advance in the north.
The position of the allied armies,
according to the opinion of Krench

ing a movement which, if it fails,
will leave them in a dangerous situ
ation with their troops exhausted.
The British army, Tresh and

Today, on the eve of the anniver

3.000,000 troops are battling on tho
French frontier tho Germans In a
headlong effort to celebrate tho day
with a r'rr matic success; the French,
backod by their British allies, to
avt'imi their defeat of forty-four
years r.o.
That the Germans have gained
ground In their encircling movement
on the French left wing Is admitted
by the French foreign office, but it
it asserted alHo that after a three
daye,' battle in this region the An-Alo-French
line, although pushed
"tack, still remains unbroken.
This is described U4 the "wearing
d-.wn" policy on the part of the al
lied armies, and it is claimed that
the losses of the attacking forces
have been much greater than those
of the defenders.
French reports alone are availablo
thus far and nothing is reaching the.

their real value.

War Summary
The veil of secrecy, drawn
lighter yesterday than any time In
tho lust thirty days, maybe taken
as an indication that events of
importance are transpiring In
northern France. A similar si
lence was observed during tho
fighting around Mons, Cauibral
and LeCatneau last week
The latest report on the situa
tion north of I'arls was Issued
I a fit night. It said that the
French luft, owing to the prog
ress of the German right wing,
had been forced to "mark a new
retirement." Explaining this an
nouncement, the French embassy
in London announced: "The An-filo-French
army corps have had
to give ground, but nowhere
have they been broken through."
The fighting now, in which
the allies are believed to be op
posing the German advance, in
thought to be centered around
LaFere, a strongly fortified
Olse, seventy-five miles north
eust of Paris. The fate of the
French capital may hang on the
outcome of these operations. It
Is not definitely known whether
the Ilrltish troops in France have
been engaged again or not.
A news dispatch from Dieppe
says . a great battle has been
fought at Crolsllles and probably
Is still in progress. No details
ar given, nor had this report
been received from any other
source. Crolsllles is ten miles
southeast of Arras, In the Depart
ment of Pas de Calais, and 1b
about fifteen miles from Cam
bral. '
Persons reaching Paris from
tho north describe the prepara
tions of the allies for a defensive
fight. A Frenchman who reached
the capital today says there are
no Germans in Lille, Roubaix or
Tourcolng. a group of towns
near the Helgian frontier, which
were occupied by the Germans
las week.
Tuesday was the anniversary of,
tho battle of Sedan, which was.
fought with disastrous results to
the French in 1870. This coinci
dence draws particularly atten
tion to the outcome of the pres
ent operations concerning which
such impenetrable silence Is be
ing maintained in London and
Paris and Merlin.
Home has received a report
from Rumania that the Russians
have Inflicted a crushing defeat
on tho Austrlang in Gallcta, the
troops of Emperor Francis Jo
seph suffering losses declared to
amount to 20,000. A news dis
patch from St. Petersburg makes
a similar claim, saying the Aus
trian in Poland hare loBt tens of
thousands of men.
I?y imperial order the city of
Bt. Petersburg will henceforth be
known as Petrograd, the change
eliminating the Teuton construc
tion In the name of the chief city

News dispatches published In
London say that the people of
Berlin, alarmed at the Russian
advance, are beginning to leave
the capital for neutral countries.
