W' Paris, Sept. 11—The War Office in an official statement at
3:15 says the French offensive continues successful and that the
Germans have been pushed back 60 to 75 kilometers- A kilo
meter is a little more than .62 o f a mile, making the French ad
vance 37 to 46 miles.
i There is jubilation here over the announcement that the
German center and right hre now falling back. The Germans
have not gained any ground since September 6th and the ex
perts believe that the crisis is passed regarding the breaking of
' the French center.
It is believed in view of the Ghent advices that the Belgi
ans will soon retake Brussels. The Belgians are attacking the
German patrols at Ostend.
General Gallieni of the arm y of defense has created sur
prise in announcing that Von Kluck has been repulsed at the
center, for it was believed that Von Kluck was directing the
German right wing.
A government bulletin earlier today had announced that the
British-French left continues victorious, but the German rein
- forcements are making a terriffic fight upon the center, hold
ing their ground in defensive battle. The French have also
reinforced and continue the assault.
