Long before Germany was to be reck- oned with as a sea power Switzerland possessed a fleet equipped for warfare. Eight hundred years ago on all the larger Swiss lakes armed galleys were maintained by the rival cantons. Skill- ed shipwrights had to be imported from Genoa for the construction of these vessels, some of which carried crews of 500 men. The largest Swiss flotilla was maintained on the Lake of Gene va, when the :inhabitants of Geneva' were at war with Savoy. Since the. neutrality of Switzerland bas been guaranteed by the powers there has: been no need for warships on the lakes. The Swiss, `however, possess a mercan- tile navy. which carries a considerable amount of trade over the 842 miles of navigable waterways in the republic. Line of Duty.

River Aisne. French Official Statement' Says. Left Wing of Allies Has Catight Up With German Rear Everywhere and Even With the Main Body of the Fleeing Troops—New Trine of Defence Prepared by Enemy. PARIS, Sept, 15.—The French offi- cial statement, issued last night, says that French troops have reoccupied Amiens, which was abandoned by the Germans, but that the Germans are making a stand on -the River Aisne. The statement is as follows: "On our left wing we, have every- where caughtup with the rear guards, and even tbe ntain body of the enemy. "Our troops have re-entered Amiens, abandoned by the German forces. "The enemy appears to be making a stand on a prepared front along the River Aisne. "On the centre, similarly, it would seem as if the enemy intends to •re- sist on the heights to the northwest, and to the north of Rheims. In the region between Argonne and the Meuse he continues to retire. "On our right wing, in the Woevre district, we have succeeded in reliev- ing the fort of Troyon, which has been stubbornly attacked time and time again during 'the last few days. (Troyon Is 12 miles south-southeast of Verdun.) "In Lorraine our pursuing detach- ments are keeping, as everywhere else, in touch with the Germans. "The morale and sanitary condi- tion of our armies continue excel- lent." - The . following communique has been issued by the War Office: "On our left wino the enemy had prepared to the north of the River Aisne, between Corn.peigne and Sois- sons, -aline-of defence. ` Detachments which the enemy had around Amiens: have now retired on Peronne and St. Quentin. "On our centre, likewise, the Ger- mans had organized a rear defensive position, which they have not been able to hold. In Argonne they • have fallen back northwards, beyond the forest of Belfoue and of Triancourt. "On our right wing, the enemy's retreating movement, which is gener- al' now, extends frim Nancy to the Vosges mountains: Last evening all the French territory in that quarter was completely evacuated." A batch of German prisoners. com- posed of a general witL his entire staffand six other officers and 300 men, arrived to -day at Noisy -le -See,' 50 miles northeast of Paris, whence they were sent to the south. Unrelenting -pursuit of -the rapidly retreating German armies by the British and French forces continued yesterday with extraordinaryvigor, according to the French statements. Despite the great numbers compos- ing their various armies, which oper- ated together against. the allies, the German withdrawal movement is be- ing carried _ out with great rapidity and cleverness. The main body ap- pears to be approaching the Belgian frontier, while the German left wing seemingly is gaining shelter in Ger- man Lorraine. So far as known, the fleeing invad- ers, who, after wonderful forced marches into France, made such a stern attempt to break through the solid lines of ' the allies defending Paris, have abandoned more than 60 cannon of various calibre, and 30 ma - chino guns, because their exhausted horses were unable to drag them fast enough to keepup even with the foot - weary infantry. Enormous amounts of ammunition and war stored also were left on the route of the Ger- mans, which. is through a diff4eult marshy country, rendered almost im- passable in some places by the heavy rains of the past few days, and which threaten to continue. The allies, on the other hand, it is asserted, display no signs of fatigue. They are represented as stirred by unexpectedly great victories to each a state of_ elation' that they are able to keep close on the heels of the re- tiring enemy, whom they harmer day and night, cutting off detachments and attempting to place forces be- tween the retiring armies and the comparative safety of the frontier.
