Military Experts Are of Opinion That is Plan Contemplated. Bordeaux, Sept. 13, 3.15 p. m.—If the German armies are still in a condition to offer resistance they will, in the opinion of well informed ekperts, do 0 along the line extending from Per- onne through St. Quentin and Mezieres to Ardennes. The only army not fall- back is that of Crown Prince Fred- William, south of the Forest of Argonne. 5 It is probable, according to the ex- perts, that the crown prince has been unable to find a safe line of retreat. The Argonne district is a difficult mountainous _region, without roads, and the crown prince would be com- pelled either to move northeast or northwest. In the first case, it is de- clared he would be attacked from Ver- dun, while the econd would throw him with the Duke of Wuerttemburg's army, which would involve both armies ix_confusion. The experts therefore are of the opiuion that it is most probable that the crown prince, if he is forced to re- tire, will attempt to break through castward between Verdun and Soilly.

New Haven, Conn., Sept. 13—Marine circies in New Haven and vicinity were agitated for several hours tonight over the report of a vessel supposed to Nish, Servia, via London, Sept. 13, 10:10\p. m.—It is announced that the Servian offensive continues successful Servian troops have crossed the Save at several points and it is said that the Servians are being received enthusiastically by the population of Hungary. A semi-official statement reviewing the operations against Austria since the outbreak of the war makes no mention of the capture of Semlin, be- fore reported, but sald: Austrian Trrops Sent East. “The Austrian have sent all their troops to the east to stem the ad- yance of the enormous Russian wave. The small total force which it -has at its disposal aiready augers fresh suc- cesses for us. If by a miracle Austrie escapes the castrophe by whih it is menaced, it will be little Servia that has dealt the severest blow to Iits nrestige” The statement asserts that in Au- sust. Austria threw one third of its total force of 350,000 men against Ser- via—200 000 of these at the weakest point along the frontier, on the Save and Drina from Ljubova to Shabatz. After sanguinary fighting, the tide turned on August 19, the Austrians be- ing completely beaten and pursued along the whole line. Austrian Losses'Are Heavy. “The enemy’s only thought” con- tinues the statement, “was of reaching as quickly as possible the bridges it had thrown across the Drina, not even thinking of destroying them complete- ly after their passage. The enormous losses of the enemy were due to the massed formation of the Austrians. They had 104000 killed; 6,000 of these fell at River Tser. 2000 Wounded Left on Field. “ In one small village 600 bodies were buried.

KAISER UNABLE TO HELP AUSTRIAN ARMY Needs All His Forces to Combat the Advancing Allies. London, Sept. 18, 9.55 p. m.—A Reu- ter despatch from Rome says: “News from the Austrian frontier describes even in darker colors the situation of the Austrian army, especially since Germany has notified her ally that she is unable to send any more reinforce- ments into Galicia owing to the graver conditions on the western front. “It is even asserted that the Ger- man contingents which reached Gro- dek to help the Austrians may be re- called to Germany as Germany wishes to center all her efforts against the al- les.” WOUNDED GERMAN PRIVATE HAD 50 POCKETBOOKS Besides a String of Pearls and Many Small Artioles of Jewetry.
