GERMANS SEEKAN ARMISTICE
Request fop Twenty-Four Hours Ces
sation of Hostilities Turned Down
by Allied Authorities Kaiser's
Troops Given that Time to Get Out
of France.
(VwUrn Newspaper Union News Serrlce.
Paris, Sept. 8. The battle which is
proceeding to thoMeast of Paris ap
pears to ho the most important and
most stubbornly fought combat of the
campaign. The military authorities
decline to give any Indication of tho
number of men engaged, but hundreds
of thousands are participating on both
sides.
According to those In a position to
obtain authentic information, tho cas
ualties have been so great that tho
Germans have requested an armistice
of twenty-four hours. Tho armistice
was refused, with tho response:
"Wo grant you that timo to got out
of France."
Stern Resistance by Germans.
An official communication Issued
by tho war office shows that tho Ger
man right wing, while retreating be
fore the allies, has offered the stern
est resistance, delivering several fierce
but unsuccessful counter attacks.
Tho .fighting today extended along
both the Ourcq and Morln rivers.
In the latter region tho British forces
have engaged in a strong offensive in
undulating country. The progress of
the allies has been exceedingly diffi
cult. In the center of the allied line sev
eral further encounters have oc
curred, the two opposing forces end
ing tho day with varying fortunes,
which, however, are regarded as
more favorable to the allies than their
enemies.
Gen. Joffre's Statement.
London, Sept 9. AJteuter dispatch
from Antwerp says that an official
communication there refers to an or
der by Gen. Joffre, September 7, in
which he alludes to the impatience of
his troops, and says: ,
"This is no longer the moment to
look behind, but tho timo has come
to attack and drive back the enemy
and to defend tho ground regained
at any cost."
Tho communication then gives the
results of recent operations. Under
pressure of the allied army on the
loft tho first German army has been.
obliged to retire towards tne north
east, both on the front and flank.
"No serious engagement," tho com
munication continues, "has occurred
before the second, third and fourth
Gorman armies, but before tho fifth
German army, which is held by the
French right, a fierce engagement is
in progress. On Sunday evening tho
garrison at Verdun made a sortie and
captured a number of supply convoys
destined for tho fifth German army."
I WAR SUMMARY
Sept. 9. Official reports from both
Paris and London Indicate successful
movements, at least for the time be
ing, by tho allied armies against tho
Germans. London reports that tho
British have pushed the opposing
forces back ten miles, and that' the
allies aro gaining ground along the
lino of the Ourcq and Potlt Morln
rivers.

mans for an armistice of twenty-four
hours to bury tho dead and care for
the wounded, the French authorities

sage: "We grant you that time, to
get out of France."
The Russian troops are still en
gaged ifi fierce combat with the Aus
trian forces In the Bawa district, Rus
sian Poland. Fighting is almost con
tinuous and tho outcome in this re
gion has not been determined.

French War Office Announces
Complete Defeat of Section
of German Army.
REPORT NOT OFFICIAL
General Pau Made Announcement,
Which British Authorities Refused
to Confirm Events In East
ern Galicla a Matter of
Much Uncertainty.
Reports of most important happen-'
Ings came from London at the begin
ning of tho week. London newspapers
had reports that General Pau an
nounced a victory by the allies over
the German Imperial Guard, under
command of Crown Prince Frederick
Wllhelm, In which the British annihil
ated tho opposing Germans. An un
confirmed rumor said that the surren
der of tho German Guard, with the
crown prince In their midst had been
demanded. The British official press
bureau issued no confirmation of this
report.
A general summary of the war's
standing, so far as it is possible to as
certain the facts, would seem to bo
comewhat as follows:
Nancy, being subjected to an at
tack, said to bo directed by the kaiser
himself, evidently had its means of
defense considerably strengthened,
nnd tho French must hold strong posi
tions here. Such an attack would ap
pear to be In accordance with tho plan
of forcing this part of the French
army back toward Paris nnd Inciden
tally against the advancing German
right, thus accomplishing the object,
of cutting off Its line of retreat and
possibly effecting Its capture. There
Is a certain element of doubt about
this attack on Nancy In view of tho
fact that tho Germans had occupied
Lunevllle, a strong fortress about
eleven miles from It, some ten days
ago and that the fortifications of Nan
cy aro old and obsolete. It would
sound moro probable If the attack
were directed on Toul.
Look for Decisive Stroke.
At any rate, tho presence of the kai
ser In that war zone would mean
that some decisive stroke is pending..
The Fronch have been apprehensive
of determined German action In that
terrain and are supposed to havo a
strong force there. This force, though
possibly Inferior in numbers, has an
advantage In its defensive position
and ought to give a good account of It
self in the coming action which, for
France, may bo tho final issue.
Paris reports that tho Germans have
been forced back In a southwesterly
direction by tlank movements of Gen
eral Joffre on tho right and by Gen
eral French oh the left wing. Now this
is Just tho direction In. which they
swung from north of Paris, and It ap
pears by this report that they have
been pushed whero they Intended to
go. Thero is some confusion here, as
General French In the same report is
reported driving tho Germans from
Lille. It seems to be certain, though.

SUMMARY OF
WAR SITUATION
WOUNDED IN THE LIEGE
was made during a brief lull In the fighting around Ilcgo,
that a great battlo Is being fought
along an undulating lino between
Meaux and Verdun,
Tho explanation of tho German suc
cesses on French territory contained
In a London dispatch, which attrib
uted them to relay work, is plausible
In viow of the continuous stream of
re-enforcements of men and war ma
terial which has followed in the wake
of the advancing forces.
Agree to Stand Together.
RusBla, Franco and Great Britain
have signed an agreement that nono
of the threo would make peace with
out the consent of all three nations.
Following is tho text of the protocal:
"The British, French and Russlon gov
ernments mutually engage not to con
clude peace separately during tho
present wnr. Tho threo governments
agree that when tho terms of peace
come to be discussed, no one of tho
allies will demand conditions of peace
without tho previous agreement of
each of tho other allies."
Minimize Austrian Defeats.
Timo nnd other conditions seem to
be against tho probability of East In
dian troops having been engaged In
action nt Termondo, 20 miles south
west of Antwerp, as reported from
London. Such appearance of Hindu
forces Is. to say tho least, somowhat
premature, as was tho announcement
of the Archangel re-enforcements, un
less corresponding arrangements had
been made some time before tho dec
larations of war.
According to Berlin dispatches tho
Austrian defeat In eastern Galicla Is
not quite of tho terrifying character
reported from Russian sources. It
looks, though, as if that defeat had
been a thorough disaster, albeit tho
extravagant claims of Petrograd
should bo taken "cum grano sails."
Tho Vienna confirmation of tho Lem
berg defeat, coming by way of Rome,
would now appear as the only and
striking example of a beaten power in
this conflict admitting its roverses at
onco nnd without subterfuge. Tho
same Berlin report mentions the Aus
trians still continuing their attack on
Lublin and alsp speaks of tho forma
tion of an exclusively Polish legion
at Cracow under General von Vaczyn
ski. Germans In Russia.
Tho advance of tho Germans by ar
mored trains into Russia in tho direc
tion of Alexnndrowo-Warsaw would
lndlcato either that tho Russian at
tack on Thorn, reported some days
ago, was incorrect or that It has now
been checked. A pursuit of German
Invasion In this direction would mean
an attempt to use the Vistula river
valley ns a lino of operations against
Warsaw, with tho additional object
of stopping a direct Russian advance
on Posen.
Tho reduction of Italian troops, mob
ilized on tho Austrain frontier, to a
poaco footing may bo regarded as uu
Indication that the government of Vic
tor Emmanuel Is determined to ob
serve strictly tho situation to a con
siderable extent, especially in view of
tho fact that the threatened war
action of Turkoy has subsided for tho
moment. Tho latter fact may also
momentarily dispel British fears in
regard to Egypt, whero the close re
lationship of the- khedlve with the
royal house of Turkey and his well
known Gorman sympathies havo
caused approhonslon.
Joffre's Plans Going Well.
An announcement issued by the of
ficial French bureau said:
"General Joffre's plans aro being
steadily carried out. Tho allied forces,
acting on tho offensive, havo been suc
cessful In checking and forcing back
In a northeast direction the German
glum, which control them. They oc
cupy 9,067,531 of Africa's 11,513,000
square miles.
Tho largest Individual holdor of Af
rican torrltory is Trance, with 3,812,
000 square miles, moro than a million
nnd a half of which Is tho Sahnrah
dosort. England controls 3,018,215
squaro miles; Belgium, with Belgian
Kongo as Its solo possession, 802,000
square miles, and Germany, 1,035,080
squaro miles
Theso figures make surprising con
trasts with thoso of tho European
TRENCHES
forces epposod to them."
It was officially announced In Paris
that tho Germans were retreating
from tho lino of Nanteull-le-Houdouin
to Verdun.

Tho official communique issued .inj
Fans, toning oi tuo situatoin along tne
whole lino, says:
Tho general engagement was
brought about When the allies, which
had been in continuous retreat for
many days, made a stand in a strongly
fortified position to the north and
northeast of Paris.
Tho first clash' came when tho Ger
man troops cbverlng the flanks of tho
main German army encountered ad
vance detachments of the allies at a
point near La Forte-Gaucher and were
forced to retiro. Tho main bodies of
tho opposing armies then took up the
struggle and tho Germans were forced
to retire.
It is estimated that 1,000,000 troops
were engaged along the line, which
extends roughly 120 miles.
German Position Changed.
Tho German first army, which had
crossed Gelgium, rounded tho left
wing of the allies' army and then
turned southward and to tho eastfof
ParlB, was forced to fight with Us back
to that city.
Messages received from Paris say
this army was forced to rotreat early
in tho fighting and was being pursued
by Fronch troops. EJrom timo to timo

the French, whllo French shells fall
continually In their ranks.
The rotreat was being made to tho
northeast, apparently to unlto with tho
German army in that direction.
Claim Austrian Defeat.
The following ofllcial announcement
was given out at Petrograd (St. Pe
tersburg): "Tho Austrian army corps between
the River Vistula) and tho River Burg
aro retreating with enormous losses.
Tho resistance of tho enemy has beon
broken.
Thero are evidences of the possibil
ity of a famine in Austria."
Anothor official communication is
