COVERING THE PERIOD MOST
INTERESTING FROM SEPTEMBER

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

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.

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.
