PARIS, Sept. 3.-The crisis in the
worlds greatest battle has been reach
ed. The Germans have thrown the
full weight of their legions into the
combat in northeastern France.
The left wing of the allied Anglo
French army has been pushed back
to the Disc river, along which furious
fighting is in progress.
The French and British soldiers,
falling back step by step have inflict-
but so far have failed to give deci-
sive check to the steady advance of
the invaders.
This was the situation today as re-
vealed in brief dispatches to the war
office.
Fight in Compiegne.
Hard fighting is going on around the
forest in Compiegne, less than So
miles northeast of Paris, where a
corps of German cavalry engaged the
French and British lines.
Further east on line between
Longport and Coucy another German
cavalry corps is pushing against the
allied line. An important section OF
the general engagement was fought al

The French were suffering under
heavy machine gun fire when the Brit

The British soldiers fled into the
positions occupied by the French and
the latter retreated, being worn out
by the fierce OnslaughtS of the Ger

overwhelming numbers the British

The northwest wing of the allied
army is now strung out in a wedge
formation with the British forces or

fighting. Although the Germans have
driven back the allies. they have mo-
succeeded in the crumpling of either
side of this angle. The allies also have
the advantage of moving on interior
lines. That is to say that being on the
inside of the angle they can move
troops more quickly from one poin
to another than the Germans.
With their strong left wing restins
upon the strongly fortified line of thu

PARIS, Sept 3.-President Poin-
care and members of the French gov
eminent have fled to Bordeaux.
Amiens has been captured by the
Germans. Bologne has been aban-
doned, thus becoming city for occu-
pancy by the German forces whenever
they see fit.
All of northern France, from Dieppe
on the English Channel to Montmedy
on the Belgian border is now under
control of the Germans.
For the second time in history the
soldiers of Germany have compelled
the abandonment of Paris as the seat
Of the central government. The first
time was in 1871, when the Prussians
drove the entire state department to
Bordeaux.
Remove Archives.
The removal of the archives has al
so begun. President Poncaire, mem
bers of his cabinet and all the govern
ment embassies of the allied nations
left at 1870 last night for Bordeaux,
where they will stay during hostili-
ties.
Myron T. Herrick the United States
Ambassador to France, has taken
charge of the archives of the embas-
sizes Of all of the belligerent powers,
and will remain here. First Secretary
Robert Bliss of the American embassy
will also stay.
John w. Garrett, American ambas-
sador to Argentina, has gone to Bor'
deaux to represent the United States
at the French capital. He was accom-
panied by the third secretary and by
Captain Parker.
Explain Removal.
The cause of the removal of the
French government was set forth in a
proclamation signed first by President
Poincare, then by Premier Rene Vivi
mai and the other members of the Cab
met. 1t follows:
"Frenchmen-FOr several days our
heroic troops have been engaged in
fierce combats with the enemy. The
courage Of our soldiers has won for
them several marked advantages, but

This situation forces the president OF
the Republic and government to this
decision:
I'm order to safeguard the nationa
interests it is the duty of the public
powers to go away from Paris for the
moment. Under command of its emf
nent chief. the French army, full OF
courage and spirit will defend against

be pursued at the same time on the

TBY LEASED WIRE.1

ROME, Sept 3.-An unconfirmed re-
port from Athens says that a Turkish
army is marching across the seventy
five mile wide strip of Bulgarian ter
ritory bordering the Aegean sea to in
wade Greece. If this is true the OBJ
jective of the Turks is evidently the
newly acquired Greek territory be-
tween Kavala and Salonika, if not Sa-
lonika itself.
1t is believed that Turkey has an
army of at least 100000 men under
arms German officers who have been
arriving at Constantinople in great
numbers, have been distributed among
the Turkish army to give it the back
bone of discipline and to conceive
strategic movements. The general be-
lief has been that if Turkey goes to
war at the urging of Germany, hostili-
ties will be commenced simultaneously
against Russia and Greece and possi-
bly, England.
The belief is expressed that Turkey
may send three flying armies against
her foes; one across Bulgaria into
Greece: another into the Cacacus to
strike Russia, and third into Egypt
against the English.
