Oceanic, most
PAbATIAb ship.
Wrecked At SEA
White Star Liner, as English
Reserve Cruiser, Sinks

OFFICERS and Crew
Get away SAFELY
BY The United Press.

ANN AAAltQ IAtcos
LONDON, Sept lO-The War Office
and the official press bureau were
strangely silent today as to details Of
the wreck of the White Star Line ocean
greyhound Oceanic off the north coast
Of Scotland tuesday. The statement is
sued said merely that the big liner was
wrecked and a total loss, and that all
officers and crew were saved. Cause of
the sinking of the ship, which had been
taken over as a naval reserve cruiser,
was still mystery here early today.
The Oceanic was considered the most
paiatial of the White Star liners. In
many ways she was a more palatial
boat than some of the larger and later
ships which piled between America and
England. When she started on her
maiden trip to New York in 1899. She
was the largest merchantman on the
high seas.
When the Oceanic was building,
Thomas Ismay father Of J. Bruce
lsmay. former president of the White
Star Line, gave orders that money was
not to be spared in fitting the ship. No
ship built since had more elegant fit

room being of solid hand-carved oak i,
decorated with gold Two hundred
thousand dollars was spent in fitting
the dining saloon.
Up to a short time ago, the May
sailing of the Oceanic was known as
the 'milionaires' trip" because of the
large number of wealthy Americans
who sailed aboard her at that time. She
was a favorte with the late J. p.
Morgan. Cornelius Vanderbilt. w. c..
Whitney Philin Armour. the late Col
onel John Jacob Astor and other multi
millionaires. Three years ago the own
ers of the Oceanic spent q quarter Of n
million dollars in refurnishing her. The
original cost was about S45O0O00 and
she was said to be the most graceful
liner in the service.

LONDON, Sept 10-News from the
battle front in France today states
omphatically that the success Of the
allies is continued. It IS stated that
the latest attempt of the Germans to
force the French centre has failed and
that the British-French forces are
driving the German right far before
il with the heaviest of losses.
General Smith-DOrrien is the hero
of the occasion. His praises are on
every British officials tongue. That
the present offensive Of the allies is
possible is admittedly due to his eff
forts. With his small corps he for
two days withstood an overwhelming
force of Germans, making possible
the saving of the entire left wing Of
the allied army
The official report of General
French made public in the Gazette
last night. only touched on this, but
the official reports dealing with the
details Of the engagement cannot be
published in their entirety at this

that for two days, August 26 to 2S,

lpletely surrounded by Germans five
times their number. but that they
held their positions until the entire
left wing OF the allies succeeded in
reaching new positions selected and
we're fully entrenched
The British aviation corps is also
admittedly covering itself with glory.
The present successful movement of
the British-French left, which is
driving General Won Kluck's army far
before it. is declared to be due to
the excellent reports of the air scouts

BY. J. w. t. MASON.

NEW YORK, Sept 1O.-11 a. M
The Germans are being pushed
more and more into a defensive posi-
ton. They are not yet as completely
on the defensive as the allies were
during the retirement from Belgium,
but the right and left wings are ap-
preaching that condition.
The reported abandonment Of
Luneville by the Germans and the
cessation of their attack on Nancy
indicates the French are showing back
the invaders left. The German cen
tire is holding its own, but is unable
to advance. The centre pivots on
Vitry-le-Francois, eighty miles east
of Paris, where the continuation Of
the heights Of the La Fere-Laon-
Rheims fortified line terminates. Wit
ry-le-Francois is 45 miles southeast
of the deserted French entrenched
camp at Rheims 1t is probable the
allies are trying to force back the
German right wing to Rheims in the
hope that the Kaiser's forces will fall
into a second Maubeuge trap. II
would be bitter irony for the Ger
mans If any part of their army were
compelled to find temporary refuge
in one of the deserted French forti-
fed centres and there forced to sur
render
This possibility is not remote, for
the present natural direction OF re-
treat of the German right is toward
the Rheims Vitry-le-FrancOis line of
hills. Any other route would be to-
ward isolation
If the allies succeed in folding up
the German right along this line, the
necessity for quick retreat toward
Luxembourg will be as pressing for
the Germans as the retreat toward
the Paris basin was necessary for
the allies In this case, the Germans
will require as masterful a defensive
general as Joffre has proven himself
to be.
The disaster to the Austrian forces
in Galicia is growing daily. 1t is al
most certain Germany cannot count on
the help of effective Austrian resis-
tance to prolong her own campaign.
The Austrian army has crumpled at
the first clash. even more quickly
than the Germans hoped the French
would do. That this has been due to
extraordinary stragetic and tactical
ability on the part of Russia, the pre-
vious collapse of the first Russian
offensive in East Prussia disproves.
Austria's defeats are undoubtedly
due to inherent weakness as a nation
of many races. without common ideals
and sympathies. The Austrian SOL
diers now fighting Russia speak
dozen different languages. Yet they
are largely commanded by men Of the
German race and not by officers
speaking their own tongues. These
soldiers have been taugh about 100
German words of command, which
