SIR JOHN FRENCH TELLS OF MOVEMENT [ Continued From llrst Page] Pushed ills Flank Hack "The commander of the First Corps j had pushed his flank back to some high ground south of Bray and the! Fifth Cavalry evacuated Blnche, mov ing slightly south. The enemy there- j upon occupied Hinche. "The right of the Third Division, under General Hamilton, was at Mons, which formed a somewhat dangerous salient and 1 directed the commander of the Second Corps if threatened seriously to draw back the center be hind Mons. This was done before dark. "In the meantime, about 5 in the afternoon, I received a most unex pected message from General Joffro by telegraph, telling nie that at least three German corps were moving on my position in front and that a second corps wjis engaged in a turning move ment from the direction of Tournai. He also informed me that the ••o re serve French divisions and the Fifth French Army Corps on my right were retiring, the Germans having on the previous day gained possession of the passage of the Samhre between Char ieroi and Namur. "In view of the possibility of my being driven from the Mons position. 1 had previously ordered a position in the rear to be reconnoitered. This position rested on the fortress of Mati beuge on the right and extended west to Jenlaln. southeast of Valenciennes on the left. The position was report ed difficult to hold because standing I crops and buildings made the sighting lof trenches very difficult and limited ( the fire in many important localities. It nevertheless afforded a few good artillery positions. l ighting on Whole Line "When the news of the retirement of the French and the heavy German threatening on my front reached me, 1 endeavored to confirm it by aero plane reconnoisance and as a result of | this I determined to effect a retire ment to the Maubeuge position at day break on the 24th. "A certain amount of fighting con tinued along the whole line through out the night and at daybreak on the 24th the Second Division from the neighborhood of Harmignies made a powerful demonstration as if to retake i Blnche. This was supported by the artillery of both the First and the Second Division, while the First Di vision took up a supporting position in the neighborhood of Pelxsant. Un- j der cover of this demonstration the Second Corps retired on the line of. Dour, Qurouble and Frameriess. The Tihrd Division on the right of the i corps suffered considerable loss in . I this operation from the enemy, who . | had retaken Mons. "The Second Corps halted on this line, where they enrenched them selves, enabling Sir Douglas Haig, with the First Corps to withdraw to ' the new position, and he effected this [ without much further loss, reaching ■ the line from Bavay to Maubcuge 1 about 7 In the evening. Attack Directed at loft s "Towards midnight the enemy ap peared to be directing his principal > effort against our left. I had previous ■ ly ordered General Allenby with the i cavalry to vigorously attack in ad t vance of my front and endeavor to i i take the pressure off. I "About 7.30 in the morning General • Allenby received a message from Sir . Charles Fergusson, commanding the ■ Fifth Division, saying he was vary i hard pressed and in urgent need of •l support. On receipt of this inesstge, •[General Allenby drew in his cavalry > and endeavored to bring direct sup ■ port to the Fifth Division. "During the course of this operation I r General Dlst, of the Second Cavalry I , Brigade, thought he saw a good op-1 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH portunity to paralyse the further ad vani*> of enemy's infantry by making a mounted atta.-k on his flunk. Ho formed up and advanced for this pur pose. but was held up by wire about 500 yards from bis objective and the Ninth ijanrers and the Kighteenth I Hussars suffered severely in the re tirement of the brigade. Great Losses Suffered "The Nineteenth infantry Brigade, which had been guarding the line of communication, was brought by rail to Valenciennes on the 22nd and 23rd. On the morning of the 24th they were | moved out to a position south of Quorouble to the flank of the Second Corps. "With the assistance of cavalry Sir Horace Smith Dorrien was enabled to effect his retreat to a new position, although having two corps of the enemy on his front and one threaten ing his flank. He suffered great losses in doing so. "At nightfall a position was occu pied by the Second Corps to the west of Havay, the First Corps to the right. The right was protected by the fortress of Maubeuge, the left by i the Nineteenth Brigade in position be j tween Jenlay and Bruay, and cavalry on the outer flank. The French were J still retiring and I had no support ex cept such as was afforded by the fortress of Maubeuge. and determined efforts of the enemy to get around my flank assured me that it was his in tention to hem me against that place and surround me. I felt that not a moment must be lost in returning to unother position. I had every reason to believe that the enemy's forces were some what exhausted and I knew that they had suffered heavy losses. I hoped therefor that his pursuit would not he too vigorous to prevent mc ef fecting my object. The operation, however, was full of danger and dif ficulty, not only owing to the very (superior forces in my front, but also to the exhaustion of the troops. "The retirement was recommenced in the early mornng of the 25th to a position in the neighborhood of I
