1 French Military Officials Predict That Germans Will Be Fight

Weeks.

United Press Dispatch.
Paris, Sept. 22.—The military officials predict that within
three weeks the Germans will be fighting upon the defensive
outside of France. This is based on General Gallieni’s report that
the German left is being forced back and the German center and
left are on the defensive now.
The French officials claim that the Germans have commenced
withdrawing and declare the Aisne battle has resulted in a
victory for the Allies. General Von Kluck, despite 100,000 re
inforcements, is unable to extend west because the Allies hold
these positions and also unable to take the offensive.
It is evident here that General Von Kluck’s 100,000 rein
forcements are now forced to take a north and south position to
prevent the turning of German lines in the Noyons and Sois
sons region.
As a result the French have been able to advance on the
front, pushing thq Germans back on their lines of communica
tion. The weather is slightly improved but the entire front is
a quagmire, hampering the artillery.
/ General Gallieni says that the French artillery is active
throughout. The feeling here is that victory is impending and ,
all believe that German resistance will soon weaken.
The French are attacking General Von Buelow, whose army
is "weakened from sending reinforcements to the German right,
commanded by General Von Kluck!
The war office statement says the Germans were most vio
lent in the battle of yesterday between Rheims and Squain, but
the Germans failed to penetrate the French lines. The situation
continues favorable to the Allies.

United Press Dispatch.
Berlin, Sept. 22.—The war office statement says there are
no important changes. It is stated however, that Verdun is iso
lated and it is now being bombarded by the Germans. The
^French positions on Craonne Heights have been taken as part of
a move to take Rheims. Incidentally there are eight railroads
centering there- It is believed the move will be successful. The
efforts to pierce the French center are succeeding gradually des
pite the reinforcements of the Allies who are unable to drive the
army of General Von Kluck back at any point.
The war office stated that uninterrupted German successes
continue. The Germans continue to attack the fortresses south
of Verdun. They took Cote in Lorraine, and also took Batheny
and are advancing on Rheims. -

1 London, Sept. 22.—Following the announcement that the
German right was being pushed back four miles a day experts say
that the Germans are at the end of their string. It is reported

* Bordeaux, Sept.' 22.—The Allies continue to turn the Ger
man right wing despite the Germans' fierce resistance, accord
ing to Genearl Joffre’s reports. General Von Kluck's retiring
will soon compel the German center to fall back to new lines.
y The Crown Prince is preparing new defense lines across I
the Meuse River indicating that his army will soon leave their
^ present position. Staff reports indicate that the Allies are sue- X
cessful. Minister of War Millerand says that the fighting on i
* the French left is the fiercest of all.
