Extended Sortie Made.
LONDON, Sept. 12. An Oatend dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany says:
The Belgian 'troops have Just gained
an important success at Oortenberg, be
tween Louvain and Brussels, cutting up
a German corps and taking several
prisoners. The line toward Liege has
been occupied by the Belgians."
It Is asserted that after the recent
battle at Termonde the Belgians burled
1239 Germans. The enemy suffered
greatly at the hands of the .Belgian ar
tillery. Cannonading was heard to
day in the direction of Courtrai and
YVaereghem.
Germans are said to have been seen
laying mines under Belgian roads
which the allies may take wmie ioiiow
Jng the retreating German forces.
Victory Regarded an Important.
The Belgian victor at Oortenberg is
regarded as especially important, as the
German army occupying Belgium hat
been cut in two sections as a result of
it. The victory was due in great part
to artillery of heavy caliber, which was
used for the first time there.
The Belgian legation announced to
day that the Belgians had again taken
the offensive, which was being pushed
satisfactorily. An extended sortie was
made on September 10 and the Ger
mans everywhere were forced to re
tire. Malines and Aerschot were re
taken. The Belgian legation said Bel
gians had destroyed the railway be
tween Louvain and Tirlemont thus cut
ting off the German communications be
tween Brussels and Liege.
Belxintts Keoccupy Ghent.
A dispatch to the Central News from
Amsterdam says:
"According to a Ghent dispatch to
the Belgian government, having op
posed the delivery of the army neces
saries requisitioned by the Germans, a
Belgian force has again occupied Ghent.
The necessaries which had already been
prepared were not delivered."
The Antwerp correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph sends the following:
"A courier brings news of fighting
at the Hofstade, near Malines. King
Albert motored out and participated
In the general engagement, which is
apparently going well.
"The German artillery ngurea con
siderably, but the Belgian infantry,
well supported by guns, gradually
forced the Germans back."
Battle to Be Resumed Today.
The Antwerp correspondent of the
Exchange Telegraph Company, in a
dispatch dated Saturday, says:
"Fighting continued south of Ant
wem. To the left our division was
obliged to give way before the enemy's
offensive. In the center ana on uie
right wing we made good progress.
The battle will be resumed tomorrow
(Sunday)."
A German force of about 10.000 men

German army the following order
signed by Lieutenant-General Tulff von
Tschepe and Wedinbach:
'Vitry-le-Franco. Sept. 7. The end
aimed at by our long and painful
marches has been reached. The main
French forces have been compelled to
accept battle after continuously fall

heroisms of the last few days, will do
his full duty, and to his last breath.
Everything depends on the result of

the Germans do not lend less impor

Another official communication issued
tonight says:

retreat of the Germans continues before
the French and British forces, who
have reached the lower courses of the

FIGHT DESPERATE AT CENTER
Loudon Keiorts Combined Efforts
Promise Success.
LONDON. Sept. 12. The official press
bureau makes the following announce
in t
"A summary, necessarily incomplete,
may be attempted of the operations of
the British expeditionary force and the
French arm during the last four days.
"On September 6 the southward ad -vane
of the German right reached the
extreme point at Coulommiers and
Provina, cavalry patrols having pene
trated even as far south as Nogent-Sur-Seine.
KKpoved V log Attacked.
"This movement was covered by a
large flanking force west of the line
at tlie River Ourcq. watching the outer
Paris defenses and any allied force that
mipht come from them.
"The- southward movement of the
enemy left his right wing in a danger
ous position, and he had evacuated the
Crell, Senlis, and Compiegene region,
through which his advance had been
pushed"
"The allies attacked this exposed
wing, both in front and on the flank,
on September 8. The covering force
was assailed by a French army based
on the Paris defenses and brought to
action on the line between Nanteuil-le-Hawdouin
and Meaux.
"The main portion of the enemy's
right wing was attacked frontally by
the British army, which had been trans
ferred from the north to the east of
Paris, and by a French corp advancing
alongside it on a line between Crecy,
Couloummiers and Sezanne.
"The combined operations have, up
to the present, been completely success
ful. The German outer flank was
forced back as far as the line of Ourcq
River. There it made a strong defense
and executed several vigorous counter
attacks, but was unable to beat off the
pressure of the French advance.
BrltlMb and French Cross Marne.
"The main body of the enemy's right
wing vainly endeavored to defend the
line of the Grand Morin River and
then that of the Petit Morin. Pressed
back over both of these rivers and
threatened on its right, owing to the
defeat of the covering force by the
allied left, the German right wing re
treated over the Marne on September
10.
"The Britsh army, with a portion of
the French forces on its left, crossed
this river below Chateau Thierry a
movement which obliged- the enemy's
force west of the Ourcq, already as
sailed by the French corps forming
the extreme left of the allies, to give
way and retreat northeastward in the
direction., of Soissons.
"Since September 10 the whole of
the German right wing has fallen back
in considerable disorder, closely fol
lowed by the French and British troops-
"Six thousand prisoners and 15 guns
were captured on the 10th and 11th,
and the enemy is reported to be con
tinuing his retirement rapidly over the
Aisne, evacuating the Soissons re
gions." ,
"The British cavalry is reported to
day to be at Flssmes, not far from
Rheims.
Center Strongly Engaged.
"While the Germans' right wing has
thus been driven back and thrown into
disorder, the French armies further to
the east have been strongly engaged
with the German center, which had
been pushed forward as far as Vitry-le-Francois.
Between September 8 and
10 our allies were unable to make much
impression west of Vitry. On the 11th,
however, this portion of the German
army began to give way and eventually
abandoned Vitry-le-Francois, where the
enemy's line of battle was forming a
salient, umler the impulse of the French
troops.
"Between the upper Marne and the
Meuse, the French troops are following
up the enemy and driving a portion of
his forces northward toward the Ar
yenne forest country.
"The Third French army reports to
day that it has captured the entire ar
tillery of a hostile army corps, a cap
ture which probably represents about
100 guns. The enemy, thus in retreat
along the whole line west of the Meuse.
has suffered gravely in morale, beside
encountering heavy losses in personnel
and material."
RESULT NOT YET DECISIVE
British Admit German Forces May
Rally as Allies Did.
LONDON', Sept. 12. News of a de
cisive character from east of Vitry-le-Francois,
where the army of Saxony
and parts of the armies commanded
by the Prince of Wurtemberg and Gen
eral von Buelow are fiercely striving
to break through the French right and
center, still hangs fire and the anxiety
of both forces grows keener as it is
recognized that the result of the bat
tle In this quarter is likely to have a
decisive effect on the whole lines.
Should the Germans smash through
the center off the French line in this
district, they would turn the line of
French frontier forts and seriously en
danger the rear of General Castleman's
Sixth army corps, already engaged up
to the hilt with a corresponding host
of Germans before Nancy.
It is fully realized here that the driv
ing back of the German right wing and
right center in no way is conclusive,
and that as the Franco-British forces
rallied after their long retreat, so may
the Germans turn and retrieve their
present reverses.
The public is warned that the pres
ent situation merely is the first phase
of a great battle and that the battle
itself is only the first stage of a titanic
struggle between the nations, which will
continue su long as .he main armies
remain intact as they are at present.
The latest unofficial reports from the
plains of Champagne tell of consider
ably larger numbers of German guns
and prisoners being captured than were
mentioned in the last official communi
cation. ROAD TO HAVRE IS OPEN
Report Says British Rested Before
Taking Up Advance.
LONDON Sept. 13. The road from
Havre to Paris has been reopened and
declared safe for traffic according to
a message from Havre to the Weekly
Dispatch. The communication continues:
"According to "those coming from the
front. General French rested the Brit
ish troops for four days near Paris,
thereby Insuring their freshness and
excellent spirits for the advance. Ger
man prisoners admit that their ammu
nition supply failed all along the front.
"The condition of the country along
which the allies are now advancing is
indescribable. The roads are littered
with the bodies of horses and cattle,
houses are wrecked and crops ruined.
The allies are receiving ample supplies
from the South."
RAILROAD MEN ORDERED BACK
Lines Toward Belfort and Nancy
Believed Liberated Again.
PARIS. Sept. 12. The officials of the
Eastern Railroad posted notices today
rhat the employes of the road who had
leave of absence because of the occu
pation of eastern territory by the Ger
mans should return to their duties. This
means that the railroad lines toward
Belfort and Nancy have been liberated
by the retreat of the Germans toward
the north.
One hundred and fifty canal barges
loaded with ammunition, which had
been hidden under a covering of coal,
have been captured by the French on
the River Oise. This may explain the
German shortage of ammunition.
Almost Whole Regiment Gone.
CONSTANCE (via Paris), Sept, 13.
The headquarters of the 14th German
Infantry are in mourning, as practic
ally the entire regiment has been de
stroyed. Many pitiful scenes are en
acted when the women come to ex
amine the posted list of the dead.
AMERICAN SHIP CHASED
British Cruiser Takes After Steamer
That Does Not Halt.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The British
cruiser Suffolk today chased the steam
ship Coamo, flying the American flag,
six miles down the coast of New
Jersey.
The Coamo left here today for Porto
Rico. When the Suffolk sighted her,
she hoisted international code flags
asking, "What ship is that?" In reply
the Coamo hoisted the American flag
and kept going.
The Suffolk evidently expected the
Coamo to stop, and when she failed to
do so, the cruiser turned and started
after her. The Coamo soon outran the
cruiser which then drew away and
headed out to sea.

EIFFEL TOWER FORTIFIED
Lawyer, Back From Europe With
4000 Other Refugees, Tells of
Firing on German Aeroplane
as It Circles Over Gay Paree.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. Arrivals and
sailings of trans-Atlantic steamships
today were almost as frequent as
though war were not In progress In
Europe, with cruisers of belligerent na
tions patrolling the lanes of sea traf
fic
Nearly 4000 passengers, a majority of
them American refuges, reached here
from British, French and Italian ports
on four steamships.
Among the passengers on the France
from Havre was Frederic R. Coudert,
a lawyer of international reputation.
In Paris Mr. Coudert registered his
automobile at the American Embassy,
flew the American flag on his ma
chine and started on a tour through
districts where fighting was in prog
ress. He was present at the battle of
Amiens.
French Enthanlsjim Tremendous.
"We saw a battery going into ac
tion, and you cannot imagine the en
thusiasm of those Frenchmen, who
seemed to be going- to certain death,"
Mr. Coudert said. "They had been
marching three days. They had fought
engagement after engagement."
Mr. Coudert said that on the way
to Amiens he saw 15,000 French-
Arfican troops, consisting of Turcos,
Moroccans and Senegalese, on their
way to fight the Germans.
"1 saw four French soldiers walking
toward me." he added. "They had a
German prisoner. He proved to be an
aeroplane pilot, wbo had just been
shot out of his machine by a sharp
shooter. He was badly wounded and
they were taking him to a hospital.
Russell H. Landale, a lawyer, an
other of the France's passengers, told
of bomb-dropping In Paris. With five
United States Army officers he was
dining in a cafe on August 28, when
the crackling of rifle fire was heard.
They went out into the street. .
All Paris Fires at Monoplane.
"There we saw the flashes of guns,
and looking 'upward, a monoplane cir
cling about 3000 feet over the city.
It was going rapidly and It seemea
to me that everybody in Paris was
taking a shot at it. The Eiffel Tower
is a fortress armed with rapid-fire
guns, artd these guns now began to
shoot like a Fourth of July celebra
tion. "It was just growing dusk and in
the dim light we saw a small object
drop from the aeroplane Just above
the Eiffel Tower. -Following its
flight, we expected a fearful explosion,
but nothing occurred, the shell failing
to explode. At that moment two
French aeroplanes rose from tli city
and started straight for the invader,
who was pursued by the two French
planes until out of our sight."

PAU TELLSlTlNJURy
FAMOUS FRENCH GENERAL'S LET
TER TO MOTHER FOUND.
Hero of Murlhausen Cleverly Relates
to Good Parent In 1STO How He
Lost His RlSht Arm.
PARIS. Seot. J (Correspondence ot
the Associated Press.) General Paul
Gerald Pau, hero of the second capture
of Muelhausen and whose army has
borne one of the biggest parts in the
war in a letter Just published, written
to hi3 mother soon after the battle of
Woerth in 18T0. in which he lost his
right arm. told the story of his wound
as follows:
"My good mother: As I don t know
if any of the letters that 1 have written
to you have arrived, or. rather, since 1
have strong reasons for believing that
none of them has reached you, while
this time I may hope that you will be
able to see my autograph, I am going
to relate my adventures at length.
"First of all. the originality of the
preceding seven lines must lead you to
think they were traced by a foot In
stead of a hand. Undeceive yourself
and laugh neither at the first efforts
of an unpractlced hand, nor at the
style. Besides the fact that I speak
almost exclusively German Just now. I
swear that elegant phrases do not flow
easily when it takes five minutes to
trace a line.
"But I am forgetting that I haven t
told you the main thing. I am wound-
ed. but. you see, not dangerously. It
was the 6th of August In the battle
of Woerth. I had up to that time the
luck not to be touched, in the midst of
a rain of iron and lead; when a shell
smashed a tree near me and the splin
ter struck my right hand and put two
fingers hors de combat. An hour
afterward I regretted much less, the
loss of the above mentioned digits, be
cause a Bavarian bullet fractured the
same hand and lodged itself between
the two bones of my wrist, from which
I delicately extracted It. I then was
ordered to the ambulance, and it was
while I dragged myself along in that
direction, obliged to pass under the
fire of the Prussian batteries, I re
ceived the fragment of a shell In my
right thigh.
"Unnecessary for me to tell you that
all is quite well with me. It is true
they had to amputate my wrist, but
the operation was highly successful.
How could it be otherwise? I am with
the best folks in the world; nursed like
a child of the family, visits, each more
affectionate than the last. I don't lack.
"Enough of myself. I know that I
am anxious for both your poor Lor
raine and our poor France. Shall it be
a long while before I can fly toward
Nancy, trailing a wing and dragging
a foot. It is La Fontaine who gives j
the answer. In the meantime a thou- I

RED CROSS SHIP STOPS
VESSEL BIDS FAREWELL. CASTS
ANCHOR DOWN BAY.
Secretary of Navy Raises Flap;, bnt
Voyage Will Walt on Farther
Tests With New Crew.
NEW YORK. Sept. 12. The Red
Cross, which carries American sur
geons and nurses to Europe's battle
fields, probably will not begin her
trans-Atlantic voyage until Monday.
Apparently she had started on her de
layed voyage late today, bpt after
passing quarantine she turned about
and took anchorage in Gravesend Bay.
There she is expected to remain for
another 36 hours at least.
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, bade the Red Cross farewell In
person. He raised the Stars and
Stripes at the relief ship's stern and
persons on shore believed when they
saw her steaming down the Hudson to
ward the harbor that she was off for
Europe at last.
Recent delays were due to British
and French official protests that the
Red Cross own crew contained Ger
mans. These men were replaced with
American citizens and it is believed the
purpose of the. Red Cross in waiting
until Monday before departing la to
enable her new crew to familiarize
themselves with the ship. It was ex
plained also that the anchors were in
need of testing.
RUSSIANS CLAIM VICTORY
BRILLIANT HUNGARIAN CAVALRY
DECLARED DEFEATED.
Retreat From Lemberg Signaled by
Airmen and Artillery and Cav

PARIS. Sept. 12. A Petrograd dis
patch to the Havas Agency says:
"Russlsn successes are -reported
everywhere in the theater of opera
tions. Notwithstanding the brilliant
efforts of the Hungarian cavalry and
the ability of the Austrians to Intrench
themselves in a clever manner, the
Russians have completely crushed the
bulk of the opposing armies and are
occupying more territory every day.
"The Russian artillery was so ef
fective at the bombardment of Nico
laiff, south of Lemberg, that the Aus
trian guns were silenced the first day,
whereupon the Austrians began the
evacuation without waiting an assault.
Russian airmen signaled the Austrian
retreat and the Russian artillery and
cavalry gallantly dashed around, cut
ting them off and inflicting enormous
losses."
WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. The Ger
man Embassy today received the fol
lowing wireless from Berlin:
"General Hindenburg's victorious
progress in East Prussia continues.
Tire Russians attempted to relieve the
pressure on their defeated left wing
by launching the Twenty-second Army
Corps against General Hindenburg's
flank, but, according to , official re
ports, were defeated."

CATARRH OF IAD AND STOMACH
Took. Peruna
Five Bottles
Cured Me
Mr. Frank Richter, No. 309 East
Second St., Winona. Minn., writes:
"My catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomach. I tried
many remedies without success. I
tried several doctors, but they were
unable to cure me. I read of Peruna
in the papers, and five bottles cured
me.
"As a remedy for catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending Peruna
for catarrh, of the stomach. I know
what It is to be afflicted with this
awful disease and consider it my
duty to say- a word in behalf of the
remedy which gave me such relief.
Peruna cured me, and I know it will
cure any one else who suffers from
this disease. It gives me great
pleasure to testify to the curative
effects of this medicine, peruna 13
a well tested and frequently used
remedy, and for catarrh of the stom-
. . A '
As a rule, people when ailing apply very properly to a doctor before re
sortine to a ready-to-take medicine. The great majority are cured by the
doctor But a per cent of chronic cases fail to find a cure and at
last begin to use ready-to-take medicines. It i very noticeable indeed the
number of people among our testifiers who say that it was only er the
doctor had failed to cure them that they were induced to take Peruna.
Then they find to their relief, to their surprise, to their joy, that Peruna
is the remedy they should have taken at first.

"French Youth Taught to
Treat Germany as Kneruy."
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12. (Spe
cial.) That it will devolve upon the
United States to bring about a peace
ful understanding among the European
nations, was the opinion expressed to
day before the Commonwealth Club by
Rev. Charles ?. Aked In an address
tailed "The Moral Effects of Europe's
Madness."'
Dr. Aked said that victory either
for the allies or for Germany would
mean disaster; that the subjugation of
England wonld only be the cause of
another great war within 50 years,
when Great Britain would be able to
submerge the Continent once more in
blood; the victory for Russia Inevit
ably would mean a terrible war be

that if Russia or Germany should gain
the dominant strength of Europe no

"France has been the natural enemy
of Germany. Her rising generations
have been taught that some day they
must regain Alsace-Lorraine. , Her
youths have had this idea drilled Into
them through even the school books.
But despite all this there was no hate
until the rulers ordered them out and
their ranks became deluged with blood.
Then hate grew. The outrages we have
read about are not all on one side.
The ape and tiger, deep down in hu
man nature, have been provoked, and
thousands who might have done things
to advance civilization are made to
kill. The timorous, the feeble in body
and mind are kept at home to carry on
the race and the race and the world
lose. It' has become the struggle of
fiends. The nations have shamed and
degraded religion In the eyes of the
world and to quote Sir Edward Grey,
the result will be a 'submergence of
