, "Some strange chance of fortune,

"While all the other great countries

VERDUN SCENE
DECISIVE FIGHT
OFPRESENTWAR
Belief Growing That Germans Have
Concentrated Under Personal Com
mand of Kaiser to Storm Strong,
Frontier Fortress Swlna to Seuth
Intended to Make Safe Siege Paris.
LONDON, Srpl. 7, Orl.'i n. m. The
belief is growing that n great, decis
ive battle is being fought nt Verdun,
the strong fortress of France, on the
Metistf, nenr the French frontier.
If the fourth German nnny, march
ing southward, cuts off the roll cat of
the French eastern armies, which re
cently have been holding the Ger
mans in check between Tout, n forti
fied town, fourteen miles west of
Nancy, nnd F.pinnl, nUo strongly for
tified nnd near tho AUaoe frontier, it
might rejM-nt the coup which in 1870
drove General Charles Denis Snuter
Dourbnki and his nnny of 1.10,000
men into Switzerland.
To I'ml)'c French Army.
Hopeful critics nre speculating on
the ossihility that the German swing
around to tho south mny mean nn ef
fort on the part of the invaders to
make suro of their retreat through
the Meuse district, but more likely it
is a scheme to strike such n paralyz
ing blow to the French nnny ns to
render the investment of Paris n safe
operation. The southerly movement
of the Germans may effect a junction
of the crown prince's army nnd the
army of Havnbia, which has teen
held on the defensive in Lorraine.
Thus the Germans' would advance
from tho east nnd north in n vast
enveloping movement destined to
entsh the allies' right wing by sheer
weight of numbers, just ns their left
wing wan piiihcd hack during the last
fortnight.
These preliminary movements, if
showing nothing el-e, at lenst prove
that the Germans realize that the
siege of Paris, even its occupation,
is quite worthless from n stratepc
standpoint while tho allies pre free
in tho field.
Decisive Conflict.
Corroboration of the above men
tioned theory is contained in n dis
patch from Ilerlin, which describes n
bnttlo in n difficult country between
Verdun and Itethel ns the deciding
conflict as fnr ns France is concern
ed. This dispatch states that tho op
posing forces nre almost equally di
vided, but that the French have tho
advantage, fighting from n defensive
position of their own choosing.
Another significant factor is the
general understanding that Emperor
William is inspecting tho field of op
eration in this neighborhood. Reports
disagree ns to his exact whereabouts,
hut all agree that ho is in tho vicinity
of the Franco-Gennnn bonier. Tho
conflict in this region must hnvo de
cisive results, Tho capture of the
great French fortresses would be n
terrible blow to France, while the re
pulse of the Gorman nnny would give
the French n chance, to nssumo the
offensive, n course needed on account
of its moral effect in tho western
theater of the war.
Alines in tho North sen nro becom
ing such a menace that it may be
closed to navigation during the night
time. The admiralty notice gives the
right to put out the coast lights at
any time, which would make it diffi
cult for Gennnn mine-layers to con
tiuue their work.

GALLANT DEFENSE
OF TERMONDE BY
BELGIAN FORCES
LONDON", Sept. 7, 3:47 n. nt.
The correspondent of the Kxprens,
wiring from Termonde, sixteen miles
from Gheutt under date of Saturday,
says ;
"Termonde has fallen nfter sir
hours of fighting. The little force of
6000 Belgians made a gallant de
fense, but the enemy was 20,000
strong nnd the Belgians were unable
to reply effectively to the deadly fire
of the German siege guns.
"The Gentians began the attack
between 2 and .1 o'clock Saturday
morning and the rain of shells over
the town, was incessant, until 0. It
wns n hopeless task, attempting to
hold earthworks against such odds,
and one by one the slender defences
were abandoned. Tho defenders
were nblc to leave in good order
without serious losses, nnd went by
way of Berlner and Ovcnneire, in the
direction of Ghent.
"After entering the town, the Ger
mnus set it afire nnd throughout the
mcn'iiife dense clouds of snioke over
hung the town. Not three miles
away the peasants, with strange nnd
dull anathy, were still working in
their gardens, sometimes turning to
watch the smoke. Only the children
seem nfrnid, nnd they ntn and hide
from motor enrs.
"I sighted Gennnn outposts from
Tennonde, within three miles of
Ghent, nnd there arc indications thnt
tliev will almost immediately occupy
Ghent. The people nre greatly excit
ed nnd many are preparing for
flight."
