from Lune
ville."
French troops have been passing
through Paris for the last three days,
headed toward the battle lines which
protect the capital from the German
advance.
The resumption of the German OF
fensive is awaited at any moment. The
confidence of the French has strength
ened. It Is felt that the strategical
probe of the allies is to select the
right plan and the right moment for a
counter offensive movement.
Tens of thousands Of Parisians.
chiefly women and children, have TAX

1t their disposal by the government
