(Continued from page 1.)
German Victory Over Russians.
The war office has officially an
nounced another victory over the
Russian troops in East Prussia and
the soldiers of the czar are reported
as fleeing to the Russian border in
disorder, having left thousands of
prisoners with the victorious Ger
mans iind have abandoned large sup
plies of stores.
Russians Claim Credit Allies Victor
ies.
PETROGRAD. Sept, lfi.—The Rus
sian government today stated that
the credit for the victories of the
combined French and English armies
in France was due largely to the
prompt action of the war department
in invading East Prussia and forcing
the Germans to send large reinforce
ments to the east and thus weaken
ing the German army in France.
Started Before Ready.
Because of the large territory of
Russia and its poor railroad facilities
as compared with the big systems
and dense population of Germany and
Austria, the speed of the Russian
mobilization is considered here a won
derful achievement. The attack on
East Prussia was commenced before
the Russian armies were prepared
and this is given as the reason for
the failure of the Rusians in the
campaign against the Germans.
British Say German Army Scattered.
LONDON, Sept. 16.—With the
German army under General Rup
prechts, that under General Al
brecht and the forces commanded by
General von Herringen thrown back
upon the German border by the al
lies, the fate of the three remaining
armies of the German force in France
is in doubt, and because of the scat
tered pos'tions in wrhich they have
been left unable to aid one anoth
er and the main German army forc
ed back and unable to succor them
the German invasion is near an end
and the three armies in France, brok
en and disheartened, may be eaptur
ed within a short time.
Allies Pounding Away.
The allies continue to pound away
at the German positions and th«
fighting of the past few days has cosi
many lives, both sides losing heav
ily. The Franco-British lines contin
ue to advance and the Germans art
now being forced across the bordei
into Germany and Luxemburg.
German Army Scattered.
The force of troops commanded by
General Rupprecht, and which was
massed at a point half way between
the fortified French camps at Verdun
and Touts, has been beaten back in
to Germany and is retiring towards
Metz. It has been separated from
thee main army, which is reetiring
into Luxemburg, while the extreme
right is falling back along the Na
mur. (’
Allies Expected to Follow Up Ad
vantage.
The allies are placing every avail
able man in the field in an effort to
crush several of the units of the Ger
man army before it can be re-formed
in Germany. The three armies still
in France are in danger of being
surrounded unless they retire imme
diately.
More Russians In Belgium.
Another eexpedition of Russian and
English troops is reported to have
been landed in Belgium this morning
and are being rushed towards Brus
sels, which is held by the Germans,
who are in danger of beeing cut off
from the main German army at Liege
thirty-three miles away.
Allies and Opponents In Touch.
PARIS, Sept. 16.—It is officially
announced that the allies are in close
contact all along the front, which
reaches from the Meuse to Argonne.
The allies are fighting to drive the
invaders across the border and take
the scattered parts of the German
army.
Deny Crown Prince Besieging Verdun.
The war office denies that the Ger
man army under the crown prince is
besieging the fortified city of Verdun.
They claim that the German solid
front has been broken and that the
German army has been broken into
six parts, three of which still remain
in France.
Paris Preparing for Siege.
The preparations started when the
German army broke through the
French line of fortifications to place
Paris in position to withstand a siege
still continue and new forts are be
ing built and entrenchments dug in
case of need.

well-dressed man. The real fashion artist—and there are
only a few real ones—designs clothes that have the spark of
lively style, but are never foppish and conspicuous.
