Tesky, who is from Charleston, actured a wrist and a finger. Willie rilds was badly jarred and was ruised. Harry Davis suffered a irained ankle. The automobiles were bunched in aking the curve at the eastern end : the track where accidents have oclrred during several previous ar.tolobile racing meets. The Buick 38 iven by R.

The dust was heavy iid the driver behind each car could at see ahead, nor did he have time r space to avoid the wreck, the ears ;ing very closely bunched, '''he accident occurred so quickly ad so unexpectedly that some of the rivers are unable to say exactly how did happen. Harry Davis, who was i the midst of the fray, and so was i position to see the whole atTair. ave the above version of it and the ther drivers seem to agree that his ceount is substantially accurate. At the point where the accident oearred the track is slow, the sand ping deeper here than elsewhere on ae course. The curve is also sharp, laking a place whei'e it is easy for a ar to skid and where it is hard to lanage a machine.

GERMAN ADVANCE CHECKED AT DOOR OF PARIS, IT IS SAID Town of Maubeuge to Be Held By French With Assistance of British Troops. (Monday's State.) The allied armies defending the roads to Paris again have come into contact with the German right wing: on the t?anks of the river Grand Morin, which runs east and west, somewhat south of the Paris line. An official statement issued by the French war office says the allies' ad\ance tioops came into touch w?th the Oc! man forces, which seem to be covering: on the river Ourcq towards the southwest, the movement of the main body of the German right wing, and a small engagement resulted in an advantage to the French. The town of Maubeuge, where it is reported British troops are assisting the French garrison, is said still to be resisting German assault. From Berlin, by way of Amster,lnm rnmps n rpnnrt fKaf C?? mans are attacking the forts at Nancy and that Emperor William and the general staff are watching the operations. The British official war information bureau has issued a long general survey of operations of the British army during the past week, and in addition a list of British casualities, which shows a total of more than 15,000 men up to September 1. The statement. which is based on a report from Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British forces at the front, speaks hiirhly of the snirit of the British soldiers and their achievements. It declares that while the British losses are heavy they are not one-third of the losses inflicted by the British troops on the Germans. The statement closes with a call for more men. Berlin reports that 3.000 British prisoners have reached Doberitz. A bombardment has begun on the fortifications at Cattaro, an AustroHungarian seaport, by the French fleet and advices from Cettinje credit the Montenegrin troops with the defeat of the Austrians at Boljanitz, ni Herzegovina. France is calling out 1015 recruits, and in this way will add 250,000 men to her forces with a few months. The German reichstag, represented by the members of all parties, has promised its full support to whatever measures the minister of marine deems necessary. Appropriations will be made for the replacement of ships lost and to carry out the programme of construction already arranged. A British steamer of the Wilson line, with hundreds of passengers aboard, has founded in the North sea after striking a mine. Most of those aboard were saved. Hussion official announcements de scribe a stronjr offensive movement against the Austrians on September 4? The Forty-fifth Austrian regiment of infantry surrendered, 1,(500 men being taken. German troops, marchling to the aid of the Austrians, were \ attacked, but the result of these operations have not been made known. A German official statement says the allied troops are in retreat between Paris and Verdun and that the German troops are pursuing them. It adds that in the eastern theatre of war the Austrian attack on Lublin j> continues and that the Austrians are engaged in dispersing the Russians. l ate advices say train service between Paris and Dieppe has been sus perwled. t m r IT MI ST BE TRI E.
