TAKEN BY GERMANS Fortress Falls After, Week’s Siege. FORTY THOUSAND FRENCH CAPTURED Four Hurdred Guns Also Fall Into Hands of the Kai- ser's Troops. London, Sept. 10.—Official announce- ment was made at the war office in Berlin that the French fortress at Maubeuge, on the Sambre river, about six miles from the Belgian frontier, has fallen and that the Germans took 40,000 prisoners, including four gen- erals, and captured 400 guns. An official communication issued in Paris, howeyer, says the situation re- mains satisfactory. The German right is retreating before the English. The French center is slowly advanc- ing. The situation on the right is unchanged. The statement says: “First—On the left wing, although the Germans have been reinforced, the situation remains satisfactory. The enemy is retreating before the British army. “Second—At the center our ad- vance is slow but general. On the right wing there has been action of the enemy against the great circle of Nancy. In the Vosges and in Alsace the situation remains unchanged.” Siege Lasted_Week or More. Dispatches would indicate the Ger- mans have been besieging Maubeuge for a week or more. The British are said to have assisted the French gar- rison in the defense. On Sept. 6 the German war office announced two of the Maubeuge forts had fallen and that artillery fire was being directed against the town. On the same day Paris reported that Maubeuge con- tinued its resistance. The German embassy at Washing- ton has received a message from Ber- lin confirming the German victory at Maubeuge. The message says: “The German military railway lines are now free and that the papers in Ber- lin speak of the 40,000 captured, meaning the weakening’of the enemy.” Maubeuge, however, was not in the line of what is believed to be the greatest battle of the war, and de- spite its fall the French reports as-! sert the allles are making progress east of Paris on the line from Mont- miralll to Verdun, and from Verdun to Nancy, where 3,000,000 men are said to be engaged. The British em- bassy at Washington has received the following official French communica- tion: Many Prisoners Taken. “The Anglo-French. taken many prisoners, including a battalion of infantry, a mitrailleuse company and many caissons.” A news dispatch from Paris indi- cates the German offensive against that city definitely has been checked and a Central News dispatch from Basel, Switzerland, says the Germans have evacuated Upper Alsace. Although little light is thrown on the movements of the campaign east of Paris the French war office at Bor- deaux has issued a statement indicat- ing that the French strategical posi- tion is better now than at the begin- ning of operations. The German formation is now in convex form, which is absolutely con- trary to the whole conception of the German general staff. The French statement says: “On the Tth the French and Eng- lish offensive had compelled the Ger- mans to withdraw. Two of its army corps have been thrown on the left side of the Ourcq. “The fourth army has attacked us in the Vitre-la-Francois region. A falling back movement of the enemy has been closely observed.” PARIS SAYS SPEED HAGSTED GERMANS Paris, Sept. 10.—The German prog- ress seems to have been too rapid and too precipitate in its eagerness to get to the gates of Paris, for they arrived out of breath and to all appearances out of ammunition, which may ex- plain why they did not pursue their original plan. All prisoners, of whom 300 or more have just arrived in Paris, appear fagged and harassed and the spirit of the army seems to be everything that is different from the conquerors who pushed back the army of defense from the frontier and reached the gates of the capital in ten days. Whether they hoped to gain time by a tangent movement away from Parls, or as some military critics sup- Posed, aimed to effect a junction with the army of the crown prince, which was to come from the direction of Longwy, the developments of the last four days prove that it was a grave error, forces have S Sl i< There is one wage-earning woman to three wage-earning men in” New York state.

A great battle is proceeding. The fighting in Norfh Galicia and in Russian Poland continues with the Austrians in full retreat. They are being greatly harassed by the Rus- sian cavalry. The army of General Rouszky has attacked them on their right flank. The Russian forces have attacked the strongly fortified position of Go- dek, directly west of Lemberg and on the direct railroad route to Przemysl, which is also invested, During the last three days’ fighting the army of General von Auffenberg bas suffered very heavy losses. One entire regiment of infantry was sur- rounded by a Cossack column and cut off. It surrendered with all equip- ment. - But the Russian losses have been equally great. It is confirmed at the headquarters of the general staff that Austrians have been defeated in a series of bat- tles in the passes of the Carpathian mountains. The Russian cavalry has penetrated to the summits of the Car- pathian mountains and the army moving through Bukovina is reported already to have reached the entrance to the Borho pass. OPEN SHOP IN BUTTE MINES With Town Under Martial Law Closed Policy Ends. Butte, Mont.,, Sept. 10.—Open shop went into effect in Butte, the home for thirty-six years of the largest union “local” in the West. Some 10, 000 miners, until recently all mem- bers of Butte Miners’ Union No. 1 of the Western Federation of Miners, but now divided between that or- ganization and the mnewly formed Butte Mine Workers’ union, were no- tified that, from the viewpoint of their employers, it made no difference whether they belonged to either or- ganization or none. The employers announced that wages and hours of work existing un- der union contracts would be con- tinued. The companies asserted that the new organization had adopted an attitude impossible of recognition and the old one was virtually extinct. Germany’s First War Loan. London, Sept. 10—A dispatch ta Reuter’s Telegram company from Amsterdam quotes Berlin papers as saying that they learn from a reliable source thatthe directors of the im- perial bank soof® will publish the terms of the ‘first German war loan. It is said that the loan will be $250,- 000,000, consisting of 5 per cent treas- ury bonds and government notes. Bring Troops From Orient. Shanghal, Sept. 10.—Reports from Hongkong say the British Cornwall and Gloucestershire regiments have been ordered to Marseilles. The troops will leave Hongkonk Sept. 14, using the Pacific Mail line steamer Nile as a transport. The Nile will be accompanied by the hospital ship Delta and the two vessels will be con- voyed by a British cruiser. Merchant Ships Sunk. Parls, Sept. 10.—A dispatch from Bordeaux to the Havas agency states that two German merchant ships have been sunk in the Adriatic by the French cruisers Conde and Descartes, aided by the British cruiser Bristol. May Return to Parls. Bordeaux, -via London, Sept. 10.— Des Armes, a newspaper issued by the ministry of war, declares there is every reason ‘to believe that the stay of the French government in Ber- deaux will be short. S 5 FREDERICK CHARLES. Brother-in-Law of the Kaiser Leading Germans in Battle. FRENCH CENTER IS AT HISTGRI SPaT London, Sept. 10.—If inspiration means to the French soldier what it did in the time of the first Napolcon the situation on the allies’ center, on the historic field of Chalons, should offer compensation for a dishearten- ing month or rear guard actions. At any rate the allies, now superior or at least equal in numbers to the Germans, evidently have begun the offensive. At least 3,000,000 men are engaged on both sides and as the cen- ter of the allies lies on the plains of Chalons, true to many prophesies, an- other Armageddon may take place where Attilia, surnamed the “Scourge of God,” was defsated by the allied Visigoths and Romans in the.blood- iest battle in the world’s history. On these plains, centuries later, Napoleon conducted the most bril- liant defensive campaign of his ca- reer. The French soldiers will not be allowed to forget also that on this field a French army fought a vie- torious action after its commander had surrendered his sword. British Agricultural Secretary Urges Intensive Farming. London, Sept. 10.- don Grayure, secretary of the nist Agricul- tural committee, ued an open letter in which he urges every avail- able acre of land in the Br be plowed and inte lowed out carefully “If steps are not taken to secure a supply of wheat,” says the secretary, “we will see wheat rise to famine alling Kept Secret. ‘Qile,, Sept. 10.—The date of the departure‘of the Canadian ex- for Europe will be kept secret as long as possible by the military authorities.. It has been gen- erally understood that troops would sail about Sept. 15, but Colonel Will- jams, camp commandant, when asked about the probable date of departure said he had received no word. ‘American Diplomacy Triumphs. London, Sept. 10.—The correspond- ent of the Daily Mail at Ostend tele- graphs as follows:- “The- American consul informs me that the agreement whereby the Germans refrained from entering Ghent and imposing an in- demnity was a triumph of American diplomacy.” Vessel May Be Sunk. Stockholm, viaiLondon, Sept. 10.— Anxiety is felt over the nonarrival of the Finnish passenger steamer Svea- borg, coming from Raumo, Finland, with many British and Americans aboard. It is feared it was captured or sunk by German'warships which have been watching for Russian re- serves returning 'from America. Turkish Troops Revolt. London, Sept. 10.—Dispatches from Bucharest say the Turkish troops in Adrianople have revolted as the re- sult of the failure of the authorities to send food.
