KAISER DISAPPOINTED IN RE.
SUITS OF Won MoLTkE's
CAMPAIGN.
western Newspaper Union New.s.rvlq..


London, Oct 5.-General Won Kluck,
reinforced with troops from the Ger
man center. continues to make a de-
termined stand against the attempt Of
the allies to outfl1nk him. The French,
who yesterday officially reported that
all German attacks in this region had
been repulsed and that the allies had
resumed the offensive, announced to-
day that the battle to the north OF the
Disc. which Commenced seriously
about Sept 25, continues with great
violence with no decisive result and
that at certain points the French
troops have had to yield ground.
The Germans, in their report Is.
sued last night, say the battle is pro-
ceeding successfully for them.
Both in London and in Paris there
is the greatest confidence, although
some surprise is displayed at.the sue
cess OF the Germans in preventing the
outflanking movement. There is a
feeling, however, that the Germans
cannot extend their line much further
north without weakening it at some
point.
Along the rest OF the line, the
French communication says. there has
been no change. Therefore the prog
ress in the regions Of Scissors and
Woevre. reported Sunday night. either
has satisfied them for the moment or
they have been checked by the Ger.
mans.
General Helmuth Won Moltke has
been superseded by General Voight
Rhetz as chief of the German staff.
The Kaiser is said to have deposed
Won Moltke because of keen disap.
pointment over the results of the cam
paign mapped out by his chief. Won
Moltke is known as a great organ.
lzer. and he has been given credit for
the machine-like precision Of the Ger
man armies.

tria Apologies.
(Summa,y Of E0ents.)


Fully confident that one or two
more days of assault all along the
line would drive the German
army of invasion entirely out
of northeastern and northern
France, the Allies have been dis
appointed again by an unexpect-
ed and vigorous rally of Gen. Won
kluck s forces.
The battle front is once more
where it was when the general en-
gagcment along the Aisne river
began ON September y. Military
observers say now there can be
no decision in this struggle until
one side simply crushes the other
with outnumbering forces. just
now both armies are being stead
lily and equally re-enforced, so it
appears there will be no decisive
result for an indefinite period.
Both Sides Rally.
From September rs to October 3 the
Allies were having all the best of the
fight against General Won Kluck
They were battering his army badly
and they had almost accomplished n
crushing flank movement not far
south of ostend. Belgium. when the
Germans rallied and pushed back the
French-British left wing.
A similar operation took place In
the eastern field. except. however. the
positions OF the opponents were re-
versed. The Germans had silenced
some OF the important forts around
verdun. French army base, and were
beginning a serious penetration into
eastern France. The French rallied.
drove the Germans clear back into
Lorraine and penetrated German ter.

failed.
Germans Hold Positions.
Despite the optimism of Russian of
fetal statements concerning the oper-
ations against Germany's East Prus-
sian army, the situation is really un.
from the Slav standpoint
The Germans have penetrated fifty
miles into Russian territory and are
themselves in force on
the Russian side of the entire Russ
German frontier.
Winter Germany's Ally.
While time is of the utmost value
TO Germany in its French operations,
every week of delay forced upon the
Russians means week nearer the
winter weather that will ally itself
with the German defense. For this
reason Austria's desperate resistance
in Galicia is OF great value to Ger.
many.
Dispatches from Lemberg, capital
Of East Galicia. state that Russian
civil government has been formally
established In all cities and towns in
this territory. which has been an.
