MAY MOVE CAPITALTO BORDEAUX French Prepare to Quit Paris. TROOPS RUSHING TO DEFENSE OF CITY Departing Trains Growded With People Who Would Avoid Threatened Seige. e bk b o b b + < Washington, Sept. 1.—France is considering the advisability of moving the seat of her gov- ernment from Paris to Bor- deaux, as a precautionary measure, according to official < advices received here. by - Ak bbb bbb e Paris, Sept. 1.—While no official in- formation regarding the military sit- \rou on the French frontier has b#n made public it is consideréed sig- nificant that Paris is preparing for a siege. All night long troops from the south and west of France have been arriving at the capital and passing by rail around the city to the locatlon in the encircling fortifica- tions to which they have been assign- ed. News dispatches say the Ger- mans are pressing towards Paris. There is great activity on the part of the municipal military administra- tion in completing the details of the plans tor the defense of Paris. The unusual animation noticed on the streets of Paris was caused chief- ly by the thousands of persons who are preparing to leave the capital. Persons are departing and taking their families with them as a matter of prudence. It is felt here that the fewer the number of noncombatants in the city the better will be the op- portunities for defense. lines of people stretched for blocks from the railway, stations. The ines were of those so anxious to leave the city that they took their positions waiting for the ticket offices to be opened 2t 6 a. m. ‘Whole families with their hand baggage camped in the lines, where they ate their meals. ASQUITH CRITICISES THE LONDON TIMES London, Sept. 1.—Premier Asquith publicly reprimanded the London Times in ‘he house of commons for having puulished the dispatch which created such excitement Sunday morning. “The publication of this dispatch,’ said the premier, “seems to me a re- grettable exception to the patriotic reticence which the press as a whole b-s shown up to the present, and 1 tiast it will not occur again.” Mr. Asquith opposed the suggestion to allow correspondents to go to the front, but admitted that the public was entitled to prompt and -authen- tic information as to what was hap- pening there and said arrangements were made which he hoped would prove adequate. " The London Times on Sunday morn- Ing printed a dispatch from Amiens. France, in which the correspondent took a pessimistic view of the situa- tion from the standpoint of the allies. ALLIES SAY THEIR ARMIES ARE INTACT Paris, Sept. 1.—An official state- ment summarizes the situation to date as follows: 3 “On our right after partial checks we have taken the offensive and the army is retiring before us. “In the center we have had alterna- tive checks and successes. “On our left, by a series of circum- stances which turned in favor of the Germans and despite lucky counter attacks, the Anglo-French forces were obliged to give way. As yet our armies, notwithstanding a few incon- testable checks, remain intact.” Japanese Take lsland. Peking, Sept. 1.—Information has been received here that Tachien, a small island outside of Kiaochou bay, has been occupied by the Japanese.

Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. “1 was taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, per- suaded me to try a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Colie, Cholera and Diarr- hoea Remedy. After taking one dose of it I was cured. Tt also cured others that I gave it to,” writes M. E. Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unusual. An ore dinary attack of diarrhoea can al- most invariably be cured by one or two doses of this remedy. For sale by All Dealers.

R R R R R R R R R R R X - London, Sept. 1.—An official telegram received in London declares that fresh -forces of Germans have made their ap- pearance on the Prussian fron- tier and that at some points they are taking the offensive against the Russians. B b i e s o ofe oo ol oo ohe oo b b o b o e e o b St. Petersburg, Sept. 1.—The sec- ond Russian offense is now engaged, having reinforced the first line, which, according to the war office, has driv- en back the German and Austriam columns that are co-operating for the defense of Galicia and Eastern Prus- sia. : The war office says the Russian advance is being steadily pushed for- ward and is “overcoming am unusual- ly stubborn resistance.” The Austrian raid into Southeastern Poland is said to have failed and the Austrians are now said to be in full retreat. The Russian advance now extends through Brzukovitze; Przemyslany and Kaminonka, while the ' heavy fighting almost directly in - front of Lemberg is still in progress. Aus: trian reinforcements have been rushed to the front. The Russian lipe is ap- proaching Lemberg. ' The Russians state thousands of prisoners, many guns and large quantities of suppllen have been captured. The citadel at Koenigsberg -is ‘still held by the'Germans. ‘It is-said not to be part of the Rusgian.plan-of’ offense to take it by:storm, but merely to keepithe garrison ‘bottled up:in it. That the Russians would prefer iso- lating Koenigsberg “instead - of-trying to take the city by storm is indicated by the strength of the fortifications. The city proper is fortifled- by an en- ceinte and twelve redoubts, six onthe right and six on the left of the Pregel river. Between them and within the city’s ramparts are two-great forts— Friederichsburg on an island in the Uregel river and Krasner ‘Kronprinz to the east of the city. The Pregel flows through Koenlgsberg in two branches. TAKE PARIS OR DIE, 1S KAISER'S ORDER London, Sept. 1.—The Times cor- respondent at Ostend reports a con- versation with a German officer from Drussels, who said that frantic ef- forts were being made to inflict a crushing blow on the allies, éspeciaily | on the English forces. h standing the success ach!

Despite all efforts to conceal the news from Prussia it is stated in- formation of a disquieting character regarding events there is beginning to circulate among the German forces and this feeling of anxiety was inten- sified when two divisions, totaling 80,000 men, passed the Meuse by the bridge of Andenne at Sellles, between Namur and Liege, en route for- Ger- man Holland.

SUPREME EFFORT T0 HALT GERMAN FORGES Paris, Sept. 1.—A sugreme effort to halt the German flanklng move- ment on the northwest is being made. At daylight the French army, mass- ed on the Lorraine frontier, attacked the German left and simultaneously the hattle was renewed in the entire Vosges region. It was hoped this would compél the Germans to with- draw some of their men from their right, thus relieving the intense pres- sure against the French left, which has been- surely and steadfly .falling back in-the face of assallt-by a su: perior force.
