GERMAN'S RIGHT RETREATS, IS LONDON ANNOUNCEMENT LONDON, Sept. 21. The Germnn rlht Ib retiring. Whether It 1b dropping back to oRCapo being enveloped by tho Franro-Urltlah troops or Is moving ti effort n Juncture- with the 100,000 reinforcements said to have been Hcnt to General von Kink's aid from Maubeuge Is still un certain, although military observers aro Inclined to believe- the movement Is a real retreat before superior num bers. The steady ndvanco of the Brltlt.li and French has exposed General von Kink's right, find he has swung his army still further around to the cast of No on. A dispatch to a news agency here yesterday from Solssons declared that ho and his army hud been surrounded, but this Is supposed to have been merely a repetition of the reports earlier In the week, which were based on tho success of tho Al lies In encircling his right. A general retirement by tho Germans from tho positions they have held for tho last eight and one-half days is be lieved here from the furious renewal of fighting In tho last three days. This concerted offensive movement, of which tho bombardment of Ilhclms is a part. In three distinct points, Is believed to be merely to cover a retreat which may extend to the German border and oven to tho lino of defensive works along tho Ilhlnc. A military onieer, who has Jut re turned to London from tho front, stntes that British aviators report a large number of transport wagons, ap parently motor vehlclos, carrying mu nitions of war, and cannon have been moving from the German rear townrd their frontier. Added weight Is given the theory by the dispatches from Rome yesterday to the effect that orders have been Is sued by the Berlin War Ofllco for an abandonment of French territory, with 1100,000 troops to cover the retirement by a vigorous defense of the present Intrenched lines. The Germans aro handicapped by the fact that they must protect I.aon and Ternlger at all costs, as those are the only railroad centres connecting their forces at the front with Lorraine and with southern Belgium. The Impor tance of lthelms from a strategical point of view lies In the fact that It controls eight Important railroad lines. Latest accounts say that the Allies' lines are intact, but that nil advances are retarded by the rains, which have filled trenches and made roads so heavy that only light artillery can bo trans ported except with tho greatest difll culty. Along tho Allies' centre and right both sides have won temporary suc cesses, but thew! have always been coun ter balanced by small defeats BATTLE IN TRENCHES RAGES AS ARTILLERY THUNDERS ON AISNE MONTENEGRINS TAKE STRONG POST IN RUSH ON BOSNIAN CAPITAL Allies Fight Waist Deep in Water Night and Day Be fore Terrific Fire of Ger mans' Heavy Guns.

At the conclusion of the meeting this morning no statement wns Issued, hut It generally Is believed that Italy's future attitude had been under discussion. Despite the denial of the Austrian Gov ernment the tentlon Is getting higher, and the government has placed guards at tho disposal of both the German and Austrian nmhassles. A procession, preceded hy bands playing patriotic airs, marched to the Torta Pla on Sunday to celebrate' the anniversary of the cntrv of the Italians into Rome. The marchers cheered wildly whlla pass-' Ing the British Hmhassy, where the Union Jack was flying. A demonstration against neutrality was to have been held In Naples, but was called off owing to the objections of the authorities. Negotiations, the nature of which Is unknown, are pending between Italy nml Rumania. It is possible that a new Balkan alliance may bo fnimcd to In- j elude Italy instead of Greece. The Rumanian rjovernment has placed an order foi 10000,000 cartridges -with Italian factories.

Tho success of tho German ships In evading the British fleet and escaping to tho Dardanelles has been one of tho naval mysteries of tho war. In ollleial circles it Is believed that If they had been captuied or sunk tho possibility of Turkey's joining tho war would have been wholly averted. Rear Admiral Troubrldge was appointed chief of the admiralty's war staff In 1311, and a year later held chief command In the Mediterranean. Though the ollleial statement issued last night told of a number of British naval r-uccciscB, the mlmlsslnn that German cruisers are harassing British shipping, rapturing and sinking a number of ves sels, Mas served to cause some apprehension.
