~ , YEAR SINCE BIG BATTL?. 5^ Story of Engagement on the Maine Where Allies Checked Germans. t ? ? i The battle of the Marne began in One .late hours of August 5, a year .yet some of its details will be cHeared up only when, all official re JW1 ts auu uuuuuicuts axe av anauit, } 1 .: The respective strength of the i Armies during the battle of Charle|$i and the retreat, the number and pbsition of Gen Maunoury's forces during the retreat, and the prelfmi" ^ nary manoeuvres and the number and ' origin of the reinforcements sent to him during the battle, are disputed questions. The reason for the sudL den obliquing of Von Kluck's forces 'V y # on approaching Paris are also in ' doubt. Little by little, however, the principal developments of the battle have been established approximately. Though the execution of their i plans had been retarded a fortnight by the resistance encountered in Belgium, the Germans, in their vast cir-o >% s ' cqlar movement, pivoting on Metz, v.; T f y J yf- vreached the line of the Sambre and Meuse, August 21 with at least twenf ty-five corpse900,000 men) while the allies had assembled only seventeen corps, (680,000 men,) including two British corps. The allies, counting ^ / upon several days resistance by the I ' ; fortress of Namur, took the offensive ^ August 22, with the object of piercthe German lines at the junction of the Sambre and the Meuse and cutting the armies of Von Kluck and K v ~ V?n Buelow off from the rest of the & Serman forces. Pail of Xamurl PjL y}; v< Namur fell in a few hours: the yp r army of Gen. Foch (120,000 men) ^ , concentrating behind the centre, was jL not yet ready to go into action, and |V> * the plan of the allies^was comproI mised. After partial successes I :> / ground Uharieroi and on in? Meuse, ' V fh? "first division of reserves at Dinant was'thrown back and the 3rd corps at Marchiennes sustained a grave reverse, weakening the centre, \ by the army of Gen. Lanrezac. Gen. Langle de Cary on his right had ^ checked in the Ardennes, and Ruffey on the extreme right was in difficulties with the army of the crown prince of Prussia at the frontier of Luxembourg. On the extreme left the British troops around Mons were violently engaged with great superior numbers, constantly increasing and gravely threatening their envelopment. J The French general was informed ; by Gen: Joffre, August 23, that the enemy was sending three more corps upon his left. Gen. Smith Dorrien's 2nd was already giving ground. Such was the beginning of the fourteen days' retreat, during which the allies, covering 140 miles distance, on the left wing fought continual rear EshKSX? fe ' mior/4 oaIi'aWo ot?/? cnma imnnrtant SCuoi u miu ?vauv jlua^v? w v |?l engagements that checked the ad;V:'/ vance of# the Germans and prepared the battle of the Marne according to the plans to have been definitely fixed. August 27 by orders in Joffre's fil own hand. . Held Teutons in Check. Gen. Langle de Cary obliged the Duke of Wuerttemberg to recross the jj||. Meuse and held him there twentyfour hours, retiring only under or| ders from Joffre that he must be at Ih. Launois on the 29th. At Launois and Rthel he held the same forces August'28 to 31, before continuing . his retreat. From his position facr | ing the Ardennes to the front of the , '*?-Marne, he had fought ten whole days and covered sixty miles with his forces intact. I Gen., Lanrezac attained a success atfc Guise, but was ordered not to follow it up; the situation was not yet favorable for resuming a general v. offensive. | '<'! The retreat of Gen. French was at. '?* tended with the greatest difficulties. Germans, .sending ever increas1 iiig numbers of soldiers by forced iSv . marches against his left, necessitated . violent and desperate counter-attaeks. At Cambrai he sustained the i- #re of'the artillery of four corps; he lost 6,(100 men from the 23rd to the 2$th before being disengaged by a heroic charge of Gen. Allenby's cav v-: ' airy.. The army of Gen. Maunoury, after-, v- Wards called the Army of Paris, partt ly constituted the 26th near Amiens ^ r and popularly supposed not to have been in. action until September 6, appears to have gone to the support of the British contingent the 29th, in _ _S Al - n C4 me legiuu ui me oumme, wunc u m administered a severe check to Von Kluck's right. The superiority of numbers was too great, however, after every effort the allies round increasing forces on their left, and the (lines extended continually further west. The Germans occupied Amiens 4 H and continued on as far as Beauvais. tfv. This strengthening of the line and the obliquing of the army of Gen. Franchet l'Esperey (formerly the army of Lanrezac) to the left created a gap between that army and the army of Gen. Langle de Cary, which | V : was filled by the new army under Gen. Foch, in process of formation during the battle of Charleroi. Turns From Paris. i .. Von Kluck's army, whose objecti\ was supposed to be Paris, was officia ly reported September 4 as obliquin to the southeast, with the apparer intention of neglecting i aris and pui suing his efforts to turn the allie: left. At the same time the army c the crown prince on the left descenc ed along the western edge of th Argonne. There were two theorie of the sudden change in the directio of Von Kluck's march. One that li was pursuing the enveloping mov< ment; the other that he had disco ered the army of Paris on his rigf flank and by a clever dodge to th southwest avoided the menace of b< ing enveloped himself. In the ligt of later disclosures the first theor seems to be the good one.

The "trough" or semi-circle pr< pared by Joffre's orders was in pos tion, and the German armies had s far marched into it the 5th, th? General-in-Chief Joffre was able t issue orders for a general attack th next morning, in order of battle 8 follows: Maunoury northeast of Meau: ready to cross the Ourcq betwee Lizy-sur-Ourcq and Nay-en-Multie in the direction of Chateau Thierry British Army.
