ARMIES EXHAUSTED
BUT STILL FIGHTING
(Continued from page 1.)
pel them to protect the line of com
munications north.
More Germains Go Into Belgium.
The German general stafT have sent
several hundred thousand more
troops into Belgium from Aix-la
Chapelle to protect the line of re
treat. The report that Mons was
burning Indicates that the Germans
are being pushed back and that the
allies are gaining some advantage.
The prompt rushing of reinforce
ments from Germany also indicates
that the kaiser’s officers are in fear
and will take no chance.
No More Mast Attacks.
LONDON, Sept. 29.—Both contend
ing armies have abandoned the mass
attack in the center because of the
almost exhausted condition of the
men, who are no longer able to as
sault the entrenchments.
Which Ever Side Gives Ground Is
Doomed.
OSTEND, Sept. 29.—Military men
here say that which ever side gives
ground now in the bnttle of the
Aisne is doomed to a terrible defeat,
as the men, having been on the fir
ing line for several weeks, constantly
battling, sleeping in the open and in
leg cold trenches and often (tilled
with water, are unable to re-form and
the side that gives will be forced to
make some unskillful rearrangement
of the battle line, which would quick
ly decide the battle and possibly with
it the war.
Antwerp Garrison Again Active.
ANTWERP, Sept. 29—The garri
son today made a sudden sortie from
the forts, struck the Germans ad
vancing towards this city, inflicted a
defeat and are still engaging the en
emy, who have re-formed. The gar
rison will continue to make softies,
retiring whenever the Germans bring
superior numbers and thus force
them to keep a large force in north
ern Belgium, which might otherwise
be sent to aid the invaders of
France.
British Are Good Rifle Shots.
OSTEND, Sept. 29.—The French
and German soldiers are exception
ally poor rifle shots according to the
military men here, while the British
have demonstrated considerable abil
ity with the rifle and have taught
the Germans what it means to attack
any entrenchments held by the Brit
ish.
Outbreak cf Typhoid In Germany.
LONDON. Sept. 29.—It is reported
here that 700 Germans have died at
Theremonde, in Belgium, from the ef
fects of typhoid.
Allies Cannot Capture St. Quentin.
The strong entrenchments pint up
by the Germans at St. Quentin have
held out against every assault of the
French, who have tried to take the
city, which is the key to the German
position along the Aisne. Its fall
would compel the Germans to retire.
The German army engineers have
constructed a field fort which seems
impossible to take by assault. The
entrenchments are constructed so
that the Germans can retire from
them without being exposed to the
fire of the French. They are inter
locked with each other. The barb
wire entanglements have been rein
forced with iron wire and the deep
gulches have been planted with point
ed sticks, making it impossible for
the troops to cross, while hidden
machine guns protect the approaches.
Aviators Direct Artillery Fire.
The German army aviators direct
the artillery fire against the French
and allies and continue to search out
the weak spots in the allies lines for
assault, |
Germans Bombard Malines.
The Germans are again bombard
ing Malines forty miles north of Brus
sels. The Belgian-Brltlsh troops are
attacking the German force and ex
pect to rout them.
Russians Expect Enter Berlin Jan
uary 1.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 29.—The Rus
sian army will enter Berlin by Jan
uary 1 Is the expectation of the Rus
sian military experts, who are sure
the next battle on the East Prussian
frontier will result in a victory* for
the Russians.
Russian Armies Cannot Be Stopped.
They point out the inability of the
Germans to stop the Russian advance
because it is spread from Galicia to
the Baltic and while one or even
two of the Russian armies might be
stopped the others would push on and
the kaiser’s armies cannot meet all
Russian forces at one time.
Czar’s Forces Control Carpathian
Passes.
The Russian troops now control all
the mountain passes in the Carpath
ian mountains and have strongly for
tled them to prevent any attempt to
strike the flank of the Russian army
moving into Germany via Cracow.
The advance continues with startling
rapidity.
Germans Standing Near Breslau.
The Germans are making a stand
near Breslau, where they have been
feverishly digging new trenches,
building entanglements, erecting barb
wire fences, planting mines and pre
paring for the Russians, but as the
spying system of the Russians *s ex
cellent most of the plans are already
known and little trouble is expected
in forcing the German army to en
ter the Breslau forts to be cooped
up while the mass of the Russians
push their way into Germany.
Kaiser Directing Russian Operations.
It Is persistently deported here
that Kaiser Wilhelm is personally dl
reeling the military operations in
East Prussia, where the fate of his
empire hangs by a thread and a
Russian victory means the end of
his rule.
Secret Wireless Located Near Frisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.—'The
secret service men of the State de
partment have located a secret wire
less plant of powerful sending and
receiving ability near this city, ac
cording to a report published in lo
cal papers today. The location of the
plant is not given but is believed to
be on Mount Tamalpais.
Germans Gaining In Center.
The Germans still gain ground at
Reims in spite of the efforts of the
allies to hold them, but General Jof
fre refuses to weaken the allies left,
which is making gains, to reinforce
the center and expects to stop the
'Germans before they can pierce the
line of entrenchments.
German Attacks Repulsed.
The German attacks till along the
line held by the Franeo-Brltish
troops have been repulsed with heavy
losses. For three days the Germans
have assaulted the trenches without
success.
German Right Weakening.
The German right is slowly weak
ening and the weight of great, num
bers is expected to tell within a few
hours, as the allies are attacking von
Kluck and General Boehm, both hold
ing positions on the right, the one
at Compiegne and the other at Mons
and should either be driven back the
German position is helpless.
Allies Hopeful Center Can Hold.
The result depends entirely upon
whether the Germans give way first
on the right or the French at Reims.
The first side to give way will lose
the battle, which has been going on
for twenty days.
