Tho armies of Generals von Kluk nnd von Buelow are retiring from the terri tory where the fiercest fighting of the war took place, abandoning the strategic positions gained thtoug-h great loss of life. The allies are on tho offensive along the entire line. Paris and London, long in gloom over the successes of the Germans, today rejoice In victory. "Unparalleled In extent and Intensity," wires Joffre, commander of the allies, to the peo ple 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, Lille, Lunevllle. Rheims, St. Die. P.aon and a score of cities, where thousands of Germans laid down their lives that the flag might wave over the Hotel de VHles, have ugnlti been taken by the French. To the region of the Argonne the rem nants of tho six German armies are moving with all the speed possible to the fatigued soldiers. At this point alone rests the salvntlon of German arms In France. The allies are con fident of victory. The flight con tlnues. The British and French have crossed the Aisne. the allies'. centre is north of tho Marne, while In tho east St. Die has fallen Toward the Valley of the Meuse. 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 fortifi cations. Other reports, however, state that 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, Rus sian reinforcements for the allies are landing at Ostend In Austria the Russians are moving toward Vienna Panic reigns In the capital. The doom of the dual mon archy seems inevitable, us the 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 bridge has been erected across the Save. Germany reports su essea In eastern Prussia The army at Koenlgsberg apparently has checked the Russians Petrograd, however, maintains that success attends th? Russian army. PARIS, Sept. 14. "The German armies of Invasion again have been dlsloged from nil their fortified positions and are retreating with rapidity and in disorder every where." This official announcement was Is sued here by General Galllenl, the Mil itary Governor of Paris, on authority from the War Department at Bordeaux, ut 3 o'clock this afternoon. The statement says that the Ger mans had prepared a line of defenses north of the Aisne and In the vicinity of Rheims. where they hpd attempted to rally their forces and make a stand, but that the overwl Jfnlng strength of the French pursuit tbrced them again to retire. The Germans have evacuated Am iens, retreating in the direction of Peronne and St. Qucntln From Nancy to the Vosgcs the 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 the Argonne, which was tho last to give way before tho tre mendous pressure of the French. It Is probable that the next great battle will take place In that region. The allies have continued n push for ward their ndvance columns and have reoccupied a score of towns previously enptured by the Germans. More than 500,000 fresh troops of the allied army 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 the only line of communication they hold Intact and unthreatoned, west of the forest of Argonne, through Namur, Liege, tho valley of the Meuso and Luxemburg. Late reports state that the general retirement of the five German armies is becoming a rout. They have been forced to abandon the valley of the Olse, which would be their natural route, and are withdrawing to the jorth through the barren and difficult country of Champagne. The other pos sible lino of retreat, by Mezieres and Montmedy to Luxemburg, Is com manded by the French guns at Ver dun. The armies of Generals von Kluk and von Buelow are retiring with rapid ity from the points which three days ago were the scene of the fiercest fight ing by the German centre. The Germans have retired north and east of Rheims, and It is evident they do not Intend to make a stand there. Fiom Chateau-Thierry, a correspond ent reports that the German General Staf's plan of campaign now involves the evacuation of the northwest of France and Belgium and a concentra tion eastward, either for the purpose of a rebound against the allies or to save the Empire Itself, as events may dictate. I This means abandonment of the hope of attacking Paris In the near futuro. Tho new plan means Improved western communication and a general concen tration of the allies with an opportu nlty for a decisive battle possibly on the lino of Laon, Rheims and Chalons. Even If the combined German armies of the Aisne and the Argonne are de feated, then there will remain the great fortresses of the Rhine and the Mosello. Twenty thousand Germnit'AtTfAiS-' 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 the Anglo French lines. The Germans are not only suffering from lack of provisions and ammuni tion, but their movements are also hampered by a scarcity o cavalry horres. The German army under General von Kluk, which made up the right wing of the grand host of six separata armies, is now said to be between 60 and 70 miles from the most advanced point which it occupied on the swing toward the southeastward when tho allies were giving ground. According to ttw officiil announce ment of tho War Ofllce. the various sections of the retiring German army now hold a line which, roughly epeaJ. Ing, extends immediately north of Laon southeastward through the forest of Argonne, thence In a northerly direc tion in the rear of Verdun and north east of Nuncy and Lunevllle. The French forces in the Department of Muerthe-st-Mosehe are pushing northward from Lunevllle and Nanoy along the Moselle Valley, with the orobabl Intention of getting east of the German army. If the Germans at tempt to cut their way through tho French forces holding positions at Ver dun, the French from the valley of the Moselle will be In a position to rein force them. Otherwise, the French could throw a strong force across ths Meuse near Charlevtlie and Meziere In an effort to block the Germans from re tiring Into Luxemburg. FRENCH HOTLY PURSUE FLEEING GERMAN ARMY WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. Official word that tho French army Is pursuing the Germans with unpar alleled vigor as the. latter retreat to the northward, and that the vietory of the allies is becoming more bril liant, was cabled by the French De partment of War to Its Brabassy here today.
