ers statement issued Sunday
night, throwing a welcome light
on the previous four days battle
which ended Saturday and which
reflected the greatest credit on
the generalship and discipline o.
the British army.
Within 80 Miles OF Paris Forts.
In spite Of the fact that the
French capital has been removed
to Bordeaux and that the German
army Of the west is within 90
miles Of the outer fortifieations Of
Paris, a strange air Of confidence
prevails to-day among the allies.
The general feeling seems TO pe
that the German attack is wearing
itself out In hammering away at
the allies lines, which Give, but
do not break.
President Poincare has issued a
proclamation TO his people, telling
them that military necessity alone
has led him TO remove his govern
ment to Bordeaux.
Military experts agree that Paris
will soon be the pivot Of the hos
tile forces operating In the area OF
the west. Even the downfall Of
the French capital Is not expected
TO end these operations.
The feeling Of confidence was
greatly increased by the news OF
the great victory OF the Russians
In Gslieia. Reports from Petro-
grad (st. Petersburg) tell Of the
entry Of Russians into Lembera,
the capital Of Galieia. These ap-
pear ereditable as news Of the de-
feat Of the Austrians In this dis
triet has been received from sew
