FULL STORY OF
BATTLE OF
THE MARNE
(Continued from Huge 1)
in his order of the day, concluding
with:
“An army which can longer ad
vance, must hold, and if it can not
hold, must die.”
At daybreak on the l*th Maunoury’s
reserves struck, full in Von Rluck’s
flank. Kvidently the latter’s intelli- i
gence department had failed signally.
Had he known of the presence of
Maur.oury’s army in and north of
Haris, and at least eight divisions
strong, he would not have dared turn
his f.ank to it the way he did. 1 am
told he thought, as did Yon Buelow,
that there was only one army in Haris
ami that it would be held for the capi
tal’s defense. As a matter of fact
there were two—the Army of Haris
and the Army of Maunoury.
In the meantime the British, with
five infantry divisions and five brig
ades of cavalry, were moving north
eastward with comparatively little
resistance. By night htye had reach
ed a position astride the Gram! Morin,
their right being at Dagny, on the
Aubetin River.
Further east the lighting had been
much hotter for here it was a frontal
attack. P’Ksperey hud to carve hrs
way forward and he did not get far
on the bth. He had against him the
bulk of Von Kluck’s army; the West
phalians, Hanoverians and Branden
burghers. Foch, with his Ninth Re
serves. east of P’Ksperey not only
had Von Buelow opposing him but the
right wing of Von Hausen’s Saxons.
The Duke of Wurtemberg met attack
with attack when I.angle’s Fourth
Army struck at him near Vi try and
did his best to break through. The
result was a standstill tight.
Sarrail, around Verdun, had l «'*T
less lucky, for the German Crown
Prince and the Crown Prince of
Bavaria struck with all their might
hoping to take Verdun, the torts
along the Heights of the Meuse and
so turn the French right. They gain
ed some ground, though they failed
in their greater task.
On the 7th the lighting was resum
ed more fiercely than ever. Maun- j
oury’s flanking movement went for-1
ward with a dash and the British were i
carried along with it. The plateaus :
along the River Ourcq were pile*
high with German dead. Elsewhere,
despite desperate attacks the French
mer.dy held their own.
The 8th seems to have been the j
critical day. Manoury kept up hi> ad
vance with the British on his right
while Koch saw the opening for his
wedge. During the night he continu
ed his manouvres so that at dawn on
the ith he was pounding away at a
large gap between Von Hausen and
Von Buelow. at the same time, with
his left he. too. struck at Von Bue
low’s right, uncovered by Maunoury
ami the British.
The retreat of Von Buelow imposed.
Caught in a pocket only a rapid re
tirement could save him and his army.
This he did very cleverly. Staff of
ficers declare only genius could have
extricated himself, for, at times, un
der violent shellfire fronj the French
15-inch rapid-fire field pieces, his
troop- showed sign.- of panic.
The retreat of Von Kluck was fol
lowed by that of Von Buelow and the
other commanders eastward to the
Vosges. The German army is expect
ed to make a stand on the Aisne,
north of which a high tableland of
fers what is consideed one of the
greatest defenses in Europe. Unless
they hold there it is believed they will
lose all they have gained.

Word has been received by the
Gateway that Ed Rudolph and his ,
representatives are determined to
prevent any more bodies from being
interred in the plot of ground which
the city council claims to have secured
from Rudolph as a public burial plot.
This word comes directly so that mat
ters may be soon brought to a head. ,
The only thing wanted to bring the
question to a quick development is
for some public spirited citizen to
shuffle off and settle the matter.
