London, Sept. ! 4.-Except for the
army which ha3 been attacking Ver
dun, tho German force? in France
have fallen back all ulong the line.ac
cording to the French oillcial report
issued this afternoon.
From Nancy to the Vosges they huve
withdrawn from French territory,
while on the extreme right General
von Kluck and General von Buelow
contine to retreat to the northwest he
fore the French, and British, even giv
ing up tboir defensive position on the
river Aisn? between Coraplegne and
Cl_
BuipiviWi
Further west tho German detach
ments that held Amiens huve moved
northeastward to try to rejoin the
German army of tho right at St. Quen
tin. It is possible all the Gormans in
?NiArthwest France have dono like
wise; otherwise they would be in dan
ger of being cut off in the center.
Another defensive position, behind
Rheims, has been given up nnd in the
Argonne region a general retreat is
taking place toward the forests of
Belnoue and Trlancourt.
The allies aro pushing their ad
vantage and doing, their utmost to
turn tue^ retreat .iain r. disaster hy a
Btem pursuit on perhaps the broadest
scale yet known in the war. On the
right/they are in good .position to con
tinuo the offendive, ot the men and
horres are not too tired for further
effort. They are based on a strong
line running from the Marne to the
fortresses through thc hill country
south of Argonne.
While the allied left, composed
largely of fresh troops with a heavy
force ot cavalry under General Pau,
ir. wheeling around ns to drive Gen
erals von Kluck and von Buelow to
wards Ardennes and Luxemberg, Gen
eral Pau's army, by a few more more
marches by La' Fere and Laen, might
cut communications between the re
treating Germans and Belgium.
The British, who yesterday took
nearly all the ^roBslngs on the river
Aisne and captured n2?n,-r nrliinnera. I
are north of that river and are push
ing the attack that would assist in
forcing the Germans to evacuate
Rheims. Tho center, somewhere be
tween Chalons and Rheims, is mak
ing an effort to recapture the latter
city, which would be one of the most
popular victories that could be an
nounced to Frenchmen.
Should these movements be crown
ed willi success and Laen and Rheims
again fall into the hands of the allies,
the Germans would have only one line
of communication with Germany-?]
through Retool- and even that might
bife cut.
General von Kluch; however, ls
looking for relnforcdmenw from Bel
gium if they have not already reached
him, and with tbese be might make
another stand against bis pursuers.
Th a British war dmce issued a long
statement today from Field Marshal
Slr J orin French, covering more com
n'n-iely than thc sreriauw summaries
the seven days fighting from Sepff a
ber 4 to, September 10, inclusive. Ac
cording to tills roport the German
swerve to the southeast of Paris ts
accounted for by General von Kluck's
decision that the British',' who had
been F.o heavily engaged in the re
treat from the Belgian frontier, Could
bs ignored and that he could proceed
with his plan of enveloping the main
French army.
. The Qtiw a?uty which Cullie .Out c.
Paris, however, upset this calculation
and, with his flank threatened, the
German general bad to withdraw-a
movement which has been continued
np to the present.
General French paid high tribute to
tho latest addition to the British army
-the flying corps, and ho Oslo quotes
a letter from the 'French commander,
General Joffre, who congratulated
bim on the accuracy of the informa
tion supplied by the aviators. These
men h av? done little or no bomb
throwing but have confined them
selves to gathering Information about
the enemy for the general staff.
This is the work that the "military
always have said would provo of tho
greatest service In connection with
the use of the aeroplane. In what
conflicts they har? bsd with German
aviators, the British flying men. ac
cording to General French, have "es
tablished individual ascendency" and
IEAT
D BY GUNS
HEP ARMIES
fie adda, "something in the direction
of the mastery of the air already' has
been established."
This is particularly gratifying to
Britons, as England waa one of the
last powers to go seriously into the
development of aviation, and the gov
ernment has been severely criticised
for not giving it more encourage-)
ment.
Tho Belgians, who have received
new big guns and reinforcements
from somewhere, by a sortie from
Antwerp have prevented the Germans
from sending more of their troops out
of Belgium to the south. It is report
ed that the Germans had another
army corps ready to dispatch to the
assistance of their right wing, nerti:
ofKParls, but quickly stopped its de
parture when the Belgians showed
Iheir strength and ability to cut com
munications between Brussels and
Louvain. Although the Belgians had
to retire to the protection of the Ant
werp forts when the Germans dhrcov
cTed them, they proved themselves
capable of at least annoying 'he army
of occupation.
All the news coming in today seems
to confirm the Russian reports that
tho russians have inflicted another
cruBhiug defeat on the Austrians who
on the right were supported by some
Germau divisions. By the capture of
Tomaszow, the Russians drove a
wofiao between tho . Austrian army,
.which had invaded Poland as far as f
Opole, KraBnostav and Zamosa, and
the army which they defeated at Lem
berg and which, although it lost heav
ily in killed, wounded, prisoners and
guns, managed to reform to some ex
tent and undertake thc offensive.
The Germans? who reinforced thc
Austrians, according to latest advices
mared in the defeat. They are trying
tn reach the fortress at Przeinyst, and
the rear guard is endeavoring to keep
off thc Russian cavalry whicli lei pur
suing them. '
Austria had. In Poland and Galicia
an'army estimated ut" 1.O0O.0?0 men
I with 2,r.oo guns. At Lemberg. Austria j
lost many thousands of men in killed,!
wounded and prisoners. It is now
stated, although not o facially, that the
total number of prisoners amounts to
180,000, and that 450 field guns were
taken, besides the guns in the captor-,
cd forts and an immenso amount of
war material.
It hv also reported tonight from
Rome that the Germans have Buffered
a defeat Mi a wa, on the East Prussian
frontier. This would be rather sur
prising, as the Russians1 only today
admitted they had been compelled to
withdraw in East Prussia before over
whelming forces of Germans ? who
threatened General Rennenkampff's
left wing.
It is possible the German comman
der, General von Hlndenberg, pushed
his advantage a little far and found
the Russians were stronger on thc
frontier, where Mlawa is :.'United,
thaa had been expected.
The Servians, after taking Semlin,
over which there was great rejoicing,
as it relieves Belgrade from a contin
uation of the bombardment, havere
sumcd the offensive against the Aus
trians, and, like tho Montenegrins,
are taking advantage- of Austria's
weakness on that frontier to push in
to her territory.

Anderson Man Bursts Into Song
and Tells of How "Dixie" Is
Finest Battle Song Going
CapL Bii?y Anderson, well known In
Anderson as a man of rare discern
ment hi things pertaining to art, has,
given to The Intelligencer a copy of a'
poem which has just fallen into his
hands. The effusion ls from Vie pen
of an Anderson writer and goes as
follows:
"We love to br?s; about our flag.
Aye! Forever may she wave, and
when I'm gone, may she live on and
on, the emblem of dbe brave. But
there Is cns other, esr ?fst?cn's flab's
brother, whose 'glory no nation can
hide, with just thirteen stars and tho,
two red bars, beneath which our fa
thers died. We All love to hear, Btar
Spangled Banner so dear, we greet it
wherever lt ls found but as the song
of the South yells burst from the
mouth, I am a rebel at Dixie's flrat
song. Wherever i roam, around the
world or at home, whatever music I
hear there's none that can thrill as old
Dixie will, lt kills every vintage of
fear and if I go to war. It don't matter
who for, let Dixie's strain rise to tbs
sky and lil give one loud yell and
fight right through hell and feel lt a
pleasure to die."

i Exchange
(By Associated Press,)
Chicago, Sept. li-Wheat prices to
day underwent almost aa violen, a
change as when.' not oulte seven
weeks UKO, the war bulge in quota
tions beajan. Excitement in the pres
ent case however, waa about th? pros
pect of a swift approach of peace,
traders generally taking the view
that the triumphs of the allies meant
it would be unlikely for hostilities to
be prolonged.
Selling out of wheat today was on
a huge scale from first to last, and
caused an extreme smash of 8 1-Zo a

swing of prices today brought wheat
aa low as $1.11 1-2 a bushel for May

most level of the war.

cotton and right away conditions
around town began to mend. The mer
chants felt better and were cheerier
than tbey had been for some time and
every ?ingle v.rmer hearing the glad
news straightway Recame elated. Very
little colton v'Rs marketed in Ander
son yesterday st that figure but never
theless the riBe, slight though it was,
helped business conditions in Ander
don.
Another great help yesterday was
the positive announcement mode bv
some of the principal cotton mill men
of this city to the effect that the cotton
rajlls of Anderson will not shut down
this year and all of them have agreed
to run until January at least und prob
ably on through the remainder or the
winter.
For some time a persistent rumor
has been going around to the effect
that .-'onie of the cotton mills ot this
and ether cities would be compelled
to suspend operations but Mr. Jas. D.
Hammett, when seen yesterday, said
that he had Just returned from New
York where he succeeded in closing
enough contracte to keep his mill run
ning for some time. Re said that his
contracts were on a very ahoft profit
basis but he would prefer to run for
the next year without making any mo
ney rather than to close down and
throw all the employes out of jobs.
Another well known manufacturer
said almost the same thing. He suc
ceeded in closing a contract on an op
en bid for work which will keep the
plant going for at least GO days and
he says that orders will be plentiful
by the expiration of that period.
'"Conditions in the South af o vastly
better than anyone knew and ther ls
really nothing wrong with the town
except the pessimism ot some of our
people" said a well known merchant
yesterday. Thisgd are ca the mead
now and indications are that after an
other month Anderson people will al
most forget that there was a war in
the foreign countries.

TIi?> big surprise promised by the
Palmetto theatre ?or Monday in the
advert?: enient o? this popular tliuoire
Sunday-was a most agreeable one, as
the Corbett Musical Comedy company
playing this week is by far the bost
attraction that has been nut on at
the Palmetto. The opening bill yes
tr rday entitled the new Bell Boy. was
? eil received by a .packed house and
ably presented by the Corbett com- i
pany. Every member of the company
acquitted his or herself in fine style.
Manager Pinkston is to bc commend
ed upon securing the high ciass at
traction that lie is showing this week.
Worthy of special mention is the
dancing of the four girls in a difficult
buck. As a team of dancers they are
certainly great, and then, the comed
ians were good. Taken as a whole it
is a show wor. h many times the price
of admission. The bill advertised for
today promises to be a -vinner. The
costumes in the opening act alone cost
the tidy little sum of $1,200 Twelve
hundred dollars, as most of the mar.
i u"i men in this town will admit, isl
quite expensive for only eight dresses.
The manager of the Palmetto in his
nd this morning states that a perfect
ly good five dollar bill will be given
away after each performance, as was
done yesterday. Tali in ilbtif is
quite an inducement. Twenty dollars
being given away each day is well
worth going after. Mr. Pinkston in
talking to a reporter for The Intelli
gencer yesterday stated that the show
this week will be clcun and moral in
every respect, nothing will be said
or done at any of the performances
that could be criticised or condemned
by anyone, and that any person not
well pleased with the show will gladly
get bia br her money refunded by
calling at the box office.
