- Retire Southward, d
STILL BATTLING IN 6ALIGIA,
Pai!S3 in Operations in East
ern Prussia.
ljondon, Sept. 10. The Russian and
Austrian armies continue to oppos
each ether in a Ions; drawn out en
gniAerr.oiH in the Iuhlin district, Rns
siau J'oiand. An official statement is
sued at I'eiroprr.d declares that both
Au.-trian and German troops have
been ui.-lodged from their fortified po
siiicn in that section aud have retired
towards the south.
The Ausiriaiid and Russians are still
ban line; in Galicia and although Hus
sion olficial circles are silent reports
from Rome, which generally have been
accurate, cumins as they do through
Geimau or Roumanian sources, indi
ciA that the Russian?? are making
prorre.-s apainst General Auffenbers's
irmy. which is beine: supported by
Gernuuis.
Fv.ino doult is now expressed
whether the Russian enveloping move
mer.t from the south of Romberg can
be developed quickly enough to cut of!
the Austr'i.'.ns should they be defeated
uy the Russians advancing from the
north. Rut should the Austrians be
defeated, a? Rome says, this second
army is likely to hasten General Auf
i'enherc's retirement.
There is still a pause in the opera
tions in east Prussia, doubtless due to
a paucity of trcnus on the part of Rus
sia, which has always had diiUcully in
transport in? troops westward. Re
shies, the -f cat they suffered, in the
fWhCns between Aug. 21 and Aug. 21

tives near Ijouvain wben the village
where her relatives lived was burned
They went into Louvain. She said
that the first sign of trouble was when
two German soldiers maltreated and
killed several girls.
These soldiers were promptly shot
by their own officers, but the feeling
cf the populace against the invaders
had grown very intense. The German
so'diers. according to Miss Ustte
broick. make no secret of their deter
nvr.Mion to make the Belgians suffti
for the indignities which they claimed
tve Germr.n residents had suffered ai
the hands of the Pelgians at the out

PRELIMINARIES OF BIG BATTLE
Engagement In Progress Celisved
Just Starter.
Iondon, Sept. 10. The allied armies
continue to have the advantage, ac
cerriing to French official reports, in
what can only be the preliminaries of
!i great battle extending from Meaux,
.uort beast cf i'aris, to the fortress of
Veiduu, 1 2. miles farther east.
The Germans, who have brought up
reinforcement, are striking at the- al
lies left and center between Mont
mirail anl Vitry-le-Francois, a front
of from fifty to sixty miles, but each
time they have been driven Lack.
This is not tuprisir.g to military
men, as the Gtrmass have been com
pelled to advance through the swamps
of the Fetit Moiln. and th- n over bare
uplands to the extiemely strong
French position on the light. It is
'heir only chance, however, and it i3
expet-te;! that they will strike and
strike again.
French Guns on Height.
They are bringing their reinforce
ments down frcm Chalons on the roads
leading to Fei e-Champenois", Som-:k-5o;is
and otnpuis, in the face of the
French artillery posted on the heights,
which give it a great advantage.
General Fau, who commands the
center of the French army in this dis
til,", i" reported to be advancing
:i.,r:h of Sezanne toward the plateau
v.; commands the center of the
whclc battlelield. On his left the Drib
idi force has driven the Germans
across the Grand Morin and Petit
Morin rivers, towards the Marne itself,
while on the extreme left the French
eixth army, advancing front Faris
along the Ourcci river, has had further
successes and is threatening General
Kluck's communications.
In the east tiie Germans so far have
failed iu their attempts to break across
the rivers and through the hills of Ar
gonne between Vitry-le-Francois and
Verdun cm tbe right wing of the allies.
Again, according to French reports,
there has been bo action against the
Grand Couronne of Nancy and in the
Voges and Alsace the situation re
mains unchanged.
All tbis favorable news has cheered
the allies, but military critics warn
the public that the battle has not yet
been won, and that there probably will
be a week or more of fighting before
a decitdw result is attained either way.
May Be Trick of Germans.
There is a possibility that the Ger
mans are trying to draw the allies into
an attack upon the high ground that
lies between the Marne and the Aisne,
about Rheims, and while it is believed
that some" of the edge has been taken
off the German defensive, it is not at
all probable that it has all been removed-
General Joffre, the Freucn com
mander in chief, however, has won
some points, lie has gained the time
he required, is in better positions and
has completed bis concentration, so
that he is now believed to have a fair
chance against the invaders, who have
hewed their way from Mons to the
gates of Paris.
German reinforcements, estimated
at OO.ooo men, are advancing into
France in three columns, according to
an Ostend dispatch. .
Germans Driven Back 25 Miles.
Bordeaux, Sept. 10. The following
announcement was issued:

attempts to break the French lines on
the right bank of the Ourcq river have

The British army has crossed the
Marne and the enemy has fallen back
about twenty-five miles. On the cen
ter and right wing there Is no notable
change."
Frenchman Given Medal.
Paris, Sept. 10. On the banks of
tbe river Ourcq two German flags have
been captured in the course of a great
battle. One was taken from the en
emy by force by a reservist named
Gullmard, who has received the mill
tary medal from General Gallieni, com.
mander of the French forces at Paria
This flag is of the Thirty-sixth regft
