PARIS. Aug. 30. "The progress of
the German right wing has obliged
us to yield ground on our left," says
an official statement issued here to
night. "According to Liberte, the Germans
have penetrated a short distance far
ther on the river Somme.
"The British. In conjunction with the
French left, have resumed a vigorous
offensive. Farther west the rrencn

of the line, on the Meuse, the French
are offering a strenuous and success

" "Our offensive movement succeeded
on our right, but was checked on our
left. The Germans gained ground, as
announced, toward La Fere. At any
rate, we hold firm even under attack
a sure sign of the confidence of our
army."
General La Croix, co-commander-in-chief
of the French army, considers
that the Germans are taking great
risks In lengthening their lines of
communication.
"One step gained by them in France
Is a step lost by them against Russia,"
he said. "My feeling Is that the Ger
man advance must soon come to an
end."
General La Croix, who is military
ditor of the Temps, takes a hopeful
view of the situation, saying:
"The Germans continue their turning-
movement on their right. We
have replied by assuming the offensive
at Xovion Porcien and at Guise. The
result Is indecisive In the first direc
tion, but our attack will be resumed."

Louisville. Ky.
"A certain Protestant clergyman of
Hanover," said Mr. Miller, "addressing
a large congregation on the morning
following mobilization, said, among
other things:
" TVe are face to face with a pe
culiar situation. No doubt the Rus
sians, French and English will pray
God to give them victory, but there
Is but one God and since he Is Just
and Impartial and they are also his
children, we, in order to win, must
work as well as pray. We must fight
harder than the others. God may not
always side with big guns, but big
guns will certainly help him make a
right decision.'"

FOE'S LOSS MUCH HEAVIER
Sir John French Says Attackers
Have Paid Extreme Price for
Every Gain Many Speared
In Flight by Cavalry.
LONDON, Aug. 30. After four days
of desperate fighting, with casualties
between 5000 and 8000, the British army
France is rested and ready for the
next great battle, according to an
nouncements today by Lord Kitchener,
Secretary of State for War. In a state
ment based on a report of Sir John
French, commander-in-chief of the
British expeditionary force, the Secre
tary says that the British, after strug
gling against tremendous odds, retired
to a new line of defense, where they
have not been molested since Thursday.
Since this fighting ceased, the French
on the right and left have brought the
German attack to a standstill, it is de
clared. British share Related.
Lord Kitchener's statement, which
was Issued through the medium of the
official Information bureau, follows:
"Although the dispatches of Sir John
French as to the recent battle have not
yet been received, it is possible now to
state what has been the British share
In the recent operations.
"There has in fact been a four-day
battle on August 23, 24, 25 and 26.
During the whole of this period the
British, 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 Hons on Sunday,
during which day and part of the night
the German attack, which was stub
bornly pressed and repeated, was com
pletely checked by the British front.
Heavy Losses Inflicted.
"On Monday, the 24th, the Germans
made vigorous efforts In superior num
bers to prevent the safe withdrawal of
the British army and to drive it into
the fortress of Maubeuge.
"This effort was frustrated by the
steadiness and skill with which the
British retirement was conducted, and,
as on the previous day, heavy losses,

Sunday's War Moves
FROM all the farspread battlo lines
only bulletins of Napoleonic brev
ity have come in the last 24 hours.
History is being made on three great
fields of action along 250 miles of
French frontier, on 200 miles of the
Austro-Hungarian border and through
a wide area of Eastern Prussia.
Silence has covered Austria's war
with Servla for several days, but that
has become a minor detail of the death
struggle of the European powers.
From Northern France the news ap
pears to follow events by three or four
days. The French Embassy announces
that there has been hard fighting on
the right wing of Its northern army
near Mezleres since Friday, and also
that the German forces are making
progress In the La Fere district, which
apparently means that the French left
wing has retired somewhat further,
but it Is not revealed how near the
Germans have approached to La Fere
fortress.
The British reports issued Sunday
show that the British army alone no
longer constitutes the left wing of the
allied forces, but that the French have
reinforced them on the west. It fur
ther says that the French nave ueeu
fighting both east and west of tleem
and have brought the Germans to a
standstill for a time.
The Germans are believed to be
forging another steam hammer for a
heavy blow, and Great Britain anxious
ly awaits word of a great oaiwo m
which her army may be a focal point.
How far the Uhlans have spread Into
French territory it Is impossible to
learn from the many reports fugitives
have brought In. but a rich country,
with Important manufacturing cities Is
evidently In their grasp.
From Holland and Belgium circum
stantial reports have been received In
London that the Germans are moving
part of their army by trains back from
Belgium. Apparently these troops are
destined to meet the Russians, and If
the reports are true It may mean that
the Germans feel strong enough on
the French frontier to spare part of
their force or that they consider the
repulse of the Russian Invasion more
important than throwing a great army
into France.
The British people find cheer in the
exploit of their navy, which sank three
German cruisers and two destroyers In
a daring dash under cover of fog Into
the zone of lire of the Heligoland forts,
and Inflicted a loss of nearly '.'00 men
on the German fleet at a cost of 29
lives and a total of 38 wounded, and
damage to three British warships which
..iii v. a i within ten days. The
London report Indicates that the Ger
m.n were lured out to the attack.
The German version minimizes the 1m
portance of the engagement, which It
refers to as an attack on a few German
vessels by a large section of the British
navy. In any event, Berlin holds that
no Important Issue of the war has been
settled. The British view Is that It
shows that the Germans are unable to
release any of their warships to prey-
on commerce.
Earl Kitchener, the British Secretary
for War, gives in detail the part played
by troops In the operations in Belgium
and France. These operations exienona
from August 23 to August 28, and the
British losses numbered In the neigh
borhood of 6000. The condition and
spirit of the British troops at the front
are descrioea as ansni h
forcements have been sent up to more
than fill the gaps created by casualties.
The effect of the report In Britain Is
said to have been good, In that It cor
rects an impression given by returning
wounded soldiers that the British ex
pedition had met with disaster and was
demoralized and cut off from its base.
The report indicates that the British
losses were suffered not because of any
fault of morale, but because apparently
the Germans did them the honor of
massing an overwhelming force against
them. Under this pressure the. rela
tively small British force, says Lord
Kitchener, was crumpled up. The Ger
mans are described as making a lavish
expenditure of men to insure success at
this point.
Another raid by German aircraft re
sulted In the dropping of several bombs
into the city of Paris. This, It Is likely,
was done for moral effect largely,
since the damage done was Immaterial.
It would Intensify the Idea of proxim
ity to the French capital In the minds
of those outside the battle lines. The
aviator did not confine himself to ex
plosives. He dropped messages saying
the Germans were at the city's gates
and that further resistance was use
less. Paris is preparing for a siege should
the lines opposing the Germans be
broken. Enormous stocks of food have
been placed In the state warehouse and
sheep and cattle in large numbers have
been herded In the Bols de Boulogne.
Tho Russian front is the scene of
events of the greatest magnitude, but
between the claims and counter-claims
of the belligerents, there Is such a
vital difference It Is Impossible to form
an estimate ot which way the balance
swings.

LONDON, Aug. 30. (Special. ) I left
Brussels Thursday afternoon, and have
Just arrived In London. For two hours
on Thursduy night 1 was in what for
600 years has been the City of Louvaln.
The Germans were burning It. and
to hide their work kept us locked In
the railroad carriages. But the story
was written against the sky. was told
to us by German soldiers Incoherent
with excess, and we could real It In

Destruction Is Thorouah.
On Wednesday the Germans sen
tenced Louvaln to become a wilderness,
and with German system and love of
thoroughness left louvaln as empty
as a blackened shell. The reason for
this appeal to the torch and the exe
cution of non-combatants ss given to
me Thursday by General von Ltitwltr,
Military Governor of Brussels, was tbls:
On Wednesday, while the Gsiman mill
tary commander Of the troops In Lou
valn was at the Hotel de Villa talking
to the Burgomaster, the son of the
Burgomaster, with an Htuaillfl pistol.
shot the chief of staff and a Germsn
staff surgeon.
Von Lutwilz says this was signal
for the civil guard In civilian cloth s
on roofs to lire on the German soldiers
in the upon square below. He said
also that the Belgians had qulrk-flrlng
guns brought from Antwerp. As for a
week the Germans have occupied Lou
valn and closely guarded all the ap
proaches, to say that there was any
gun-running Is absurd.
nrma Loss Is Avrnaed.
Fifty 'Germans were killed and
wounded. For that, said Von Lut
wltz. Louvaln roust he wiped out. In
pantomime, with his list he swept the
papers across his table.
The Hotel de Ville." he aded. "Is a
beautiful building; It Is a pity It must
be destroyed."
Ten days ago I was In Iouvaln when
It was occupied by the Belgian troops
and King Albert and his staff. The
city dates from the 11th century ami
the population was 42.000. The rltlxens
were brewers, lacemakers and manu
facturers of garments for churches.
Its university once was the most cele
brated In European cities and still Is.
or still was, the headquarters of the
Jesuits. In their Louvaln colleges
many priests In America have been ed
ucated and ten days ago over the great
yellow walls of the college I saw hang

I found the city clean, sleepy and
pretty, with narrow twisting streets.
smart shops, cafes set in flower gar
dens, houses with red roofs, grrcn
shutters and white walls. Over thosn
that faced south have been trained
pear trees and their hranchos, heavy
with fruit, spread out against tho
walls like branches of candelabra.
The town hall was a very old and
very beautiful example of Gothic ar
chitecture, In detail and design more
celebrated even than the town halls of
Bruges or Brussels. It was 100 years
old and lately had been repaired with
great tasto and at great cost. Oppo
site was the Church of 8t. Pierre, dat
ing from tho 15th century, a noble
building with many chapels filled with
carvings of the time of the Renais
sance In wood, stone and Iron. In the
university were 150.000 volumes. Near
it was a bronze statue of Father Da
mien, the priest of the leper colony In
the South Pacific of whom Robert
Louis Stevenson wrote. All these,
buildings now arc as empty as explod
ed cartridges. Statues, pictures, carv
Ings, parchments, archives are all
