WRECKAGE IN PARIS CAUSED BY BOMBS DROPPED BY GERMAN AVIATORS FROM AEROPLANES
In the main the effect of aerial bombardments has been far less than was expected. Damage in Paris has been trifling and there has
been complete absence of panic among the people. As a scout, the aeroplane seems to render its most effective service.
ANTWERP HAS MANY SCARS AS THE RESULT OF GERMAN BOMBARDMENT FROM THE AIR
Here a more determined assault has been made by the Germans from the air than at Paris. Nevertheless, reports agree that
aerial assaults fail to inflict damage enough to be a factor in war. This form of attack amounts, usually, to murder

FRENCH AIRSHIP SHELLED
AT HEIGHT OF 5000 FEET
PETROGRAD. Sept. 14.
An Austrian force of 200,000 has sur
rendered in Galicia, according to the lat
est report received from the scene of
fighting. (A Paris dispatch conveys the
same nows.)
The entire strength of the Russian first
line troops was in action rounding up tho
completely crushed Austrian army, which
endeavored to rally under the shadow of
tho fortress of Przemysl nnd alonsr the
San River to a point north of Jaronlav.
It was ofTlclally stated hore today that
of the MO.00O Austrlana who comprise the
Austrian first llrte of troops 200.000 arc
already prisoners of war. The entire
army of General Dank! has been dis
persed, and the main armies of General
Mnrltz Von Auffcnberg and Archduke
Francis Frederick, which have been
heavily reinforced from German sources,
have suffered grt.itly.
Thero was no diminution of the Rus
sian attack, under tho Immediate di
rection of Grand Duke Nicholas the as
sault being kept tip. Strong Russian col
umns were sent down tho territory be
tween the San and the Vistula Rivers
from the north to attack thev Austrlans
on the flank and prevent further Ger
man reinforcements reaching them. At
the same time the centra army, com
manded by General Routsky, Ii driving
tho main Austrian forces before it from
the vlclnltv of Grodok.
The Russian General Staff officially
states:
The Austrian military strength Is
completely crushed. They aro retreat
ing in the utmost ulsonlcr everywhere,
Russian ' cavalry are pursuing them,
and harassing them, whllo Russian
artillery has been posted at certain
points to cut off the retreat. So pre
cipitate is the Austrian flight that they
aro abandoning everything. The roads
are siren n with rifles and personal
equipment thrown away by firming
AustnaiiH wno round that It hampered
their Might. Artillery has been mired
everywhere, nnd the fact that traces
were cut and not unfastened hnws
that Jho ene.my is completely pautc
stricken. Ve arc following up the advantage
Every high official here emphasizes the
fact that the Austrian campaign has com
pletely collapsed, and that the losses to
the dual empire are appalling.

LOXDO.V, Sept 14.
The Dally Mall's Petrograd correspond

French aviator, who Is serving with the
Russian army, of a flight taken over the
German position in company with a staff

"I roso to a height of 6000 feet," said
Polret. "Fighting was In full swing. The

PRINCE OF WALES TO JOIN
BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE
Will Be Attached to Staff of General
French,
LONDON, Sept. 14.
The Prince of Wales will leave In a few
day for the allies' front in France. lie
will be attached to tho staff of Field
Marshal Sir John French. The Princo Is
an offloer in the Grenadier Guards.
The German retreat In France has be
come virtually a general 'rout, the
rally of their armies in the region
of the Argonno being again repelled.
Tho German Crown Prince is still
stubornly resisting the allies. Tho
armies of Generals von Kluk nnd von
Buelow- aro retiring from the terri
tory where the fiercest fighting of
the war took place, abandoning tho
strategic positions gained through
great Iqss of life. Tho allies ,are, ian
tho offensive alori2the"cnllre line.
Pnrls and London, longln gloom over
tho successes of the Germans, today
rejoice. In victory. "Unparalleled In
extent and Intensity," wires Joftre,
commander of tho allies, to tho poo
plo of France In describing the Ger
man defeat. City after city which
Berlin shouted to the world when
they fell before the invaders have
Valenciennes, Amiens, LIHe, Lunev.llj,
Rheims, St. Die, Raon and a score of
cities, where thousands of Germans
laid down their lives that tho flag
might wave over the Hotel do Villes,
have again been taken by the French.
To the region of tho Argonne the rem
nants of tho six German armle-s are
moving with all the speed possible to
the fatigued soldiers. At this point
alone rests the salvation of German
arms in France. The allies are con
fident of victory. The flight con
tinues. Tho British and French have crossed
the Aisno, tho allies' centra la north
of tho Morne, while in tho east St.
Die has fallen. Toward the Valloy of
the Meuse, the last outlet Into Ger
many, tho allies are pressing the Ger
mans. In Belgium the Invaders have been
more successful today, pushing back
tho Antwerp army to the city fortifi
cations. Other reports, however,
state thnt Brussels will be retaken by
the army of King Albert and that the
country will be freed from the enemy
within a few days. Meanwhile, Itus
slan reinforcements for the allies are
landing at Ostend.
In Austria the Russians are moving
toward Vienna. Panic relens in the
capital. The doom of the dual mon
archy seems Inevitable, as tho whole
army of the north has been crushed.
Two hundred thousand prisoners have
been taken, the Carpathians crossed
and all roads cleared to the Invaders
Servla on the south Is moving toward
Budapest. A hrldgo has been erected
across the Save.
Germany reports sue esses In eastern
Prussia. Tho army at Koenlgsberg
apparently haa checked the Russians.
Petrograd, however, maintains that
success attends tha Russian army.
Italy Is reported to have Bent troops
tu Albania. Her participation In the
war 1b daily expected in diplomatic
Europe.

Tho retreat of tho Gorman army has
become a general rout. WHh tho ex

made by the troops under the German
Crown Prlnco, in the vicinity of the
forest of Argonne, the entire line has
been broken. Generally believed thnt
the Germans aro retreating to make
a final stand In the valley of the
Meuse. More than 500.000 fresh sol
diers nre held In Pnrls to be sent
against the Gcrm-.ns should tho armies
succeed in concentrating.
Germany: Berlin Is In gloom. Pop
ulace Is demanding news from Gov

has been relieved by announcement
that Koenlgsberg Is safe, pessimism
reigns regarding the French invasion.
Populace In dark regarding fighting
In Belgium and France.
Austria: Vienna In panic. Austrian

200,0iJ0 prisoners having been taken by
Russians. Attack upon capital ap

from the War Department at Bordeaux,

The Htntement says that tho Ger

of Rheims, where they had attempted
to rally their forces and make a stand,
hut that the overwhelming strength of
the French pursuit forced them ngaln
to retire.
The Germans have evacuated Am

From Nancy to this Vosges the re

From the stubborn resistance of the

at tho southern end of th region of
the forest of iho Argonne, which was
the last to give way before the tre.
mendous pressure of the French, it Is
probable that the net great battle will
take place In that region.
The allies have continued to pubh for
