know when you send your money

money, yon must trust to the in

ARMIES PAUSE NEAR PARIS
GERMANS AND ALLIES,
BRACED FOR STRUGGLE,
SUSPEND FICHTING
Paris, Sept. 5 (1:55 a. m.) —
i The war office at Bordeaux late
> last night sent the follow ing com
-1 munieation to the press bureau
here :
"On our left the enemy appears
' jto neglect Paris to pursue its
turning movement. It has reached
r j La Ferte Sous-Jouarre (Depart -
* ment of Seine and Marne, 11
miles east of Merux), passed
■ Rheims and descended on the west
1 ' bank of the river in Argonne.
" This maneuver has not succeeded
today more than on preceding
' days.
Paris, Sept. 4—The following
! official announcement, was made
this evening.
! , if I
"The movements of the oppos-
I ed armies outside of Paris con
tinued without any attempt hav
ing been made today by the one
j my against our various positions."
London, Sept. 4—The official
press bureau late tonight issued a
report saying that the situation in
the French theater of war has un
dergone no substantial change.
The position of the allies is well j
maintained. The bulletin states
that a German movement in an
eastward and southeastward di
rection is developing. In short,-
Paris is awaiting the news of the
beginning of the great battle im
(pending outside her gates.
A dispatch to the Reuter Tele
graph Company from Antwerp
savs that part of the German right
lias been driven back upon St.
Quentin and that the attempt to
i envelop the allies' left apparent
ly has been frustrated.
Paris reports that the German;
[left is being held back at Verdun j
I
(and that the efforts to force a
passage of the Meuse has been
successful.
In view of the fact that German
' cavalry were reported early yes
terday at Senlis and Chantilly,!
'about 17 miles from Paris, it is
difficult to account for the retire
: ment.
No official confirmation of the:
German retreat upon St. Quentin
has been received. The allies are
strengthening their positions up
on the lines of Paris forts, while a
1
few miles away the Germans are ;
training their siege guns and pre
paring for the general engage
ment. The opposing armies have
not yet come in contact.
It is announced by Renter's Tel
i egram Company that the Germans
! are bombarding Termonde. a fort
ified town of Belgium, 16 miles
I from Ghent. This would indicate
I that the Germans are in Belgium
1 in strength, and if they are to be
engaged by the Russian army re
ported to have been landed from :
English transports they are ready!
for the attack. The town has 10.- j
000 people.

While the Germans had been re
jrorted at Compeigne and Senlis
in the valley of the Oise, and win
dows were broken at Chantilly by
the detonations of heavy guns, the
Antwerp reports intimate that on
ly the kaiser's cavalry had ad
vanced as near Paris as Senlis
and it was this screen of cavalry
that had been driven back across
the Somme upon Bt. Quentin by
the French and English in a des
perate attempt to save Paris.
The war office withholds partic
ulars of the transportation of a
Russian army into France, but no
doubt is held here that a force of
almost 100.000 of the czar's men
is already engaging the German
rear and threatening its communi
cations.
Engagement Announced.
Mr. and Mrs. James A. Camp
bell. of Park wood, have announc

all Europe was involved in a de
vaatating war, which was largely

times in history.
Several foreign cardinals have
not vet arrived in Rome. Among
those absent are Cardinal Gibbons'
and Cardinal O'Connell of the Un-i

ited States. In the conclave were!
fifty-seven members of the sacred
