BORDEAUX, Sept. 13.
The French War Office afternoon an
nouncement declares that at no point
have the Germans been able to make
a serious stand against the pursuing
French columns. They are giving bat

actions, covered by artillery, but It is
plain that the objective of the Ger
mans Is to reorganize their scattered
columns and attempt a defenso In the
Intrenched lines prepnred by tho sap

Meanwhile, the allies havo taken
many prisoners. Entire regiments are

e rolling oack of the German tide that swept all over northern France and south and southeast of the Marnc and Paris itself, almost to
the upper Seine, on September 6, the new line of contact between the German armies and the allies is now practically that of the last weeks of August.
Toward the north and northwest of Paris the Germans have abandoned Amiens and nearby towns, and moving north from their battle line on the Aisne,
have retreated toward St. Quentin. In the centre they have retreated from Rhcims, which they had fallen back to from the Valley of the Marne, and have
given up their positions south of the Argonne, while the French have practically regained the frontier near Nancy and the passes in the Vosges, and have
also retaken some of the border towns in Alsace, near Belfort. At Verdun, B crlin reports renewed bombardment, but the French report the Germans under
the Crown Prince as moving north.

AUSTRIANS NOW CLAIM
VICTORY NEAR LEMBERG
ROME, Sept. 13.
Domestic politics and foreign diplomacy
are exerting tremendous pressure against
the Italian Government In tho present
war crisis of Europe, some groups de
manding war and others Insisting upon
neutrality and peace.
Tho committee of direction of the Radi
cal party, at a meeting attended by mem
bers of Parliament, has adopted a resolu
tion cnlllng on tho Government "to con
sider whether tho grave but Inevitable
task Is not Imposed to change from neu
trality to active participation in the con
flict." This resolution Is highly significant nt
this time, and aroused high interest in all
quarters today.
In Its preamble, tho resolution declares
that Italy 'h interests In the Adriatic iniist
bo safeguarded, and that Italy should co
operate to prevent tho war from being
settled In a manner thnt will determine
the predominance of military tendencies.
Accoidlng to the Glornalo d'ltalla, which
has been lukewarm toward tho allies,
there are three groups now playing the
main roleo in internal political affulis. Tho
first of tUese, represented by the Govern
ment and supported by u majority of thn
Constitutionalist party, is fnvornblo to
neutrality until the Interests of the coun
try aro In danger, but meanwhile favors
strengthening tho army.
Tho second group Is represented by
some Constitutionalists nnd soveral form-
i or Cabinet members, including former
Premier Luzzatl. and Socialists, who favor
neutrality to the end of the war, the pro
serving of economic energies, of tho coun
trv nnd tho maintenance by the Govern
ment of Its own system of foreign policy.
The third group consists of reformers,
moderate Socialists, members of the mil
itary clique, radicals, republicans and na
tionalists, who favor tlio abandonment of
neutrality in order to realize tho old as
pirations to redeom tha Italian provinces
on the Adriatic littoral still under foreign
rule.
The press Is divided, somn of tbi- pnpor.s
contending for thn Immediate abandon
ment of neutrality. Others oxpress tho
opinion that dissolution of tho present
Cabinet nnd the selection of n nationalist
ministry would throw the Government
Into discard.
In tho nieantlmo. Germany nnd Austria
have not altogether abandoned their ef
forts to have Italy live up to her obliga
tions under tho Triple Alliance. Moan,
while Groat Britain and France havo
made strong representations to the Italian
Government against her participation In
the strife Tho Government Is struggling
with might nnd main to keep at peace,
but sudden developments of an untoward
nature may throw her Into -war any day.
BORDEAUX, Sept. 13.
Prlnco Tasca do Cuto, nn Italian so
cialist deputy. Is quoted today by the'
Temps as follows:
Opinion In Italy l unanimous In do
mandlng tho realization of tho nntl
triple alliance program. Every rtno to
day believes that Italy must absolutely
separate her policy and destiny from the
triple alliance.
"The Italian army Is ready for all
c-ventualltles. Our fleet Is mobilized and
coaled, thanks to arrangements with
England. We aro now neutral only In
appearance. The action of Italy must
definitely turn tho scale In favor of the
triple entente."

The energetic advanco of tho Belgian
troops will, In all probability, allow them
to reoccupy Brussels In a day or so.
The evacuation of Brussels and nil of
the other towns and cities to the north

of a four-day battle, tho extent and re
sult of which was withheld by tho Bel
