Bordeaux, Sept 17.-7:40 p. NJ
The official world of France awaits
with optimism the result OF the great
battle in northern France. The Ger.
mans undoubtedly have received
fresh supplies OF men and ammuni-
tion, but probably less than the
French. The French troops, in the
opinion of the Temps military ex-
pert, flushed with victory, have an
advantage over the enemy, who has
been in retreat.
Prisoners from the battle of the
Marne continue to pour into Bor-
deaux, but so discreetly has their
transportation been arranged that
the people of the city hardly are
aware of their presence. Eight hun

SHAMELESS
HORRIBLE SCENES ON BATTLE

London, Sept. 1S.-2:45 a. NJ
Newspaper correspondents describe
horrible scenes ON battlefields aban-

last week, says the Morning Posts
Petrograd correspondent.
Streams, they say, were choked
with slain men, trodden down in the
headlong flight till the waters were
damned and overflowing the banks.
Piles Of dead are awaiting burial or
burning. Hundreds of acres are sowa
with bodies and Uttered with weap-
ons and battle debris while wounded
and riderless horses are careering
madly over the abandoned country.
THE line of retreat of the Austro-
German forces was blocked with
debris of every kind-valuable mill
tary supplies, telegraph and tele-
phone installations, light railway and
other stores, bridging material; in
fact everything needed by a modern
army, was flung away in flight.
More than 1000 wagons with commits

at is not at all astonishing that
Russians use purely strategic confen-

false reports, but the cautious way n
which this was done does best prove
that our own official war reports de-

All reports both from Petrograd

or paint in gloomier coiors, the criti-

to arrest the advance Of the main
Russian army in Germany, have had
the tables turned on them by the Rus

In Belgium there has been a con

been a feature of the war since the
Germans advanced into France, with
advances and Withdrawals as daily

Besides the eastern portion of tho

almost to Tournai, in the department
of Hainaut, thus preventing the Bel
