GERMAN ADVANCE
BITTERLY CONTESTED!
French and British Stubbornly Fight Kaiser's I
Forces Contesting Every Foot of Advance
on Paris?Recruits and Guns Are Requi
sitioned by the European Allies
London, August 29.?11.15 p. m.?The French and British are
gathering every man and gun available in northwestern France in
an attempt to stop the German advance on the road to Paris.
It is also said that General Joffre, Gommander-in-chief of the
French army, will endeavor to strike at the German right and bring
relief to British and French forces which have been placed in a criti
cal situation by the German outflanking movement
How far the allies have succeeded in getting across the German
path is not disclosed, for the outside world is ignorant to night of
what is happening on the battlefield.
A report comes from both Antwerp and Copenhagen that the
Germans have commenced a movement back from the west to meet
the Russians' advance throug East Prussia. But it is hardly likely they
will make any great demands on the western army until the big battle
in which there seems to have been a lull has been definitely decided.
Field Marshal Sir John French, the British commander, whose
army has been hard pressed, was in communication wiith British war
office late today, which disproved the German official report that the
British had been encircled by'the GerrnEns. ' ?
Today's reports from the German general staff arc not more il
luminating than merely to say that the crown prince's army, which oc
cupied Longwy, is now advancing toward the Meuse, that a French
advance from Nancy had been repulsed, and that third army is ad
vancing through the Vosges. This is probably the army which was
said to be making Belfort its objective.
The Russians continu? their march through East Priussia, and
confirmation comes t?night of the statement tha$ they had invested
Koenigsberg and had taken Allenstein. It wtl! 'be a long time, how
ever, before they can directly threaten Berlin, or, indeed before their
millions of men can reach the scene of the Austrian frontier where
troops of the Russian emperor are engaged in a-general battle on <i
front of 186 miles between the 'Vistula and Lemburg, capital Of
Galacia.
There is considerable uneasiness over the attitude of Turkey.
Athens tonight repeated the report that German naval-officers and
k.rs are on. ihe.ir way '.ig; Qonstan?inn???.
and more men are recjufred to reinforce them, and particularly, of
young men patching matches'while Secreatry for War Kitchener isj
calling for recruits.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts referred to this today in a speech)
to a new battalion of Royal fusiniers recruited from business and pro
fessional men of London. He expressed his* intense admiration for
them, saying:
"How difficult is your action to that of the men who still can
go on with their cricket and football as if the very existence of the
country were not at stake. This is not the time to play games, whole
some as they are, in times of piping peace. We are engaged in a life
and death struggle."

London. Aug. 29.?8:20 p. m.?Tho

"Tho congressional committee has
spent a year lobbying for the passage
of national legislation which would
bring woman suffrage throughout .the
Un itedv States. We have polled both
houses of congress repeatedly and we
know how every member stands. We
have gone further than. that in i i the

"All or this data will bo placed at
