Paris.-A communique issued by
the War Office announces that the
French have abandoned operations
entirely in Alsace, evacuating Muel-
hansen, which has been the centre
of fighting for several weeks and
which has been captured and twice
retaken. The troops withdrawn from
there will be used to REINFORCE the
main line of the Allies between
Maubeuge, south of Namur, and Doncn
in the central Vosges, a distance of
about 100 miles.
The War Office announcement fol-
lows:
1.-The commander in chief, requiring
all available forces on the Mouse, has
ordered the progressive abandonment
Of occupied territory. M~uelhausen
has again been evacuated.
"a new battle is in progress be-
tween Maubeuge Department of the
Nord) and Donon Department of
Muerthe-et-Moselle). On it hangs the
fate of France"

ed in the House of Commons that
the British casualties in the with
drawal of the British troops to the
positions assigned to them in the re-
construction Of the allied lines were
more than 1000.
The Premier confirmed the report
that the British troops had fallen
back and said that the withdrawal
from the position near Mons had been
accomplished successfully, according
to a despatch received from Sir John
French, commander in chief of the
British expeditionary force.

THE army of the Duke of Wuertem-
berg, marching through Belgium, has
crossed the River Semois, completely
crushing the advancing French army.
Numerous guns, e~nsigns, prisoners
and several generals were captured.
The German troops advancing west of
the River Mouse towards Maubeuge
defeated an English cavalry brigade.
The River Semois, Longwy and the
greater part of the Belgo-French from

centric advance of all the German

keep the wounded away from Paris
There is always the possibility Of an
epidemic in a great city--and there is
the fact that the air here is not as
healing as It is on the coast--and still
the reason has not been reached.
Paris is the very heart Of France.
While she is brave. SO France is brave.
When she becomes hysterical the
nerve Of France goes. It is considered
best to keep from Paris every sight
and sound and suggestion that may
lead her to reflect upon the frightful
cost In blood and tears Of a great war;

Imagine Paris-neurotic, emotional,
easily stirred Paris--watching the
trains Of injured men come in, and
waking at night to listen to the rum

Therefore the wounded are to be

all events. kept out of Paris as long
as possible.

and sent a shot across the bows Of the

At length, apparently satisfied As to
the identity Of the Italian, the search
light was turned OF and the outlines
Of the cruiser stood out black against
the sky. Presently a boat pulled away
and quickly came under the Ice OF the
liner. A scaling ladder was dropped
over the side and up scrambled two
young officers and several lnarihes.
While the Germans chattered in ex-
cited groups the British visitors sought
out the captain on the bridge. After
half hours suspense the boarders
departed and the steamer got under
way.
Sinister, signs later in the morning

have had. Side gangways were made

BELGIAN LOSES
CONTINUE HIGH
They are Succeeding, How.
ever, in Keeping Ger
man Lines Back.

London, Sept. 16.-A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from
Antwerp contains the following OFF,
cial communication issued by the Bel
Sian government:
after four days Of hard fighting
our field troops, which left fortified
positions at Antwerp to, attack the
German forces in the Bruasels-Lou-
vain-Malines triangle, have returned
within the outer ring OF the Antwerp
fortiflcations.
''The sortie, which at first seemed to
covering troops left by the enemy in
front Of Antwerp, developed into an
action on an extensive scale. The
enemy's position was very strong,
owing to the nature Of the ground and
the earthworks thrown up during the
last fortnight.
1.-THE necessity for holding this posi-.
tton at all costs obliged the enemy ia
call for all available forces. Thus the
third German army corps, which had
left Ninove for Nedebraeckel returned
hastily, and the ninth corps, which was
already marching southwark on the
Audenarde-Ruyen road, was likewise
recalled.
Moreover, landwehr and landsturn
detachments stationed to the south Of
Brussels. as we'll as $4,000 marines
who arrived at Brussels some days
ago. took part in the fighting.
1.-THE result attained is Of capital
importance from the point Of view 81
the allies staffs, since, in consequence
Of our Intervention the German army
corps have been unable to go to the
assistance Of the German armies
which are retreating in France. 80,
Constant Menace to Germans.
'In view Of this concentration 81 ali
the German forces available in thi.
vicinity our army found itself, at The
end OF the fourth day, in the presence
Of superior numbers, whereupon It re.
turned to Antwerp.
"Our army continues to be q con.
stant menace to the Germans and viii
oblige them to immobilize important
forces, which. eyld entity. are needed ur.
gently.:.in France. ~, ''1',:5'S
"The losses on both sides during the
four days Of fighting have been heavy
testifying to the stubbornness Of the
conflict. The fire OF the Germans was
very poor, however, and the wounds
sustained by our men, generally speak
ing. were Of a slight character.

REPUBLICANS, HARD PRESS
ED FOR AN ISSUE, MAKE
SILLY CHARGES AGAINST
DEMOCRATS.

a special Washington dispatch to the
N. Y. World recently says:
Chairman Doremus of the Democratic
National Congressional Committee issued
the following statement in answer to the
statement sent out by the National Re-
publican Congressional Committee, which
accused President Wilson of entering
into campaign bargain with Andrew
Carnegie and James j. Hill:
I'm view of the fact that the Demo-
cratic National Congressional Committee
is having difficulty in paying its printing
and postage bills and cannot send speak
ers into the States unless they pay their
own travelling expenses, the story that
Andrew Carnegie and James j. Hill
are financing the committees campaign
can only be regarded by those familiar
with the truth as huge joke.
'This latest campaign canard comes
with poor grace from party whose Or
CARNATIONS in days gone by have not
hesitated to levy tribute upon the gigan-
tic corporations whom it has favored by
legislation, and from whose fat-frying
processes even the poor civil service EN-
ployes have not been immune.
- Collecting at the source was sci
entifc process with our opponents long
before the Income Tax law was enacted.
AS proof of this, witness the revelations
of the Senate Investigation into the
campaign contributions of Mr. Archbold
of Standard Oil and kindred interests.
Disappointed in their expectation of
riding back into power over the prostrete
form Of American industry, our Repub-
lican friends some time ago seized upon
the canal tolls repeal as the issue upon
which to regain control of Congress. But
here they were again disappointed. The
tolls repeal measure involved primarily
the construction Of a treaty, upon which
equally honest men in all parties dis.
agreed, and the record shows that it
would not have passed Congress save for
Republican votes.

GET A MAN WHO KNOWS.

Frederick City is wise in employing
an expert hydraulic engineer to unravel
her water problems. Most people, when
they want anything done right, so to
the best equipped person to provide it
for them-a doctor for your ailments, a
minister for spiritual affairs and lawyer
to help you when in legal trouble. If
you take your own case in any of these
matters you only have fool for client.
Many of our aldermen have individual
views on the water question, and this is as
it should be, but they should wait until
someone, who ought in the natural order
of things knowsmore on, this subject than
they do, lines up the proposition for
them. Then if not satisfied they can get
another authority and have battle of
the experts. Even if some money is
spent on proper advice (and that is the
only way you can get the right kind)
the city in the future will be the better
off for it. There is something admit
tedly wrong with our water supply at
this end or the other, and to have the
matter fixed right would appear to us to
be the proper dope. The people do not
mind spending money when they know
it is to be properly applied. This water
question is an old one, and, despite
other things that require money and
which are of great Importance to the
community, there is only one way to
handle the subject and that is to get a
man who knows and then do as he ad-
vises. And it need not require bond
issue either.
