MOVEMENTS OF BRITISH
MILITARY IN FRANCE
LONDON, Sept—#10, 2:30 a. m.—The text of the re-
port of Field Marshal Sir John French, in command of
the British forces in France, covering the British oper-
ations since they landed in France, was miadc public in
the Official Gazette today. The report is addressed to
Earl Kitcheenr, the secretary for war, and its publication
indicates that the government is responding to the public
demand for fuller information on the progress of opera-
tions, so far as the British forces are concerned in
France.
'I he report is as follows:
"The transportation of the troops from England by
rail and sea was effected in the best order and without a
check. Concentration was practically completed on the .
evening of Friday, August 21. I was able to make dis-
positions to move the forcealuring Saturday to positions
I considered favorable in \vliiclnthey commenced the op
crations which General Joffre requested me to undertake.
The line extended along the line of the canal from
Conde, on the west, through Mons and Biiich on the east.
“During Aug. 22 and 23 the advance squadrons did
some excellent work, some of them penetrating as far as
Soignies (a town of Belgium, ten miles northeast of
Mons),and several encounters took place in which our
troops showed to great advantage.
"On Sunday, the 23rd, reports began to come in to
the effect that the enemy was commencing an attack on
the Mons line apparently in some strength, but that the
right of the position from: Mons was being particularly
threatened.
"The commander of the First Corps had pushed his
flank back to some high ground south of Bray and the
Fifth Cavalry evacuated Bliiche, moving slightly (south.
The enemy thereupon occupied Ilinche.
“The right of the Third Division, under General
.I‘Ianiilton, was at Mons. which formed a somewhat dan-
gerous salient, and I dispatched the commander of the
Second Corps if threatened seriously to draw back the
center behind Mons.
“"his was done before dark.
"In the meantime, about five in the afternoon, I re-
ceived a most unexpected message from General John:
by telegram, telling me that at least three German corps
were moving on my position in'front and that a second
corps was engaged in a turning movement from the di-
rection of Tournai. H's also informed me that the two
reserve French divisions and the Fifth French Army
Corps on my right were retiring, the Germans having on
the previous day gained possession of the passage of the
Sanibrej between Charleroi and Nam‘ur.
“In view of the possibility of my being driven from
the Mons position I had previously ordered the rear to be
reconnoitered. This position rested on the fortress of
Maubcugc, on the right, and extended west to Jenlain,
southeast of \f'alencicnnes, on the left. The position
was reported difficult to hold because standing crops and
buildings made the digging of Itrenches very difficult and‘
limited the fire in many important localities. 1t neverthe-
less afforded a few good artillery position.
"When the news of the retirement of the Irench and
the heavy German threatening on my front reached me I
endeavored to confirm it by aeroplane reconnoissance
and as a result of thisl determined to effect a
merit to the Maubeiigc position at daybreak 0n the 24th.“
“A certain amount of fighting continued along the
’ whole line throughout the night, and at daybreak on the
24th the Second Division from‘ the neighborhood of Har-
inignies made a powerful demonstration as if to re-
take Binche. This was supported {by the artillery of
both the First and the Second Division, while the First
' Division took tip a supporting position in the neighbor-
hood of Bcissant. Under cover of this demonstration the
Second Corps retired on the line of Dour, Quarouble and
Praincries. TliegThird Division on the right of the corps
suffered considerable loss in this operation fronil the
enemy who had re- -taken Mons.
“The Second Corps halted on this line, it here they
entrenched themselves, enabling Sir Douglas Haig, with
the First Corps gradually to'witlidraw to the new posi—‘
tion, and be effected this without much further loss,
reaching the line from Bavay to Maubeuge, about seven
in the evening. . ~. - ~ : ~

flank of the Second Corps. With the assistance of cavalry. Sir
Horace Smith Dorrien was enabled to effect his retreat it} a new
position, although having two corps of the enemy on his front
and one threateping his flank. He suffel‘ed great loss in doing so.
“At nightfall a position was occupied by the Second Corps _to
the west of Bavay. the First Corps to the right. The right was
protected by the fortress of Man beuge, the left by the Nineteenth
Brigade in position between Jenlain and many, and cavalry on
the outer flank. The French wore'stillretiring.andIhad no sup-
port except such as was afforded by the fortress of Maubeuge, and
determined edorts of the enemy to get around my, flank assured
me that it was his intention to hem me against thdt place and sur-
round me.
.v
“I felt that not a moment must be lost in returning to another
position. I had Every reason to blieve that the eneml's forces were
somewhat exhausted. and I knew that they had suffered heavyloss-
es. I hoped, therefore, that his pursuit would not be too vigorous
to prevent meetIeCtinginyobject. The operation, however. was
full of danger and difficulty, not only owing to the very superior
forces in my front. but also to the exhaustion of the troops.
“The retirement was recmn creased in the early morning of
the 2th to a position in the neighborhood of Le Cateau and the
rearguard were ordered to be clear of Maubeuge and Bavay by
5:30 a. m. Two cavalry brigades, with the divisional cavalry of
the Second Corps, covered the movement of the Second Corps, and
the remainder of the cavalry division, with the Nineteenth Brigade,
the whole under command of General Aliaiiby: covered the West
flank. g
”The Fourth Division commenced its detrainment at Le Cateau
on Sunday, the 23rd, and by the morning of the 25th eleven bat-
talions and a brigade of artillery with the divisional staff, were
available for service. .1 ordered General Snow to mout to take a
position with his right south 0‘ naiemes. his left resting on the
Cambrai-leaCateau road south of La Chaprix. in this position
the division rendered great help to the effective retirement of the
Second and First Corps to new positions.
“Although the troops had’been ordered to occupy the Cam-
bral-le-Cateaulnndreceis position and the ground, during the 25th,
been partially prepared and entrenched, i had grave doubts—0w-
ing to information I had received as tohthe accumulating strength
of the enemy against me—as to the wisdom of standing mm fight.
“Having regard to the continued retirement of the French, on
my right, my exposed left flank, the tendency of the enemy’s west-
ern corps to envelOp me, and more than all, the exhausted condi-
tion of the troops.'I determined to make a great effort to continue
the retreat till I could put some substantial obstacle, such as the
_Somme or the Olse. between my troops and the enemy and afford
'the former some opportunity for rest and reorganisation.
“Orders were, therefore, sent to the corps commanders to
continue their retreat as soon as they possibly could towards the
general line of Vermand, St. Quentin and Rlbemont, and the caval.
ry under General Allanby were ordered to cover the retirement.
' Throughout the 25th and far intthe evening the First Corps con-
tinued to march 0n Landrecels, following the road along the east-
ern border of the forest of Mormai, and arrived at liandreceis
about ten o'clock. 1 had intended that the corps should come
further west'so as to fill up the gap between'Le Cateau and Land-
receis, but the men were exhausted and could not get further in
without a rest.” \

The above picture embodies an interpretation some Bible scholars give

cial interests among men, culminating in a great cataclysm. They believe
Jesus to" have referred to the same climax in the world's history when He said:
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of
the world to this time, no. nor ever shall be. "
