Paris, Sept. S.-An official communi-
cation issued at Paris this afternoon
says that the left wing of the allies
armies, comprising portions of the
force defending Paris, continued to
make progress.
The advance reaches from the banks
OF the river Ourcq into the region of
Montmirail. The Germans are retir-
ing in the direction of the Marn river
between Meaux and Szanne.
The leading military authorities of
the city are convinced that General
Jcffre, ommander-in-chief of the
French forces, is at least holding at
bay the vast German armies of inva-
sion.
The wornout troops of Emperor Will
liam, who may constitute an army
totalling 100000 men, are today en-
countering the relatively fresh sol
diers of the French and British ar
mics on ground selected by the allies
end in positions within easy reach
of supplies and reinforcements.
The Germans are III hostile coun-
try and at distances relatively great
from their home bases. The invaders
today are probably at their greatest
strength, while the defenders of
France, especially the British contin-
gents are being augmented steadily.
The Germans are reported in Paris
unofficially to have asked for an ar
mistice to bury their dead and care
for their wounded. This statement
lacks official confirmation. 1t is fur
ther understood that the allies refus-
ed the request.
The fighting on the long line to the
east of Paris probably will last for
number of days; no quick and decisive
outcome is expected. The results OF
the encounters of the last two days
arc regarded as distinctly favorable to
the allies, and there is an atmosphere
of cheerfulness at the French war
office this evening.
Paris is optimistic this morning
Even the surprise at finding the Ger
mans have been able to traverse near
ly the entire Champigny country does
not shake confidence in the outcome
of the great battle. which, after all

London, Sept. S.-The African
World. a weekly publication. has re-
ceived information through what 1t
regards as a reliable Austrian source
to the effect that the Austrian en-
peror, Francis Joseph, died 10 days
ago.
The news of the emperor's death
was suppressed in Austria-Hungary,

Russians Scale carpathians

Paris, Sept S.-An official state
ment given out here today says that
Russian cavalrymen are now on the
crest of the Carpathain mountains
Continuing the announcement says
that the Russian defensive against the
Austrians in Galicfa continued sue
cessfully- The Austrian fort at Nico-
laieff, about 25 miles southwest of
Lemberg, has been captured by the
Russians Notwithstanding the fact
that it was protected by armored gun
turrets and three lines of fortifica-
tions.
The Austrians retreated from Nico-
laieff abandoning their supply trains
The Russians took many prisoners
end captured also 40 guns and great
quantities of ammunition.

the maneuvers, is being fought on
ground selected by General Joseph
Joffre, the French commander in
chief.
The famous turning movement of
the Germans has finally resulted in
battle formation that puts their own
right in jeopardy, as yesterdays ad-
vance of the allies left proved.
AS far as may be inferred from the
meager official news the army now
called the army of Paris must be act
ing as an independent force, holding
the convex side of curved battle line
and free to menace the communica-
tions of the enemy.
Bits of news already coming in
from the wounded show that the al
lies gained distinct success on the
left, the enemy suffering greatly while
trying to cross the river Marne. AS
fast as pontoons were finished the
French 3-inch guns demolished them
before they could be utilized.
The general opinion of the morning
press is that the allies may lose the
battle and. still make the siege of
Paris difficult for the enemy, while
ii the Germans lose the situation of
their entire army in France would
be critical.

 CHIHUAHUA, March 25-After tW enty -four hours of the fercest fighting that has marked any of the campaigns of the long rebellion in Mexico the rebel troops are in the outskirts of the city. They have dIiven the federal troops from their trenches at Gomez after terrific hand to hand struggle in which the fed eral loss is given as seven hundred dead. This shows the desperate ma ture of the attack and the stubborn defense put up by the federal troops before they would yield their position. From statements received here 1t would seem that before he succeeded in taking Gomez General Villa was obliged to abandon his attack on other defences of the city and to throw the weight of his entire army against the strongly defended position.
 For more than six hours the suburb Of Torreon was shelled by the rebel batteries before the first assault was made against the entrenchments. When the rebel lines advanced to the
