Heat and Power company, to make 318 excavations over the city, opened a discussion of street troubles and ended without a remedy being adopted.

He says he has Imported foremen and now has 150 men divided into six gangs ready to go to work at once.

Eidilaii WmdM GERMAN SHIPS

BY HERBERT TEMPLE (Eureetan Manager of the Interna' tlonal News 8ervlce.) LONDON, Aug. 271 Reports that left wing of the allied army has been rolled back, and that the Germans have .captured the fortified city of Lille, 120 miles northeast of Paris, gave England the greatest shock today that It has sustained since the war with Germany began. The fall of Lille was not officially announced here early today, but dispatches from Ostend said that the Germans secured possession of the city on Tuesday without firing a shot. According to reports from the same source the French defenders withdrew upon the approach of the GermanB, to save the city from bombardment and destruction by the heavy German guns. A dispatch to the Dally Express says: "It was decided on Monday not to defend the city, and on Tuesday the mayor's proclamation was published announcing the withdrawal of the French forces. Apparently there was no great force of allies to bar the German advance." Strategic City. Lille Is a strategic point, and Its capture by the Germans would open the way to the English channel through the department of Pas-De-Calals, thus preventing the junction of British reinforcements with the French army. When the war broke out Lille was expected to be the first city to be attacked by the German armies marching upon Paris, and on account of this belief It was supposed that heavy French forees had been massed there to reinforce the permanent fortifications. Telegrams from Paris indicate that the fighting along the Belgian frontier has favored the invaders. This fact, coupled with the announcement of the resignation of the French cabinet tended to intensify the pessimistic feeling. Britons Discouraged. The announoement of the French war office last night gave small encouragement to Britons as it admitted that the "Franeo-Britfsh lines had moved back" before the smashing assaults of the Germans. The French war office admitted disaster to its left wing, in the vicinity of StDle, supported by English in the vicinity of Maubeuge. The opposing troops axe strung over a line of 360 miles long, from a point on the Belgian border opposite Lille, Prance, to a point In the vosges mountains. At Intervals along the mighty battle front fierce fighting is believed to be In progress. The French embassy issued an announcement here which was Intended to be optimistic, but it showed that German forces In great numbers had penetrated to a point between Camorla and Le Cateau, which is 25 miles inside the French border. That one million more British soldiers will be necessary In Europe to carry on a successful campaign against the mighty German army which is sweeping on France, was the opinion expressed by newspapers today after digesting the latest news from the front. Need More 8oldlera. The newspapers advised the war office to rush more reinforcements to the continent at once. Discussing the campaign In northern France the Dally Mail says: "The rear flank movement around the left wing of the allies' army is probably a prelude to a general attack, in force all along the line. The

allies center has been at grip with the Germans around Melzleresl and Verdun, where the French have seized the outlet from the difficult wooded Ardennes country. "The French Sixth corps Is officially stated to have distinguished itself, displaying great dash. The French in Lorraine have fought a great battle In which, according to German estimates, more than 600,000 men were engaged." Interprets Move. . The war correspondent of the Dally Telegraph at Ostend believes that the fan-like movement that preceded the over-running of some Belgian territory by the Germans is still in progress toward the western coast The Daily News in commenting upon the statement Issued by the French embassy says: "Cambria and LeCateau are about 25 miles inside of the French frontier and behind Valenciennes and Maubauge which had previously been indicated as the positions to which the French and British forces retired after the fighting at Mons and Charleroi. "The Comminique is far unexplained but it would appear to mean further retirement oh the part of the allies, or the development of a German flanking movement, which was reported to be in progress in the vicinity of Lille." Philip Gibbs, a war correspondent for the Dally Chronicle sends an Interesting dispatch about the British soldiers at the front. "I saw British soldiers in many unexpected places" said Mr. Gibbs, "adapting himself to his unusual environment in characteristic manner." How Briton Fights. "I saw him at dawn in small camps, surrounded with hay ricks and farm yard chickens, drinking the fresh milk offered him by admiring French, peasant women. "I saw him in the midst of camp fires fraternizing with French soldiers drawn from the arid wastes ot northern Africa or the fierce Alger lans, who are fighting under the French tri-color; I saw him with Jacket off, and sleeves rolled, grimy with grease and sweat, helping shift the forage trains in dirty little Belgian railroad yards, where he seemed Just as much at home as though he was loafing in the streets of Manchester, or Portsmouth or London. "It took me just thirteen hours to

reach Boulogne from Paris. At one way-side station, I heard a shout and saw a body of men In kaani witn Kea Cross armlets suddenly run along the plaUorm. They were English. Describes Reception. "A party of wounded English soldiers was arriving from the front, and these Red Cross workers were receiving them. Some of the wounded were in Bore straits and seemed to be on the point of death. One wounded warrior with a blood rag around his head smoked his pipe philosophically. '"What happened' I asked him. "'This particular Tommy Atkins blew a cloud of smoke from his pipe and eyed me before answering: " They gave us 'ell,' he remarked finally." Col. Reppington, the military expert of the London Times deplores the rigid censorship which is making it almost impossible for the papers to get news. He says that It will cause "patriotism to languish and the success of the war depends upon satisfying the interests of the English people in the fate of their arms." Again he says: "Our army has a big job on its hands, and we can share at home information sent to Sir John French, commander in chief of the British expeditionary force at once." X IHI I
