GERMANS LACK NURSES,
WOUNDED IN GRAVE STATE

PARIS. Sept. 1.-THE nitiable state of
most of the German wounded Is explained
by some of the prisoners as due to a lack
Of nursing. They say the Germans were
30 convinced that they would cross
France and take Paris at the douole
quick. that they did not provide for
wounded. When the famous 10" guns Of
the French began TO make ravages the
German commanders took from the ranks
men best qualified for the work OF car
ing for the wounded, but their services
were quite insufficient.
Yesterday train load OF wounded
comprising a large number OF men in the
imperial guard. arrived In Bordeaux
Nearly all are in a grave state They
were accompanied by a German surgeon
and one nurse OF the imperial guard. All
Of these wounded recognized the good
care they have had since falling in the

BATTLE DEPENDS
ON CROWN PRINCE
Ability Of Him and His Army to
Stand and Fight May Determine
Engagement at Aisne.
TRUCE TALK IS DIsCREDITED
Constant stream Of wOnnded from
the Front DIsprOves Kaiser's
Rumored Desire to Listen TO
SuEEestiOn of Peace

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE rear guard action
supposed at first TO be intended as a
check to facilitate the retreat OF the mass
of the armies Of Generals Won Rluck
and Won Buelow, has developed into
what will probably be called in history
the battle OF Aisne. Whether the Ger
mans found It necessary or advisable to
turn and engage in a general action. this
great battle wages fiercely and rivals in
Importance the battle Of the Marine.
The war office says that the French
have not fIinched at any point. This
sounds as IL. they we're on the defensive
and this might be so in view of the
strength OF the position the Germans oc-
cupy. The official communication Sunday
said that the French and English had
crossed the Aisne If so they have the
river at their back. while the Germans
are strongly entrenched on the heights
Of Baon and Rheims with their right
protected by the Disc and the Aisne at
Norton.
In Pursuit of Crown Prince,
The undetermined element in this fight
is the allies right which is in pursuit Of
the crown princes army. All reports in
dicate that the latter is quite as de-
noralized as was Won Kluck's army and
Is suffering equally from lack of pro-
visions and ammunition. While Won
Illuck has no doubt received what he
needs in this respect It is doubtful II the
crown prince has.
The battle may depend on what condi-
ton the crown prince reaches the front
and whether he can make a stand and
prevent the allies from turning the Ger
man left.
Some of the military experts rtill think
that the Germans hope by this action only
to check the onrush of the allies and that
later they will take up the defensive on
| the Namur line. There was credit even
for a rumor current yesterday that Fan
peror William had ordered General Won
Kluck not to resist in France and that he
was ready to listen to offers of truce
through Pope Benedict XIV Or President
Wilson, but the steady stream Of wounded
| coming from the front seems to 1isprove
this and indicates that the battle viii be
to a finish.

LONDON, sept 17.--(special Cablegram
to the New York World and Omaha Bee. }
Berlin officially announced the fall Of
Maubeuge on September with 400 guns
ard 1000 prisoners
A correspondent of the London Tele-
graph telegraphs from Boulogne that he
was in the vicinity of Maubeuge Sep
tember II and that the forts were still
holding out. The German report of the
fall OF Maubeuge has never been con-
firmed The defense of Maubeuge by
a few hundred intrepid French soldiers. -
says the correspondent, seems to have
been overlooked, almost ignored during
the advance Of the Germans to the gates
OF Paris and their subsequent repulse.
But the resistance of Maubeuge has been
one OF the finest feats of arms in the
campaign. The Germaps invosted Maui
beuge on August 25.
BOmbRrdrl-nt begins.
The bombardment OF the forts by the
oig German siege guns began on Septem-
Der l and has been continued with brief
Intervals Of rest ever since Maubeuge
Is defended by seven forts and each con.
tained on August 25 a garrison of 2lC
men, 1t is impossible to say how many
survive. but 1t is known that in one or
two OF the forts the casualties were large
in proportion.
Ten thousand Of the kaiser's troons
were detached from the main armies to
invest and attack Maubeuge. Each day
at dawn the huge German siege guns be.
gan to hurl missiles at the forts. The
German gunners dropped shell after shell
right on the forts and defenses. The
bombardment is incessaut all the morn

bardment is resumed. So Il goes on
hour after hour, day after day
| 'occasionly the artillery attack is var,
! led by rush of German infantry at the
forts and then the machine guns of the
defenders NOV down the ranks of the
advancing army with terrible precision
Attempts to carry the forts by storm
were frequent at the outset, but heav,
losses inflicted on the Germans led tc
their abandonment in favor of the steady
hail of shells from their Krupp siege
guns.
'on September the German embassy in
Washington gave out two official mes
sages received by wireless from Berlin as
follows:

Maubeuge has fallen. We have cap
tured 400 guns and 1000 prisoners includ.
