JTTLE OF MARNE FOUGHT YEAR AGO Knniversary of German Approach to Paris. Paris, Sept. 6.—The battle of the Marne began in the late hours of last night a year ago, yet some of its de- tails will cleared up only when all official reports and documents are available. The respective strength of the armies during the battle of Charleroi and the retreat, the number and posi- tion of General Maunoury’s forces during the retreat, and the prelim- inary manoeuvres, and the number and origin of the reinforcements sent him during the battle, are disputed questions. The reasons for the sud- den obliquing of von Kluck’s forces on approaching Paris are also in doubt. Little by little, however, the principal developments of the bat- tle have been established approxi- mately. Germans Reach Meuse. Though the execution of their plans had been retarded a fortnight by the resistance encountered in Belgium, the Germans, in their vast circular movement, pivoting on Metz, reached the line of the Sambre and Meuke Au- gust 21 with at least twenty-five corps (900,000 men) while the allies had assembled only seventeen corps (680,000 men), including two British corps. The allies, counting upon' sev- eral days resistance by the fortress of Namur, took the offensive August 22, with the object of piercing the German lines at the junction of the Sambre and the Meuse and cutting the armies of von Kluck and von Bue- low off from the rest of the German forces. Namur fell in a few hours; the army of General Foch (120,000 men), concentrating behind the center, was not yet ready to go into action, and the plan of the allies was com- promised. After partial succcesses around Charleroi and on the Meuse, the first division of reserves at Dinant was thrown back and the third corps at Marchiennes sustained a grave re- verse, weakening the center, held by the army of General Lanrezac. Gen- eral Langle de Cary on his right had been checked in the Ardennes, and Ruffey on the extreme right was in difficulties with the army of the Crown Prince of Prussia at the fron- tier of Luxembourg. On the extreme left the British troops around Mons were violently engaged with greatly superior numbers, constantly in- ereasing and gravely threatening their envelopment. ' of: Retreat. ¢ The French general was informed b% General Joffre, August 23, that the ‘enemy was sending three more corps upon his left. General Smith Dor- rien’s 2nd corps was already giving ground. Such was the beginning of the fourteen days’ retreat, during which the allies, covering 140 miles 'distance, on the left wing fought con- ‘tinual rear guard actions and some important engagements that checked the advance of the Germans and pre- pared the battle of the Marne ae- eording to the plans said to have been 7 definitely fixed August 27 by orders in Joffre’s o%n hand. General Langle de Cary obliged the Duke of Wuerttemberg to recross the Meuse and held him there twenty- four hours, retiring only under orders from Joffre that he must be at Launois on the 29. At Launois and Rethel he held the same forces from August 28 to 81, before continuing his retreat. From his position facing the Ardennes to the front of the Marne, he had fought ten whole days and covered sixty miles with his forces in- tact. General Lanrezac attained a success at Guise, but was ordered not to fol- low it up; the situatien was not yet favorable for resuming a general of- fensive. Retreat Difficult. The retreat of General French was attended with the greatest difficulties. The Germans, sending ever increas- ing numbers of soldiers by forced marches against his left, necessitated violent and desperate counter attacks. At Cambrai he sustained the fire of the artillery of four corps; he lost 6,000 men from the 23rd to the 26th before being disengaged by a heroic charge of General Alenby’s cavalry. The army of General Maunoury, af- terward called the Army of Paris, partly constituted the 26th near Amiens and popularly suppos=ed n)t to have been in action until Septem- ber 6, appears to have gone to the support of the British contingent the 29th, in the Kluck’s right. The su- periority of numbers was too great, however; after every effort the allies found increasnig forces on their left, and the lines extend continualy fur- ther west. The Germans occupied Amiens and continued on as far as Beauvais. This strengthening of the Hne and the obliquing of the army of General Franchet d’Esperey (for- merly the army of Lanrezac) to the left, created a gap between that army and the army of General Langle de Cary, which was fllled by the new army under General Foch, in process of formation during the battle of Charleroi. Von Kluck’s Oblique. Von Kluck’s army, whose objective ~ was supposed to be Paris, was of- + golally reported September 4 as ob- Aquing to the southeast, with the ap- Agxent intention of neglecting Paris 1 4nd pursuing his efforts to turn the pllies’ left. At the same time the army of the Crown Prince on the left descended along the western edge of the Argonne. Ther were two theories of the sudden change in the direction of von Kluck’s march. Omg that he was pursuing the envelopifig move- ment; the other that he/had dis- rovered the army of Paris on his right fank and by a clever dodge to the southeast avoided the menace of be- Ing enveloped himself. In the light of later disclosures the first theory[ seems to be the good one. The oblique movement continued after the partial check at Compiegne and Chantilly by way of Beauvais, Dammartin, Meuax. Senlis and Compiegne were evacuated by them the 5th—the advance guard reached the region of Provins, thirty miles southeast of Paris and twenty miles south of Meaux. Plan of Attack, The “trough” or semi-circle pre- pared by Joffre’s orders was in posi- tion, and the German armies had so far marched into it the 5th, that Gen- eral in Chief Joffre was able to issue orders for a general attack the next morning, in order of battle as fol- lows: Maunoury northeast of Meaux, ready to cross the Ourcq between Lizy-sur-Ourcq and Nay-en-Multien in the direction of Chateau-Thierry. British army on front Changis- Coulommiers, facing the east, ready to attack in the direction of Mont- mirail, Fifth army of Franchet d’Esperey between Courtacon-Esternay and Se- zanne, ready for attack in direction of the north. i Seventh army of General Foch cov- ering the right of 5th army and hold- ing southern issues of the Saint-Gond marshes. Offensive by these armies to taken September 6 in the morning. The following day Joffre completed his dispositon of the allied forces by orders to the 4th and 3rd armies as follows: Fourth army of General Langle de Cary—stop movement southward, turn about and face enerny, combin- ing its movements with 3rd army, which was to debouch to the north of Revigny and take the offensive to- ‘ward the west. Third army will attack the left flank of the enemy which is march- ing to the west of the Argonne. The formation of the position into which the ‘German armies marched was that of a wide trough; Maunoury and French formed the side toward Paris, Franchet d’Esperey, Foch and and Langle de Cary the bottom, while Sarrail’s army formed the side to- ward Verdun in the Argonne. Events of September 6th, Maunoury’s Zouves and Moors be- gan the Battle of the Marne in the early hours of the 6th of September by recapturing the ridges of Marcilly, Barcy, Chambry, and Penchard— while the 7th corps also advanced to the north. From dawn the British army and the army of General Franchet d’'Es- perey, were heavily engaged with Von Kluck and Von Buelow’s right. The British, facing a general northeasterly direction, attacked the German line in the angle of the trough. After ten hours continual fighting, the pressure on the British front and that of the 6th army on its right diminished. Hard pressed on his flank by Maunoury and with 'his communications threatened von Kluck was obliged to weaken his center by sending two corps (80,000 men) to the support of the over- whelmed 4th corps on the Ourcq. The withdrawal of these troops was con- cealed by a particularly violent at- tack in which were sacrificed a great number of men. During the afternoon von Kluck was obliged to repass the Grand Morin and abandon Coulommiers, but suc- ceeded in maintaining himself on the right bank. The army of Franchet d’ Esperey. also gained ground. The Senegalese riflemen drove the Ger- mans from the village and the en- virons of Jouy-sur-Morin at the point of the bayonet. Several villages were taken and retaken and the fighting continued by moonlight, the French troops taking three more villages. The strongest shock of this first days’ fighting supported by the 7th army of General Foch. After resist- ing the pressure of the first assault a rigorous counter-attack realized a gain on his left before Morndement. The 4th army of Langle deCary though just arrived, ' also attacked vigorously along the entire front. The army of the crown prince of Prussia had just taken up its posi- tion before the Argonne and begun an attack, which Serrail repulsed. Dubail, in the Vosges, pushed back the forces® of von Heeringen and De Castelnau held the Grand Couronne de Nancy against the attacks of the crown prince of Bavaria. September 7th. On the morning of the 7th Maun- oury found in front of him not only the single corps of the preceding day but 120,000 men; von Kluck had skil- fully accomplished the conversion of his forces and for the moment disen- gaged his flank and saved the entire German army from disaster. Several villages were retaken by the Germans and the pressure everywhere was severely felt. The day was saved for the army of Paris by the 2nd Zouaves round Etrepilly, where tne most violent attacks were repulsed, at such a cost to the Germans that they found it necessary to burn their dead. The British troops accentuated their advance, punishing severely the cav- alry divisions of the Prussian guard by remarkable charges of the 9th Lan- cers and the 18th Hussars. Franchet d‘Esperey took at the point of the bayonet Vieux Maisons and Plerreby on von Kluck’s left, and after several violent combats crossed the Grand Morin, occupied Jouy-sur- Morin definitely and took up position on the Petit Morin. Foch, overrun by numbers on his right, held good until the 11th corps, weakened; then established his line a little in the rear of the front Salon- Gougancon-Counatre-Allemand. The 12th corps of General Langle de Cary’s army, heavily punished, was sent to the rear to be reorganized. Six bdttallons of this corps—the least tried—sustained alone the attack of 25,000 Germans all the evening, The German attacks were arrested + around Sompiers by the 13th division of the 21st corps, which lost its chief, Rarbade, as well as Colonel Hamont and a great many other officers. The army of General Sarrail and that of the Crown Prince of Prussia lcontlnued their duel, without result. be General de Castelnau, before Nancy, having lost the Plateau of Amance, retook it and held it while Dubail in the Vosges maintained his advances. September 8th. The morning of the 8th found the position of the wings little changed from the beginning and the Allies’ success limited to the gains of the British forces and the army of Langle | de Cary. The fighting had continued all night. The army of Paris at the extreme left weakened, but the cen- ter held firm by grace of the furious charges by the Algerian and Moroc- | can troops that created gaps in tha enemy’s ranks, in each case im- mediately filled. The day passed in attacks and counter-attacks. Villages were taken, retaken. tery of Chambry, a 8reat many ofi- cers and soldiers of the 3rd Zouaves were killed, and finally the line began to bend back in the direction of Neuf- moutiers. The 4th Corps, commanded by Gen- eral Boelle, brought from Alsace and retarded en route by the exodus of civilians from Paris, arrived—one division went to the support of the British troops, the other reinforced Maunoury. The situation of the army of Paris became critical as the result of the retreat of the 1li4th di- vision of the 7th corps. The British forces, reinforced . by one division of the 4th corps, made further gains, taking many prisoners and several cannon. The army of General Franched d'Espsrey, after eight hours hand-to-hand fighting, en- tered Montmirail and the army of Von Buelow leaving 7,000 dead and a large number of prisoners, was in re- treat all along the line. General Foch, at dawn, declared to his troops: “The situation is excellent. again a vigorous offensive.” Von Buelow’s Retreat. The retreat of part of Von Buelow’s forces before Franchet d'Esperey broke the German line and facilitated | the efforts of Foch’'s army on his | right. The key to the heights of Sezanne, the Chateau of Mondement, where the Prince Eitel Friedrich of Von Kluck’s staff had conferred and dined with Von Buelow, was the cen- ter of attack. The artillery drove out the staff, after which the Moroccan riflemen penetrated the park of the chateau—were driven out, attacked again and were repulsed. A third assault succeeded and in the park lay 3,000 dead ,Germans, in- cluding two generals. Whole bat- talions of French troops were an- nihilated there. Fere Champenoise and Sommesous, after Sezanne, fell into the hand of Foch's army. Sommesous counter- attacked by the Prussian Guard, re- mained in their hands only the time necessary for the French forces to reform. Two regiments of the eleventh corps charged and drove out the fourth regiment of Grenadiers of the Queen Augusta and the fourth regiment of Grenadiers of the Em- peror Francis. A vital development of the day’s fighting was the discovery, by avia- {ors, of a gap between the armies of Von Buelow and Von Hausen, the effect of Von Buelow's retreat, leav- ing Von Hausen’ right flank exposed. By an audacious and opportune manoeuver, General Foch massed his right in this gap under cover of the night, before Von Hausen’s flank, and threw his adversary back upon the marches of Saint-Gohd in disorder. The German losses there were heavy. The army of Langle de Cary was very heavily engaged around Vitry- Je Francols, where the forces of the Duke of Wuertemberg counter-at- tacked fiercely. The artillery fire crossed here over the town of Vitry- le-Francoig, which was partly in flames. At Pagny and at Maurupt- le Montay both sides lost heavily in hamd-to-hand fighting. By a night attack the French infantry toak_ the village of Etrepy, almost entirely burned, and the surrounding region. A little progress was made also to the left of Vitry-le-Francois. Serrail, menaced with envelopment by a combined attack from forces coming from Metz and the Crown Prince’s army in front, sent his cav- alry against the forces from Metz and continued his infantry attacks in front. Fresh troops from Strass- burg resumed the violent but vain attacks upon the Heights of Amance, i The German losses here were ex- tremely heavy, but less than on the Heights of Sainte-Genevieve, where de Castelnau’s troops inflicted such losses on the Bavarian reinforcements I order from Metz that they were obliged to retire upon the village of Atton. Dubail, obliged to abandon Lune- ville to the enemy held them in check alsewhere and retook the sum- mit of Mandroy and Fourmeanux. September 9th, The position of the army of Paris, which had become critical the eve- ning of the 8th, had not improved the morning of the 9th. Heavily out- numbered, it appeared little likely that the position could be held with- out reinforcements. General Joffre ordered Maunoury to resist just the same to,the last man. The formation of the line had been so modified that the army of Paris described an angle, one side of which faced the east and the other north. Three thousand men of the 7th corps, pitted against one entire division, began an attack at Marville, and the action became general: During nine hours the battle waged incessantly. En- couraged by news of successes of the their armies, Maunoury’s men re- doubled their assaults. General Man- gin, with the b6th division, by a des- perate charge near Acy-eon-Multien; hurled back the forces in front of him, nearly destroying the regiment of Magdeburg: Bayonet charges by the African troops relieved the pres- sure near Mayen-Multien, and to- ward the end of the day the Ger- mans, having lost nearly half of their force, were repulsed all along the line of the army of Parls. The 4th corps of landwehr was signalled com- ing to the relief of von Kluck’'s flank from Bethel. Maunoury’s army was exposed to a decisive attack by fresh At the ceme- | troops.

The troops, most of them, had been with- out food for three days—only the Moors, habituated to fasting, seemed capable of further effort. The Ger- mans seemed equally exhausted, for their attacks weakened with the darkness. The British forces, continuing their | progress, threw von Kluck's center back upon the Marne from Vareddes to Chateau-Thierry; they had gained twenty miles in two days, taking prisoners and booty every hour. After seventeen failures, the British en- gineers succeeded in throwing a bridge across the Marne at Varcddes. | threatening von Kluck’s rear. They | crossed at La-Ferte-sols-Jouarre, at noon in close pursuit. A detachment of cavalry, meeting two squadrons of German cavalry toward Chateau- Thierry, charged through, and charged back again. After travers- ing both squadrons, then charged them again in front. Von Kluck’s en- tire army was now in full retreat, abandoning wounded and material and losing prisoners. The British forces discovered that von Kluck's troops lacked ammunition for their Mausers: Many cannon and prisoners fell into the hands of the British army during the day. The army of Franchet &' Esperey advanced in unison with the British troops close upon the heels of the enemy, and only the German bat- | teries, posted on the slopes mnorth of Chateau-Thierry, saved the treat from developing into a rout. The German losses on this front exceeded even those of the left. At Esternay they left 8,000 unburied dead after four days fighting. Near Chateau- Thierry they had emptied the reser- voir that supplied Paris with water from the Nesles, filled it with dead and covered the bodies with earth. Foch pushed ahead also with the 7th army after the capture of Mon- dement, throwing the Prussian Guard into the Marshes of Saint-Gond. A stuborn resistance was offered therc in the parts where de- fense works could be organized. Foch | succeeded in taking these works in the rear, driving thousands of the Guard to precipitately from the safe routes that they sank into the slime of the marshes. Several batteries of artillery were lost there and the 7th army took many prisoners. The army of Langle de Cary, pressed by fresh troops brought from Belgium, maintained its positions, while Sarrail repulsed a violent at- tack by Von Heeringen with the 16th corps. As the result of the bloody battles of Dieulouard and Sainte-Genevieve, Nancy was entirely disengaged and the Bavarians retired from Pont-a- Mousson into the Bois Le Petre, and Dubail in the Vosges progressed in the regions of Lineville and Bacca- rat. September 10th. The morning of the 10th General Maunoury was informed of the gen- eral retreat of the armies of von Kluck, von Buelow and von Hausen. Vareddes and Levy-sur-Ourcq, evacu- ated in haste, were found crowded with German wounded . At Etrepilly piles of carbonized bodies were seen and dead and wounded were found in all the ravines and thickets, behind hedges and generally at every spot where the soldier seeks protection. The British troops, continuing their pursuit, took thirteen, more cannon and a few hundred pr&oners and great convays of supplies and ammunition. The army of Franchet d’Esperey, in spite of the fatigue of five days fight- ing ;;Q;er fourteen days retreat, forced its a®™ance and reached the line of Chateau-Thierry-Dormans, taking four cannon, 1,500 prisoners and a con- Nt i toward @ ./ ELGRADE BUKAREST { -, 2 A SOFIA [ ceded to her by Bulgaria. The crux 'of the whole Balkan problem, so far as it concerns the possible participa- tion of the now neutral powers as al- lies of the quadruple entente, is whether Bulgaria shall receive back all or virtualiy all of the fragments of Macedonia that were given to Ser- via and Greece as a result of the in- ter-Balkan war. The boundaries of Macedgnia can be only loosely de- fined, but to the westward it stretches voy of fifty baggage wagans. The losses of von Buelow’s army on this front were nearly equal to von Kluck's. Foch’s 5th army marching on Eper- nay and Chalone-Suf-Marne, took pris- oners and booty and supported the ar- my of Gen. Langle de Cary by attack- ing in flank the forces of the Duke of Wuerttemberg, Langle de Cary en- tered Vitry-le-Francois, which was full of wounded and progressed toward Sermaize. The struggle between the Crown Prince and Sar- rail was still undecided. At Thriau- court Sarrail captured ammunition and on the other side of the Meuse the Germans completed the destruction of the forts of Troyon and attacked Sar- rail’s rear, but were repulsed. They tried to cross the Meuse lower down Saint-Mihiel, but the French 3-inch guns destroyed each bridge as soon as thrown across. The 11th the army of the Duke of ‘Wuerttemberg, vigorously attacked in the center, gave way and retreated in disorder, while the armies of von Kluck, von Buelow and von Hausen took up positions on the line of the Aisne. This was practically the termination of the battle, though the Army of the Crown Prince held its ground until the 12th when it began to retire slowly. The best estimates of the forces en- gaged placed the Germans at 1,275,- 000 and the Allies at 1,125,000. The French are said to have lost 30,000 killed. The Germans left 50,000 dead, while 250,000 wounded of both armies were picked up during and | after the battle by the Allies’ stretch- er bearers. The number of prison- ers taken is still unknown. GERMAN CITIZENSHIP. Berlin, Sept. 6.—The Overseas News Agency savs today: “In an ar- ticle in the Berliner Tageblatt Profes- sor Seligson says .that under recent decisions of the courts, Germans liv- ing in foreign countries do not forfeit German citizenship after ten years, even though they have not registered at a consular office provided they have visited Germany during that time. The ten year period begins anew from the time of a visit to Germany, even though citizenship in another country has been acquired. Only in the case of the United States does the acquisi- tion of citizenship involve loss of Ger- man citizenship. GARDNER IS CHAMP, Detroit, Sept. 6.—Robert A.
