ENGLAND, FRANCE AND RUSSIA SIGN AGREEMENT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONt) agartvs proposing a plan to tax g a , f> line. London. Sept. s—(Special to Democrat) —A statement issued the ( official press bureau says that the situation in France has not changed and that the position of allies is well maintained. The ( or . ward movement of the German rlg> twing lias been checked by the lift, which for the past two ( | a y ß | l|s been pressing hard at that point, atH the enemy has been, comp lied to re . tire to St. Quentin. The German at. tempt to envelop the left wing of th P allies has tailed. All Indications now point to a general movement to th” east and southeast by the Germans. 1 The movements of the opposing armies near Paris are being continued, in the district of Verdun, the German forces have sustained slight checks. In Lorraine the allied troops have won fresh successes. New York, Sept. s—(Specials—(Special to th« Daily Democrat)—During the time of activities, August 20 to September 3, when the Russian army started on the offensive, they have advanced 15# miles with every day filled with continual fighting, according to a summary of Russian operations in Galacia reveived by a military attache of the Russian embassy at Washington. After the defeat of the Austrians at Lemberg over 200 guns, baggage and prisoners by tens of thousands were captured. It is claimed that over 20.000 Austrians were killed iu the siege of Lemberg. Washington. Sept. s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Democrat) —With the entrance of Turkey into the present European war. it is estimated by many foreign diplomats that hostilities may involve not only Italy and thd Balkans, but also Caucasus, Persia, Egypt and India as well. In such event, tlie presence of the Japanese fleet and troops in 4-esterh Asia, particularly to assist England in either India or Persia, would not be surprising, according ti diplomats representing the allied powers. London, Sept. s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Democrat) —In a dispatch from Roaer, France, a correspondent of the Chronicle says Jie has learned that the French authorities are considering the surrender of Paris to the Germans in order to prevent the destruction of property from artillery fire. This will only be done, the correspondent declares, in case the Germans are successful in passing the outer fortifications. British, French and Belgian wounded are being transferred from Paris to other cities and the great exodus of the French population of Paris continues southward. It is claimed that the Germans are now about twenty miles from the 1- rench capital. ■ ■■-- w -■ Democrat Wants Ads Pay.
