f GERMANS' CRUSHING DEFEAT Allies Inflict Enormous Losses on the Forces of the Kaiser A despatch from Paris says : The , b*ttle of the Marne, a the French have christened the great struggle in the territory between Paris and * Verdun, with the allied armies of France and England on one side and , the Germans on the other. The , German right, in the face of su- perior forces and threatened with n outflanking movement, retired to the north along the route over which General von Kluk made his J lightning advance on Paris from the Belgian border after having forced & retirement of the allies at Mons < and again at Cambrai and St. Quen- , tin. With General von Kluk also, ac- cording to French official reports, the right wing of General von Bue- low's army which supported his left , fell back toward the Rivers Aisne and Oise. On von Buelow's left the army of the Prince of Wuertem- berg, which had been trying, for weeks to break through the French line, stopped fighting and retired north. , Got a Lons Way East. t General von Kluk, it would appear, got farther ea,st and south of Paris than had heretofore been disclosed, so that his advance was . *ven faster than he was given cre- dit for. However, faced by a strong British-French force, and with another French force advanc- j ing from Paris threatening h*s flank and his communications, ' General von Kluk was compelled to withdraw northward and then fight the French on the River Ourcq. In this fighting a number of German heels the French army which they went south to fight, and which, when the Germans started to fall back, quickly advanced and took the offensive. While this fighting must have been severe, the real hard blows of the battle appear to have been struck between Vitry-le- Francois and Sezanne. Here the French were drawn up on a road over which they could move rapidly. They were repeated- ly attacked by von Buelow'a right Saxon army and the Prince of Wuertemberg's right. Theae at- tacks were of a most violent charac- ter, according to the French re- port, were stopped only when Gen- eral Pan got in possession of the hills north of Sezanne, from which his artillery could command the val- ley down which the Germans would necessarily advance on their way from Chalons. It was for the possession of these hills that the French fought hard early in the battle, and it was here that daily a fight occurred which first went in favor of one side and then the other. It U believed hre that this retirement into the hills west of Vitry-le-Francois was SINE SONS WOUNDED. Terrible Work of the 75-Milliinetre French Gun. A despatch from Paris says: One woman in Paris, Mme. Bonnard, i has received news that all of her| nine sons have been wounded. 'She is a widow. A French sous-officer just back from the front, after praising the terrible work of the j "brave little cigars," meaning the 75-millimetre French gun, said : "The Grinans fight without enthu- siasm, but they fight well. One would aay they were automatons. They never stop to rescue a com- rade, nor do they pay any attention to their dead or wounded, but march on over heaps of slain com- rades, victims of our quick-firers. They are like ants, innumerable anfs." This man praised the scout- ing work of the German aeroplanes, saying that the moment a regiment I changes its position it is certain to \ receive a visit from a German aero- ! plane and shortly after this the j German fire changes its direction and shells begin to fall thick on the new position. RUSSIANS ARRIVING. Further Confirmation That They Have Landed iu France. A despatch from New York says : Two steamships arrived from South- ampton on Tuesday, the first ones to leave there since the war began abroad, and three left New York for European ports.

In their retirements Generals von Kluk and von Buelow had at their Pushed Back Over 3T Miles A despatch from Paris says: "On the left wing the British and French troops have crossed the Marne be- tween La Ferte-Sous-Jouarre, Gnarly and Chateau Thierry, pur- suing the enemy, who is in retreat. During the course of this advance the British forces took a number of prisoner* and captured mitrail- leuses. "During the four days' battle the allied armies in that section of the theatre of operations gained more than sixty kilometres (about 37 miles). Between Chateau Thierry nd Vitry le-Francois the Prussian guard has been thrown back. The action continues with great severity io the region between Camp de. Mailly and Virty-le-Francois. In the centre and on the right wing there is no change in the situation. On the Oraain and in the Argonne district the two opposing forces are maintaining their positions. In the region of Nancy the enemy has made slight progress on the Chateau Salina road. On the other hand, we have gained ground in the forest of Champenoux. The losses have been considerable on both sides, but the morale and health of our troops re- main excellent. There is no con- firmation of the news published in German newspapers of the fall of Maubeuge." cans, including several who corro- borated the persistent reports that Russian troops have been passing through England on their way to aid the allied forces on the Conti- nent. The Royal Mail steamship Oruba, coming by way of the West Indies, brought nine Americans from the war zone who had been un- able to reach here otherwise than by thi.s circuitous route. The British Statement. A despatch from London says : The official press bureau has given out the following statement : "The battle continued yesterday. The enemy has been driven back all along the line. Sir John French re- ports that our first corps has buried 200 German dead and taken 13 Maxim guns. Some prisoners also were taken. Our second army corps has captured 352 prisoners and a battery. The Germans suffered heavily. Their men are stated to be very exhausted. British troops have crossed the Marne in a north erly direction." Resume March Toward Berlin A despatch from London says : The evacuation of Cracow, on the western border of Galicia, has com- menced, according to a despatch to Beuter's Telegram Company from St. Petersburg, and consternation prevails in that town. Despatches frx>m Vienna, by way of Rome, as- sert that the advance guard of the Russian centre has started a march in the direction of Berlin, invading Silesia and immediately threatening Bi-esliui. the most important city in South-eastern Germany, and 180 miles in from the frontier. The Vienna despatches also de- clare that it is officially admitted in the Austrian capital that 125,000 men, one-fourth of the entire army operatiing in I !" Galician campaign, have been killed, wounded or taken prisoner by the victorious Russians. The Archduke Francis Frederick, it is learned, has been personally in command of the ill-fated Austrian forces. An interesting rumor, credited in St. Petersburg, is that the German Crown Prince Frederick William has been appointed comrnaiider-in- chief of the Kaiser's forces against Russia in the East Prussian field. The Crown Prince was supposed to have been in command of the Ger- man centre in the campaign in France. A St. Petersburg despatch states that Hungarian troops are refusing to fight the Russians, deserting in whole battalions and fleeing into Russian territory. Similar reports are afloat concerning the civilian rifle cluibs at Cracow, some of which are said to have refused to take up arms when ordered to the defence of the city. PAYMENTS TO ENEMY. Dill Introduced Providing a Fine 01 Imprisonment. A despatch from London says : Attorney-General Sir J. A. Simon introduced a bill in the House of Commons on Tuesday which would considerably enlarge the scope of existing provisions for the suppres- sion of trade with the enemy. It would even prohibit the making of any payment to an alien anemy though the obligation arose out of a contract made prior to the out- break of the war. The bill provides for the imposition of a fine of $'J,500 or imprisonment for twelve mouths on a summary conviction, and seven years' penal servitude on conviction after indictment.

The Germans lost seven officers killed and two wound- ed, two field and two machine guns. The loss among the rank and file was heavy. The British loss among the whites was four killed and sev- eral wounded ; loss among the rank and file not ascertained.
