der almost to Paris, the allies
picked a series of battle grounds
and turned on their pursuers. The
Germans have been driven back
twenty-five miles all along a cres-
cent shaped line to the northwest,
the north and the east of Paris.
This appears to be the supreme
test, the critical hour, for both
sides in the present phase of the
campaign. The French are put
ting every available man into the
ranks and the British are receiv-
ing a constant supply of fresh
men and munitions from England.
The Germans have brought for

Belgium. 1t is said this infantry

Germans Admit Allies success.

LondOn.-"The first official admis-
sion on the German side of success
by the allies says a Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam, appears
in official communications just issued
in Berlin. General Won Stein an
nounces that the German army, which
had advanced across the Marine to the
east of Paris, was attacked heavily
by the enemy between Paris, Meaux
and Montmirail, The fighting lasted
two days" the report says. The Ger
mans had checked the enemy and even
had advanced, but stronger hostile
columns came to the assistance OF the
allies and the enemy won the battle,
compelling the German troops to re-
tire. Fifty guns were captured by the
allies and some thousands OF men
made prisoners"

London While the latest official
statements give few details of the
great battle which is being waged in
dHSS anu III WHICH approximately
100000 men are engaged, it seems
apparent that the German forces are
still falling back, from the announce
ment that the allies have gained about
thirty-seven miles of territory in their
advance, an increase of twelve in the
operations during the last twenty-four
hours. Both British and French
troops have crossed the River Marine,
the British capturing men and guns,

The Germans have received
their first severe repulse at the
hands of the French British army,
and officially they admit the fact.
Three distinct battles at different
points in fighting line 100 miles
long have been in progress, be-
tween a million and a half men on
a side, for the last week.
After retreating steadily but
skilfully from the Germans for
two weeks straight, fighting in

a large force of Russian troops had

Belgians Assume Offensive.
London.-An Ostend dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company says
that according to information from
a reliable source, the Belgian army at
Antwerp has assumed triumphant
offensive movement, driving the Ger
man right back to the environs of
Louvain.
The country south of Antwerp has
been flooded by the Belgians to pre-
vent the Germans marching into the
town. The area covered by the flood
is seventy miles square. The water
varies in depth at different places
from few inches to several feet.
Maubeuse Still Reslsts.
London.-A dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle says: "The remarkable re-
sistance of the fortress at Maubeuge
to the invading Germans is one of the
most interesting features of the cam
paign. Because OF its stubborn stand
it undoubtedly has embarrassed the
Germans seriously in bringing up field

Allies Lines Hold.
London.-German reinforcements es.

The dispatch says a German army
corps seems to be marching to the
south, passing between Oudenarde,
East Flanders and Grammont. 1t
probably is intended to reinforce the
German right wing, which has suf-
fered a check in France.
Since Monday, adds the dispatch,
numerous German fugitives from the
battle in France have been seeking
refuge in Dottignies forest, between
Courtral and Herseaux.

official added that the fact probably
would be officially announced soon.
1t might seem incredible that a
great movement of troops could be
carried out without becoming known

European governments during this
war have been found to be so aston
fishing that such feat of mystifica-
tion is by no means impossible.
