After four days of desperate flght i. .. the British Army in France Is rested, fitted and reinforced for the near great battle, according to an an nouncement today by Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State for War. In a statement based on reports from Sir John French, commander of the British expeditionary forces, the Secretary says that the British, after struggling against tremendous odds, retired to a new line of defense where they have not been molested since Thursday. Their casualties are be tween 5,000 and 6,000. Since this fighting ceased the French on the right and left have brought the Ger man attack to a standstill, it is de clared. Lord Kitchener's statement which was issued through the official infor mation bureau, follows: 'Although dispatches of Sir John French as to the recent battle have not been received, it is possible now to state what has been the British share in the recent operations. There has been a four days' battle on the twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty fifth and twenty-sixth of August. Dur ing the whole of this peribd the Brit ish, in conformity with a general movement of the French armies, were occupied in resisting and checking the German advance and in withdrawing to new lines of defense. The battle began at Mons Sunday, during which day and part of the night the German attack, stubbornly pressed and re peated, was completely checked by the French front. On Monday, the twenty - fourth, the germana made great effort in superior numbers to prevent the safe withdrawal of the British Army and to drive it into the fortress of Maubeuge. TEUTONS MASSED. "This effort was frustrated by the steadiness and skill with which the British retirement was conducted and as on the previous day losses far in excess of anything suffered by us were inflicted on the enemy, who In dense formation and its enormous masses marched forward again and yet again to storm the British lines. "The British retirement proceeded on the twenty-fourth with continuous fighting, though not on the scale of the previous two days and by the night of the twenty-fifth, the British army occupied the line of Cambrai, Landrecles and Lecateau. (Cambrai is a fortified town in the Department of the North, 32 miles southeast of Lille on the River Scheldt. Lacateau Is 14 miles east by southeast of Cam brai.) It had been Intended to re sume the retirement at daybreak on the twenty-sixth, but the German at tack, in which no less than five army corps were engaged, was so close and fierce that it was not possible to carry out this Intention until the afternoon. "The battle on this day, the twenty-fifth, offered a superb and stub born resistance to tremendous odds and at length extricated themselves in good order with serious loss and under the heaviest artillery fire. No guns were taken by the enemy, ex cept those the horses of which had been killed, or which were shattered by high explosive shells. "General French estimated that during the whole of these operations from the twenty-third to the twenty sixth, inclusive, his losses amounted to five to six thousand men. On the other hand, the losses suffered by the Germans in their attacks across the open, and through their dense formation are out of all proportion to those we suffered. 1 "In Landrecies alone, ofc the twenty-fifth, a German infantry brigade advanced In close order into a nar row street and our machine guns were brought to bear on this target from the end of the town. The head of the column was swept away. A frightful panic ensued and it is esti mated that 800 or 900 dead and wounded Germans were left In this street alone. Another incident was the charge of the German guard cav alry division, upon the British 12th Cavalry Brigade, when the German cavalry was thrown back with great ; losses. "These are notable examples of what has taken place over the front during these engagements and the Germans have been made to pay the extreme price for every forward step. "Since the twenty-sixth, apart from cavalry fighting, the British army has not been molested. It has rested and refitted after Its glorious achieve ments. "Reinforcements amounting to dou ble the losses sustained, already have joined. Every gun has been replaced and the army Is ready to take part in the next great encounter with un diminished strength and undaunted spirits. "Today the news again is favora ble. The British have not been en gaged, but the French armies, acting vigorously on the right and left, have for the time being, brought the Ger man attack to a standstill. "Sir John French also reports that on the twenty-eighth the British 6th Cavalry Brigade fought In brilliant fashion with German cavalry. In which the Twelfth Lancers and the Royal Scot Greys routed the enemy and speared a large number in flight. "It must be remembered through out that the operations In France are vast and that we are only on one wing of the whole field of battle. This strategic position of ourselves and our allies are such whereas a decis ive victory for our armies in France probably would be fatal to the enemy, THE SIXKIXt; OFUFKMAX SHUN. British Showed SiijMiiority In I lie Fight I'under linns of tioriiinn Fortress and Sank Three Cruisers, London Dispatch, 30th, 10:55 p. m. An official statement issued to night, describing the action between the British and German warships off Helgoland, says: "The principle of the operation was a scouting movement by a strong force of destroyers to cut off the Ger man list craft from home and engage them at leisure In the open sea." After briefly describing the sink ing of three German cruisers the Mainz, Coeln and Ariadne, the state ment continues: "Although only two of the enemy's destroyers were actually observed to sink, most of the other 18 or 20 boats were well punished and only saved themselves by a shattered flight. "The superior gun power and strength of the British destroyers, ship for ship, was demonstrated con clusively. The destroyers themselves did not hesitate to engage the ene my's cruisers, both with guns and torpedoes, and two of them got knocked about in the process. "Intercepted German signals and other information from German sources confirms the report of Ad miral Beatty as to the sinking cf the third German cruiser, which now appears to have been the Ariadne. "The British destroyers exposed themselves to considerable risk in endeavoring to save as many as pos sible of the German sailors. "British officers present vouch for the fact that the German officers were seen firing at their own men in the water with pistols and that sev eral were shot before their eyes. "Under these peculiar circum stances a destroyer was actually picking up wounded with her boats when she was driven off by the ap proach of another German cruiser and had to leave two of her boats containing one officer and nine men behind. It was feared these would be made prisoners but happily a submarine arrived and brought the British party home. "As it was Impossible to accom modate the 30 Germans in the sub marine they were allowed to return home in the boat in charge of a lieu tenant. "The complements of the five Ger man vessels known to have been sunk aggregated about 1,200 officers and men, all of whom, with the ex ception of those 30, and 300 persons wounded and otherwise perished. "Besides this, there was the loss aboard the German torpedo boats and other cruisers which did not sink during the action. "The First Lord of the Admiralty has telegraphed the American Am bassador at Berlin desiring him to inform Admiral Von Tirpitz the Ger man Minister of Marine, that his son had been saved and had not been wounded. Telephone Girl Acted Like a Veteran. During the bombardment of the French town of Etain by the Germans last week, a French telephone girl was the hero of the occasion. The second bombardment set the town on fire, and many people are said to have perished In the flames. The telephone service of Etain was left in the hands of a young girl, who stuck to her post while shells were bursting all around the telephone of fice and who called up Verdon every 15 minutes to give an account of what was goin on. The director of posts at Verdon was listening to a message being sent by this girl when suddenly rhe inter rupted her communication to say: "A bomb has just fallen in the of fice." This was the last message Verdon received from the plucky girl. Could Stop War By Shutting Off the Feed. Testifying at the New York Fed eral district attorney's investigation of the increase in prices, James Ward Warner, president of the New York Produce Exchange, and Geo. Zabrinski, resident manager for Minneapolis flour manufacturers, each said the end of the war abroad must result If America ceased ex porting to the belligerent nations. There Is a big demand for flour In foreign countries, according to these witnesses, with a heavy demand, too in domestic markets. Mr. Zabrinski said there is a shortage of 400.000, 000 bushels in the Russian wheat crop. He declared the United States could dispose of Its entire flour out put to France, England, Greece and Turkey at any reasonable price and receive payment In gold before the staple was but aboard steamships. Not only would war In Europe end if an embargo was placed on Amer ican products, Mr. Zabrinski and Mr. Warner agreed, but normal markets would be established at home and the prices here go down. Hoity-toity Is another word that has gone out of use, and there is no occasion to worry about It. Atchison Globe. The vote cast by the Progressive party In the Ohio primaries looks like a censored European war news telegram. Wheeling Intelligencer. a continuance of resistance by the Anglo-French armies upon such a scale as to keep in the closest grip the ene my's best troops, can, if prolonged, lead only to one conclusion." GERMAN FORCES PRESS ON KXGI.ISH XD FIIKXCH FKiHT Ml imoKXI.Y. "Take Pari or DiM is the Order of the KaiM-r to Fiery fiennan Sol dier ;cnnnns Now Inside of the French Territory and llefendors lime Fallon Hack on Their First Line of Fort ill, m Ions Capital of France May He Moved From Paris in Anticipation of Seise. ' There is no doubt that the English and French armies, whivh are gradu ally being pushed bark into France after the most stubborn fighting, are putting up as brave a front as an in vaded country ever offered. It is equally certain that unless the Rus sians succeed in getting large armies quickly Into Germany on the other side, the German fighting machine will soon roll into Paris. It is said that the French, in anticipation of this, are preparing to move their seat of government further south to Bor deaux. As near as can be guessed the Germans are now pressing on the first line of fortifications that have been created for the defence of Paris. This runs from Calais on the English channel to BHfort near the Switzer land line. When the Germans cross this line of fort they will be con fronted by another line, the fecond defense of Paris, which line is 123 miles from Paris. While the general belief is that if they are given the time by the Russians on their west ern border they will go into Paris, the hope of the Allies is to hold out and make their progress so slow that they will eventually have to withdraw their armies to meet the Russians. The Germans seem to be confident that they can whip all their enemies on land. Teutons Make Daily Advances To- ward Capital of France. London Dispatch, 31st, 4:45 p. m. Taken at is face value the French official announcement issued late to day, which mentions that the prog ress of the German right wing has forcer the allies to yield further ground, would seem to indicate that the Germans, notwithstanding re pulses, are making daily advancing toward Paris. The statement Sunday of Field Marshal Sir John French, command er of the. British forces, however, spoke of fighting on the French left, but th's, according to one report, re sulted In the German right being slightly turned. The Austrian Invasion of Russia in the Lubin district, which aroused the apprehension of the allies, has, if Russian dispatches are to be relied on, been blocked and the Muscovites claim to have turned the Russian defensive into an offensive action. There is no confirmation of the re port that the Russians are In Koe nigsburg. If 'silence means that there is nothing doing, Sir John French's statement Sunday that the French had not been molested since Wednesday still holds good. Nothing is known by the public of any fight ing either in East or Northern France. From Canada, India, Australia and Pou'h Africa the British Army front will soon receive large reinforce ments. Some of these troops are re ported already to have landed In France. Indeed the recruiting fever has not abated. At Liverpool today a batta lion of a thousand business men was filled within an hour and there was such an overflow that it was decided to enroll a Second Battalion. The British Government has start ed negotiations, through the Ameri can consul at Berlin, for an exchange with Germany and Austria of non combatant prisono"s. Dropped Itoiuh on Paris. London Aug. 30. 11:53 p.m. A Taris dispatch to the Exchange Tele graph Company says: "A German aviator flew over Paris this afternoon and dropped five bombs, which fell in the most popu lar quarter of the city. In one case two women were wounded. "One bomb fell in front ef the shop of a baker and wine merchant at Rue Albuy and Rue des Vlna! griers; two on Qual de Valmy, one of which did not explode, while the other struck the walls of the Night Refuge, behind St. Martin's Hospi tal. Two others dropped in the Rue des Recoliets and Rue Marcin, neither of which exploded. Apologies Due. New York Sun. If Genreal Sherman were alive, he would have apologies to hell. He was unjust to that amiable region. The war of his time was but an inno cent harmless killing game. It has grown to that aerial triumph of Ger man culture over Antwerp. To murder wantonly and futrilely, to slay or mangle little children and young mothers in their beds, to sa lute the Red Cross flag with a bomb, to slaughter and terrorize non-combatants, random destruction with no military results, with no permanent result except to sicken and anger all civilized mankind: this Is war as practiced on a city from Zeppelin air ships. Every nation which sti'l believe? that something of humanity should be maintained in Ihe usages of warfare should raise its voice against this archdeed of pitiless ravagery against the repetition of such syn?c:Ies. and nnforgivible blind massacre. AMERICAN SHUN ItOAI'.DF.D. I'.ritMi War Vessels in 4'hinee Wa ters Overhauled Them and Took off tiermans and Austrian. Honolulu Dispatch, August 31. The American liners Manchuria and China of the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company's Oriental fleet, were halted by British warships o(T Hong Kong and forced to surrender sixty German and Austrian reservists who were bound for the European war from the Phillippines. This was the news brought by Captain Thompson and Purser Landers of the China, which arrived here today from San Francisco. According to officers of the China, the Germans and Austrians before starting on their journey, asked for and received assurance from Wash ington that they would not be mo lested on an American registered ves sel. Then they took passage from San Francisco via Hong Kong.Shang liai. Nagasaki and Honolula. On arriving at Hong Kong, the vessels were halted by ships of the British fleet, the passengers were summoned for inspection and requir ed to give their nationality at the call of the purser's roll. Those who ap peared to be Germans or Austrians and could not prove otherwise were taken to Stone Cutters Island for de tention. Two Germans aboard the China claimed Swiss citizenship and were not held. All the German res idents of Hong Kona; have been held, Captain Thompson reports. Manila newspapers of August 8, arriving here, confirm the captain's story. WASHINGTON RETICENT. Washington Dispatch, August 31. State Department officials did not regard as unusual the reported re moval of German and Austrian re servists from American ships oil Hong Kong, provided the incident oc curred within the three-mile limit of the British port. In as much as Hong Kong is under British Jurisdiction her war ships could arrest the na tionals of any billigerent within ter ritorial waters. What might be the opinion of the American Government if the re servists were taken from American vessels on the high seas is undeter mined. State Department officials said tonight no. complaint of that character had been placed before them. The right of search for con traband cargoes on the high seas is accorded by all nations to belligerent ships; but the right to take a passen ger from a neutral ship on the high seas long has been In dispute and no official of the department was willing to express an opinion. BOARDED ALL VESSELS. Honolulu Dispatch, Aug. 3st. Officers of the Pacific Mail liner China, which arrived here today en route to San Francisco from the Ori ent, report British warships off Hong Kong are boarding all vessels Includ ing those under the American flag and removing Germans and Austrians bound for the scene of hostilities. According to the officers of the China, both the Manchuri of the same line, which also (lies the Amer ican flag, and the China were board ed. From the Manchuri 60 reserv ists were taken to Stone Cutters Is land. Two passengers on board the China who claimed Swiss citizenship were released. Steamers Ari ivini; with Tourists. New York Dispatch, 31st. The Anchor Line steamer Colum bia arrived today from Glassgow and Moville with 833 passengers, all of whom, except 4 5 in the steerage, were Americans who had been delay ed in returning home from Europe. The steamer San Giovanni from Na ples with 677 American refugees from Italy and Switzerland also ar rived today. The Atlantic transport line steam er Minnehaha reached New York this afternoon from London with 166 passengers. Early this morning off Nantucket a cruiser was sighted. The warship bore down on the Minnehaha which had no thought of escape but decided to continue unless ordered to stop. The cruiser Hashed signal lights, asking: "Who are you?" "Who are you?" the Minnehaha's captain demanded in return. "That is none of your affair," the warship retorted. "Give me your name and destination." The Minnehaha compiled and presently the cruiser steamed away. Passengers on the Minnehaha in cluded Bishop Luther B. Wilson of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city. Bishop Wilson, who was accompanied by his wife and daugh ter was a delegate to the Interna tional Peace Conference which was to have been held In Constance, Switzerland. Bishop Wilson said a representa tive of the German Emperor arrived In Constance on August 1 and told the delegates he had the authority of the Emperor to say it would be well for them to depart before August 3. The delegates immediately started for their homes. Some of them were without sufficient money to pay their hotel bills and fare to London owing to the non-arrival of the clergyman who had their expense money. Bishop Wilson said. Those who had a sur plus of funds placed it with the little money the ones in difficulty possess ed and all the hotels bills were paid. The balance of the money, however, would not pay for railroad tickets, it was found. The hotel proprietor re lieved the situation by refunding some of the money and the delegates ma t itoi M kix;.
