GERMANS ADVANCING ON PARIS
SUVS ANNIHILATED IITH TURKISH ARMY CORP
GERMANS CAIN TRENCHES KILL 30,000 FRENCH
FIGHTING IN SOISSONS
REGARDED AS GREAT
GERMAN SUCCESS.
COI’KNIIAUKN, Jun 18.—Herlln bul
letins declare that the Kaiser Is per
sonally commanding the new Uennau
offensive movement against the enemy’s
center.
At noon Saturday the Germans had
punctured the Allies line of trenches
near the river Aisne between Soissons
and Kelins. These trenches were built
tier upon tier but were abandoned before
the German rushes. Today experts re
gard the righting in the Soissons region
as the greatest military success for the
Germans during tile past three months.
It is believed tliul General Joffre's
offensive movement is broken down and
he will be compelled to tight on the de
fensive. The lighting at the center
has been the most bloody of tile war
in which the French have lost severely
by the heavy German artillery which
swept their trenches. It is estimated
that the French losses in the Soissons
region battles amount to thirty thou
sand killed. The German operations at
the center have reliev ed the allied pres
sure on the German left wing in the
Argonne-Verdun regions and will check
further offensive operations by the
enemy In that direction.

in n most masterly manner. The Ger

slaughter.

PARIS, Jan. 18.—The Germans have
commenced a terrible artillery assault
on the Allied lines northeast of Reims
and are pressing forward echelons of
infantry covered by scores of heavy
artillery . The latest advices received
at Paris indicate that the Germans are
desperately trying to drive a wedge
into General Joffre's center to be used
as a lever to drive back the Allies.
The figiiting is the most desperate
and sanguinary with tho French ten
aciously holding their lines in spite of
tho terrible pounding which tho trench
es are subjected to by the great Ger
man seigo guns which have been
brought to tho front.
ALSACE SITUATION
REMAINS UNCHANGED.
PARIS, Jan. 18.—The Alsace situa
tion today is bulletined by the war of
fice as being without change. General

JOFFRE FOIL8 KAISER'S
PLAN OF CONCENTRATION.
LONDON, Jan 18.—The Germans
have begun their general offensive
movement against the allies pressing
I the second attempt to reach Paris. The
i Kaiser Is on the battle front and Is
personally directing the movement of
the German armies.
Lord Kltchner asserts that the
French owe the present safety of their
capital almost entirely to the fact of
the daring aero operators who caught
the Kaiser In the act of withdrawing
his reserves from his right and left
wings and concentrating them at the
'center. Thp German concentration I
j which was to t>e almost east of Purls,
! was foretold by the aero scouts and;
] according to semi-official utterances to- j
I night was foiled by eGneral Joffre’s j
| strategically maneuvering the French
so splendidly that the Germans dared
not carry out the plan of concentration I
which would have so weakened the
i right and left wings that the allied
forces would have been enabled to
strike effective blows, endangering the
whole German battle line. Joffre is
given great credit for the manner in
which he has met the situation and i
military critics say that he has un
doubtedly foiled the Kaiser’s second at
tempt to reach the capital.
