PARIS, Aug. 30. "The progress
of th German right wing has obliged
us to yield ground on our left," says
an official statement issued here to
night. The British and French govern
ments are calling upon all English
men and Frenchmen to Join in de
fense of the allied lines, which ap
parently are being pushed back
gradually by the overwhelming
German forces on their way to
Paris.
A campaign hag been begun in
London and other English cities
' to induce all able-bodied English
men to Join the colors. Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, addressing
a meeting to obtain recruits for
the army, declared the country was
in great danger and that defeat
would mean "ruin, shame ana
slavery."
Field Marshal Meuthen said any
eligible man refusing to join the
army in the time of his country's
need is nothing but a coward.
. To Strike Foe's Riant.
LONDON, Aug. 30 The French
and British are gathering every man
and gun available in northwestern
France in an attempt to stop the Ger
man advance on the road to Paris.
It is also said that General Joffre,
commander-in-chief of the French
army, will endeavor to strike at the
German right and bring relief to the
British and French forces which have
been placed in such a critical situa
tion by the German outflanking
movement.
How far the allies have succeeded
in getting across the German path Is
not disclosed, for the outside world
is ignorant tonight of what is hap
pening on the battlefield.
Brain Movement East.
A report comes both from Antwerp
and Copenhagen that the Germans
have commenced a movement back
from the west to meet the Russians,
who have been advancing so quickly
through East Prussia.
But it Is hardly likely that they
will make any great demands upon
the western army until the big battle
In which there seems to have been a
lull has been definitely decided.

of the British government to the Ameri

his own accord, undeterred by the very
hostile attitude of the crowd and, often
at considerable personal, risk to himself,
extricated many British . subjects from
difficult situations. It adds:
"It Is a pleasure to me to Inform you
that I have received Sir Edward Gray's
instructions to request that the warm
thanks of his majesty's government may
be conveyed to Mr. Gerard for his great
personal devotion and energy under these
trying circumstances, and I beg you to
be so good as to cause this appreciation
of his kindly action to be conveyed to
Mr. Gerard, to whom as well as his staff,
his majesty's government feel they are
under a deep obligation."

Victory of England
..COPEVHAGKN (Via London), Aug. 30.
A dispatch to the Wolff bureau from
Berlin says:
."Vesterdsy forenoon during partly foggv
weather several small British cruisers and
two flotillas, comprising about forty de
stroyers appeared in the North north
west of Helgoland.
"A desperate isolated engagement en
sued between them and our small forces.
Htnall German cruisers steamed westward
and on account of the short distance came
Into contact with several large Kngllslt
cruisers. Thus the cruiser Ariadne was
attacked at short range by two large
cruisers of the lion class and sunk after a
glorious fight. The majority of the crew,
numbering 260, were saved.
"The destroyer N-87 was bombarded by
a small cruiser and ten destroyers and
sunk. It went down firing Its guns. Its
captain, who waa squadron commander,
was killed. The small cruisers Coeln and
Mains are missir.f:, and, according to
Tleuter dispatches, were sunk after an
engagement with an enemy of superior
force. Of their crews, eight officers and
ninety-one men appear to have been saved
by British warships."

Using Asiatics and
Blacks, Allies Can't
Teach Enemy. Ethics
NKW YORK, Aug. 90.-t.Wiit Von
Bernstot-ff, the German ambassador to
the I'nlted States, who returned hern
from Washington lat night, i.ssued the
following statement today in reference to
the alleged atrocities of the German
army.
"The campaign of our enemies charg
ing the German army with cruelty is
absolutely shameful. The traditions of
the German army are above all attacks
In this respect. Nobody can regret more
than 1 do if women and childien have
been killed during the fighting. This is,
however, unavoidable if the civilian
population of a country joins in the
fighting as la the rase in Belgium, where
German soldiers have been shot In the
back, where German wounded have been
mutilated and doctors and nurses
shot at,
"It is absolutely unjustifiable to sup
pose that Zeppelin bombs were thrown
against anything else but fortifications.
Women and children should not remain
in besieged fortresses. Not the slightest
harm was done to anybody In the open
city of Brussels, whilst on the first day
of the war French aeroplanes bombarded
the open city of Nuremburg.
"It Is Inconceivable that any of the
powers, who have joined the coalition
formed solely for the purpose of attack
ing us should desire to give us lessons
on methods of Ku ropes n warfare, after
having called oriental , races Into the
struggle and after having sent colored
African and Indian troops to France to
fight their battles for them."
