ALLIED ARMIES CONTINUE TO HAVE ADVANTAGE In ‘What Apparently Are the Prelim- inaries of a Great Battle. London, Sept. 9, 9.40 p. m.—The al- lied armies continue to have the ad- vantage, according to French official reports, in what can only be the pre- liminaries of a great battle extending m Meaux, northeast of Paris, to the fortress of Verdun, about 200 miles further east. ‘The Germans, who have brought up reinforcements, are striking at the al- lies' left and center between Mont- mirafl and Vito-le-Francois, a front of from fifty to sixty miles but each time they have been driven back. Reinforcements for Germans. This is not sirprising to military men,_ as the Germans have been com- pelled to advance through the swamps of the Petit Morin, and then over hare uplands to the extremely strong French position on the right. It is their only, chance, however, and it is expected they will strike and strike again. They are bringing their reinforcements down from Cha'ons on the roads lead- ing to Gere-Champenoise, Sommesous and Sompuis, in the face of the French artillery posted on the heights, which give it a great advantage. General Pau Advancing North. neral Pau, who commands the ter of the French army in this district, s reported to be advancing north of Sezanne towards the plateau which commands the center of the whole battlefield. On his left the British force has driven the Germans across the Grand Morin and Petit Morin rivers, towards the Marne itself_ while on the extreme left the French sixth army, advancing from Paris along the Ourcq river, have had fur- ther successes and are threatening General Kluck’s communications, Germans Fail to Cross Rivers. In the east the Germans so far have failed in their attempts to break across the rivers and through the hills of Ar- gonne between Vitry-le-Francois and Verdun on the right wing of the al- Mes. Again, according to the French reports, there has been mno _action against the Grand Couronne of Nan- cy, and in the Vosges and Alsace the situation remains unchanged. Battle Not Yet Won. All this favorable news has cheered the allies, but military critics warn the public that the battle has not yet been won and that there probably will be a week or more of fighting before a decisive result is attained either way. There is a possibility that the Ger- mans are trying to draw the allies into an attack upon the high ground that lies between the Marne and the Aisne, about Rheims and that while it is believed that somie of the edge been takep off the German defen- PR that section and have | e T 1 sive, it is not at all probable that it has all been removed. ~ , General Joffre, the Frenth com- mander-in-chief, however, has won some points.

FIRST BATTLE IN AIR ° OF EUROPEAN WAR Russian Aviator Crashed Into an Aus- trian Airship—Both Machines Col- lapsed, and Both Men Killed. London, Sept. 9, 8:37 p m—Captain Nesteroff, one of the most daring of Russian aviators and the first of his countrymen to loop-the-loop, has sac- rificed his life in a successful at- tempt to destroy an Austrian aero- plane, says a Petrograd despatch to Reuter’s Telegram Company. According to a report from the front Captain Nesteroff was returning from an aerial reconnaissance when he saw an Austrian aeroplane hovering over the Russian forces, presumably with the intention of dropping’ bombs. The Russian aviator immediately changed the direction of his machine and headed straight for that of the Austrian at full speed. and, although he must have known well that victory by such tactics could be gained only at the coast of his own life, he dashed into the Austrian aeroplane. The force of the impact caused the col- lapse of both machires, which planged to the earth, the two aviators meeting instant death. GERMANS BEGINNING A MOVEMENT OF RETREAT. Seem to Experience Certain Difficul- ties in Provisioning. Bordeaux, via London, Sept. 9, 11:45 p. ne—The following official commun- ication was made here at three o'clock this afternoon: “On the whole Ger- mans appear to be beginning a move- ment of retreat. “The stragetic position of the French troops is improving, but one cannot judge of a battle extending over:100 kilometres (about 63 miles.) “The Germans seem to experience certain difficulties in provisioning. “In general the French troops seem to be gaining the advantage. GERMANS FAIL TO BREAK FRENCH LINES. British Army Has Crossed the Marne —Foe Falling Back. Bordeaux, Sept. 9., 10:45 p. m.—The following official announcement was issued tonight: “On the left wing all the German attempts to break the French lines on the right bank of the Ourcq River have failed. We have taken two standards. “The British army has crossed the Marne and the enemy has fallen back about forty kilometres (25 miles.) “On the centre and right wing there is no notable e AMERICAN GIRL WITNESSED BURNING OF LOUVAIN Saw Two German Solliers Maltreat and Kill Several Girls. , oy London, Sept. 9, 8:20 p. m.—Margu- erite Usttebroick, a sixteen year old American girl from Millersville, Ilis., arrived in London today after an ad- venturous trip from Louvain the burn- ing of which she witn The girl, was visiting Flemish rel- atives near Louvain when the village where her relatives lived was burned. They went into Louvain. She said that the first sign of trouble was when two German soldiers maltreated and killed several girls. These soldiers were promptly shot by their own of- ficers but the feeling of the populace against the invaders had grown very intense. ‘The German soldiers according to Miss Usttebroick, made no secret of their determination to make ‘the Bel- gians suffer for the indignities which they claimed the German _residents had suffered at the hands of the Bel- glans at the outbreak of the war. The girl described the destruction of TLouvain and the terrible firing in the streets that continued for two. days as a sight that had been burned into her memory. Her father and a 15 year old brother who were also in Louvain disappeared and she believed that they had been made prisoners by the Ger- mans, Seeking to locate, them, Miss Usttebroick made her way into Ger+ many on a German prison train that was loaded with British and Belgian captives. She was unable to find ‘her relatives Ul? apoealed to the Ameri- can consuls in various cities. = The in- vestigations of the consuls satisfied them that the father and brother were held at some concentration camp. The girl then made a difficult trip to Cpologne, where she met her aged mother ard brought her with her to London. Mother and daughter are now being aided by the American re- lief committee. « v 60,000 BELGIAN REFUGEES EXPECTED IN ENGLAND. British Government Extended Invita- tion to All. Homeless Beigians.

X Six temporary depots have been es- tablished in London where over 3,000 Belgians will be sheltered and fed un- til they are placed in the homes of| charitable English families. Homes have already been offered for 10,000 Belglans, and the committee is arrang- ing. to send refugees direct from Folkestone to Birmingham,- Liverpool and _other cities, where refuge awaits them, and the people of all classes are eager to make them comfortable. Scotch and Welsh towns are espe- cially anxious to entertain the Bel- glans, and the committee belleves it <an make provision for a million refu- gees If necessary. Sanitary condi- tions and lack of food in the Belgian territory fought over and a probable attack on ‘Antwerp will doubtless make it necessary for hundreds of thousands of women and children to leave that country. a5 war to‘ecome NEUTRALITY STATUS OF RED CROSS STEAMER Her Commander Has Placed Problem Before Secretary Bryan. New York, Sept. 9.—The question raised by the British and French governments regarding the neutrality status of the steampship Red Cross if she carries Germans among her crew when she sails with surgeons, nurses and Supplies for the battle- fields of Europe, has delayed appar- ently indefinitely the departure of the ship.

Mr, King in reply said that if it shown that Fairfield county was for Mr. Light he ‘thought Mr. Banks would withdraw. A motion to have the towns called was carried and the result was that Mr. Banks got 21 votes, Mr. Light 10, and. 22 did not vote or answer to their names. Then it was suggested that a délegate be named to present Mr. Banks' namc,- and it was also agreed that anyone who chose could present Mr. Light’s name as well. After the caucus Fairfield county delegates explained trat many of ‘them sup- ported Mr. Banks on the ground that it has not been customary to renorh- inate for attorney general, and an ap- peal would be made to the convention tomorrow on this ground. As Fairfield cmty had a candidate other than Mr. Light, the caucus was suggested to claim recognition of Fairfield county on the state ticket without breaking the custum of giving no renomination for attorney general. The caucus was the center of interest for scores of del- egates from other counties.
