PARIS, Sept. S, C:30 n. in. Paris Is optimistic this morning. Even tlio nurprlRo at finding that tlio Germans have been able to traverse nearly the entire Champlgny country docs not shako confidence In tlio outconio b tlio great battlo, which alter all the maneuvers, Is being fought on ground delected by. General Joseph Jotfre, the French commandor-ln-chlcf. Germans in Jeopardy. The famous turning movement ot tlio Germans has finally resulted In n battlo formation that puts their own right In Jeopardy as yesterday's ad vance ot tho allies loft proved. As far as may be Inferred from tho meagre official now the army now railed 'tho army ot Parlg must bo act lug as an independent force, holding tho convex sldo ot a curved battlo line and free to niensco tho communlca tlons ot tho enemy. Hits ot now already coming in from tho wounded show that tho allies gained a distinct success on tho left, the enemy suffering greatly while tr- Ing to cross tho river Marne. As fast as pontoons wero finished the French three-Inch guns demolished thorn before they could be utilized. Fought at 'Obnraluujicii.' Thoy wounded are being brought In by tramway. Among those arriv ing yesterday were two Irish troopers. who, separated from their regiment during tho fighting at Compelgne, could glvo no other account ot their wanderings than that tno last they knew "thoy wcro fighting at Copen hagen." Tho general opinion ot tho morn ing press is th'at tho allies may lose the battlo and still make tho tlego ot Paris difficult for tho enemy, while if the German loso, tho situation o their entire army Is critical. ROM ft, Sept. S, via London, 12:43 IK in, According to tho Home Trl buna there Is in Franco today n totnl ot 230,000 Russian troops. This newspaper attributes Emperor Wil liam's presence at Mvis to this con centration ot the Russians. The steamer Maurctania which reached New York September 3, brought tho first reports to this coun try of an extensive landing of Rus- slan troops at French ports. The strict British censorship prevented tho transmission of this Intelligence by cable, and for this reason tho news had to como by word ot mouth and by mall. liCttcrs from London, dated Aug ust 27, corroborated tho reports o' tho Maurctnnla passengers. From theso sources It was gathered that England had placed more than SO, 000 Russian forces In France by means of transports sent north ot the Scan dinavtan Peninsula to ArchangcS, where tho Russians embarked. Tho movement was surrounded with the greatest secrecy. According to ono version tho Russians were landed from tho transports directly at Del glan or French ports. Another said they had been landed at Aberdeen, Scotland, then taken on special trains across England and then conveyed by ship to Ostcnd. It was pointed out at this tlmo thai it this movement could be accom plished successfully onco thero was no reason why It could not be re peated and a Russian force much In excess ot S0.O00 men might be landed In France by this northern -route.
