REPORT GERMAN DEFEAT!
* - ..
PARIS, Sept. 30.—'The official report given out this
morning declares that the allies have gained distinct ad
vantages in several parts of the great battle front. North
of the Somme the turning movement of the allies is dev
eloping rapidly. Between te Oise and the Aisne rivers the
Germans attacked Tracylement but were repulsed with
heavy losses. In the center a relative calm prevails along
the whole front of that part of the field but between the
Argonne district and the river Meuse the allies report
flight progress. In the Woevre district several battles
have been fought and the French troops have advanced at
several points notably east of St. Michel. In Lorraine and
near the V osges the conditions are unchanged. The great
est optimism now prevails in this city and the news of
the decisive defeat of the invaders is expected to come at
any time.
The movement of the allies near the Somme may
bring about this result more quickly than expected as the
German flank can be assailed with infinitely less dif
ficulty than at any of the points where a frontal attack
would be necessary and where the enemy is strongly en
trencher.
ROUMANIA MAY FIGHT
BUCHAREST. Sept. 30.—It is reported that King
Charles has summoned his cabinet to a special meeting
which will take place tomorrow and at which the attitude
of Roumania with respect to the war will be decided. Gen
eral opinion here is in favor of joining the allies although
it is accepted as a belief that the declaration of war by
this countrv will be followed bv the declaration of war

FIVE BRITISH SHIPS SUNK.
London, Sept. 29—It is officially announced that the
German cruiser Emden has sunk four British steamships
and a British collier in the Gulf of Bengal. The cruiser has
been operating in the gulf for some time and it is feared
that she may succeed in inflicting more damage unless
British warships are sent against her. British shipping a
long that coast is important and many unprotected merch
antmen will be left at the mercy of the Emden if she is let
alone.
TSINGTAU COMPLETELY INVESTED.
Pekin, Sept. 29—The Germans in Kiauchau have evac
uated what is known as the Waldersee line of defence be
fore overwhelming forces of the enemy and Tsingtau is
now completely invested. The Japanese say that the Ger
mans are now back on the main line of the defenses five
miles from Tsingtau. The Japanese occupy the
heights commanding the German lines. It has also been dis
overed that three German warships are anchored in the
harbor and these ships will probably take an active part
in the defense of the place.
Shanghai, Sept. 29—'The Japanese now occupy Weihsien
and control another place on the Kiauchau railroad. This
action has been taken, it is said, because a German mine
was discovered out side the neutrality zone.
SHIP9»THE EMDEN CAPTURED
London, Sept. 29—The official statement is made this
afternoon that the German cruiser Emden has sank in the
Indian ocean the British steamers Tumeric, King Lud,
Riberia and Foyle and captured the collier Bursk. The
crews were transferred to the steamer Gryfedale which
the Germans also captured but which they released for the
purpose of taking the crews of the other steamers to Col
ombo. Much criticism is being expressed here because of
the failure to provide against such disasters.
