London. Sept. 4. 11.55 P. M.—What
has been described as the arrowhead
of the (ierman army, which has been
slowly forcing its way through the
Anglo-French armies toward Paris,
has made further progress, according
to the German official report issued to
day. and has now driven the allies
back behind Conde.
La Fere has been captured without
resistance, aaya the German statement.
and wfth the exception of (name
leletedi, which is now being attacked.
=ind Mauheuge. which the Germans
have masked, the outpost forts are
now in the hands of the invaders,
'avalrj raids, top, are being made in
the direction of Paris fortifications,
which will, if the German accounts
are correct, be the next stop of the
allied armies.
This news was a great disappoint
ment here, where earlier official re
ports from Paris to the effect that the
•ierman had suffered a check near
Verdun led to the hope that the ad
vance had at last been stopped.
.In Lorraine and the Vosges region,
where the German forces were weak
ened to strengthen their right tlank.
the French appear to be holding their
own. if not making an advance.
The allies lake some consolation
from the fa.-i that the Russian defeat
of the Austrians around Lemberg,
whih town has fallen-into the hand's
of the Russian emperor's army, with
its immense stock of war material
and provisions, is apparently complete.
Twelve Thousand Have Fallen
In a battle lasting almost a fort
night the Austrians have suffered ter
rible losses. 12,000 having fallen In
one place alone, while the Russian
general claims to have taken thou
sands of prisoners and 200 guns. The
Austrian retreat, it appears from offi
cial advices, has been turned Into a
rout.
Belgium, which saw so nianv battles
during the >arlr stages of the war. is

The outer ring of forts about Paris is seventy-five miles in circumference, commanding the heights of the valley of the £etne The inner ring of
seven detached forts is thirty-four miles in oircumsference.
Should the airman armv reach Paris It might stretch Its investing lines about the city in a cireumferertre Of 100 miles. All the *mall towns
lying between the German and French lines would be likely to suffer from artillery fire.
Paris itself could not be bombard while the ring of forts about it held out. the forts, which are from three to ten miles from the limits of the
citv. would prevent siege guns from being placed within range of the buildings or the city. f the French arinv, or a part of it should be thrown
bark upon the defenses of Paris, the fighting would take place in a zone of several hundred square miles about the city. In which manv important
suburbs are located. ■
Some <>f the important places which lie outside of Paris are Vlncennes, Montreuil, Romntnvllle. Aubervilllers St Onen Clichv Asnieres N'interre
St. Jicnis, Varseilles, St. <'loud Sevres Scoaux, Chols.v and Charenton Th» population living in what might become the firing zone is more than 500 000"
The outer circle of the city s triple line of defensos. which are situated among the hills, are the most modern of the forts Thev are built of steel
and masonry and known to he equipped with the heaviest guns of the famous French artillery, although details as to their armament have been closelv
guarded.
Something of the magnitude of the defenses of Paris is shown by estimates that only an army of half a million men could hope to invest them and
cut them off from the outside world. 1 " wl »"«*■" "« u
The two outer lines arc so placed that each fort has a cross-fire over the territory swept directly by the guns of adjoining forts. The result is to
make attackers face fire from both flanks as well as the front in advancing on any position.

MOTHER SENDS TWO
DAUGHTERS TO PRISON
WHO FORGE HER NAME
A dinner at a fashionable Harris
burg hotel followed by a little trip to
Columbia was th<* reason two Steelton
women landed in the Dauphin county
jail under charges of forg«ry. Th«
women are sisters, Mrs. William KJynn
and Mrs. Fred Soulliard, both of 351
Heading street, Steelton.
The charges of forgery were lodged
against the women by Martin Snyder,
proprietor of the" Farmers' Hotel, Mid
dletown. According to the testimony
at the hearing before Squire George
AN". Rodfong, the women, it is alleged,
forged a note nn the Farmers' Bank
of Mtddletown for $76. This money,
it was testified, was used to defray
the expenses of a dinner at a Harrls
burg hotel and a trip to Columbia, for
the women and their husbands.
The name forged to the note is
that of the mother of the two women,
Mrs Rosalie Bishel, of 2122 Green
street, Harrisburg. Mrs Bishel told
the squire that she had shown htf
daughters leniency on seyeral former
escapades, but that this time she
wanted them to get the full course of
the law. She refused to honor the
note. An effort was made to impli
cate the women's husbands In the
crime, hut the wives steadfastly re
fused to give any evidence that would
involve them. In default of bail the
women weer taken to jail by Consta
bles Stipe and Kngle. < >ne of the
women was accompanied to jail by a
small child.

Paris Must Soon Rely
on Its Own Defenses;
Austrian Loss Heavy
Germans Have Reached Points East and West of French
Capital; Kaiser's Troops Have Not Succeeded In
Circling Allies' Left Wing, Forpied by French Forces;
Germans Are Slowly Gaining Ground on Defenders,
According to Latest Dispatches
Conflicting news dispatches and vague official statements leavt
the fortunes of the immense armies struggling before Paris to-day
a matter of conjecture.
All accounts agree, however, that the moment is approaching
swiftly when the French capital must have resort to its own de
fenses. Despite occasional temporary success of the allies, their
line appears to he slowly giving ground before the German advance.
The Germans in a semi-circle seem to have reached points east and
west of Paris, their left wing touching in the department of Seine
et-Marne.
The exact position of the German right wing is not revealed but
so far as know it has not succeeded in getting around the allies' left
formed bv British troops.
A Rome dispatch says that five German army corps have
arrived at the Vistula river to support the defense against the Rus
sian invaders of East Prussia. The Russian general staff claims
that its victorious army in Galacia is sweeping the Austrians
before it.
Further fighting is reported at Termonde, 16 miles cast of
Ghent, suggesting; that the Belgian forces from Antwerp have again
entered the fray.
There is no additional news regarding the Russian troops as
jhaviffg been landed at Ostend from British transports.
The Servians claim that the Austrians left 30,000 dead after the
battle of Jadar and that the Servians captured 4000 prisoners.
An official statement issued at Paris this afternoon says that
the Germans continue to leave Paris on their right and to march in
a southeasterlv direction.

Will Ask For Peace
By Associated Press
Paris, Sept. 5, 4:20 a. m.—A Rome
dispatch to the Havas Agency quotes
the Bologna "La Trlbuna" as saying
that Benedict XV., the new pope, in a
letter on August 30 wrote as follows,
regarding the war:
"J would regret that any cure
should show preference for one or
the other of the belligerent nations.
My idea is to have it understood that
they should ask God for a cessation of
the scourge of war without indicating
the means."
