tries involved. They are endeavoring
to aid the families of the men who
are lighting. It is estimated that
ten thousand French reservists left
this city and most of them were em
ployed as cooks pud waiters in the
big hotels!
Germans Lose Ground.
LONDON, Sept. 11.-The German
army in France has been driven
back, losing thirty-seven miles dur
ing the fighting last night. The Ger
mans were driven back across the
Marne river.
Right Wing In Bad Position.
Several German army corps consti
tuting the right wing of the German
army has been cut off near Compieg
ne and are in a precarious position,
/in fact it is expected that they will
be compelled to surrender or will be
cut to pieces. ,
Relief Fails.
The efforts of the German com
manders to relieve the right wing has
failed and they are being forced fur
ther away from the separated divis
ions all the time and the outlook for
the German force is bad.
German Center Holds.
In spite of every |effort on the
part of the allies to drive back the
German center they still hold and the
allies are now striving to flank the
German positions and by threatening
their communication to cut them Olf
from their source of supplies.
Terrible Battle Still Rages.
The fate of Germany hangs in the
balance on the battle now raging.
Defeat means the retreat of »he Ger
mans across the border and back to
Germany, while success will mean the
besieging of Paris and a conr'nuation
of the war.
Germans Fighting Desperate y.
The German army has been fight
ing desperately for the past week to
hold its position in France until more
troops can be brought from Belgium,
gium.
Terrible Loss of Life.
Reports received here indicate that
the loss of life on both sides l as been
enormous, the Germans fighting in
mass formation, repeatedly charging I
the allies as they advance to drive
back the German forces.
Artillery Also Takes Heavy Toll
The work of the artillery on both
sides has resulted in terrible toss of
life, the gunners placing shells in the
attacking forces and sending thou
sands to instant death.
Maubeuge Embarrassed Germans.
The remarkable resistance of the
French garrison at Maubeuge retard
ed the German advance on Paris and
is largely responsible for the pres
ent serious position of the kaiser’s
soldiers. The garrison of 50,000 men
forced the German general staff to
keep back nearly 300,000 troops from
the main advance and for almost
four weeks they were endeavoring to
take the forts and lost heavily. The
Germans repeatedly attacked the
forts and lost more men in killed
and wounded than were captured
when the forts fell according to one
report received here.
Could Not Leave French In Rear.
Once having passed Maubeuge the
Germans were forced to keep a large
army about the city because if the
French army made a sortie and suc
ceeded in cutting the German line for
one day it would tave seriously em
barrassed the Germans at the front,
who were depending for food and
supplies from Germany.
