OFFICIAL STATEMENT GIVES WAR HISTORY COVERING THE PERIOD MOST INTERESTING FROM SEPTEMBER 4th TO 10th. HURLED GERMANS BACK ! Other Reports Were Garbled as Compared to This.?Full History of. Movements Near Paris I'p to Middle of Last Week,?Read and Keep Informed. The censored reports of the fighting near thn rit.V nf Pnric cinm mnvn. ment of the German began gave very uncertain ideas as to the exact situation from day to day. From the first it appeared that the object of the Germans was to march swiftly through Belgium an onward to the very gates of Paris before the of France and England should recover from their astonishment. To the sorrow of the German generals they found such stout resistance in Belgium that it took weeks to hew a passage through, and even then the trouble was not ended. After passing through Belgium the Germans continued their march and for a time it appeared that they might take Paris.' It appeared that way to the people of Paris, because they removed the capital from that city to Bordeaux. This brings the matter up to about September 4th. An official report is-1 sued in London last week gives an accurate history of the movements of the opposing armies from about the 4th of September, until the time that the allied armies of the French and English by the ardor and fierceness of their lighting started the Germans to taking the back track. This official \ report is valuable for its information Kit ttiiit" r?nn ronifinir it r? 1 ? w w v..v . it "in na > t' cl 11 <11. " ( curate idea of the fighting in the vicinity of Paris. The report states as follows. It will he remembered that the general position of our troops (British) on Sunday September C>, was stated to be south of the river Marnc, with the French, forces in lie 0:1 our right and left Practically there had been no change in the situation since Thurs I day, September 3, wwhich marked the end of our army's long retirement , from the Belgian frontier through Northern France. . "On Friday, September 4, it became apparent that there was an alteration in the advance cf almost the whole of the first German army. That army, since the battle near Mons on the 2i ' > t 1 of August, had been playing its part in a colossal strategic endeavor to create a Sedan for the allies by outflanking and enveloping the left of their whole line so as to encircle and drive both the British and French to the, south. , ttierwan? Struck Across. J'Therc was now a change in its objective and it was observed that the German forces opposite the British were beginning to move in a southeasterly direction instead of continuing southwest or. the capital, leaving a strong guard along the line of tlie river Ourcq (which flews south cf and joins the Mamo at Lizy-Sur-Ourcq) to keep oil' the French Sixth army which by then had been formed and was to the northwest of Paris. They were evidently executing what amounted to a flank march diagonally across our front. "Prepared to ignore the British as being driven out of the fight they were initiating an effort to attack the left flank of the main French army which stretched in a long curved line from our light towards the east and so to carry out against it alone an envelopment which so far had failed against the combined forces of the allies. ''On Saturday, the 5th, this movement. on the part of the Germans was continued and large advance parties crossed the Marne southward at Trilport, Sammerin, La-Fere-Gaucher and Chateau Thierre. There was considerable fighting with the French Fifth army on the French left which fell back from its position south of the Marne toward the Seine. "On Sunday large hostile forces crossed the Marne and pushed on through Coulommiers and past the 4.!.!. I r 1 * - Dnujsn ngni lurtncr to the east. They were attacked at night by the French Fifth army, which captured three villages at the point of the bayonet. Allies General Advance. "On Monday, September 7, there was a general advance on the part of the allies. In this quarter of the held our forces, which had now been reinforced, pushed on in a northeasterly direction in cooperation with the advance of the French Fifth army to the north and of the French Sixth army to the eastward against the German rear guard along the river Ourcq The Germans on this day commenced to retire to wards the northeast. "This was the first sign that these troops had turned back since their attack at Mons a fortnight before, and from reports received the order to retreat when so close to Paris was a bitter disappointment. From letters found on dead soldiers there is no doubt there was a general impression amongst the enemy's troops that they were about to enter Paris. "On Tuesday, September 8, the German movement northeastwards was continued. Their rear guard on the south of the Mame were being pressed back to that river by our troops and by the French on the right, the latter capturing their villages after a hand to hand fight and the infliction of severe losses on the enemy, j "The fighting along the Ourcq continued on this day and was of the most sanguinary character. The French Fifth army also made a fierce attack on the Germans in Montmirial, regaining that place. British Pursue Enemy. "On Wednesday, September 9, the battle between the French Sixth army and what was now the German flank guard along the Ourcq continued. The British corps, overcoming some resistance on the liver Petit Morin, crossed Mame in pursuit of the Germans who now were hastily retreating northwards. "On Thursday, September 10, the French Sixth army continued its pressure on the west while the Fifth army by forced marches reached the line of Chateau Thierry and Dormans on the Marne. Our troops also continued the pursuit on the north of the latter river and after a considerable amount of fighting captured some 1,500 prisoners, four guns, six machine guns and 50 transport wagons. "The numerous thick woods which dot the country north of Marne are filled with German stragglers. Most of them appear to have been without food for at least two days. "Indeed, in this area of the operations, the Germans seem to be demoralized and inclined to surrender in small parties, and the general situation appears to be most favorable to the allies. Country Has Heen Pillaged. "Much brutal and senseless damage has been done in the villages occupied by the enemy. Property has been wan tonly destroyed. Pictures of Chaleaus have been ripped up and houses generally have been pillaged. "It is stated on unimpeachable authority that the inhabitants have been much ill-treated. "Interesting incidents have occurred during the fighting. On Septembei 10 a small party under a non-commissioned officer, was cut off and surrounded. After a desperate resistance it was decided to go on fighting to the end. Finally only the non-commissioned officer and two men were left and these wounded. "Two Germans came up and shouted to them 'lay down your arms.' The! vjr/rman commander, however, signalled them to keep their arms and then asked permission to shake hands with the wounded non-ccmissioned officer, who was carried off on his stretchers with his rifle by his side. "The arrival of reinforcements and the continued advance have delighted our troops who are full of zeal and anxious to press on. "One of the features on our side hne lor*/* to f lo r\ enoo/oeo f f o i >\a/1 \\ + t < iltto tuc ouwvtoo Cl I till I IUI I u%y tnc royal flying corps. That their services are fully appreciated by our allies is shown from the following message from the commander in chief of the French armies, received September 9, by Field Marshal Lord Kitchener: " Please express most particularly to Marshal French my thanks for the services rendered on every day by the English flying corps. The precision, exactitude and regularity of the news brought in by its members are evidence of the perfect organization and also of the perfect training of the nilots and observers. Great Task Accomplished. "To give a rough idea of the amount of work carried out it is sufficient to mention that during a period of 20 days up to the 10th of September a daily average of more than nine reconnaissance flights over 100 miles each has been maintained. "The constant object of our aviators has been to effect an accurate location of the enemy's forces, and, incidentally, since the operations cover so large area, of our own units. "Nevertheless, the tactics adoptee for dealing with hostile air craft ar< to attack instantly with one or more British machines. In live cases Ger: man observers have been shot while j in the air and their machines brought j to ground. The enemy have recently 1 become much less enterprising in then | flights, and something in the direction of the mastery of tho air already has been gained. "Bomb dropping has not been indulged in to any great extent. On one occasion a petrol bomb was successfully exploded in a German bivouac at night, while from a diary found on a dead German cavalry, sob N t dier it has been discovered that a high explosive bomb, thrown at a cavalry column from one of our aeroplanes, struck an ammunition wagon, resulting in an explosion which killed fifteen of the enemy." Since the dates set forth in the fore going report, it is easy to fill in the gaps in the history of this war. During the early part of last week the English and French were eagerly pushing their advantage and the Germans were still on the run, so ta speak. The center and one wing of the German forces had been forced to retreat and give ground to keep from utter destruction. On Wednesday of last week the despatches stated that Germany's armies to the north and the cast of Paris, after retreating for upwards of 50 nines wwara tne iselgian frontier, were making a determined stand along the river Aisne. A news agency dispatch from Dieppe said that General Von Kluck had been enveloped by a French encircling movement and forced to surrender vith a large command and a quantity of guns and ammunition. i MAKES RAPID HEADWAY Add This Fact to Your Store of Knowledge.

Probably no other nation in the world so nearly approaches absolute independence in respect to mineral resources as the United States. A glance at the statistics of mineral imports affords a means of comprehending in a broad way how great and complex is the task of attaining national independence in the mining, metallurgical, and chemical industries Last year the imports of mineral products, both crude and manufactured, exceeded 270,000.000. Of this total probably $200,000,000 represents raw materials and crude metals, the value of these imports being about 8 per cent, of that of the domestic output. In this list of imports the larger items named in the order of value are unmanufactured copper, precious stones, nitrate of soda, copper ore, and nickel, tin, iron ore. pig iron and steel, petroleum products, manganese ores and alloys, platinum, aluminum, pyritc, graphite, stone, potash, nad magncsite. This country has an abundant i supply of most of these mineral proI ducts ibat arc now imported in large ".mounts, and as to them it can be independent of foreign countries. The only essential minerals of the first "ink of which the United Stats has no known supply at all commensurate with its needs are nitrates, potash, salts, tin, nickel, and platinum, the list thus comprising two essential mineral fertilizers and three very useful metals. his Last MGBlfPl | tJ RAT CORN J \ \ Is better than a HlJ^ dozen Cats.
