FULL STORY OF BATTLE OF
 THE MARINE
Continued from Page D

in his order of the day, concluding with:
 An army which can longer ad- vance, must hold, and if it can not hold, must die"
 At daybreak on the 9th Maunoury's reserves struck, full in Won Kluck's flank. Evidently the latter's intelH- gence department had failed signally. Had he known of the presence of Mauroury's army in and north of Paris, and at least eight divisions strong, he would not have dared turn his flank to it the way he did, am told he thought, as did Von Buelow, that there was only one army in Paris and that it would be held for the capi- tars defense. AS a matter of fact there were two-the Army of Paris and the Army of Maunoury.
 In the meantime the British, with five infantry divisions and five brig ades of cavalry. were moving north eastward with comparatively little resistance. By night htye had reach ed a position astridc the Grand Morin, their right being at Dagny, on the Aubetiu River.
 Further east the fighting had been much hotter for here it was a frontal attack. DEspcrey had to carve hrs way forward and he did not get far on the 9th. He had against him the bulk of Von K,uck's army; the West phalians, HanoverianS and Brandon burghers. Foch, with his Ninth Re serves. east of DESperey not only had Von Buclow opposing him but the right wing of Won Hausen's SaXonS. The Duke of Wurtemberg met attack with attack when Langle's Fourth Army struck at him near Vitry and did his best to break through. The resul. was standstill fight
 Sarrail, around Verdun, had tc,r less lucky, for the German Crown Prince and the Crown Prince of Bavaria struck with all their might hoping to take Verdun, the forts along the Heights of the Mouse and so .urn the French right. They gain ed some ground, though they failed in their greater task.
 On the Eth the fighting was resum- ed more ferce'y than ever. Maun- ourys fauking movement went for ward with a dash and the British Were carried along with it. The plateaus along the River Owcq were piles high with German dead. Elsewhere, despite desperate attacks the French merely held their own
 The S,h seems Co have been the critical day. Manoury kept up his ad- vance with the British on his right while Foch saw the opening for his wedge. During the night he continu- ed his manouyres so that at dawn on the 9th he was pounding away at a large gap between Von Hausen and Von Buelow, at the same time, with his left he. too, struck at Won Buc- lows right. uncovered by Maunoury and the British.
 The retreat of Von Buelow imposed. Caught in a pocket only a rapid re- tirement could save him and his army. This he did very cleverly. Staff of fcers declare only genius could have extricated himself, for, at times, un- der violent shellfre from the French S-inch rapid-fre field pieces, his troops showed signs of panic.
 The retreat of Von Kluck was fol- lowed by that of von BuelOw and the other commanders eastward to the VOsges. The German army is expect ed to make a stand on the Aisne, north of which a high tableland of fers what is consideed one of the greatest defenses in Europe. Unless they hold there it is believed they will lose all they have gained
