GERMAN ADVANCE BITTERLY CONTESTED! French and British Stubbornly Fight Kaiser's I Forces Contesting Every Foot of Advance on Paris?Recruits and Guns Are Requi sitioned by the European Allies London, August 29.?11.15 p. m.?The French and British are gathering every man and gun available in northwestern France in an attempt to stop the German advance on the road to Paris. It is also said that General Joffre, Gommander-in-chief of the French army, will endeavor to strike at the German right and bring relief to British and French forces which have been placed in a criti cal situation by the German outflanking movement How far the allies have succeeded in getting across the German path is not disclosed, for the outside world is ignorant to night of what is happening on the battlefield. A report comes from both Antwerp and Copenhagen that the Germans have commenced a movement back from the west to meet the Russians' advance throug East Prussia. But it is hardly likely they will make any great demands on the western army until the big battle in which there seems to have been a lull has been definitely decided. Field Marshal Sir John French, the British commander, whose army has been hard pressed, was in communication wiith British war office late today, which disproved the German official report that the British had been encircled by'the GerrnEns. ' ? Today's reports from the German general staff arc not more il luminating than merely to say that the crown prince's army, which oc cupied Longwy, is now advancing toward the Meuse, that a French advance from Nancy had been repulsed, and that third army is ad vancing through the Vosges. This is probably the army which was said to be making Belfort its objective. The Russians continu? their march through East Priussia, and confirmation comes t?night of the statement tha$ they had invested Koenigsberg and had taken Allenstein. It wtl! 'be a long time, how ever, before they can directly threaten Berlin, or, indeed before their millions of men can reach the scene of the Austrian frontier where troops of the Russian emperor are engaged in a-general battle on <i front of 186 miles between the 'Vistula and Lemburg, capital Of Galacia. There is considerable uneasiness over the attitude of Turkey. Athens tonight repeated the report that German naval-officers and k.rs are on. ihe.ir way '.ig; Qonstan?inn???. and more men are recjufred to reinforce them, and particularly, of young men patching matches'while Secreatry for War Kitchener isj calling for recruits. Field Marshal Lord Roberts referred to this today in a speech) to a new battalion of Royal fusiniers recruited from business and pro fessional men of London. He expressed his* intense admiration for them, saying: "How difficult is your action to that of the men who still can go on with their cricket and football as if the very existence of the country were not at stake. This is not the time to play games, whole some as they are, in times of piping peace. We are engaged in a life and death struggle." Battle of Helgoland Graphically Described London. Aug. 29.?8:20 p. m.?Tho crows of destroyers which have ar rived in port sky that at least eleven German vessels of various sizes were sunk in tho engagement of Helgoland. Towards the end of the battle ttuino English pinnaces, engaged in picking up-Germans who were 'struggling'In the water, were followed by tho Ger man squadron and had to retreat, leaving the men to their fate.
