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 tne people. As a scout, the aeroplane seems to render its most effective service.

LONDON, Sept. 14.
Tlie olhclal teport of Klcld Marsnal Sir
John French to the War Office on the
pa-t weekV llshtlns in France, which
resulted In a general retreat of the Ger-
i mans, was made publ.c by tlie Goveru-
nnt i're.i-s Bureau today.
It howd that since the battle at Mons,
on .unust 2S, the 111 at German arrav has
i been ensaK' d in a colossal game of strat
egy, endeavcrimi to duplicate the battle
of -trinn by outllanking and cnvelopnm'
the left wing of tlie allied army in ordei
to encircle both French and Hrltiuh and
drive them southward.
Field Marshal French shows that the
Germans drove southward with tremen
dous force, attempting to throw a wedge
twten Paris and tho allied army, but
tue strat-gy of the Fiench and Uritlsh
e-'iHinl staffs proed t lerlor.
Sir John pointed out that the Germans
luuj ex i eeted to carry out this envelop
ing movement to a successful conclusion
and enter Paris. Letters found on the
bodies of German soldiers and officers
proie this, said the Urltls'i general. By
their ability to n ovo forward, day after
day, op the big swing through northeast
ern France, tlie Germans had come o
look upon victory as being within their
siasp, when the tide suddenly turned.

port, "thnt the general position of the

BERLIN", by way of Amsterdam, Sept.
14.
A new Get man army has been sent
to France.
This Important news was otllclal'.y
announced here today. No Informt
tion was 'iven out us to the progress
of the campaign against the nllles, the
bare oillcinl announcement stating only
that another army had been dis
patched. It Is understood that this army is
under command of General Von Boehn,
and thnt it contains either three or
four army corps (120,000 or 1CO.00O men).
Part of General Von I3oehn's forces
have already reached Belgium and arc
In the vicinity of Itenalx.
(Tills indicates that the new German
nnny will bo used to strengthen the
German right wing and to prevent the
lines of communication being cut.)
There is some anxiety hero over tho
lack of ofiiclal announcements as to the
progress of tho campaign against tho
Franco-British armies, the last state
ment from tho General Staff merely
.Utiting that the Germans had fallen
