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.
