GERMANS RETIRING.
The position of the troops, as
stated in the French reports. is that
the German right army is retreating
beyond the River Vesle, which runs
between Rheims and scissors; that
the German forces in the centre,
which had penetrated farthest south,
are falling back north of Vitry-le-
Francois and Seimaize and have
crossed the River Marne, and in the
hilly wooded country between Vitry
and Verdun the Germans have lost
Revigny and Brabant-le-Roi.
The French appear to have taken
the offensive along almost the entire
front, as indicated by successes in the
east between Luneville and st. Die
where they have retaken several
towns they evacuated a fortnight
ago. Reports from Basel say hard
