the first sign of hope that g earns

Realize the Enormity of the
Struggle and Meet Every
Sacrifice Stoically
New York, Sept., 7. A thrilling
story of how German women are giving
up their sons and husbands without a
murmur in the European war was told
here today by Miss Eleanor Painter, a
singer, of Colorado Springs, Colo.,, who
has just arrived here from Berlin.
"The German women are fuciug the
situation most calmly," she said.
"Their spirit is wonderful. They seem
to realize that the life of the nation
is at stake but they are accepting the
inevitable loss of life With remarkable
fortitude. j
"Grim dignity is nbticeablo every
where. The women if the nation en
tertain no false ide;t regarding the
enormity of the struggle. They realize
that lraetieally the entire European'
world is lined up against the father
land, and many admit t!" odd are
heavy against Germany surviving. But
the women are urging the men to fight
as long as there is ft man left and would
gladly take up arms themselves if they
were allowed to do so. ,
"There is not a dissenting voice any
where in the chorus of patriotism. The
women contend that Russian's deceit
was the immediate cause of the conflict.
"When the czar protested that he
wanted peace, Berlin knew that Russia
having learned that the allies contem
plated a general engagement west ofj
the city.
The French were massed there, ready
to entrap the enemy, but German cav
alry scouts and aviators discovered the
danger, and it was evident that the kai
ser's commanders had suddenly changed
their program.
As a result of latest developments it
was believed the German right , wing
would remain stationary pending the
outcome of the fighting on the River
Mtuse.
The Germans had crossed the Meuse
heavily at Stcnay and opposed si force
of 500,000 French troops.
The battle line extended through
bethel and Verdun. The latter town was
surrounded by the enemy.

Paris Celebrates It.
Bordeaux, Sept. 7. The French were
celebrating as a victory today the Ger
man's failure to attack Paris.
The newspapers fairly gloated over
it. The war office was of the opinion,
however, that the kaiser was only wait
ing until his right wing was strength
ened.
General Von Buelow was trying to
reach it with his force from Rheims.
Germans were pouring through Sten
ay Gap in huge numbers, co-operating
with the forces from Metz. Apparent
ly their plan wag to defeat the French
in the east, preventing the allies from
retreating toward Belfort and sweeping
the country.
In their anxiety to make a rapid ad
vance the kaiser's generals were not
trying to reduce the strongholds they
reached but were leaving sufficient
fores to bottle up their garrisons and
sweeping on with, their main body to
the south and westward.
Situation Improving. '
Bordeaux, Sept. 7. That the situa
tion at the fighting front was gradually
improving for the Franco-British allies
was asserted here today by War Min
ister Millerand.
Millerand denied that sweeping
changes had been made among the
French commanding officers.
It was known, iiowever, that some
generals had been superseded for hav
ing failed to grasp conditions confront
ing them.
Kola Neis, hop grower, who is well
known here, is marooned in Germany on
account of the war. lie is shut np in
Frankfort-on-the-Mai and writes from
there to the- Kola Keis Hop company
concerning the war as seen from the
German side of the line. Part of the
postcard is blotted by the censor so
than an expression concerning England
is unreadable. The card, translated,
follows:
"Frankfort-on-Main, August 14.
Well, there is war cn three sides. It
wilt be terrible. Even England has
turned against Germany, and for abso
lutely no other reason but jealousy.
And it is very much indeed to be re
gretted that England, (part blotted
out by the eensor) did not remain neu
tral. England does boi anow any news
to get out that is unfavorable to trie
English nation, or its allies.
"So far, no Frenchman has stepped
on German soil, in spite of all news
that has been sent to America to Hie
contrary. And already on the 7th day
of August the Belgian fortress of Blege
had been taken by the German troops.
"Every German goes into the fight
with the spirit that Germany must win
out even if it should take the last man,
for Germany has been attacked and its
very natural existence is at stake.
"For the present I will not be able
to get away from here, and do not know
iiow long I will be compelled to remain
here until steamboats from .the United
States which fly neutral flags will take
us home. '.There are more than 1000
Americans here in Frankfort alone who
are more than anxious to get ftWay.
None of us have beon annoyed in the
least and we all feel more safe here
than in any other place. Perhapg they
will rquest of us to go to Holland or
Switzerland into neutral territory.
Ho crop is very good everywhere,
but whether they will be able to find
sufficient pickers on account of the war
to care of the srop is a question. Busi
ness on account of the war is rather
slow."

In Solid Phalanx 150 Miles
Long Kaiser Hurls Full
Strength on Allies
PROBABLY FIERCEST
BATTLE OF THE WAR
England Feverishly Rushing
AU Available Troops to
the Continent
(By Ed L. Keen.)
London, Sept. 7. Qermnny was stak
ing everything on one mighty battle to
day. In a solid Phalanx 150 miles long the
kaiser was hurling his full strength
against the Franco-British allies.
Driving to the southward from Nan
teuil, General Von Kluk'g force consti
tuted the German extreme right wing.
General Von Heering's body was at the
extreme left. Five Teutonic armies
were between them, all striking desper
ately at the same spot.
Experts declared it woi obvious the
kaiser's plan was to annihilate the al
lies' mobile forces, that he may divide
his own force, leaving half of it to be
siege Paris and rushing the other half
eastward to meet the Russians.
The experts said they tfld not believe
he would succeod in this object. Yet
the war office was feverishly prepar
ing to hurry fresh levies of British
troops to the continent. Retired ser
geants were being recalled to the col'
ors to drill recruits. It was agreed that
the country was likely to neod the last
man available. .
Should the French army be demolish
ed, Great Britain, military authorities
said, would have to bear the brunt of
the fighting in the west.
An Antwerp digpatca to the. Daily
News said Oermany was forcing its
Belgian prisoners of war to fight in
the kaiser's ranks against the Rus
sians. '

Paris, Sept. 7. What was believed
here to be the fiercest battle of the war
thus far was raging today 'along the
Franco-British allies', triangular lino

The allies' extreme left was thought

The German force from Vitry to Ver

It was believed to include the Ger

Duke of Wurtcmburg's and the Bavar

troops recently withdrawn from Alsace.

Edge of Great Battlefield Only
As Far Away as Astoria
From Portland
By William O. Shepherd, United IJress
Staff Correspondent.
London, Aug. 28. (By mail to New
York.) Stand in Picadilly circus to
niizht and look to the east. Beyond the
city's roofs, beyond the fields outside
the town, forty miles away, lies wa
ter. This water is only 26 miles wide;
it is the English channel. And on the
other sido of the channel is France,
where English soldiers are fighting and
dying.
Only 120 miles away from London
lies an edge of the great French battle
fiold. It is only 2 hours away on an
aeroplane; only ft little moro than bee
line distance from New York to Phila
delphia. Stand in Picadilly circus, the
heart of London, where the lights are
brightest, and whore London plays in
peace times and think of that nearby
battle ground and you begin to under
stand why England's heart is aflutter
and why she tries to keep hersolf from
thinking what might happen If things
go wrong. English coolness doesn't fool
you. I'm writing this just one hour
after the news has come to England
that 2000 of her soldiers have fallen to
day. I was in the lobby of the house
of commons when the messago came. 1
felt the chill that spread over that his
toric structure.
Its Horror Is Felt
I saw the members of parliament
men in white felt hats, cutaway coats,
winged-top collars, models of fashion
moving about tho groat stone lobbies
among the stone statues of kiugs and
nuenns of other dark days.
I knew by their faces their hearts
were chilled and that the greatest war
that mankind over has known has
thrown its chill of horror ovr them
Gladstone, in stone, loomed over them
He never knew such ft war as this, or
such ft chilling of England's sturdy
hnnrt. Near him. silent as he is. stand
the splendid -stone kings o days so far1
gone that their deeds are only dim in
the English history and their names al
most forgotten. Thoy never saw such
a war as this. -Relics
of England's history brooded
over us in the great lobby and remind
ers of hor darkest days were at every
hand, but these men in their high white
bats knew woll, and as you looked at
them, you knew they knew it, that if
England does not perform a greater
deed than all her past history shows, she
will see a darker day than she has ever
scan before. Stand in the great stone
hall and think of what these English
statesmen were thinking about and the
Importance of the moment will almost
crush you.
It Translates "Daddy's Dead"
Off to the east, across the channel,
140 members of parliament are fight
ing; evon now some of them may have
laid down their lives for England. It is
known that some of them have been In
hired. Toniizht. in humbler places than
this massive house of parliament, the
horror of war will entor, for messengers
from the klug will carry to women and
children short missives of news that will
change their lives forever. However
formally the king's messago may be
written, little children will transate it
before bedtime tonight into two short
words "Daddy's dead" and women,
at the words, will feel an ice at their
statesmen ,will ever need to shrink
from. ....
No wonder Picadilly circus is forgot
ten tonight. In distant camps tonight
English soldiers may be singing the war
time song, "Goodbye Piccadilly; Fare
well Leicester Square."

General Von Auffenberg's and
General Dankl's Austrian forces
were fighting General Rouszky's

Lublin province, Russian Po
land, between the town of Ilrub
ieszow and the Galician frontier.
Rouszky sought to crush the
Austrians before German rein
forcements reached them. His
men outnumbered the Austrians
four or five to one.
Von AulTenberg reported that
he was hard pressed but said he
was . confident of folding his ""
position until reinforcements
reached him. His command is
the flower of the Austrian army.
In Austrian Galicia, the situa
tion had improved somewhat.
German reinforcements had
reached the River San and were
mounting artillery.
It was expected the main
Russian attack on the San would
be made at Przemysl, where the
Austrian fortifications are of
tremendous strength. Aus

From north to south their line stretch

New York, Sept. 7. The ancient Ca
talaunian fields, where Atilla and hi
Huns were checked in 451 A. D., in
their attempt to overrun Europe, may
be the scene of the firs? test engage
ment in the thus .far indecisive move
ment in France.
The Catalaunian fields be betwee
Troyes and Chalons-Sur-Marne, which
form the eastern base of a triangle with
the Rivers Marne and Seine as its sides
and Paris as its apex. From base to
Apex of this triangle is 80 miles. Its
base is 45 miles across.
Within the triangle the allies are
forming in line, and from the north the
Germans are approaching rrom several
directions. ' .,.,'.
It seems sow as if fae allies' resist
ance to th e German advance would
ance to the German advance would
history.
Their capture of RhiTms shows that
the Germans actually accomplished the
enveloping movement indicated in this
column Saturday. Ony, when the Ger
man troops succeeded in their attempt,
they discovered that they enveloped
only the cage at Rheims the bird bad
flown to tbe southward of the Marne
river.
This anti-climax to the vast strate
gic effort of the German general staff
doubtless accounts for the statement by
the British official information bureau
that the Germans seemed to have aban
doned their eneircling ambitions.
Tbe moral etiect on the allies of the
Implied re arrangement of the German
t,la" must be considerable. The most
difticalt tactical effort ia warfare is to
conduct a tfe retreat from an eager,
pressing highly . mobile force, such as
the German army has shown itself tc
be. The allies have been successful ih
preserving their nnity and in making
futile every enveloping effort of the
German strategists. This is especially
o high tribute to the skill of the French
defensive maneuvers because French
nilitury instruction has ben concentrat
ed on offensive, not defensive tactics.
Not An English take.
The Germans' capture of ft British
fishing fleet shows that the North sea
has not become ft British lake. Four
German Warships seemingly were able
to cross it half way to England, unde
tected, and to have been so confident
tost they would not be discovered, that
they took the time necessary to trans
fer the fleet's catch to their own ves
sels. That considerable part of the North
sea is. unguarded seems evident from
this exploit. Undoubtedly it will lead
to ft readjustment of the British patrol
ling system.
The fishing fleet adventure also sug
gests that there is no absolute security
for the British coast against ft daring
, German naval raid.
