The German army under the Crown

An 'official statement says!
The Germans havo evacuated the
region of Nancy, which for ten
days resisted and splendidly re
pulsed alt tho German attacks.
The attack of September 7 wan
personally directed by the Kaiser.
Tho French took Lunevlllo on
September U.
The Germans lost 20,000 men at
Nnncy and 11,000 at Lunevlllo.
The Invaders have abandoned
the district before Belfort and tho
allies will occupy It,
Reliable roports from the front states
that tho movements of tho Fronch

right flank has pushed back the Ger- j
man troops nt Xomeny and Fontct- '
Mousson, and that both of these places ,
have been occupied by the French
army. i
(Pont-ot-MousBon lies on tho Moselle
River, 17 miles south by southwest '
from Metz. Notncny Is on the Selllo
River. 8 miles southeast of Pont-et- .
Mousson.) I
Tho French forces In tho Department (
of Muerthe-et-MoscUo are pushing '
northward from Lunevllle and Nancy
along the Moselle Valley, with th
probable Intention of Betting cast of
tho' German army. If the Germans at- '
tempt to cut their way through the
French forces holding positions at Ver
dun, the French from the valley of the
Moselle will bo in a position to rein
force them. Otherwise, the French
could throw a strong force across tho i
Meuse near Charleville and Mezieres In
an effort to block the Germans from re
tiring Into Luxemburg.

KITCHENER TWICE IN FRANCE
TO ADVISE ALLIES' CHIEFS
War Secretary Composes Differences
Arising Out of Battle of Charlerol.
U3NDO:.'. Sept. H.
Ixrd Kitchener has been at the front
twice within the last fortnight. His later

War Orllco for to days and a naif, was
to conftr with Field Marshal Sir John

commander-in-chief of the French army.
It li known that for some tim there
has been considerable difference of opin
ion between the Bilush and French lead
ra, arising out of the retreat of the al
lies after the battle of CharUrol. So
acute did the feellns beeom between the
two leaders that Ird Kltchnr deemed
H necessary to Inter ene personally,
which he did successfully.
In connection with Lord Kitchener's
absence from London this weeK the of
flclal Prss Bureau requested the London
newspapers not to make any mention of
thla movement. In fact, the day after
he left, the Tress Bureau Issued a
bulletin to the effect that "Lord Kltcli.

rhla was for the purpose of preventing
si Uakase of news of Lord Kltshenr's
prtaence at the front, news in nblca Ber

"The sortie, which at first seemed to
be merely a skirmish operation against
covering troops left by the enemy In

tion on nn extensive scale. Tho enemy's
position was very Mronp, owing to the
nature of the ground and the earthworks
thrown up during tho lust fortnight.
"The necessity for holding this posi

call for all available forces. Thus th
