Allies Fall Back
Towards South
Paris Soon to Be Pivot of Conflict With Ger
mans—Official Report of One Sentence Says:
Battle in Progress Along Almost Whole Line
London, 1:10 a. m.—Tho battle to
decide whether history will repeat it
self in a. second siege of Paris is still
in progress, according to latest of
ficial announcement.
Future military historians will write
volumes of tlie details of this battle
but all tho British public knows of
ficially concerning the Titanic strug
gle-—Hie most momentous British sol
diers have fought since Waterloo —is
contained in one sentence of an offic
ial report issue'd last night try the
press bureau:
Ona Sentence.
‘‘Continuous fighting has been tn
progress along almost the whole line
of bat t ie."
To this the French communication
adds the fact Unit tho allied forces
have fallen back toward the south
west to avoid an action under unfav
orable conditions. How far and to
what line the allies have gone is un
known.
In spite of the fact that, the French
capital has been removed to Bor
deaux and that the German army of
the west is within thirty miles of the
outer fortifications of Paris, a strange
air of confidence prevails today among
the allies. The general feeling seems
to he that the German attack is wear
ing itself out in hammering away at
tile allied lines which give lull do not
break.
Experts Agree.
Military experts agree Hint Paris
will soon lie the pivot of tho hostile
forces operating In the area of the
west. Even the downfall of the
Flench capital is not expected to end
these operations.
The feeling of the confidence was
greatly Increased by the news of tho
great Russian victory in Galicia, lte
porls from Petrograd (St. Peters
burg) tell of tho entry of Russians in
to Lemberg, the capital of Galicia.
These appear credible, as news of tho
defeat of the Austrians in that dis
trict has been received from several
sources.
In Oita Valley.
In the west the line now held by tho
left flank of the allied armies In the
valley of the Oise runs diagonally
from a point northeast of Paris to
Compelgne and thence through Noyon
(14 miles northeast by north of Com
pelgno) to Lafere.
Lafere, one of the weaker of tho
French fortresses evidently I In tho
hand* of the Germans. Farther east
and north the allied armies apparent
ly hold their own In the neighborhood
of Laon and Rethel (24 miles north
east of Khelms). The right of the
allies rests on the fortified Frnnro-
German frontier.
Officers Heavy Loss.
The heavy loss of English officers
In proportion to (he men (s the story
of Mouth Africa, over again. It Indi
cates that the officers refused to take
cover, as they Insist that the men
shall.
The west const of Relgium and tho
west coast of northern France are
free from Germans.
Apparently the Kaiser's armies have
abandoned that section to pour all
their forces toward Paris. Reports
that they are preparing to attack Ant - ,
werp are not believed.

Phenomenal Rush of British
Recruits—Far Reaching Ef
fect of Lemberg’s Occupation
By Russians
.. - ■■ Lm
London.—The decision of the French
government to withdraw from Parts
is regarded here as being wise as It Is
painful. >9
To retain Parts an a center of the
government would, it In held, be In
compatible with the supreme necessi
ties of France at the present moment.
These are to keep the government free
to act and to keep the army an un
broken force which neither can be cap
tured In detail nor shut up In the fort
resses.
In East Europe.
Russian occupation of Lemberg may
have a far reaching effect on the cam
paign In Eastern Europe apart alto
gether from the loss of Austrian pres
tige. More than three-quarters of the
population of the city are Poles and
the Russians anticipate that their en
try will contribute toward the hoped
for Polish uprising against Germany.
This uprising Emperor Nicholas con
templated when he irromtsed autonomy
to a united Polish kingdom.
Tho rush of recruits for the British
army Is phenomenal. No fewer than
50,000 men have Joined Lord Kitch
ener's second army in the past few
days.
