GERMANS GAIN AND RETREAT Joffre Admits Loss In Roye Region. j LINES ARE UNBROKEN Battle y.Qisive; Allies’ Flanking Mo/ament Continues. — BUSS PUSH M IN HUNGARY I Sending of Troops to Aid Von Ktuck Weakens Teuton’s Center —Joffre Plans to Press Against Mons and Brussels and Aid Antwerp—Battle Along Hills of Champaign Remains Unchanged—Foe Driven Back in Argonne and Along Meuse. A late official statement from Paris says that the Germans are moving westward. The German cavalry are now signaled in the vicinity of Li:le. Fighting of the most desperate character continues. In the vicinity of Arias there has been very slight change. Fierce .fighting continues. An attack on the French line holding Lassigny failed. Paris reports the re-enforced German line continues its efforts to break through the encircling movement of the allies. It has gained slightly at new points, only to be thrust back violently at others. A great demonstration has been held at Milan, Italy, in favor of war against Austria. Signor Battisti, a Socialist deputy from Trent, Austria, addressed a huge meeting, saying that Trent was awaiting liberation by its Italian brothers. The German government has served a notice on Roumania that she must net enter Transylvania. The note Is considered in the nature of an ultimatum. A hasty meeting of the Roumania cabinet was summoned to consider the communication, but action had to be postponed because of the illness of the king, which is alleged to be a diplomatic illness. PARIS — The Germans have undeniably gained ground in the region of Roye at the hinge of the allied line. General Joffre admits a reverse. The allies’ line has bent under tremendous pressure but remains unbroken. North of the Oise, where the battle front forms a right angle, the fighting is violent hut indecisive. Meanwhile the Germans have apparently failed to check the flanking movement whose p.oint. according to unofficial information, is within sixteen miles of the Belgian frontier, more menacing than ever to Van Kluck’s western communications. General Joffre’s purpose now revealed points to a drive at Mons and Brussels, while holding fast in the main battle line. This contemplates . the relief of Antwerp as well as a weakening of the German center necessitated by army corps sent from the center to sup*port Von Kluck. Along the fortified hills of Champaigne, the deadlock continues, but in the Argonne and along the Meuse, the Germans, summoning fresh resources, are sleepless in their efforts to break the allied right wing and so open an urgently needed east and west line of communications from Metz. General Joffre assures the government that the attacks have been beaten back. The communiques of the twenty-third day es the battle are mere paragraphs of generalities, an indication, invariable of a poignant stage of conflict. The night communique was as follows; ‘ The general situation is unchanged. On our left wing fighting still continues. In the Argonne and on the heights of the Meuse we have repulsed attacks both by day and by night. “Grand Duke Nicholas, commander In chief of the Russian army, has stent a telegram announcing* the Russian victory at Augustowo to the minister of war to be communicated to General Joffre. General'Joffre has sent in his name and in the name of the French army his most hearty congratulations to the generalissimo of the friendly and allied army because of the victory as an indication of future successes.” Allies Admit Reverse. Official admission of the first French reverse for several days, a setback in the region where success was noted Sunday, was contained in the communique of the afternoon; “On our left wing north of the Oise the tattle continues with the utmost! vio’ence, the enemy Having again been ' heavily reinforced. The result of the j action continues undecided. We have been compelled to give ground at certain points. ; i “Along the remainder of the battle I line there has been no change in the

VBecause of the danger of German spies no persons are permitted to occupy the spires of the churches or the roofs of the tall buildings. The bombardment of the southern and eastern chain of forts continues without interval day and night. Rumors are current that some of the forts have been badly damaged, but the war office declares that the resistance is well maintained. The official statement issued said: Germans Lose Heavily. “The Germans continue their bombardment of the outer ring of forts. They have utterly failed, however,.in their attempts to gain a foothold at any point. In a series of sorties the garrison has inflicted great damage on the enemy, who has now abandoned all efforts to carry our positions by storm. Every single fort and redoubt is holding out.” Despite this optimistic declaration, however, it is known that the pressure is becoming so serious that urgent messages have been sent to the British and French general staffs asking that immediate steps be taken to force the Germans to raise their siege. Berlin Claims its Plans Successful LONDON — A dispatch to Reuter's Telegraph company from Berlin gives an official statement issued at the German headquarters. It says: “In the western theater the battle on the right wing and in the Argonne district is proceeding successfully. “The operations off Antwerp and in the eastern theater have been carried out according to plan and without fighting.” BERLIN — The Germans now claim to have 2440,0(H) prisoners of war -about 7,000 British, 40,000 Belgians, 100,000 Russians and the rest French.

WARSAW INVASION IS HALTED Char’s Men Take Tarnow Fortress— Ccssacks Within Ten Mile* of Cracow —Southern Army Takes Offensive—Central Army Under Czar if Marching Toward Brest-Litovsk. The Russian armies in pursuit of the Germans who have been driven from the Nieman River region are now threatening the Germans on their front and flank. LONDON — The news from the eastern theater of war. summarized, is as follows: In northwestern Galicia, the Russians have captured the fortress of Tarnow. Cossacks are raiding within ten miles of Cracow. The czar’s southern armies are developing their offensive against the right wing of the Austrc-German forces. In southwestern Poland, in the general region of Cracow, near Kielce, Russian cavalry has defeated German troops sent from France to defer. 1 Craccw. Unquestionably a great battle has been.begun in that region, a combat which may determine the fate of Cracow and Silestia. To the north in western Poland, a great force of Germans striking toward Warsaw' has been pressed hack by the Russians. Simultaneously the Russian central army, now under the personal command of Czar Nicholas, is advancing toward the Posen-Kalisz line with BrestLitovsk, a railway center on the Bug river, as its base. The cavalry screen of this army is in conflict with German outposts. Rennenkampf Holds Germans. In the East Prussia-Suwalki field of operations General Rennenkampf, after routing the Germans along the River Niemen and frustrating an advance toward Warsaw from the northwest, has driven a wedge between German columns acting respectively around Druskeniki and Ossowiee and has turned both flanks. Rennenkampf’s large force is obviously struggling to hold at bay the Geiman force at the Fast Prussia frontier so as to give time for the advance of the Russian central arm/ aga ist Breslau. Petrograd reports that he has been uniformly successful in this strategy. For the first time there is definite news of the Russian central army, the Ixost which has been preparing for the real invasion of Germany while campaigns in East Prussia and Galicia have serv ed to insure the safety of the flanks. This army, estimated as oi 1.000.000 men, is under the command of the Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian commander in chief, with headquarters at Brest-Litovsk, a railway junction at the intersection of the Bug and Moukhavietz rivers.
