"The1 British expeditionary army

acted in harmony with the strategic
conceptions of the French general
staff. Since the battle of Cambral

troops successfully guarded the left

armies from a deadly turning attack
supported by an enormous force, the
seventh French army haa come Into
operation on the British left

NEW TORK, fpt. -The Associated

from Al-La-Chapplle to Rerun for
transmission. The authors,' all of whom
ara well known American newepaper men,
wera originally assigned to Brussels, but
without auroeae. The telegram waa partly
mutilated by Interference and certain
words are missing, but the text here given
Is clearly that Intended by the nuthora:
'In spirit we unite In rendering (sir)
German atrocities groundless as far as
wa ara able to. After spending two weeks
with and accompanying the troops up
wards of inn miles we are unable to re
port a single Instance unprovoked. Wa
are also unable to confirm rumors of mis
treatment of prisoners or of noncom

la true of Iouvaln. Brussels. Lunevlllr
and Nancy while In Trusslan hands. We
visited Chateau. Poldre, Fakhra and
Beaumont without substantiating a single
wanton brutality. Numerous Investigated

"These losses. If heavy In so small a
force, have In no wise affected tha aplrlt
of the troops. They do not amount to
cne-thlrd of the losses Inflicted by tha
British force upon the enemy end the

been out of proportion to Ita military

Gernmna Nesleetluff Paris,
"The latest Information about the enemy
la that they are neglertlng Paris and are
marching In a southeasterly direction to
wards tha Marne and towards the left
and center of the French lines. The first
Oerman army Is reported to he between Li
Ferte-Hous-Jouarre and Efflses Boffort.
"Tha aecond Oerman army, after taking
Rhalma, is advancing on Chateau Thierry
and to tha east of Inst place.
"Tha fourth Oerman army la reported
to be marching south and on the west of
Argonne, between Aulppes and Villa
Jotirhe. All these points were reached by
the Oermana on September 3.
"The seventh Oermsn army has been
repulsed by a French corps near Dlen
vllle. It would' therefore, appear that tha
enveloping movement on tha Anglo
Franco left flank , has been abandoned
by tha Germans, because tt was no longer
practicable tr continue such a' great ex
tension, or because tha alternatjve to a
I reel attack upon the allied lines, Is
preferred.
Reason 'Wat Apparent.
"Whether this change of plan by tha
Germans Is voluntary or whether It haa
been forced upon them by the strategic
situation and tha great strength of tha
allied armies in their front, will ba re
vealed by the course of events.
"There Is no doubt whatever that our
men have established a personal ascend
ancy over the Germans and that they ara
conscious of tha fact thai with any
thing Ilka avan numbers tha reault would
ba doubtful. The shooting of tha Ger
man Infantry Is poor, while the British
rifle flra haa devastated every, column
of attack that haa presented Itself.
"Their superior training and Intelligence
hava enabled tha British soldiers to use
the open formation with affaot and thus
cop with the vast numbers employed
by the enemy. Tha cavalry who hava
avan opportunltlea for displaying personal
prowess, and address, hava definitely
established their superiority. Tleld Mar

"Tha cavalry,'" ha says, "do aa they

German patrols simply fly before our
horsemen. Tha German trxns will not
face our Infantry flra. As regards tha
artillery, they never hava . bean opposed
by less than three or four tlmea their
numbers.
"Tha following incidents have been
mentioned. During the action at 1-e Cha
teau, on Auguat Ss, all tha officers and
men of ona of tha British battering had
been killed or wounded with tha eaceptlon
of one subaltern and two gunners. These

only two lorries.
"It la noted that luring a rear guard
