Russian Troops Are Landed -at Ostend by British Transports, London, Sept. are received here that the allies have administered a severe repulse to tne Germans along the entire battle line. The German attempt to envelop the allies' left wing has been frustrated. The advance of the Germans has been checked and been forced to retire on St. Quentin.

St. Quentin is 75 miles north of Paris and 50 miles from Paris, to which the Germans were reported; to have advanced on Wednesday. In, 4- hours, from being within 25 miles of the capital, the Germans are now- 75 miles from the outer rim of the Paris forts. 'Greatest Battle in In a battle along the German center, described in Berlin-dispatches as greatest in history," which is raging between Rheims and Verdun, "with the German crown prince in active command and the emperor on. the scene, official French reports claim the snemy has been checked.

On the extreme right a German irmy, commanded by Gen. Von Heim- ling, Is unofficially reported, to have crossed from Lorraine into Southerland to escape capture by Official reports claimed combined messes in this region.

From Antwerp and Amsterdam corroboration was received of the report that 75,000 Russians have been landed at Ostend" by British transports, joining a force' of 2,000 British marines. The Russians were said to have been sent from Archangel, the northernmost port of Russia, -through the Arctic 'ocean and the. coast of Scotland. From there they were sent by rail to Harwich and em- "harked on transports. The official press bureau issued a Statement, saying: "According to information derived from a trustworthy source seven German destroyers and torpedo boats have arrived at Kiel in a damaged condition- and it is understood that others.have been sunk in the vicinity of the Kiel canal." There was-uo official comment on the announcement, but it was taken to mean that there has been another naval engagement in the North sea or In the Baltic.

If the fight was in the Baltic, the German ships were possibly damaged by Russian vessels. This may mean that the.British fleet has been engaged in an attempt to clear an "easier passage than the Archangel route for the added Russian reinforcements. Allies Assume Offensive. According to a dispatch from Ostend, telling of the check to the German right, the allies have suddenly assumed the offensive and have driven the Germans back 30 or 40 miles. The fortress of La Fere, north of which the Ostend correspondent said the Germans were, was reported captured by the invaders several days ago.

According to a dispatch from Berlin, the German war office claims a victory over the French in a three- day battle, ending last Wednesday, between Rheims and in which more than 750,000 men were engaged. The statement says that the French opposition was strongly maintained, but that eventually it was, crushed. If the Berlin statement proves correct it will explain much that has happened in the western field in the last few days. To bring into battle anything like 750,000 men means that the French forces must have been concentrated between Rheims and Verdun at the expense of the French left, which, according to earlier reports, had suffered so heavily and had allowed-the Germans to get so near the Paris forts. Germans Claim Victory.

Though the Germans claim a victory their report does not go into details. That nothing further should have come out about the "greatest battle in history," though it ended three days ago, is considered The?
