Tells Of Taking German FLAG.

Partisan officer of a French rife
regiment gives to the Petit Troyen the
following account of the capture OF the
first German flag:
The engagement OF the French
troops with the N~inety-nlnth brigade
of Germans lasted from $50 a.. m. to
9 at night.
THE artillery combat was terrible.
The French 75-millimeter guns made
havoc among the German horses and
then reduced the heavy German guns
to silence. The gunners were decim-
ated by the French fire and they aban.
doned their pieces, which fell into
French hands.
THE German machine guns from a
church steeple continued to ravage the
French, but the church finally was de-
molished.
AT nightfall the French charged
the enemy's defense work with IRE
sistible energy and took them at the
point Of the bayonet. They estab.
lished themselves there for the night.
In this action the Fifth company
Of the First battalion captured a Ger.
man flag, with eight guns, 80 horses
and 537 prisoners, including ten Off
GERS"

All lights at Antwerp are out at 8

Paris.-The war office has issued
the following announcement:
The commandments being in

dered the progressive evacuation Of all
occupied territory. ,
Mulhausen has again been evacuated
by the French.
A new battle is in progress between

it hangs the fate of France. Opera
lions in Alsace along the Rhine would
take away troops on which might de-

they all withdraw from Alsace tempo
rarily, to assure it's final deliverance.
1t is a matter of hard necessity.
West of the Mouse, as a result Of
orders issued by the commanding
chief, the troops which are to remain
on the covering line to take up the
defensive are massed as follows:
The French and British troops oc-
cupy a front near Givet, which they

admirable dash. The Sixth corps no

Paris.-Russia's sensational advance
with a mighty force, o~verrunning East
ern Prussia, continues to be the mar
vel OF the military situation. Just as
the allies were outnumbered a few
days age in Belgium 50 are the Ger
mans outnumbered by the Russians. 1t
is believed this is the key to the kali
ser's downfall, as the czar is moving to-
ward Berlin faster than the kaiser is
moving toward France, either from
the east or north.
A military expert declares. he has au-
thority for the statement that Germans
will eventually fall back on the Oder
river as a line Of defense and give
army operating against France time to
deal allies a death blow and march
on Paris.
st. Petersburg.-The Germans In the
Elbing district of West Prussia, near
the Vistula river, are fleeing westward
before the Russian advance.
Copenhagen.-BeTlin newspapers re-
ceived here admit that the German de-
feat by the Russians in East Prussia
has been serious, but they explain
that the unfortunate position Of East
Prussia, bounded on the south by Rus
sian soil, made retreat necessary, quite
apart from the fact that they were at
tackled by a strongly superior force.
One newspaper says the population
is fleeing from the country and a relief
committee has therefore been formed
at Berlin.
Won Maerb admits that the Germans
are in a dangerous position, but hopes
that soon they will be able to stop the
Russian advance.
The Cologne Gazette states that the
battle In Lorraine with the French con
sisted of 100000 on either side, the
greatest numbers yet engaged In the

Thirty Miles,

Paris.-The following official an.
nouncement was issued here:
"A great battle is now in progress

fensive. We are faced by almost the
whole German army, both active and
reserve.
"The ground, especially on our
right, is thickly wooded and difficult.
The battle is likely to last several
days.
1.-THE enormous extent of the front
and the great number of forces in,
volved make it impossible to follow
step by step the movements of each of
our armies. We must await the re.
suit of the first phase of the combat
before we a form any conclusion as

be giving to the press divergent and
contradictory news, since such a bat.

backed their steeds into the closely
packed ranks Of the spectators, threat
ening them with uplifted swords and
sitting the momentary revolt.
At one point of the march a lame
hawker offered flowers for sale TO the
soldiers. As he held up his posies a
captain Of hussars, by a movement o.
his steed, sent the poor wretch sprawl
ing and bleeding in the dust. Then
from the crowd a French woman, her

This particularly irritated the Bel

any overt manifestation or any un-
pleasant feature of behavior.
The soldiers az they passed tore re-
peatedly at the national colors, when
every Belgian lady now wears on her

Refuse Gold In Payment.
A more pleasant incident was whel
a party of Uhlans clamored for admit
lance at a villa on the Louyain road.
They disposed of a dozen bottles or
wine and bread and meat. The non
commissioned officer In command
asked what the charge was and offered
some gold pieces in payment. The
money was refused.
Near the steps Of st. Gudule a party
of officers OF high rank seated In a
motor car, confiscated the stock OF

scanning the sheets they burst into
loud laughter.
March Forward for Hours.
Hour after hour, hour after hour,

sixth. Not one mar OF these regi-
ments showed any, sign of excessive

marching, and no doubt the order to
break step was designedly givenF to
impress the onlookers with the pow
prs Of resistance Of the German sol
iiers.
The railway stations, the post Office,
and the town hall were at once closed.
The national flag on the latter was
down and the German emblem
in Its place. Practically all
shops were closed and the blinds
lrawn on most OF the windows.

London.-Namur has fallen. The
fortress upon which the allies placed
dependence to hold in check the ad-
vancing hordes of the German main
strength after they swept past Liege
has given away before the advance OF
the enemy.
The news came as a surprise, but
was officially confirmed. The war Of
flee in giving out the tidings added
this significant note:
"This necessitates the withdrawal Of
a portion of the allied troops from the
line of the Sambre to their original
defensive position on the French from
tier"
Namur is at the junction Of the
Meuse and Sambre Rivers. Its fall
without a word of warning of any such
prolonged siege of guns as was deemed
necessary to reduce it to submission
before the German advance indicates
that the attack must have been sud
den, sharp and terrific and that the
main strength of the German field
forces must have been centered for
the time being on this one objective.
Paris.-The French war office is
sued the following announcement:
1.-THE French and English, the plan
Of attack having failed, owing to un-
foreseen difficulties, have retired on
the covering positions.
West of the Mouse the English
army on our left was attacked by the
Germans, but behaved admirably, hold
ing its ground with traditional stead
fastness.
"As a result Of the orders which
have been issued the aspect Of the
struggle will change for a few days.
The French army will remain for a
time on the defensive, but at the right
moment, to be decided upon by the
commandments, it will resume a
vigorous offensive"
