LONDON, Sept. 10. The official press bureau issues
flic following: "The battle continued yesterday. The cn-
my lias been driven back all along the line. Sir John
French says our first corps buried 200 German dead and
Jiave taken twelve Maxim guns. Rome prisoners were aiso
token. Our second army corps has captured 350 prisoners
.aid n battery. Tho Germans suffered heavily. Their men
nre said to be very exhausted. The IJrilish troops have
crossed the Hiver Marne in a northerly direction."
Field Marshal French's telegram shows that the fight
ing of the fiercest character is progressing. His statement
that the Gemmus are exhausted confirms unofficial in
formation that the allies' counter attack had been deliver
ed with such speed that the invaders had no chance to re
cover from the effects of their rush from the north.
