GERMANS RUSHING
TROOPS TO FRONT

Paris, Sept. HERMAN reinforce
ments are being hurled In enormous
numbers to the center of the present
battle line.
Reports from the front emphasize
that the critical position. so far as the
allies are concerned, is In the terri
tory In the vicinity of vitry-le-Fran-
co.'s, through Genicourt, almost to Yer
dun.
The Bri.ish-French left continues to
sweep the Germans back north of the
Marine. They have shortened their
lines pending the arrival of reinforce
ments, but the British attack contin-
ues with almost uninterrupted sue
cess.
IL the French finally crush the at
tack at the center the present British
movement will be successful. as 1t
will clear all Western France OF the
Germans. But ii the center breaks
the German menace will Immediately
become great.
That the Germans have no intention
of ~retreating under present circum-
stances Is shown by the official re-
ports received by General Gallieni,
which show that they are bringing
their caterpillar" siege guns forward
behind their center.
1t lis not believed that the decisive
stage can be reached in the present
battle for at least three or four more
days.

Their chief officer was found to be
Lieutenant Count Won Schwerin, a.

been married only seven months. The
officer commanding the French detach-
ment found that the counts sword was
a present from the emperor himself

on the blade. The counts saber, belt
and helmet were taken to st. Ouen and
presented to the wife Of the officer who
made the capture. The sword was
blood stained and Its point twisted"
