THE Germans are displaying an in

Evening star., 1914-10-02
WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The turning movement of the
allied armies in northern France
has brought the extreme Of their
left wing within about thirty
miles Of the Belgian frontier. An
official statement issued by the
French war Office at 8 o'clock this
afternoon says that that part, of
the battle line stretching gener-
ally north and south has been ex-
tended north to a point south of
Arras. This line, on which the
allies are attempting to envelop
the German right wing, under
Gen. Won Kluck, has been pushed
gradually toward the Belgian
border as the Germans widened
their front in defense until it ex-
tends some ffty-fve miles from
the angle that rests on Tracy-le-
Mont.
Terrific fighting continues on the
allies left wing, according to the
Paris statement, the most severe
struggle being in the region of
Roye, a town twenty-six miles
east of Amiens and about mid
way on this battle line. Here
the Germans have concentrated
strong forces, probably with the
purpose of breaking through the
front Of the allies and isolating
their forces to the north.
French claims of slight gains in
the Woevre district are recorded,
as are minor engagements at va
rious points on the front extend
ing east and west.
In a statement received by
wireless from Berlin, the German
headquarters announced that the
great battle in France remains
undecided. The Germans, with
their heavy artillery, are hammer
ing the positions of the allies at
many points. The latter were re-
pulsed in their attempts to break
the German lines. The German
statement says that the heaviest
losses have been in the Argonne
region.
A Petrograd correspondent
says that the Germans from four
points are attempting to concen-
trate on southern Russian Poland,
where a decisive battle is ex-
pected.
Dispatches from London indi-
cate that the expected battle be-
tween the Russians and the allied
armies of Germany and Austria
at Cracow has begun.
