The best estimates of the forces | engaged placed thé Germans at 1 276,000 and the Allies at 1,125,000 The French are said to have lost 30,-| 000 killed, the Germans left 50,000 dead, while 250,000 wounded of both | armies were picked up during and | after the battle by the Allies' stret | cher-bearers. The number of prison ers taken is still unknown. The "trough" or semi-circle pre- pared by Joffre's orders was in posi- tion, and the German armies had =o far marched into it the &th General-in-chief Joffre we issue orders for a general attack the next morning, ' The formation of the positign into whieh the German armies marched was that of a wide trough; Maunoury and French formed the side toward Paris, Franchet d'Esperey, Foch and Langie de Cary the bottom, while Sarrail's army formed the side ward Verdun in the Argonne. to- September 6. i Maunoury's Zouaves and Moors began the battle of the Marne in the early hours of the 6th of September by recapturing the r¥dges of Marcilly, Barcy, Chambry and Penchard; while the 7th Corps also advanced to the north. From dawn the British army and the army of General Franchet d'Es- perey were heavily engaged with von | Kluck and von Buelow's right. The] British, facing a general northeaster-| ly direction, attacked the German | line in the angle of the trough. Af:} ter ten hours' continual fighting the | pressure on the British front and that of the 5th army on its right dimin-| ished. - Hard pressed on his flank by Maunoury, and with his commu- nications threatened, von Kluck was | obliged to weaken his centre by send-| ing two corps (80,000 men) to the| support of the overwhelmed 4th Corps on the Ourcq. The with- drawal of these troops. was conceal- ed by a particularly violent attack, | in which were sacrificed a great num- | ber of men. -- | Fighting By Moonlight. | During the afternoon von Kluck was obliged to repass the Grand Morin and abandon Coulommiers, but succeeded in maintaining him- self on the right bank. The army of Franchet d'Esperey also gained ground, The Senegalese riflemen drove the Germans from the village and the environs of Jony-sur-Morin at the point of the bayonet. Several villages were taken and retaken and the fighting continued by moonlight, the French troops taking three more villages. i; The strongest shock of this first day's fighting was supported -by the 7th Army of General Foch. After ré- sisting the pressure of the first as- sault a rigorous counter-attack _ye- alized a gain on his left before Mon- dement." 'The 4th army at Langle de | Cary, though just arrived, also at-| tacked vigorously along entire front. . .

"The day | was saved for 'the army 'of Paris by | the 2nd Zouves around Etrepilly, | where the most violent attacks were | repulsed at such ccst to the Ger-| mans that they found it necessary to | burn their dead. The British troops | accentuated their advance, punishing | severely the cavalry divisions of the | Prussian Guard by remarkable char- | ges of the 9th Lancers and the 18th Hussars. I Franchet d'Esperey took at the point of the bayonet Vieux Mai- | sons and Plerreby, on von: Kluck's | left, and after several violent som-| bats crossed the Grand Morip, oceup- | ied Jouy-sur-Morin definitely and took up position on the Petit Morin. !

The day passed in at- | tacks: and counter-attacks. Villages | were takel, retaken. At the ceme- tery of Chambry a great many offi-| cers and soldiers of the 3rd Zouves! were killed, and finally the line be- gan to bend back'in the direction of Neufmoutiers. | The 4th Corps, commanded by General Boelie, brought from Alsace and retarted en route by the exodus of civilians from Paris, arrived---one division went to the support of the British troops, the other reinforced Maunoury. The situation of the ar- my of Paris became critical as the! result 6f the retreat of the 14th Di- vision of the Tth Corps. | The British forces, reinforced by one divisicn of the 4th Corps, made further gains, taking many prisoners and several cannon. The army of General Franchet d'Esperey, after eight hours' hand-to-hand fighting, | entered Montmirail, and the army of | von Buelow, leaving 7,000 dead and a large riumber of prisoners, was ing retreat all-along the line. ! General Foch, at dawn, declared to his troops: I "The situation is excellent. I order again a vigorous offensive." The retreat of part of von Buelow's forces before , Franchet d'Esperey | broke the German line and facilitat- | ed the efforts of Foch's army ®n his | right. The key to the heights of| Sezanne, the Chateau of Mondement, | where the Prince Eitel Friedrich of von Kluck"s staff had conferred and | dined with von Buelow, was the cen- tre of attack. The artillery drove] out the staff, after which' the Moroc- can riflemen penetrated the park of | the chateau, were driven out, at- tacked again and were repulsed. A third assault succeeded, and in the| park lay 3,000 dead Germans, includ-| ing two Generals, talions of French troops were annih-| ilated there. i A vital development of the day's| fighting was the discovery by avia-| tors of a gap between the armies | von Buelow and von Hausen, the ef- fect of von Buelow's retreat, leaving von Hausen's right flank exposed. By an audacious and opportune manoeuvre, General Foch massed his right in this gap under cover'of the | night, before von Hausen's flank, and | threw his adversary back upon the! marshes of Saint Goud in disorder. | The German losses there were heavy. Fought While Villages Burned. { The army of Langle de Cary was very heavily engaged around Vitry-| le-Francois, where the forces of the | Duke of Wuerttemburg counter-at- tacked fiercely. The artillery fire | crossed here over.the town of Vitry- | le-Francois, which was partly in flames. At Pargny and at Maurupt- | le-Montay both 'sides lost heavily in| hand-tothand fighting. By a night | | attack the French infantry took the village of -Etrepy, almost: entirely | burned, and the surrounding region, A little progress was made also to the left of Vitry-le-Francois. Serrail, menaced with | ment by a combined envelop- attack from | forces coming from Metz and the Crown Prince's army in front, sent his cavalry against the forces from Metz and continued his infantry at- | tacks in fromt. Fresh troops from | Strassburg resumed the violent but | vain attacks upon' the Heights of | Amance. The German losses here | were extremely heavy, but less than | on the Heights of Sainte-Genpevieve, | where de Castelnau's troops inflicted Bavarian rein- from Metz that they were the village forcements obliged to retire upon of Atton. Dubail, obliged to abandon Lune- ville to the enemy, held them in check elsewhere, and retook the sum- mit of Mandroy and Fourmeaux. September 9, The position of the army of Paris, whi¢h had become critical the even- ing of the 8th, had not improved the morning of the 9th. Heavily out- numbered, it appeared little likely that the position could be held with- out reinforcements. General Joffre! ordered Maunoury to resist just the same to the last man. The formation | of the line had been so modified that, the army of Paris bed an angle, one side 'of which faced the east and the other north, Three shousand | men of the 7th Corps, pitted against one entire division, began an attack | at Marville, and the action became | general. During nine hours the bat- | tle waged incessantly. Encouraged | by news of successes of the other ar-| mies, Maunoury's men redoubled | their assaults.
