crossed the French border.
' Fighting is also reported in the

"A statement Issued by the French

the line from La Fere to Guise, and,

that frantic efforts were being made to
Inflict a crushing blow on the allies, es
pecially on the English forces. Notwith
standing the success achieved by the
German army the dispatch saya there Is
a feeling amoitg many German soldiers
that they ars fighting against too great
odds..
Deapite all efforts to conceal the news
from Prussia, it is stated information of
a disquieting character regarding events
there Is beginning to. circulate among the
German forcea snd this feeling or anxiety
was Intensified when two divisions,

LONDON, Aug. 31. From all the

tious of Napoleonic brevity have
coi'io in the last twenty-four hours.
History Is being made on three
Brest fi ids of action along 200
miles of French frontier, on 200
miles of the Austro-Hunsarlan bor
der and through a wide area of
tantern rrussla.
Silence has covered Austria's war
with Servia for several days, but
that has become a minor detail of i
the death struggle of the European I
powers with millions of men en
gaged. The Russian front Is the scene of
events of the greatest magnitude,
but between the claims and counter
claims of the belligerents there is
such a vital difference that It is im
possible to form an estimate of
which wsy the balance swings.
!NTe Delayed.
From northern France the news
appears to follow events by three or
four days. The French embassy an
nounces that there has been hard
fighting on the right wing of its
northern army near MeKleres since
Friday, and also that the German
forces are making progress in the
La Fere district, which apparently
means that the French left wing has
retired somewhat further, but it is
not revealed how near the Germans
have approached to tho LeFere fortress-
The British official reports, is
sued Sunday, show that the British
army no longer constitutes the left
wing of the allied forces, but that tho
French have re-inforced them on the
west. It further says that the
French have been fighting both east
snd west of them and have brought
the German steamroller to a stand
stll for a time.

Impossible to learn from the many

From Holland and Belgium come
circumstantial reports that the Ger
mans are moving part of their Army
by trains back from Belgium. Ap
parently these troops are destined to
meet the Russians, and, If the re
ports are true, it may mean that the
Germans feel strong enough on the
French frontiers to spare part of
their force) or that they consider the
repulse .of the RuBBlan Invasion
more important than throwing a
great army into France.

Tic British people find cheer in
the exploit of their navy which sank
three German cruisers and two de
stroyers . tn a daring dash under
cover of a fog into the sone of

filled a loss of nearly 900 men on

Sunday mornlnsr.
'The publication of this dispatch," said
the I'remler, "seems to me a regrettable
exception to tho patriotic reticence which
tlio press as a whole has shown up to
the present and 1 trust It will not recur."
Mr. Asquith opposed the suggestion to
allow correspondents to go to the front,
but admitted that the public was entitled
to prompt and authentic Information as
to' what waa happening there, and eald
that arrangements were being made which j
he hoped would prove nsequate.
Reverting to the Time dispatch the
premier then said:
"It may become necessary to ask the
house to pass some drastic legislation,
which I shall be very loth to propose
until the urgency becomes extreme."
The London Times on Sunday morning
printed a dispatch from Amiens, Kranoe.
in which the correspondent took a very
pessimlxtlc view of the situation from
the standpoint of the allies.
