OUTCOME 111 WEST
DEPENDS ON MOVES
OF ARMY IT VERDUN
Germans Say Investment Is Com
plete and That Offensive
Will Soon Begin
By Associated prrss
London, Sept. 15, 10.15 A. M.—For
once the military critics on both sides
agree that the outcome of the cam
paign in ihe western war area de
pends on the result of the operation of
the Crown Prince's army before Ver
dun, but on the question of accom
plished facts the divergence of opin
ion is as wide as ever.
Berlin maintains that the investment
of Verdun is now complete and there
fore expects that within two or three
days there will be a resumption of
the offensive along the whole German
front. On the other hand the latest
ollicial communication issued in be
half of the allies states that the Crown
Prince has been driven back and has
moved his headquarters from Sainte
Menehould. south of Rheims, to Mont
Faucon, about 15 miles northeast.
Berlin admits that the weakened
| right wing has been turned back, hut
discounts the reverse by maintaining
that it will have no effect on the gen
eral forward movement to be initiated
when Verdun falls.
The very candid statement of Gen
eral Joffre regarding the sort of war
fare his troops are capable of waging
indicates that the French are now in
a position to take up the gage of bat
tle on their own terms and in a coun
try of their own choosing. General
.Toffre is now a national hero, after
conducting the great retreat, that
caused him to be called many hard
names.
Stubborn Struggle
As far as the moral effect goes, the
recapture of Rheims probably means

Germany's Armies in North and East of Paris
Are Making Determined Stand Along
River Aisne; French Attempts to Break
Through German Lines Have Been Re
pulsed; 300,000 Austrians, or One-third
of Entire Force Reported to Have Been
Lost During Fighting in Galicia. German
Cruiser Sunk by British.
London, Sept. 15, 2 P. M.—The correspondent of the Central
News at Dieppe under date of Monday, September 14, transmits a
report that the German army under General Von Kluck has been
forced to surrender.
The correspondent says:
"The report has reached Dieppe that the extreme left of the
allies after making an encircling movement by way of Roye and
Ham and joining a force from the Boulogne district, has compelled
General Von Kluck to surrender with according to one statement,
14,000 men and according to another statement, with 25,000 men
and a quantity of guns and war material."
General Von Kluck has been operating in the German right
wing and has consequently been opposed to the left wing of the allies
His army has been retiring before the allies for several days.
Roye and Ham are to the southeast of Amiens, and were occu
pied by the Germans two days ago. Recent reports show that these
towns are now in the possession of the allies.
Germany's armies to tlic north and the cast of Paris after re
treating for upwards of fifty miles toward the Belgian frontier, are
to-day making a determined stand along the river Aisne.
A news agency dispatch from Dieppe says that General Von
Kluck has been enveloped by a French circling movement and forced
to surrender with a large command and a quantity of guns and am
munition.
The German general staff, however, announced to-day that
heavy engagements were being fought by General Von Kluck's
forces to the northeast of Paris without a decisive result so far.
The French attempts to break through the German lines were
said to have been repulsed.
Reports regarding the operations in East Prussia' contradict
each other. From Petrograd it is said that General Rennenkampf
has resumed the offensive and that the investment of Koenigsberg
still is in progress. Berlin advices, however, arc to the effect that the
Russian general has suffered defeat nearly as severe as that of the
Russian disaster at Allenstein.
Further Petrograd dispatch estimate the casualties of the Aus
trians in Galicia to total 300,000, nearly one third of their forces.
The sinking of the German protected cruised ITela of 2,040 tons
by a submarine of the allied fleet, is announced in an official state
ment issued at Berlin. A major part of the crew was saved.
The German submarine which sank the British cruiser Path
finder with a loss of 246 lives is reported to have been destroyed
by the fire of several British cruisers.
Sharp skirmishes have taken place in the Shan-Tung peninsula
of China between the German defenders of the Kiao-Chow con
cesssion and a Japanese landing force.
A measftrc was introduced in the British Parliament to-dav
suspending until after the war the proceedings on the Irish Home
Rule and the Welsh disestablishment bills.
Oueen Wilhelmina opening Parliament in person, emphasized
the necessity of the Netherlands maintaining the strictest neu
trality in the war.

Berlin, via Copenhaven. via Lon

gian army which is quite surrounded
according to statements here, has

a part in the war. (The censor has

the comment of a military writer in
the German capital on the situation
in the western theater of war and the
retirement, of General Von Buelow.
"It Is necessary to remind the pub
lic,"'says the writer, "that the road to
the goal is still long and that we are
merely at tho beginning of making
sacrifices and undergoing suffering.
There Is danger that this fact Is not
kept before the eye constantly enough,
because our victories in 1870 came
easy. Ilow much of u danger this
Is can be seen by the recent complaint
that so l'ar no whole army of the!
enemy has been forced to surrender."!
