FRENCH AGAIN HURL FORCES FORWARD IN FIERCE ASSAULT ON GERMAN LEFT WjNG
BATTLE ON RIGHT WING
INDECISIVE, BERLIN STATES
BERLIN, Sept. 30 (by way of Amster
dam). No decisive result on tho right wlnir,
r announced by tho War Oinco today.
It Is added tho French have resumed
the offensive along tho Mouse.
Two statements, both unusually
prlef, wero Issued early today. They
were:
An Indecisive battle has occurred
on the right wing of tho German
army In France. Slego gtinsi opened
Are Tuesday on tho Antwerp fort
resses. Tho French have renewed their
advances about Verdun. It Is nulet
along tho centre.
A brief statement Issued tit midnight
declared that the allied Trench tind
British troop.n continued their attacks
without success, and that whenever
any ground was lost by tho Germans
It Immediately was regained.
(This is tho first admission from
Uerlln that the Germans ever have lost
ground In the Rattle of the Alsne.i
The latest list of casualties Issued
rtorc Increases the number of German
troops killed, wounded and missing to
moto than 117,000. The great majority
aro named an missing. This total
rovers the fighting In both tho eastern
nnd western theatres of war. In the
latest list the 60th Infantry Regiment

rolment, IS officers, 16 non-commls-stoned
officers nnd CS2 men were listed
as killed, 1(5(5 officers and men as
wounded nnd 130 missing.
It Is stilted officially that Prince Os
car, who Is suffering from heart dis
ease, will bo tumble to return to tho
front. Ho has begged his father, I2tn
peror William, for permission to vio
late tlie physician's ciders, but the
Umperor has upheld their edict.
"t'rlnco Joachim, who was recently
wounded, will return to tho front early
In October," the statement adds. "The
other sons of tho 1-inperor nro well."
This refuted the report sent by Ung
llsh correspondents from Belgium that

LOXDHX, Sept. PA
That the armies of both General von
Bochn and General von Kluk have
been overwhelmed by the Allies in a
common disaster tind that they aro
fighting to escape destruction, is indi
cated by dispatches received here to
day. The army of General von Bochn
was sent to reinforce that of Von Kluk
when the pressure of the French and
British troops became too severe for
the latter to withstand alone.
Though the English censor permitted
the transmission of unofficial dispatches
stating that the Get man right wing
had met with disaster, the Government
Press Bureau refused to confirm them.
This statement was mado nt 10:45
a. m.:
The Press Bureau is ui.able to
confirm tho report that the German
right wing has been broken and is
being pushed back.
Efforts to get an explanation of the
word "unable," whether leaning that
no information had been received or
whether in accordance with the rule
that no report on lighting should be
issued until five days after It has taken
place, met with no success.
This dispatch was received by the
Express from Its correspondent at
Ghent:
"Persons arriving here from Brus
sels say that tho Germans are prepar
ing to movo the administrative head
quarters of the military government
from Brussels to Xamur. This la
taken to mean that the Germans are
getting ready for the next stand
nearer their own frontier."

of communications'. If the Germans
failed tn hold it. the annihilation of
the entire western part of their forces
undoubtedly would follow.
Jlost of the newspapers print the
Paris rumors thut the Get man tight
wing is In complete retreat, but de
clare It must be accepted "under re
serve," inasmuch ns there would bo
little likelihood of news of this mag
nitude being withheld.
Tho rumor that General von Kluk
had offered to surrender has been
widely circulated ever since tho bat
tle of the .Marne. In fact, one news
agency sent a repot t from its Ostend
correspondent that Von Kluk actually
had surrendered, a rumor that met
with prompt and oiriclal denial.
The latest repurt emphasizes that the
French have occupied Peronne. This
announcement, however, originally was
made on September 24. alien it was
stated the French had carried that city
by storm and it was then being used
as headquarters for tho operations
against St. Quentln.
Because of this fact, the suggestion
is mado that the lntest report of the
routing of the German right may be
based on the developments of the three
, days beginning Saturday, when tho
Germans' greatest effort was crushed
1 in fighting that for severity eclipsed
anything of the war to date.
It Is admitted that the German right
wing must soon retire or be Isolated
and captured, but up to noon today
the War Otrlce absolutely was without
information of any decided change In
the situation on the battle line north
of Paris.

The Russian advance in Galicia and Hungary has reached its furthest at (1), where the invaders have gone
through the passes in the plains of Hungary as part of the general advance through Galicia toward Cracow, which
is now centred at Tarnow; (2), on the Donajec River, after the troops have crossed the Wislok River and the Wis
Ioka, at Dcmbica. At (3), the German advance into Poland has been checked and their troops forced back to
Kalisz. The Russians arc also moving in great force from Warsaw toward Mlawa, where the German troops were
entrenched, even throwing aerial bombs over Biclestock (4), from which they were forced to retreat. At (5) the
Russians have cleaned out all the villages of the German troops and have practically freed Poland of their presence.

LONDON', Sept. 30
How a former schoolmaster, now In
the British army, trawled 600 yards
across a battlefield to brine aid for
wounded comrades, though he himself
had been struck by i sholl, is told in a
letter received by tho Rev. V. Johnson, of
".orlt. A comrade accompanied the
schoolmaster on Ills slow, painful jour
uey, and they vvero soven hours crawl
iiiR the 500 yards.
Tho writer, Fenian 1 Duchenc, was a
French master ut Archbishop Holsate's
school. Telling of his experiences, lie
said:,
"On tho mornlne of September 6 the
General Issued orders that we were to
stand our itround at nil costs. We did
It, but at what costs? We Icro itnliif
to cliargo a village when a shell fell
behind me, burst and hit mo In several
places three times on tho head, twice
on tho right ieg, at the uukle nnd thigh,
and once on the left leg at tho ankle.
I vvai left on tho battlefield and crawled
to a hut, and there I found nine others.
"We were exposed to a terrible tiro
from the artillery, and expected the hut
to be blown to pieces at any time. To
ward the end of the second day we de
cided that two of us should volunteer
to fetch some help; so I did, and an
other followed.

How we escaped I don't know. We just
managed to turn the corner and were
safe, but It took us seven hours to

IvONDON, Sept. 30. The cliargo that
Germany has sent hundreds of spies Into

War omco and Foreign Office wai mado
today by tho Times In an nrtlclo by Its

erences of First Iord of the Admiralty
Winston Churchill to "Gennan lieuten

vantage of Ilrltlsh hospitality to spread
their nets of espionage,"
According to Colonel Iccplngton, Kng

than ever before, and tho German Gov

In part Colonel Iccplngton says:
"The most dangerous of these spies
aro not the lieutenants, but highly placed
persons who move In good society and
also In the realms of finance. The Ger
man system extends to all clnsscs.
Twenty jcars ago Rome of our olllcers
came Into touch with the German in

deal about It. Even at that time the net
was large and was so wldespicad that It
extended oven to America, where agents

"Despite Its fervid nctlvlty, 1 have not
a very high opinion of tho Gennan In

OPERA SINGER SAYS
GERMANS TORTURED
BOYS UNDER ORDERS
Scotti Asserts Lads' Wrists
Were Broken by Officer's
Command, for Aiding Bel
gians Italy Ripe for War.
NEW YORK, sept. 30.-Antonlo Scotti.
tho well-known barltono of tho Metrol
polltnn Opera Company, Is the latest wit
ncss to the truth of'the reports of atroc
Itles commuted by tho Gorman army In
llelGlum. Mr. Ucolll, who arrived In
New York last week-on tho I.usltnnla,
told n reporter yesterday that ho had
seen Ilelglnn hoys whose vrlst3 had been
broken by German soldiers, tho boys'
ro'.o oltenso having been that they had
taken water and provisions to Belgian
soldiers.
Mr. Scotlt further stated that publla
opinion In Italy was rapidly forcing that
country Into war against Austria and
Germany, and asserted that the rcslgna
tlon of tho Minister of Foreign Affairs,
the Marchcse dl San Oulllano, would at
once precipitate the crisis.
"I saw in London a number of Belgian
boys with both wrlst3 broken," said Mr.
Scotti. "It was horrible, especially whcii
the sole offense of tho poor children had
been that they had carried water and
provisions to tho soldiers who were
fighting to defend their country. There
can be no doubt as to tho cruelties of
the Germans. One's eyes do not de
ceive.
"These cruelties, hnwovcr, seem to be
due to tho oideis of tho olllcers rathir
than to tho brutality of tho Individual
eoldlcr. The German officer is above all
eidlrnry law, and much sympathy as wo
have for tho German people should not
blind our eves to the necessity of putting
an end to tho Prussian militaristic caste.
"In Italy tho peoplo are fully alive to
the German pcill, and their demand for
war is becoming louder each day.
"If tho Marchcse dl San Glullano, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, resigns It
means Italy's Immediate entrance Into'tfie
itiuggle.
"The Marcheso signed the Triple Al
liance filter the death of Crlspl, and
nnttirallv does not wish to break with
his former friends, but the temper of
the Itnlli.ii people Is unmistakable."
Mr. Scotti said that if war broke out
Enrico "aruso would not be forced to
light, as no one would have to serve
who was more than 40 years old. He
added that P'gnor Gattl-Casazza had en
gaged a rpcclal steamer which would sail
from Genoa on October 15, carrying nil
the membeis of tho Metropolitan Opera
Company who had not sailed for America,
"I s-nw povcial thousand German pris
oners In England," said tho baritone,
"and they nil seemed most happy to ba
captured The English were treating
them splendidly and tl ey had no desire
to letuiu to the army during the war."
