the German right in the direction of

ment made by the French ministry of
war at Paris Sunday night. The an

British Hold Right Wing.
The British troops, which form the
right wing of the army of the allies,
are strongly intrenched and are await
ing the coming of the Germans. A
statement made public by Earl Kitch-
ener, secretary for war, says the Brit

great battle. At present the British
are not being attacked, and they have
done no fighting since the close OF the
great four days battle in the Mons dis
trict, in which, Earl Kitchener admits,
the English lost between 5000 and
5000 men. Other messages say
French troops have resumed the Of

A turn in the fortunes of war in
favor of the allies is believed to come
through the concentration of the g.
100000 soldiers on Frances second
line of defense and through the sue
cesses of the Russians in east Prussia.

the attack of Frances army, which is
now operating under the protection of
the guns of the strongest fortresses
in the world.

announced that it has been decided to
call out the class of 1914, which will
give at least 100000 additional troops,
and also to call out the active re-
serves and the eldest class OF the ter
