RIGHT WING OF GERMAN
 ARMY HAS REITERATED 70 MILES Has Contested Every Inch of Ground --.-@---~ the Past Two Days.

London. Sept. Is, s.20 p. m-The German army, which less than fort night ago was at the Gates of Paris and the right wing of which then ex- tended to the southeast of the French capital, is tonight drawn up on al most straight line, extending from the neighborhood of Noyon, in the west. to Bois Forges on the Mouse. north of Verdun with it's left resting on the German fortress of Metz. Thus the right wing, at least, has gone back more than seventy miles in two weeks. while the rest of the army has had also to retire before the whole could find ground on which to make another stand against the ad- vance of the allies.
 Germans on Battle Line,
 That the Germans intend to give battle on this line. with the river Aisne in front of their right, the hills of Rheims facing their center and the mountains and forest of Argonne on their left, there seems to be little doubt They went back steadily be- fore the French and English armies fighting only rear guard actions until their right. in command of Genera Won Kluck. got across the Aisne. Ther they turned and delivered severa. cording to the British official report were repulsed, the Germans Ieavins 200 prisoners in the hands of thu British

The German and allied armies are again facing each other on long slightly curved line stretching from Noyon, in the west, to the Argonne Forest on the east and thence across the Mouse to the southeast, in the di- rection of the German fortress of Metz distance of nearly two hun dred miles
 Rear guard actions have been fought during the past two days. with the Germans disputing every inch of ter ritory until their arms should again get into alignment to oppose the al- lies. All reports indicate that these actions have been severe but they are considered of minor importance in comparison with the great battle of the Marne and the new battle which is now threatened.
 official statement issued by the French government is of the most meagre character. General headquarters at the front has sent to Paris no new details of the late fighting and the Paris officials draw no inference, for publication at least, from the course of events in the battle which has last ed several days. It is stated, how ever. that the allies have not weak ened on any position.
 The British; efiicial press bureau quotes Russian official sources as au- thority for the statement that the rOut of the Austrian army in GaIicia is complete. The Austrians are esti- mated to have lost 250,000 men in kill ed and wounded and 100000 men and 400 guns captured. In this communi- cation the failure of the German ef- fort to save the Austrian army is noted and the Germans are said te have lost many pieces of siege and other artillery
 The Russian General Rennenkampf who is conducting operations in Eas Prussia. has recently found himsel. in dangerous position and has fallei back to Russian fortresses on tho Russian frontier.

Vera Cruz, Sept. 16.-The American forces will not be withdrawn from Vera Cruz before October 10, if the war department at Washington ac- cepts the suggestion of Brigadier General Frederick Funston.

BATTLE OF THE MARINE
 STILL IN FULL PROGRESS.
According to Statements Received ir
 Berlin from General Headquarters.

Berlin, Sept. 15, via Rotterdam to London. Sept. 1T. t.20 a. m.-The bat tie of the Marne. according to reports received from general headquarters, is still in full progress along the entire front from Paris to Verdun. There has been no decisive result and thus far the action is said to be stationary generally. A staff officer declared to- hard fighting to decide the issue. Last nights bulletin showed that the armies of General Von Kluck and the other armies yesterday joined in the general action, including that of the crown prince of Germany, who hither- to has had his hands full with Yer ] dun.
 In Contact Along Whole Front. Most of the newspapers refrain from commenting on the war. The Tagee Zeitung's military expert, however. in summarizing the situation, gives the battle line as 1S0 kilometres from Gre 1 py to Verdun. He declares that the opposing armies. which hitherto had been divided into eastern and western have closed their gaps and are now in contact along the whole front. | Claim Partial Successes. | 'Tt is not stated" this expert says | which side took the initiative. or whether the partial successes which General Won Stein reports consist of repulsing the French attacks or are successful German advances against
 individual points of the extensive bat tie line. The fact, however, that we are at least able to chronicle partial
 successes, while otherwise the tide oi battle is stationary, shows that the general situation, for us. at any rate is not unfavorable."
 | General Von Stein's reassuring an- nouncement to the upper Silesians that
 no great danger is threatening them | seems to have been due to the retire
 ment of the Austrians under Generals
 Dankl and Won Auffenburg, dictated, il is thought here, by a possible flank movement by the Russians.

 An official warning has again beer issued to East Prussians not to return to their homes in certain parts of the province which are still considered un. safe.
