When the German army began its eastward movement to cut the French center, according to General French, it was ignoring the British as a factor in the fight.

Paris, Sept. 15.—It is officially an nounced this afternoon that the Ger mans are still retiring everywhere. They are abandoning-•.'^•^^positions •which they erected to retreat. The official statemei^ folldw's: "First—On our left jwing the enemy had prepared, to the north of .Aisne, between Compiegni? and Soissops, a line of defense which .it was forced to abandon. Some detachments which it had held at Amiens now have ertired upon Perrons and St. Quentin. "Second—On the center the Ger mas have taken .up a defensive posi tion behind Reims, but were unable to hold it. In the.

Paris, Sept. 15.—The retreat of Generals Von Kluck and Von Buelow continued at last accounts with con siderable rapidity. The only official comment during the night was that the allies are keeping in contact with the enemy and had crossed the River Aiene. The whereabouts of the Ger mans is not revealed, but it is evident that they do not intend to make a stand on the line from Rheims to Soissons. It is hardly likely, it is thought ehre, that they will halt their Tetreat before reaching Belgium. They have already made two-thirds of the distance from Provins, in tae depart ment of Seine et Marne, to the fron tier.

The Ger mans of the right army seemed de moralized. They were without food and surrendered readily, according to the British report. London, Sept. 15—The official bur eau issued a statement saying that Sunday the Germans stubbornly re sisted the passage of the Aisne river by British troops, but despite the dif ficulty of fording the river in the face of a strong fire, the crossing was made at sunset. London, Sept. 15.—The first stage of the battle of the Marne, which from the number of fighting men engaged, the extent of the line of battle and the terrific slaughter, may perhaps cor Tectly be described as "the battle of the ages," appears to have been won by the French and British armies, but the main German army is still in tact and the supreme clash is still to come. The present week may see even more desperate encounters than any which have taken place. Metz, the capital of Lorraine and the chain of forts thence to Diedenhoff on the Moselle, seventeen mile8 north of Metz, form a strong pivot for the German left, while the river courses and dense forests on the frontier, to gether with the strategic roads, give the German army of invasion, now in retreat, a splendid opportunity for de fensive action, should the French pur suit extend this far. Military observers forsee all kinds of perplexing possibilities in the event of the Germans regaining the positions they held before they started the rush of a million and a half men on Paris, particularly should they succeed in re couping any portion of their losses, Chamberlain's Liniment.
