GERMAN'S RIGHT RETREATS,
IS LONDON ANNOUNCEMENT
LONDON, Sept. 21.
The Germnn rlht Ib retiring.
Whether It 1b dropping back to oRCapo
being enveloped by tho Franro-Urltlah
troops or Is moving ti effort n Juncture-
with the 100,000 reinforcements
said to have been Hcnt to General von
Kink's aid from Maubeuge Is still un
certain, although military observers
aro Inclined to believe- the movement
Is a real retreat before superior num
bers. The steady ndvanco of the Brltlt.li
and French has exposed General von
Kink's right, find he has swung his
army still further around to the cast
of No on. A dispatch to a news
agency here yesterday from Solssons
declared that ho and his army hud
been surrounded, but this Is supposed
to have been merely a repetition of
the reports earlier In the week, which
were based on tho success of tho Al
lies In encircling his right.
A general retirement by tho Germans
from tho positions they have held for
tho last eight and one-half days is be
lieved here from the furious renewal of
fighting In tho last three days. This
concerted offensive movement, of which
tho bombardment of Ilhclms is a part.
In three distinct points, Is believed to
be merely to cover a retreat which may
extend to the German border and oven
to tho lino of defensive works along
tho Ilhlnc.
A military onieer, who has Jut re
turned to London from tho front,
stntes that British aviators report a
large number of transport wagons, ap
parently motor vehlclos, carrying mu
nitions of war, and cannon have been
moving from the German rear townrd
their frontier.
Added weight Is given the theory by
the dispatches from Rome yesterday
to the effect that orders have been Is
sued by the Berlin War Ofllco for an
abandonment of French territory, with
1100,000 troops to cover the retirement
by a vigorous defense of the present
Intrenched lines.
The Germans aro handicapped by the
fact that they must protect I.aon and
Ternlger at all costs, as those are the
only railroad centres connecting their
forces at the front with Lorraine and
with southern Belgium. The Impor
tance of lthelms from a strategical
point of view lies In the fact that It
controls eight Important railroad lines.
Latest accounts say that the Allies'
lines are intact, but that nil advances
are retarded by the rains, which have
filled trenches and made roads so heavy
that only light artillery can bo trans
ported except with tho greatest difll
culty. Along tho Allies' centre and right
both sides have won temporary suc
cesses, but thew! have always been coun
ter balanced by small defeats

JEWISH SOLDIERS HOLDING NEW YEAR'S SERVICES ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Nearly half a million Jewish soldiers, the largest number under arms since the children of Israel ceased to be a
nation, laid aside their weapons of war today to observe Rosh Hashana, or the New Year's Day. The above
picture shows Day of Atonement services held by the Jewish soldiers in the German army during the Franco
Prussian War, and presents a scene that is being enacted in the rival armies of Europe today.
ITALY'S CABINET DISCUSSES
WAR CRISIS ALL NIGHT
No Statement in Keply to Austria's
Denial of Hostile Attitude.
HOME, Sept. 21.
An all-night session of the Italian Cabi
net was held following receipt of on
orriclal denial from Vienna that Austila
Is making war preparations upon tho
Italian frontier.
At the conclusion of the meeting this
morning no statement wns Issued, hut It
generally Is believed that Italy's future
attitude had been under discussion.
Despite the denial of the Austrian Gov
ernment the tentlon Is getting higher, and
the government has placed guards at tho
disposal of both the German and Austrian
nmhassles.
A procession, preceded hy bands playing
patriotic airs, marched to the Torta Pla
on Sunday to celebrate' the anniversary
of the cntrv of the Italians into Rome.
The marchers cheered wildly whlla pass-'
Ing the British Hmhassy, where the
Union Jack was flying.
A demonstration against neutrality was
to have been held In Naples, but was
called off owing to the objections of the
authorities.
Negotiations, the nature of which Is
unknown, are pending between Italy nml
Rumania. It is possible that a new
Balkan alliance may bo fnimcd to In- j
elude Italy instead of Greece.
The Rumanian rjovernment has placed
an order foi 10000,000 cartridges -with
Italian factories.

Almost u half million soldiers engaged
in tho glgnntlc European military strug

today to obscivu Rosli Hashana, or the
New Ycnr's Day, the first of tho great
autumn holidays.
Tho picture of the Day of Atonement
services In the Franco-Piusslan War has
been so widely circuated that it is famil
iar to every Jew. It shows the Jewish
soldiers gathcied mound a huge altar,
sajing thu piayers prescribed for the oc

their unlfoims tho tallth, a shawl used
In the synagogue by nil oithodox Jews.
In the background are shown cannon,
sending forth their inlnslles of destruc
tion Into tho ranks of the enemy. Over
the picture Is the inscription, in German:
"Havo we not all one Father? Wcro vo
not all created bj the same God?"
Today, umld the ronr and the rumble
of cannon, perhaps while shot and shell

Impossible to hold one big iegiotis cer

It Is expected, lii view of the concilia
tory attitude taken by the Russian Gov
ernment toward the Jews since the out
break of the war, tliut pei mission will be
granted these men to ret for a btiof
spell fiom tho bloody buslnms of war to
worship God according to the dictates of
their tellglon. Tho Russian mlluaiy au
thorities appear iippn ciative of tho lonl

111 the history of Russia, Jews havo been
granted (omiulsslons as olllceis. Fol

This was the first orricial admission that

LONDON, Sept. 21.
Roar Admiral Krnest C. Troubrldge.
commander of the Mediterranean cruiser
squadron, has been relieved from duty and
summoned homo to explain the escape
of the German cruisers Goeben and
Brcslau.
Tho success of tho German ships In
evading the British fleet and escaping
to tho Dardanelles has been one of tho
naval mysteries of tho war. In ollleial
circles it Is believed that If they had
been captuied or sunk tho possibility
of Turkey's joining tho war would have
been wholly averted.
Rear Admiral Troubrldge was appointed
chief of the admiralty's war staff In 1311,
and a year later held chief command In
the Mediterranean.
Though the ollleial statement issued last
night told of a number of British naval
r-uccciscB, the mlmlsslnn that German
cruisers are harassing British shipping,
rapturing and sinking a number of ves
sels, Mas served to cause some apprehension.

All the food, wine, sllverwnio and cloth

of tinti'iuo clocks was carried off as well
as a number of canaries. What tho

Although tho Germnns have done much
damage In manv places, they have acted
with the greatest consldeiatlon elsewhere.
Describing the occupation of Kpernay, the
centre of the champagne-making district,
one correspondent says:
"The Germans have" orders not to loot
the cham'iagne country. It was Intended,
they said, to annex It to Germans' The
General Staff requisitioned 200. bottles of
wine and paid for it In notes redeemable
after tho wur. They exacted various
