This is a flat contradiction of a Central News dispatch from

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ANTWERP, Sept. 11.—The War Office issued the following
statement to-day:
‘““The Germans have completely evacuated the region of the
Schelde between Antwrp and Ghent. The Belgium army is pur
suing the German army corp marching toward France.’’
There has been some fighting at Aerschol, but the War Office
claims that it resulted in a Belgian success.
Big German Guns Rushed to Front
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
; PARIS, Sept. 11.—French aerial scouts report that the Ger
mans are rushing heavy guns to the front, but that it may be ten
days or two weeks before they are upon the firing line. It is
evident that the German generals will use every resource.and will
spend human life with reckless disregard to maintain a position
immediately northeast of Paris until the heavy artillery can be
brought up.
Owing to the enormous weight of the guns and the condition
of the country to be traversed, progress is necessarily slow.
The German force which fell back across the Marne bétween
LaFere-Sous-Jouarre and Chateau Thierry has lost a number of
prisoners and rapid-fire guns. A force of German captives, guard
ed by French chasseurs, passed through Paris at dawn. They will
be interned at some city southwest of the capital.
The German right flank is apparently retreating in the direc
tion of Soissons, leaving behind a detachment of German troops in
the territory roughly bordered by Senlis, Dammartin and Gonesse,
immediately northeast of the city. This district is weoded and
there is danger that this German force will be cut off’ and forced
‘to surrender or else be annihilated.
After making a desperate stand near Epernay and Chalens
sur-Marne, the Prussian guard which had been pushed forward
to the German firing line in an offensive movement, is falling
back upon Rheims, according to a report to General Gallieni.
The region between Chateau Thierry and LaFerte-Milton is
low and swampy, and the Germans found considerable difficulty
in moving artillery and cavalry.
Fighting is in progress in the southern part of the forest of
Argonnes.

Decisive Encounter May
Not Come for Many Days
Speclal Cable to The Atlanta Georgian,
PARIS, Sept, 11.—The conflict be
tween this city and the Alsatian fron
tier is made up of a series of battles
at various points along the line. It
may be many days before the engage
ment has a decisive conclusion. This
is accounted for by the enormous
number of men engaged. In previous
wars, where armies of less than one
half the numbers met, conditions
were more favorable for a short,
sharp battle, wherein one side secured
immediate advantage.
Military experts believe that one
factor, which ig daily becoming more
pronounced, is the exhaustion of the
German soldiers. They have been
marching and fighting for more than
three weeks, without any rest. Ref

say that the men and horses are suf
fering from- the hard usage to which
they have been subjected. Forage
and food is scarce and the German
infantrymen are gaunt and hungry.
Notwithstanding the ruthless labors
of war the discipline of the Germans
shines, The men move in precision
when they march and there are few
stragglers in the rear of the army. It
is obvious, however, that the men
show less spirit than they did a week
ago.,
It is apparently the Intention of the
German generals to throw forward

veterans a cessation from the con
tinuous fighting. These reinforce

for they have been pushed forward on
