8 BATTLE OF MARNE VICTORY FOR ALLIES (Continued from Page One.) when the entire German army would be obliged to retreat on Luxemburg, an operation which they liken to the passing of a large stream through a narrow bottle neck. The German version of the battle of Marne is yet to be heard. The" German ofllcial wireless tonight is silent regarding the operations of tne in ii ^i<?11<i u?er me progress or events on the Frenrh battlefields, there are no signs of rejoicing or celebration. London today wore it usual Sunday oalin. Newspapers continue to counsel the people against ov> r-optiniism and any belief that the war will be other than a long and costly one The He-man general. Von Iluelow, is giving the German people the same < union. He tells them they ar<- onlv at the beginning of sa< rili< and sufferings. The Yield of One \cre. That it pays much bett? r to raise read stuffs than cotton is forcibly illustrated in the actual experience the past year of Mr. 11 ('. Hunter of the Antioeh section.

In the battles proceeding in Ual(?< > I IJ ...... I I .... pears to cling to the Russians. They are reported to have won a derisive victory at Krasnik and Tomaszow Thursday. The Austrian and Herman armies are estimated at forty divisions of infantry and eleven 01" cavalry, totalling more than a million men, and reinforced by several German divisions. The Russians describe their line as extending over several hundred versts. (A verst is about two-thirds of a mile.) Fighting has been proceeding since August 27 and the Russians claim to be winning both in Poland and Galicia. The battle of Rawa Ruska, which is proceedings, apparently will prove the crucial test of the Austrian army. Archduke Frederick of Austria, is with the army there. A message from sources unfriendly to Austria declare the result of the Galicia operations will determine whether the Austrian army will continue to be a factor in the war. While there is deep satisfaetb n f.. I.*.. ? ? * past week in that theatre. it records a local success by the army of the Crown Prince, which it reports, too. a fortified position southwest of Verdun, and the beginning of an attack on the forts of the south of Verdun with heavy artillery. No date is given and the operations may have occurred at an early stag.- of the battle. C Klt.MANS RKTIKINC,. The position of the troops, as stilted in the French reports, is that the German right army is retreating beyond the River Vesle, which runs between Rlieims and Soissons; that the German forces in the centre, which had penetrated farthest south, are falling back north of Vitry-leFrancois and Seiinaize and have crossed the River Marne. and in the hilly wooded country between Vitry and Verdun the Germans have lost Revigny and Brabant-le-Rol. The French appear to have taken the offensive along almost the entire front, as indicated by successes In the east between Luneville and St. Die. where they have retaken several towns they evacuated a fortnight ago. Reports from Basel say hard fighting occurred yesterday in the Gubweiller valley, in Southern GERMANS ABANDON THEIR ARTILLERY Munitions of War Being I<eft Ueliiiul?Teutons Kctreat Through Marshes. Paris. Sept. 14.?6:11 p. m.?Pursuit of the retreating German armies by the British and French forces con tinned today with vigor, according to the French view. ltespite their great numbers the German withdrawing movement is be ing carried out with rapidity and cleverness. The main body appears t(\be approaching the Belgan frontier while the German left wing seemingly ?is gaining shelter in German Lorraine. So far as known the fleeing in vaders who, after wonderful forced marches Into France, made such :i steam attempt to break through the linw of the Allies defending Paris, have abandoned more than 60 cannons oT various caliber and 30 machine guns because their exhausted horses were unable to drag them fast enough to keep up even with the foot weary infantry. Fnoromous amounts of ammunition and war stores also were left on the route of the Germmans which is through a diifflcult marshy country, rendered almost im passable in some places by heavy rains which threaten to continue. The Allies, it is asserted, display no signs of fatigue .They are repro- I sented as stirred by unexpectedly great victories to such a state of elation that they are able to keep close on the heels of the retiring enemy, harassing them day and night, cutting off detachments and attempting to interpose between them and the frontier. It generally is believed here that ho next phase of the gigantic war will take place in German territory. The Allies, according to the military experts, doubtless will endeavor to prevent the German armies, should they succeed in eluding capture ?rom taking strong defensive positions near the front'or. Large bodies of fresh troops are understood to have been sent forward to assist in the pursuit and many more are ready to share the chase,t it is said So: ic portionr -?f the Allied armies, who through the hoi sunny days interspersed with deluges of rain bore the brunt of the lighting, are taking a brief rest in preparation for future movements which may call for equally great efforts. LANCASTER CITIZEN WRITES NEW HYMN Designed to Avoid Objection Raised to "My Country, "Tis of Tlice." James H. Thayer, Th. P., of Pancaster has written a hymn, to the tune of "Oreeland's Icy Mountains." having been moved to the task by criticisms heard and read of "My < Country. 'Tis of Thee." "I do not agree," says Mr. Thayer, "with the critics of our national hymn because I think sentiment Is more than form. However, this hymn of mine I have striven to make nation-wide in character, as well as sentiment." The hyman is entitled "A Mighty Ration Calleth." It consists of four Ktan/as and i as follows: 'Where break- the northern ocean Upon New England's shore; Wliere sun-kissed southen waters. Send hack their answering roar; Prom waving western prairies, To palm and orange grove, A mighty nation calleth, Our love, our hearts, to prove. 'Prom far the alien flocking Our ports and cities throng; Amid our golden harvests f Is heard their shout and song; And where tie- southern breezes O'er corn and cotton blow; Two races dwell contented. And live and thrive and grow. 'O'er hill and i>l:iin and river li The solemn elnireh bells peal: . From school house and from playt! ground. The children's voices steal. . From ocean unto ocean, Fpon the restless tide, The Stars and Stripes are waving. ) Our hope, our joy. our pride. j ) "God bless our mighty nation; United may we be; t The Lord of hosts our captain, His word our guide to be. ) From ocean unto ocean , From palm to waving pine, * ft Thy name shall e'er be honored, H! Great God, and onlj thine.*' Of The above hymn and comment, ap1 pearing in The State of Sunday last, | t will be read with interest by Dr. r:Thayer's friends and admirers. We fl1 recognized him as a preacher of . force and power and knew he was n f- man of unusual nlents, but that Dr. a Thayer la a pool we did not know until we rend the above. The poem Ms very beautiful, both In form and sentiment and, is deserving of wide v ji'iMicity Dr. Thayer is to be oon. gratulnted upon his patriotic and . -tirring hymn. t Itegulur Dunking t hannels Open. ) Washington, Sept. t),.?
