"- " --- -..... V. V.,1 ..'" Jill (Q well as that of Vou Kluk, ha been PARIS, Sept. 30. Today's official report of the general ; operations, In every way was favorable)' to the Allies, emphasized the fact that tho general turning movement of th Allies north of tho Somme now was progressing rapidly. It further pointed out for the first time that tho ground lost along tho Mcuso at St. Mihlel, where tho Germans sucfeded in crossing to tho west bank 'of tho rher, had been regained. The French armies are now operating east of tho Meu3e. The announcement that the general turning movement of the Allies north of the Somme progresses rapidly Is taken here to mean that the with drawal of the German right wing al- I ready Is In progress. It had been recognized for several days that when the German line gave way at this point it would mean the retirement of the entire German army to the new positions already prepared In Belgium and between th Srlcshit and tho Meuse Rivers. That this movement is already in progress Is believed certain here. It Is not assumed that there will ba any rout of tlie Germans. The aerial scouts have already reported that theso . new positions have been prepared, ex-' aotly as those now held by the Germans1 were, and It Is expected that the Ger mans will fall back In good order fighting as they go. Every effort, how ever, is being made by the French forces to penetrate the line between tho armies of General von Boehn and Gen eral von Kluk. This movement Is now in progress. If it succeeds It will mean that a part at least of Von Kluk's army and probably part of Von Buelow's can be cut off. Military experts pointed out that tho significance of tho operations along the. Mcuse can hardly he overestimated. It was at this point that the Bavarian army delivered Its most telling blows !n the npparent hope that they could di vert attention from the German right, force the withdrawal of part of tho allied forco on the left to aid the Imper iled centre and thus enable Von Kluk; to strike a decisive blow. That has defi nitely failed and now the German cen tre is in grave danger In its turn. Tho experts united nlso In declaring that the end of tho battle of the Alane Is in sight, and that like tho battle of the Marne, It will prove a decisive vic tory for the Allies. They declare It Is likely to hasten the end of the war, as two successive defeats of this magni tude can he expected to encourage tho antl-war party In Germany, already largo becnuEc of the terrible losses. The most violent German assault to day was on Tracy-le-Mont. at thu tiortheast of the forest of VAlgle. Hero the attack was reputed with heavy logs. Thii forest ii In the nrornentory formed by tho Rivers Alsne and Otso and extends almost to royon. on tho west bank of the Oise This prom- f entory was considered the keystono of General von Kluk's defense.
