FRENCH PAPER SHOWS
KAISER SOUGHT WAR
Clearly Proves That Germany Plan-
ned Aggressive Action Against
i=• France at First Opportunity
[ Apologists for the German and
Austrian Government, have striven to
'fasten the responsibility for the war
upon other powers. Certain technics:
details which were published by the
French newspaper "Le Temps" go to
prove that Germany meant war from
the beginning. Tho course of events
was briefly as follows:
Slily 23, 6 p.m. -The Austrian ulti-
matum was presented to Servia.
July 26, 6 p.m. -The Servian reply
was given and the Austrian Minister
quitted Belgrade.
July 28 -Austria, after some hos-
tile actions, declared war on Servia.
July 28 or 29 -Russia ordered a
partial mobilization.
August 1 -Germany declared war on
Russia.
"Le Temps" showed that whil.
these events were in progress and
during the course of negotiations re-
presented as showing Germany earn-
est in the cause of peace, active mili-
tary preparations were in full swing
In Germany.
On July 25 -before the reply of
Servia to the Austrian ultimatum was
due -all leave was stopped for garri-
sons on the French frontier.
On the evening of the same day all
bridges, viaducts and similar works
near the Franco-German frontier were
placed under military guard.
On the same day all the measures
concerning the preparation of for-
tresses for war were put in applica-
tion. Undergrowth was removed, wire
entanglements set up, advanced bat-
teries set in position, ammunition dis-
tributed, and telegraphic communica-
tions established. These measures
.were steadily continued from that
date.
On the morning. of July 26 orders
were given to the railway companies
to distribute their engines, rolling
stock, etc., with a view to mobilize,.
tion and to clear the mobilization
platforms.
In the evening of July 26 all men
on leave were recalled and all troops
engaged at the instruction camps or
manoeuvre grounds returned to bar-
racks.
On July 27 the work of local mobil-
ization and commandeering began.
The principal supplies establishments,
in particular the most important flour
mills, were occuppied by troops.
Os this same day, in advance of
Austria's declaration of war, the Ger-
man "covering troops" began to take
up their position and all frontier
roads were barred. "Covering troops'
are special corps stationed on the
frontier, which are kept unusually
strong in peace time, their, duty be-
ing to repel any early attacks which
might break up the .railway system
and otherwise hinder the concentra-
tion of the main body.
On the same day the telegraphic
censorship came into force and the
German fleet was prepared for ser-
vice.
On July 28, 29, 30, the "covering
troops" were brought up to their full
effectiveness bythe calling u p of re-
servists,
g n
servists, at least 125,000 mon being
so called up. Horses and motor cars
were commandeered, and all along
the French frontier, particularly in
the neighborhood of Metz, the corps
usually stationed at some distance
were brought up into close proximity
with the frontier.
The preparations for the war of the
German Government thus date front
a very early period in the negotiations
which preceded the outbreak of hos-
tilities.

General Von Kluk, reinforced with
troops from the German centro, con,
times to make a determined stand
against the attempt of the allies to

from London on Monday night.
The French, who on Sunday, of-
ficially reported that all the German
attacks in this region had been re-
pulsed and that the allies had re-
sumed the offensive, followed this
Monday by the announcement that
while to the north of the Oise tine
battle which commenced seriously
about Sept. 25, continues with great
violence, no decisive result has been
reached and that at certain points
the French troops have had to yield
ground.
According to the official commun-
ique issued in Paris Sunday night the
struggle on the left wing is at its
height at the Arras district, but it is
without any decisive results. There
is also reported another act'on be-
tween the upper valleys of the Enere

battle front, It is said that they will
proceed to the headquarters of the
French general staff and possibly
congratulate the officers and men on
their success in the campaign. Con-
siderable interest attaches to the
visit of the President in that he has
several times before expressed a de-
sire to go to the front, but that each
time General Joffre has told him the
time was not opportune. In view of
his present visit it is believed that
the opportune time for lils appearance
at the battle front has arrived.
Allies Stormed Trenches
A despatch from the battlefront on
Sunday said: "Trench after trench of
the German line fell into the posses-
sion of the allies on Saturday after
most vigorous assaults, carried home
with determination combined with the
newly learned lesson of caution.
The Germans, who had.borne.back
the allies' western wing slightly on
Friday, retained their advanced posi-
tions near Roye until they became un-
tenable. They then fell back to new
lines which had been previously pre-
pared.
The western wing of the allied
armies woe still further extended
to -day, and now reaches within 30
miles of the Belgian frontier, carrying
the allies' overlapping movement in
a north-easterly direction.
The German reinforcements on this
end of the line are very strong.
These troops probably were brought
from bodies of German forces echelon-
ed in the rear of their advanced en-
trenchments. Their courageous dashes
to the allies' front did not meet with
success, and the French and British
were able to make them fall back on
their deep trenches.
Allies Use Open Order
The sight of the allied infantry
creeping across the open spaces in
_runt of the trenches in a brilliant
sunshine which glittered on their wea-
pons was impressive. I3undreds of
shells burst overhead or in their
rear without doing groat damage.
Everywhere the French and British
soldiers seemed as though glued to
the ground, but yet their widely ex-
tended lines progressed always for-
ward. In only two or three instances
did they encounter the spitting ma-
chine-gun fire with its murderous
hail of bullets, which opened on them
when they ysurmounted slight emin-
ences before reaching the German

ANTWERP HOLDING OUT
German Attack on Belgian Fortress
and Capital Falls
The Belgians deny that any of the
forts of Antwerp have fallen. The
latest attempt of the Germans was to
cross the River Nethe. In this they
were defeated. The Belgians claim
that their whole army is not concen-
trated at Antwerp, but that detach-
ments are throughout the country en-
deavoring to interfere with the Ger-
man line of communications into
France, and they claim that in these
attempts their army has been sig-
nally successful.
A despatch from Antwerp, dated
Sunday night, said: "The Germans
have been repulsed. They asked for
a two-hour armistice to bury their
dead, but the Belgians refused to
comply,
"The Belgians have destroyed all
the bridges over the River Nethe.
The Germans attempted -unsuccess-
fully to rebuild the bridges."
INDIAN TROOPS IN FRANCE
Official Announcement Made of Their
Safe Arrival at Marseilles
The War Information Bureau has
made it known that troops from In-
dia, including both native Indian and
British soldiers, have landed in France
at Marseilles. Messages from the
King were read to the troops on their
arrival.
All the troops were in khaki, with
only slight differences in design.
Some of the British contingent from
India wear short pants, identical to
those of Boy Scouts. Others wear
knickerbockers that cover the knees.
All wear puttees and turbans. -

Captain Barttelot Never Flinched
Even When His Leg Was Shot Off
The finest story of the first big
fight between the British and Ger.

Liberty as told by an eye -witness.
Her funnel was shot away and the
foremast, too, which carried with it
the wireless, and a German shot went
clean through her bows, well above
the waterline.
Commander Barttelot stood on the
bridge, though the shells .more rain,

Then a shell came and shot off one

Germans In Full Flight Before Army
of the Czar
An official communication issued at
Petrograd on Sunday night said: "The
Battle of Augustowo ended yester-
day, October 3, in a victory for the
Russian arms, The German defeat is
complete. The enemy is at this
moment in a disordered retreat, and
in flight toward the East Prussian
frontier. The valiant Russian troops
are in close pursuit, the Germans
abandoning in their desperate march
trains, cannons and munitions, not
having even time to gather up their
wounded.
1 "The Battle of Augustowo began
on September 29 with a bombard-
ment by the German heavy artillery
iu the region of Sopotzkin (on the
i left bank c? Inc River Niemen), fol-
! lowed by ea o:':neive movement by
the enemy agar et the same fortified
town.
"At the same time the Germans
made repeated efforts to crush and
dislocate the Russian forces near
Druskeniki, on the Niemen. On Sep-
tember 26 the Germans also began
an attack on the fortresses of Osso-
wetz, but everywhere met with fierce
resistance, and were compelled to re-
treat. Not satisfied with counter-
attacks, our troops took the offensive
vigorously and pursued the enemy.
Notwithstanding the energetic resist-
ance offered by the Germans, they
could not check the onward rush of
our troops, who captured the enemy's
positions, one after another.
"Routed by this irresistible engage-
ment, the Germans weakened, and
are at present in full retreat; they
are leaving our territory in haste. .A
certain points this retreat is degener-
ating into a flight."
tivirLHO'a THE FIELD
Czar and Kaiser Personally Superin-
tend Campaign In East
Nothing is more indicative of the
critical situation in the eastern
theatre of the war than the presence
there of the Emperors in personal
command of their vast armies. The
Czar and the Kaiser, according to
credible despatches from Petrograd,
Roma and elsewhere, have hastened
to the battle lino along the Russian -
German frontiers. The Emperor of
Russia has gone towards Silesia, and
is assumed at present to be at War-
saw, the base of the great central
army now advancing directly towards
Posen and alreadly in collision with
German forces along the line of Posen,
Kalisz and Cracow. There is infor-
mation from German and Russian
sources that the Kaiser has left Bres-
trenches. They found few Germans directing the ship. He was find. lau for Posen and is dominating the

only a few hundred yards back.
Had a Football Game
The French soldiers were greatly
surprised to see their British com-
rades after the long spell in the
trenches retire to some distance in
the rear and inflate several footballs
and begin lively games. Some of the
British battalions had lost a large
proportion of their numbers in the
severe battles of the last week, but
the zest of the men for the sport was
unabated. Two battalions engaged in
a regular match, on the result of
which some money changed hands,"
SIKHS MADE TROUBLE
Those Rejected at Vancouver Caused
Riot In India -Sixteen Were Shot
The Sikh passengers on the steamer
Komagata Maru, who were refused
permission to land at Vancouver,
B.C., refused to board a train for the
Punjab upon their arrival at Bajbaj,
India, and opened fire with their re-
volvers. One European was killed
and several others, including the
Commissioner of Police, were wound-
ed. One Punjab policeman was killed
and several were wounded. Troops
were compelled to fire to check the
rushes of the Sikhs, and 15 of the
rioters were killed, The remainder
were scattered to surrounding villages
and later were rounded up.
