Berlin, Sept. 17.—(Wireless by way
of Sayvllle, L. I.—German prospects in
the Marne region are I still character
ised In Berlin as favorable.
The general staff has authorised the
announcement that nowhere along the
line of battle have the British and
French forces won a victory.
No details of the fighting in France
are given out, and It is said no de
cisive turn of events seems probable
for some time to coma.
According to documents found on
Russian prisoners the commander of
tho Russian army at Vilna, whose de
feat was announced yesterday, has
moved southward tc tbe Vistula river.
Destroyed HospItaL
According to an official report
French troops in the fighting which
took place on the 25th of August at
tacked and destroyed a .German field
hospital, killing physicians,
and wounded soldiers.
Attention Is called here to the rap
idity with which the Siberian troops of
Russia have appeared on the Europe
an field. Portions of the third army
corps, which was defeated at L-yck, In
East Prussia came from Iskutsk; con
sequently (heir mobilisation and trans
portation must have been extraordi
narily rapid as Ifkutsk Is In Eastern
Siberia.
Military experts here are scarcely
able to believe that such a troop move
ment has been possible In the six
weeks since the publication of the
Russian order of mobilisation.
Resign from Service,
According to the dispatches receiv
ed here the British naval commission
at Constantinople today resigned from
the Turkish service. Fifty two pieces
of artillery captured from the British,
have arilved at Hamburg.
The rumora In circulation that up
per Siberia is threatened by a Russian
Invasion are declared to be without
foundation.
The attempts of ths Ruslans ,ln
