Attack on Paris Tenn
stpUned--"
Russians Winning.
FOLLOWING FALL OF LEMBERG,
CARS HOSTS BEGIN NORTH.
WARD MOVEMENT AGAINST
ANOTHER FORCE.

Paris, Sept. 9.-The Germans adj
5ancinS upon Paris have been forced
to face about and now are lighting
with their backs TO the city while the
allies harass their rear with cavalry
and artillery supported by infantry.
Tables Are Turned.
The m|Onotonous and steady on.
slaught of the kaiser's forces, which
have been hurled forward by leaps and
bounds toward the Notifications of
Paris, has been turned into a rear
guard action with the Germans in re-
treat.
Entire Line Not Retiring.
This does not mean that the entire
German line is retiring. The kaiser's
forces on the battle front number H.
5000 men, according TO close esti-
mates, and they are distributed along
a battle line which extends from Nan
teuil-Le-Haudin, % miles northeast of
Paris through MeauX to Sezanne in a
~southeasterly direction and then a lit
lie north of easterly to Verdun through
Nitry-Le-Francois, a front of 120 miles.
Advance Body Cut Off.
1t is more probable that the advance
body Of the invaders which had sue
ceeded in penetrating to Coulomaires
and Laferte-Gaucher has been cut off
from the main body by the allies south
OF the Marne river to the immediate
east of Paris and are now retiring in
an D9EfDVlN 1irnntinn nrDIo11,, ,,;.l>
the object of affecting a %juncture with
the Bavarian army under Prince Rup-
percht which is attacking Nancy under
the personal direction of the kaiser.
Allies Number 1,4Oo, 900.
The general action which was
started on the allies left when the DUR
suit Of the retiring Germans was taken
up, was vigorous from the beginning
and soon the full force of the united
armies Of the allies was thrown into
the conflict. These number 100000
men, making the number of those en-
gagged in both sides about 5000, 600.
French on Rear.
From time to time as the Germans
" IClIlt lltN we're lOTCGU
to turn and engage the French who
We're hard upon them in their rear.
French shells were falling continually
In the German ear and it was evident
that the field artillery of the pursuers
was being forced we'll to the front of
line of attack.
AS the action along the left of the
allies line was carried eastward. the
became general all along
the line which development marks the
definite abandonment of the kaiser's
turning movement against the left
flank of the allies, which has been
hammering for two weeks.
More British Land.
Reports that the British have land
ed another army at Ostend, believed
to be the fifth army which has been
sent across the channel, gave rise to
the hope here that this British force
in conjunction with the Russian bri-
gades that have been landed in the
north at a point which is not disclosed,
will be able to strike the German army
In the rear and thus bend the invaders
line toward the allies front, e%ffectually
trapping the enemy.
City Is Calm.
The city is comparatively calm. The
day was beautiful and a strong east
wind blowing enabled those with sharp
ears occasionally to hear the sound of
artillery firing off toward the battle
field.
Col. Rousset. the military expert, be-
the battle now in progress will
be decisive. He declares 1t is clear
that the extra rapid advance of
the Germans on Paris was only an in
This having failed in its
the Germans must now fight in
an open field. Optimism was the key
note everywhere in Paris last night.
Heir to Throne Has Fallen
London, Sept. S.-The imperial
guard of the German army has been
annihilated and there is a possibility
Crown Prince Frederick William
has been slain by the British in an
engagement at Precy-Sur-Oise, accord
ing to a Boulogne dispatch to the Eve
ming News. The Evening News pub
fishes the dispatch under reserve.
Precy is a town on the Disc river
about % miles north of Paris. 1t is
given only on the most enlarged de.
tail maps.
News Of the engagement was con-
in a telegram from General Pau,
which said that the British troops
under command Of Sir John French
and the French under General d Am
ade had met with a signal success in
an important engagement.
