the time when the national aspira-

the opinion that the public should
leave to the government the deterrni-

The resolution adds that it is hoped
that the governments decision will
lead to the triumph of those senti-
ments Of national democracy from
which alone Europe can obtain an
epoch Of social peace.

VON KLUCK
100000 Men Are Rushed
Belgium to Support the
German Wing

London.-Fo Forces of the allied ar
mics swept past Noyon in the move
ment to encircle General Alexander
Won Kluck's troops and the French
have driven back to Laon the Ger
mans northwest Of Rheims.
Aeroplane scouts report that gen
eral retreat toward the Rhine of the
German armies in France is under
way. Many German troops which
started from Belgium to reinforce the
firing line in France have been driven
back to rendezvous at Brussels,
where it is reported 100000 Germans
have gathered.
The ianking movement left General
Won Kluck in an extremely dangerous
position. The Saxon army commanded
by General Won Hansen has been brok-
en- up and that officer is in disgrace.
French advance guards are in touch
with the enemy as far as ST. Quentin.
The Allies now hold all of the i'm
portant strategic positions in the Noy-
on-Compeigne Vic triangle, except the
heights on the River Disc.
Laon, where the German line has
been broken by the French, is the key
to the roads commanding the Ger
mans direct retreat to the Rhine,
through Luxembourg. Maintenance of
their present positions by the French
will leave the Germans no avenue of
retirement, except through Belgium.

The Express" correspondent says
the bombardment of Rheims began
from German batteries posted six
miles north Of the city The first shots
shattered the windows Of the cathe-
dral, which was flying the Red Cross
flag, as 500 wounded German prisoners
were in its chancel. OF these $50 suf-
fered wounds during the lombard
ment.
Four hundred inhabitants of the
town were killed during the lombard
ment. All historic buildings near the
cathedral have been destroyed, and
much of the town. The population is
flying to the southwest.
Debris and crumbling walls are all
that is left of the thirteenth century
cathedral, the most remarkable ex-
ample that was left Of early Gothic
architecture
In addition to the cathedral the mu-
scum, the hospitals and the city hall
were destroyed.
In spite Of the bombarment and their
repeated attacks upon it the Germans
have been unable-to take Rheims.
Dispatches indicate both Germans
and Allies occupy strong intrenched
positions, and in many cases oppos-
ing gunners are holding new forti-
fed positions. Desperate charges
have been repeatedly attempted by
both sides without any decisive re-
suit.
The French foreign office has for
warded to neutral governments pro-
test against the German bombardment
of the Cathedral of Rheims.

TRENCHES FILLED WITH WATER.

X L T.
Paris Fragments of news from the
front confirm the serious character of
the combat on the Aisne. Some Of
those wounded who have arrived here
declare that the fighting was even
more violent than on the Marine. and
say the losses on both sides must be
heavier. The English, as on the
Marine, are bearing the brunt Of the
counter attacks.
After many days constant hammer
ing the German artillery .slackened its
fire during a heavy downpour of rain.
The trenches were nearly filled with
water, diminishing greatly the adyan-
tage Of the defence works prepared by
the Germans and at the same time adj
ding to the sufferings Of the wounded.
Terrific losses have been sustained
on both sides. One estimate places
the casualties at 10000 men.
Berlin (via The Hague) The Off
cial statement from the War Office de-
clared that the battle in France is
still progressing with the German
forces slowly breaking down the
French defence. 1t is explained that
the German lines have been extended
at certain points and now include the
original French lines.

men, which mad been sent east to re-
pei the Russian attack in East Prus-

forces in Galicia, have been with
drawn and are being rushed to the
western scene Of operations in France.
London.-The movement of eight
German army corps from East Prus-

is taken to mean that the Kaiser in

fortress Of Jaroslaw with heavy siege

Between Jaroslaw and Przemsyl the
retreating enemy destroyed the
bridges across the San River. ia
roslaw stands twenty miles down
stream from Prsemysl. Thirty miles
above, Austria's strongest fortress,
Sambor, another important strategic
point, has likewise been seized by
the Russians.
Sixty miles northwest of Jaroslaw,
in another part of this titanic battle
field, the Russians have taken San
domir. which was fortified in their re-
treat by the Germans.
The whole of the enormous area of
this great struggle is now represented
as waste through which bodies OF
soldiery from the broken Austrian ar
mics are wandering in groups and
singly, seeking only to yield them
selves prisoners. The Russian pursuit
is still proceeding vigorously.

attempt the British delivered coun-
ter attack, breaking the German lines
and following up their advantage with
a bayonet charge in which an entire
Brigade was badly cut up.
The army OF Grown Prince Frederick
William has finally turned on its pur-
suers at Montfaucon, northwest Of Yer
dun, encouraged by reinforcements
coming from the Rhine garrisons, and
the line of defense was clearly estab-
lished from sixty-seven miles north
east of Paris, to Montfaucon.
The brunt of the French frontal at
tack being thrown against this point
and the care the Germans have taken
in fortifying accounts for the slow pro-
gress Of the French offensive.
The Germans offered the most OBJ
stinate resistance and fought as though
made of iron. The Allies at the same
time doggedly pursued the small adj
vantage they gained and kept at the
heels of their reluctantly retiring foe
During the seventh night of battle
the Germans made formidable move
ment in the western sphere, but were
met by the French and British with
great courage. The Germans return ed
to the attack no fewer than ten times
with marvellous tenacity and intrepid
ity, but were unable to break through
the allied infantry.
The fight Just before daybreak was
the most violent of all. The Gefmans
appeared to throw into the charge all
that remained of their energy, but
were rolled back with enormous loss
es. Before retiring behind their big
guns they sacrificed many Of their
numbers, displaying resolution
which approached desperation. "A Wig
orous counter attack ensued during
which small extent of ground was
gained.
During the combat the adversaries
In many instances came to hand-to-
hand clashes, and the bayonet was ex-
tensively used. The carnage was ter
rifying, but the troops of both arm les
appear to have been hardened to such
scenes, and fought with indomits BILE
GOODNESS despite the heaviness Of the
losses.
Two things stand out as news amid
the general uncertainty One is that
the French Government has Issued
DEGREES by which young men of less
than twenty years, legally ineligible
for military service. are to be admit
ted as volunteers. The other is that
Maubeuge has fallen into German
hands.
The first indicates that France has
at last determined to put forth her
full fighting strength. Properly car
ried out, this new decree means
that France will have at least 7,000,-
600 men to face the invaders, for the
summoning Of youths below twenty
will add enough to the fighting ranks
to bring the total up to more than
one-sixth Of the entire population.
The second item, that relating TO
Maubeuge, means that Germany now
has a free and uninterrupted line Of
retreat into Southern Belgium and
Luxembourg.
