Having saved tho hulk of Ha army
by a, retreat that at certain portions
bordered on a rout, tho German Gen

There Is no attempt In Paris today
to delude any one with a belief that
because of tho great victory of the
battle of the Marno tho war Is over.
German soil Is still Intact and It is
nccepted that there can hardly be a
lasting peace that Is not signed In Ber
lin itself. But every one believes that
the great German menace, a feeling
that the Kaiser's war machine was
composed of supermen, has been re
moved. The French have found that
they can beat the Get mans and this
feeling will aid greatly to the success
of future operations.
Fighting was In progress all along
the line today. The German rear
guard Is contesting every step of the
way. The lines have been closed up
and their resistance is reported much
Btronger than at any time since the
retreat began. But they are still re
treating. Their northern lines of com
munication are endangered and the
pressure on their eastern lines through
Luxemburg and the territory south is
very great.

GERMANS RUSH FRESH
ARMY TO FACE ALLIES
BERLIN", by way of Amsterdam, Sept.
It.
A new German urmy has been sent
to France.
This important news was otllcially
announced here today. No Informa
tiun was given out as to the progress
of tho campuign against the allies, the
bare ollielal announcement stating only
that another army had been dls.
patched
It is understood that this army Is
under command of General Von "Uoehn,
and that' It contains either threu or
four army corps (120,000 or 160,000 men).
Part of General Von lioehn's forces
have already reached Belgium and nre
in the vicinity of Renaix.
(This indlcutes that tho new German
army will bo used to strengthen the
German right wing and to prevent the
lines of communication being cut.)
There is some anxiety here over tho
lack of oftlclal announcements as to the
progress of the campaign against the
Franco-British armies, the last state
ment from the General Staff merely
stating that the Germans had fallen
back to strong positions where they
could withstand an attack.

Germans drove southward with tremen
dous force, attempting to throw a wedge
between Paris nnd tho allied uiiuy, but
the strategy of the French and British
general staffs proved sipeilor.
Sir John pointed out that tho Germans
fully expected to carry out this envelop
ing movement to a successful conclusion
and enter Paris. Letters found on tho
bodies of German soldiers and officers
proe th.s, said the tliltlsh general. By
their ability to move forward, day after
day, on the big swing through northeast

look upon victory as being within their
grasp, when thu tide suddenly turned.
"It will be remembered," tajs tno re
port, "that the general position of the
British troops on September 6th was

forces in lino on their right and left.
There had been practlcaly no changes

"On ttie 4th It became apparent that
there was an alteration In the direction
of tho ndvance of almost the uholo first

them southward. The German forces op
