London. Sept. 14-'Incontestable" Is
the adjective used by General Joffre
commander in chief of the French
forces, In describing the victory claim
ed by the allies along the western
battle front. The latest ofncial COM
imunication from Paris indicates that
the advance ts continuing all along the
/ limo with the allies left wing now
across the river Aisne.
Little news and that of the vaguest
sort filters through from Germany re-
garding the operations in the west
though 1t is evident from the tone OF
Berlin oficial statements that the
people are being warned not to be too
optimistic as certain reverses may be
expected The latest actual battle
news in Berlin describes sortie from
Paris on Sept. 6 which it is stated has
been repulsed.
AustrIans Still Fight.
Dispatches from many sources in
cluding Vienna indicate that the Aus
trian army in Galicia is in sore straits,
but the story of its complete destruc-
ton is evidently exaggerated as the
latest Russian reports indicate that
General Ruzskys forces are still meet
Ing with organized resistance. 1t is
evident however, from the disposition
Of the combatants that the Austrian
center was crumpled up while the left
wing was hurled back into the marshes
Of the river San. This left wing, COM
posed of the flower of the Austrian
troops, may be caught in trap, max
Ing unconditional surrender the only
alternative to destruction. The official
statements given out In Petrograd say
that General Rannenkampff in East
Prussia is stubbornly retiring before
a superior force rather than risk the
thrning of his left flank by the Ger
mans
The Belgian mobile force has return
ed to its Antwerp base with the Of
fetal explanation that it has served
It's purpose in preventing German re-
inforcements from joining the army in
France. This force operated for four
days In the Brussels-Louvain-Ma Malines
triangle forcing the Germans to aban-
don much of that portion of Belgium.
In connection with this movement II
is reported that the Belgians are cut
ting German communications. Other
sources declare that the Belgians were
compelled to retire because the Ger
mans were strongly reinforced from
Liege. One of the most interesting ru-
mors coming out of Belgium is re-
port in Paris newspaper that the
German government of the occupied
Belgian territory entered Antwerp un-
der an agreement of safe conduct in
a fruitless attempt to come to an
agreement with the Belgian govern
ment.
Austria Fears Italy.
Italy is still preserving neutrality,
but Joined the triple entente ambassa-
dors in a protest against the revocation
of the capitulations by Turkey.
Austria evidently fears hostile action
on the part of Italy, according to news
