Word of tho tragedy was received today

The German retreat In Franco has bo
come virtually a general rout, the
rally of their armies In the region
of the Argonne being again repelled.
Tho German Crown 1'rlnce; In still
Btubornly resisting1 tho ullle?. The
armies of Generals von Kluk nnd von
IJuelow are retiring- from the terri
tory where the fiercest fighting of
tho war took place, nbandnninf? the
strategic positions gained through
great loss of life. The allies are on
the offensive along the entire line.
Parla and London, long in gloom over
tho successes of the Germans, today
rejoice In victory. "Unparalleled in
extent and Intensity," wlros JofTre,
commander of the allies, to tho peo
ple of France In describing the Oer
man defeat. City after city which
Berlin shouted to the world when
they fell before the Invaders have

Ithelms, St. Die, Itnon nnd a score of
cities, where thousands of Germans
laid down their lives that the flat?
mlifht wave- over the Hotel de Villes,
have ngaln been taken by the French.
To the region of the Argonno the rem
nants of the six German armies are
niovlnK with all the speed possible to
the fatigued soldiers. At this point
ntone rests the salvation of German
urms in France. The allies are con
fident of victor'. The flight con
tinues. Tho British and French have crossed
the Alsne, the allies' centre Is north
of the Marne, while In the east St.
Ule has fallen. Toward the Valley of
the Mouse, the last outlet Into Ger
many, the allies are pressing the Ger
mans. In Belgium the invaders have been
more successful today, pushing back
the Antwerp army to the city fortlfl
catlups. Other reports, however,
state that Brussels will be retaken by
tho army of King: Albert and that the
country will be freed from the enemy
within a fow days. Meanwhile, Rus
slan reinforcements for the allies are
landing at Ostend.
In Austria the Russians aro moving
toward Vienna. Panic relpns in the
capital The doom of the dual mon
archy beems Inevitable, as the whole
army of the north has been crushed.
Two hundred thousand prisoners have,
been taken, the Carpathians creased
and all roads cleared to the invaders.

PAULS, Sept. 14.
"Tho ( Senium armies of Invasion
again have been dlslogcd from all their
fortified positions and aro retreating
with rapidity and in disorder every
where." This ofllcial announcement was is
sued hero by General Gallieni, tho Mil
itary Governor of Parif, on authority
from the War Department at Bordeaux,
at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The statement says that tho Ger
mans had prepared a line of defenses
north ot the Alsne and in tho vicinity
of Kholms, where they had attempted
to rally their forces and make a stand,
but that tho overvihelmlng' strength of
the French pursuit forced them again
to retire.
Tho Germans have evacuated Am
iens, retreating, in the .direction of
Pcronnc and St. Queutln.
Trom Nancy to tho Vosgcs tho re
treat Is general. The French territory
In this vicinity is now totally evacuated.
From the stubborn resistance of the
army under the German Crown Prince
at the southern end of the region of
the forest of tho Argonno, which was
tho last to tflvo way before tho tre
mendous pressure of th French, It is
probable that the next great battle will
take place In that region.
The allies have continued o push for
ward their advance columns and haves
reoccupled a score of towns previously
captured by the Germans.
More than 3J0.O00 fresh troops of the
allied nrmy are being held in Paris to
be hurled against the Invaders when
they turn at bay for a final stand.
The Germans are retreating on tho
only line of communication they hold
Intact and unthreatcned, west of the
forest of Argonne, through Namur,
Liege, tho valley of tho Meuao and
Luxemburg.
I Late reports state that tho general
retirement of the ftvo German armies
la becoming a rout. They have, been
forced to abandon the valley of the
Olse, which would be thejr natural
route, and aro withdrawing to the
sorth through the barren and dUftcult
:ountry of Champagne. The other pos
sible line of retreat, by Mezleres and
Montmedy to lAisemburg; is com
manded by the French nuns at Verdun,
do not Intend to make a stand thero.
From Chateau-Thierry, a correspond
ent reports that the German General
Staff's plan of campaign now Involves
tho evacuation of the northwest of
Franco and Belgium and a concentra
tion eastward, either for tho purpose
of a rebound against the allies or to
save the Empire Itself, as events may
dictate.
This means abandonment of the hope
of attacking Paris In tho near future.
The now plan means Improved western;
communication and a general concen
tration of the allies with an opportu
nity for a decisive battle possibly on
the Hne of Laon, Rheims and Chalons.
Even If the combined German armies
of the Aisno and the Argonne aro de
feated, then thero will remain the grea
fortresses of the Khlno and the Moselle.
Twenty thousand Germans nre said
to have fallen in the fighting at Nancy
and 11,000 more at Lunevllle. French
officers claim that at least 50,000 Ger
mans must have beer, killed In the at
tempts to cut through tho Anglo
French lines.
Tho Germans are not only suffering
from lack of provisions and ammuni
tion, but their movements ure. ah?'
hampered by a scarcity o" cavalry
horses.
The German army under General von
Kluk, which made up the right wing
of tho grand host of sis separate
armies, Is now said to be between 60
and 70 miles from tho most adva.iced
point which It occupied on tho swing
toward tho southeastward when thV
allies were giving ground.
According to the otllo'xl announce
ment of the War Ofllco, tho various
sections of the retiring German armr
now hold a hne which," roughly speak
ing, extends Immediately north of Laun
southeastward through the forest of
Argonne, thence in ft northerly dlrco.

east of Nancy and Luneville.
The French forces in the Dopartrrent

probable Intention of getting east of
