YON KLUCK'S DASH
FORCES MARNE FIGHT
If German Troops on His Left Had

Have Been Avoided. .
FRENCH FOLLOW UP ADVANTAGE

LONDON, Sept. 12. The battle
of Marne, as the French have christ
ened the great struKgle, 'which now
has been In progress for a week in
the territory between Paris and Ver
dun with the allied armfes of Trance
and England on one side and the
Germans on the other, has not yet
reached a decisive result.
The German right, however, In the
face of superior forces and threat
ened with an outflanking move
ment, ' continues to retire to the
north along the route over which
General Von Kluck made his famous
dash toward Paris from the Belgian
border after having defeated the
allies at Mona and again at Cambral
and St. Quentin.
Right Wine Ketlrra.
With General Von Kluck alo, accord
ing to French official reports, the right
wing of General Von Buelow's army,
which supported his left. Is falling back
toward the rivers Alane and Dine. On
Von Buelow's left the army of the Trlnce
of Wuerttember?, which has been trying
for weeks to break through the French
line, haa also stopped fighting and re
tired north. The German left wing, how
ever, composed of other sections of the
prince of Wuerttemberg's army and the
army commanded by tha erman crown
prince. Is still fighting with varying: suc
cess. The armies, however, appear to
hav passed Verdun aa Berlin reports
say they have been bombarding fortified
positions south of that fortress.
Von Klnck's Advance.
A comprehensive French official report
issued tonight shows that General Von
Kluck got farther east and south of Paris
than had heretofore been disclosed, so
that his advance was even faster than he
was given credit for making.- '
It seems that had the German armies on
Ms left moved anywhere near as quickly
as ha did the battlo of the larne would
never have been fought.
However, faced by a strong Britsh
French force and with another, French
force advancing from Paris threatening
his flank and his communications, Gen
eral Von Kluck was compelled to with
draw northward and then fight the
French on the river Ourcq.
German Guna Taken.
In this fighting, according to the British-French
reports, a number of tlerman
guns, hundreds of prisoners and part of
tha German transport were taken. The
German report, on the other hand, says
"the war booty was represented by fifty
guns and some thousands of prisoners."
As Mi. firat received this report -said the
Germans admitted dffrat and the loss of
men and guns, but U later was vx-plalned
that this was a tchgraphio error. The
English newspapers decline to accept this
explanation and insist that the admission
was really made only to be withdrawn
later by some superior officer.
French Quickly Advance,
In their retirement Generals Von Kluck
and Von Buelow had at their 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 fight
ing must have bsen severe, the really
hard blows of the battle appear to have
been struck between Vltry-Le-Francols
and Sezanne.
Here the French were drawn up on a
road over which they '.could move rap
Idly. They were repeatedly attacked by
Von Buelow's right Saxon army and the
prince of Wuerttemberg's right. These
attacks, which continued until Thursday
night, were of a most violent character,
according to the French report, and were
stopped only when General Pau got pos
session of hills north of Sezanne, from
which his artillery could command the'
valley down which the Germans would
necessarily udvance on their way from
Chalons.
Flaht for Hills.
It was for the possession of these hills
that the French rought hard early In the
battle and it was here that dally a fight
occurred which first went In favor of one
aide then the other. It' is now believed
here that this retirement Into the hills
west of Vitry-Le-Francois was made to
enible General Von Moltke and the Ger
man general staff to plan some other
means or way of breaking through the
French line. t
Although the Germans have had to send
some of their best troops back to Prus
sia to meet the Russian advance. It is not
for a moment thought here that there
will be any long pause In their efforts to
beat the French.
Crown Prince Frederick William, who
has with him a portion of the prince of
Wuerttemberg's army. Is still fighting,
and all that the French report says of
this battle is that there Is no great chango
In the situation, there befng alternates
advances and retreats.
Drill I p Hires tiint.
The Germans have brought up some
siege guns against Nancy, and here, as
In the Vosges, It Is reported, there is no
change In the situation. The British pub
lic seems well satlsflea with the results
of the battle so far as it has gone, but
the military experts warn them that It
la not over yet It Is suggested by some
of the military men as being possible that
the French are only holding the line of
the Marne on sufferance while the Ger
mans are making some changes in their
line of communications. Among the ex
perts It is considered that there Is no
reason to suppose that the German army
has ben fought to a standstill.
' The distress of the German right wing,
however. Is giving the little Belgian army
another opportunity to do something, and
it is taking advantage of It by harassing
the German reinforcements which are
hurrying south.
Withdrawing Troops,
It Is reported that Germany is with
drawing troops from Alsace, but whether
they are for the Prussian frontier or to
support the armies which are facing the
allies in western France has not been
disclosed. It Is considered likely, how
ever, that the general staff will gather
all the forces It can to get through the
French force test of Paris, either by the
route they have been trying during the
last week or through Luneville.
Ia Galicla the Austrians. who are being
Supported by Germans, are still putting
up a fight against the Russians, although
It had been predicted, for ilays that the'.r
urrrnirr or annihilation was Imminent.
The Kus1an claim to have had another
sucress over thn Austrians near Krasnik.
Wednesday, and aild that sanguinary
fighting ia proceeding on the Tomastow
liawa front as far as the Dniester river.
Mar Hare Been Delayed.
It !s apparent that General Ruxsky'f
enveloping movement is hot developing as
raplilly as was expected, and It may have
been delayed by the offensive movement
Which, according to Berlin advices, the
Austrians have resumed In the Iemberg
district.
Matters are getting a little more Ititrr
rtlng In east Prussia, where for a while
Russia Is said to have had things virtually
Its own way. The Germans are now re
ported to have moved some of tiielr best
troops Into this section, am the lt.issians
are said to have been compelled to with
draw. Pctrograd says Its only retirements
have been Us nvanre guards who are
keeping In-touch with the German ad
vance, but the Germans claim to have
scored another over the Russians, who
are said to have received a rather sever
check between August 23 and 17.
It Is possible that the Austrians have
kept the Russians busy In Galicla Just
long enough to enable Germany to get Ha
troops Into East TrussU before the Ruj-t-lans
were able to dispose of the Aus
trians and sweep down upon Silesia,
Posen and Prussia.
Scrha Celebrate Victory.
Servia is celeoratlng another vlctoiy
over Austria, having taken Semltn, Jv.st
across the river from Belgrade, the Serv
ian capital, which haa been under an In
termittent bombardment ever since the
commencement of the war. This success.
It Is thought, may enable Pervla, which
Is also advancing Into Bosnia, to put an
end to the guns which have been so Ion
firing on Its capital. .
Turkey has taken advantage of Europe's
oc.-upation to abrogate capitulations,
which It so long had objected to. Its
diplomats deny that this Implies any
bellicose attitude on Its part.

The Germans abandoned much equipment
and at the same time got many prisoners

the French took another German rrnl

the allied armies Is working without a

All . who have witnessed the minhats
agree that around the Marne five Ger
mans were killed for every one of the
allies. The Geraians tried desperately to
cross the Marne near Mraux. French en
gineers had blown up the bridges and
when the Germans threw pontoons across,
the famous three-inch guns of the French
demolished the structures before they
could be used. Sixteen times the Ger
mans repeated the effort under a raking
fire of shot and shell.

The Itnosevelt date for Omsha had been

SON. All motorists should see it.
It ha3 many features n6t yet found
in any other car.
It has a beauty all its own. In big
things and little it shows the skill
and the pains of a great engineering
corps.
In a finished way it shows the
HUDSON idea of
the future type of
car. That meaina
the idea of Howard
E. Coffin and his
47 engineers.
Last season's
model showed the
result of their three
years work on this ar. .This new
year model shows another year's
improvemen 31 new refinements.
End of Excess
This car marks the end of excess
the end of over-tax. No man can
see it without conceding that a new
day has come.
Over-size, over-weight and over
price must go.
This size is sufficient, with ample
room for seven. This power is suffi
cient the car shows 47 horsepower.
This weight is sufficient 2890
pounds for the sturdiest sort of
car. But such lightness involves
many costly materials and rare skill
in designing.
The new-type mo

The Best Tire Built is Not a
War Price
ire
Goodyear Prices
Same as in June
Bear in mind In these extra-price days that
Goodyear tires No-Rim-Cut tires sell at
old-time prices.
To pay more is a needless tax. You know
or should know that Goodyears are the
best tires built. They outsell any other. They
excel all others in four great ways
In the No-Rim-Cut feature
In the saving of blow-out
In combating loose treads
In the All-Weather tread
These are exclusive features In these
ways at least any price you pay buys you
a lesser tire.
1,500,000 Pounds of
Extra-Grade Rubber
We have secured abroad by having men on
the ground 1,500,000 pounds of extra-grade
rubber. It was practically all the good rubber
available. And we paid the before-war prices.
Ships are bringing this rubber now. Much
of it has already arrived here.
We bought most of the good rubber.
Prices of 'off rubber" have advanced. So
the Goodyear factory and the Goodyear users
are in a uniqup position.
, No Under-Grades
We pledge you the same grade of rubber
as always. Our formulas have not been
changed. Never will Goodyear tires be low
ered in grade, no matter what rubber costs.
Today our prices are the same as in June.
Practically every standard tire today sells for
more than Goodyears. Some sell immensely
higher. .
Don't pay those extra prices. Don't run
the risk of under-grade rubber.
There , were always reasons for buying
Goodyear tires, resistless to men who knew
them. Today there are new reasons com
pelling reasons due to this fortunate pur
chase of rubber.
Get the full benefit. Your dealer will sell
you Goodyear tires built as we always built
them at the prices he charged in Jane. '
