PARIS. September 20, 2:2s PM:
The reports which are coming to hand
make it possible to record each day

success obtained by our recent Of

The Germans have not only been COM
PEELED to abandon along an extended
front certain positions strongly in

they had been ordered TO resist to
the very end, but they have suffered
losses the total of which in killed,
wounded ana prisoners amounts to
more than the effective strength of
three army corps (l20.OUO mem. The
total number of prisoners Is at the
present time in excess of 1900 men;
the number of cannon brought to our
rear is 70; 1860 private soldiers and
316 officers, taken prisoners by US,
already have gone through the town
OF Chalons on their way to points
where they are to be informed.
Organized efforts are at present under
way to clear up the field of battle and
to take definite count of the arms of
all kinds and of the war material
belonging to the artillery and in
fantry branches which the enemy has
been compelled to abandon to US.
In the Artois district the progress re-
ported Yesterday to the east of Sou

and in the course of last night. after
stubborn engagement. we reached

When one delegate soaked another dele

other parliamentary tactics, the body
knocked off for the night without decid-
