lug TO the most authentic reports
from several sources, TIA" German
effort to surround the allies who
Were slowly retrcating toward
Paris failed completely.
The vast circling movement.
which the main German army de
scribed for a week, was admitted
to have been for naught on Sep
tc!nber $, and the reaetive move
mcnt by the allies drove back the
invaders temporarily. The allies
advanced their left wing several
miles without serious opposition
After short rest, however. the
Germans have strengthened their
forces and faced again southwark
and westward. and a great battle
throughout the length of the 120-
mile line of conflict has begun.
II the Germans succeed now in
breaking the opposition of the
smaller allied army. it appears
certain th,y will throw their su-
preme force against the defcnses
of Paris and make one tremcnd-
oIls effort to take the city.
Native Revolt In Austria.
Dispatches from Vienna and Petro-
grad tthe Russian government has
changed the name of its capital city
from St. Petersburg to Petrograd)
state that the Russ occupation of the
province OF Bukawina was made with
the assistance of the population which
turned against the Austrian soldiers.
The inhabitants of this territory are
Slavic and sympathize with Russia.
Great Britain has ordered the Ger
man and Austrian consuls from Egypt.
England exercises somewhat the same
control over Egypt that the United
States holds over Cuba-though the
British control is stronger. Britain
fears a revolt of natives in Egypt and
a massacre of the small English col
ony and garrison. The Germans and
Austrians have been directly accused
OF fomenting en- uprising of Moslems
against Christians.
The situation in Turkey remains
