President Poincare ^ Moved to Bordeaiu Paris?Turkey is M< Germany?French i nstant Watch Over Known How- the the Field. So far as the public Is concerned little actually is known as to how the armies in the field are faring. Most of the information made public from official quarters is of a negative char acter as for instance, the announce ment of the French war office that there has been no contact with the German forces in the region of Com piegne and Senelis for three days, and that the situation in the Northeast has not changed. The two towns are respectively 45 miles and 32 miles northeast of the French Capital and they appear' to mark the points nearest Paris to which the Gerrman advance guards have ap proached. As lines around Paris tighten and the German forces draw closer to the F-ench Capital, the official statements regarding the progress of the war grow briefer and are more and more lacking in details. With the removal of the Govern ment to Bordeaux all efforts around Paris have been directed to prepara tions for the threatened Investment of the Capital by the Germans. In ad dition the French authorities have ordered aeroplane patrols to guard against any further raids by German aviators. A number of French aero planes are continually flying in the Some of Belgium's brave soldiers away. neighborhood, of Paris and others kept In readiness to attack any of the German airmen who appear in the sky.

The Austrian force of 200,000 men held a favorable position. By its retreat it admitted defeat. The Austrians left on the field of battle 10,000 dead and more than 2,000 wounded according to the report "Altogether," continues the state ment. "40,000 of the enemy were placed hors de combat. We have sent to the interior more than 4,000 men. whom we took prisoners, and have ranturpd nnlitieal euns. much ammu nition, the material for the construc tion of a 600-meter bridge and a train. The battle was of great importance because it was decisive. The enemy retreated to Santzek.-" Wanted More Bombs. Paris.?Paris was disappointed be cause no German aeroplane flew over the city. Crowds gathered in various places from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 7 to watch for the aeroplane but none came. Several French machines patrolled the sky, ready to engage the enemy. Many persons have been astonished that the French aviators have not given-chase to hostile ma chines flying over the city. It is ex plained, however, that'only a plunging fire is effective against aeroplanes, and that is dangerous over a city. Praise Patriotism.

The movements of | the troops are meagerly reported and it has been Impossible through these reports to form any adequate idea of how the tide of battle is flowing. Direct advices from the Russian i capital give the official report of a | battle lasting seven da^ s between the : Russians and Austrians around Lem berg, capital of Gaiicia, in wljich the Russians were successful, forcing the Austrians to retreat and seizing heav j ily fortified positions. The Russians | captured 150 guns and the Austrians ! are said to have suffered enormous I losses. In this battle three full Aus trian army corps and parts of two others were engaged .

The United States cruiser Tennes see is to be utilized for the transporta tion of Americans from Havre to England. GEN. JOFFRE WANTS TO FIGHT IN ENTRENCHED FORTS. Paris again showed its remarkable adaptability to circumstances. Though allusions to such a contingency had been strictly forbidden in the news papers, that the Government would be transferred to Bordeaux was an open secret several days ago among journalists and public officials and in military circles. Among these perrsons the effect of the announcement had been largely discounted. The public, after its first surprise is viewing the situation with composure and there seems" to be a better feeling all around. Military secrets are being so well guarded that all reference to them is largely speculation; but it is a reason able supposition that General Joffre prefers to accept a decisive battle against the Germans in front of the ports and the entrenchmed camp of Paris.

Berlin is Guarded. London.?A dispatch to The Central News from Amsterdam declares that telegrams received from Berlin set forth that the German capital is be ing guarded by several army corps. Slaughtered Germans. London.?One of the 300 British wounded who arrived at Southampton was a gunner who was stricken blind while serving his gun. He said the Germans came up in closely packed lines and that the British guns simply slaughtered them. RUSSIANS MAKE IMPORTANT AD VANCE BUT GERMANS CLAIM THEY LOST HEAVILY. Official advices received through diplomatic channels reported two of j the most important developments of | the pr&sent war. The German em i bassy gave out a message from Ber lin, received from wireless, claiming that German forces near Allenstein had captured 70,000 Russian prison ers, inqluding two commanding gen erals, 300 officers and the entire equip ment of Russian artillery. Great Britain asked the United States to be prepared to care for BjJtish diplomatic interests in Tur l&y, indicating that the allies had lost lrope of persuading the Ottoman em />ire to remain neutral. Dispatches f.received at the British embassy re ferred to the incorporation in the Turkish army of several German offi cers, which was regarded as the fore runner of Turkey's intervention in ueisan ui vjci iiicutij Diplomats here believe that Tur key's entry Into the conflict would mean the immediate alignment of Italy, as well as Greece, on the side of Great Britain, France, Russia, Servia and Montenegro. Just what the attitude of Bulgaria will be is a matter of uncertainty, though the Turkish ambassador here gave out a statement today speaking of the com munity of interests of Bulgaria and Turkey. The Turkish situation was watched with deepest concern by diplomats because of the imminence of a general war In the Balkans and I extension of the war drama to all of eastern Europe. The official statement of the big German victory against the Russian!! attracted wide attention. Military ob servers pointed out that if the number of Russians taken prisoner had been correctly estimated at 70,000, there must have been great casualties, no mention of which Is made. BELGIUM WILL NOT SUBMIT BUT FIGHT TO END. London.?The Belgian commission on its way to the United States to pro test against alleged German atroci ties in the war zone read an address to King George at Buckingham Pal ace setting forth some of the happen ings in the present campaign. The ad dress also thanked the King of Eng land's aid against the Germans. GERMANS The battle was raging lees than a mile The address In part reads: "Sire?Belgium having had to I choo3e between the sacrifice of her i honor and the peril of war, did not hesitate. She opposed the brutal ag greesion committed by a power which I was one of the guarantors of her neu ! trality.

"Commissioned by His Majesty the I King of Beligians with a mission to the president of the United States we considered it our duty to make a stay in the capital of the British Empire j to convey to Your Majesty a respect | ful and ardent expression of the ; gratitude of the Belgian nation."

The departure of Emperor William "in the direction of Mayence" (that Is as much .is the press was permitted to know or report aljout It) may be said to mark the beginning of this great European war, so far as Germany Is concerned. ? As In 1870, the moTe Important of the Emperor's advisers went to the front with him. The party included Chanvellor von Bethmann-Hollwegg, Secretary of State von Jagow. War Minister von Falkenhayn and other high governmental and army officials. The plan of campaign is that thought out many years ago and never since departed from?to bend all ener gies at the very outset to the smashing of German's Western neighbor. Rue sia is to be left to Austria until France shall have been disposed of. No one can come in daily contact with the officers of the general staff without being Impressed with their confidence In an eventual and abso lute victory. That the cost will be high is not for a moment doubted, but the men in charge of operations are determin ed to make any racrifice, no matter how appalling. The people are inclined to under rate ths size of the task before the German arms. They are, however, ready to pay the cost of victory, how ever great it may be. A marked feature of the situation has been the wonderful manner in which the German mobilization was carried out. Everything was pre pared In advance. There was not during tne wnoie period 01 moDiuza tion a single question from any per son In charge of any branch of the work. Not one instruction had been misunderstood. An illustration of tf-e thorough preparedness of the general staff is the experience of America's military attache, Major Langhorne, who called on War Minister von FalVenhayn in the midst of the mobil ization. Malor Langhorne began to excuse himself for intruding at such a busy time. "Come In, Major." said von Falken hayn. "I'm not particularly busy. I haven't anything to do." RUSSIANS CHECK ADVANCE OF AUSTRIA AT LUBIN. London.?Taking the French official announcement which mentions that ! the progress of the German right wing has forced the allies to yield further I ground, would seem to indicate that Germans, notwithstanding repulses, are - making steady advances toward Paris. The Austrian invasion of Russia in the Lubin district, which aroused the apprehension of the allies, has, if Rus sian dispatches are to be relied upon, been blocked and the Muscovites claim to have turned the Russian de fensive into an offensive action. There is no confirmation of the report that the Russians are in Koenigsberg. If silence means that there is noth ing doing, Sir John French's state ment Sunday that the British had not been molested siqce Wednesday still holds good. Nothing is known by the public in London of new fighting either in northern or eastern France. Carries 1,000 Tourists. Havre. ? via Paris. ?

"There was no chance to get another train, but about one o'clock the next morning I managed to get hold of a one-horse cart driven by a peasant who said he would take us to Verviers, where he thought we could get a train for Liege.
