GERMAN ADVANCE BITTERLY CONTESTED French and British Stubbornly Fight Kaiser's Forces Contesting Every Foot of Advance on Paris-Recruit? ?ind 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. lt is also said-that General Joffre, commander-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 Germans. Today's reports from the German general staff are 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 continue their march through East Priussia, and confirmation comes tonight of the statement tha{ they had invested Koenigsberg md had taken Allenstein. lt will "be a iong 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 a front of 186 miles between the Vistula and Lemburg, capital of Galacia. . ? There is considearble uneasiness over the attitude of Turkey.] Athens tonight repeated the report that German naval officers and; sailors are on their -way to Constantinople. There has been strong denunciation of the discontinuance of . football, cricket_and other ?ames while- th?;British army is fighting and more men are required to reinforce them, and particularly of young men watching matches while Secreatry for War Kitchener is ceiling for.recruits. Field Marshal Lord Roberts referred to this today in. a speech] to a new battalion of Royal fusilliers recruited from business and pro fessional men . of London. He expressed his intens? admiration foi 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 funes of piping peace. We are engaged in a life j and death struggle." . a Q-f Helgoland Graphically Described London.
