DE('E EVERYWHERE.
PARIS. Sept. 21. Bordeaux the
rity to which the French government
has been removed has the aspect of
a royal seat of government rather
than Republican. It resembles Var-
sailles. The desire to build a grand-
oise city is in evidence everywhere.
The streets are broad the squares
spacious and the buildings of large
proportion yet the 250;000 inhabitant-
of the city are insufficient to give It
the appearance of a populous center.
Bordeaux could easily shelter a pop
ulation three times as large.
Bordeaux is situated on the left
bank of the Garonne which forms a
magnificent harbor some GO miles to
the southeast of the mouth of the riv
er. It is 389 miles from Paris. Not
only is It easy of access but it is
favorably placed for communication
with other parts of France and with
Spain. For the second time in its
history it now becomes the provis
ional capital of France. Durlngr the
Franco-German War of 1870-71 the
Government was transferred thither
from Paris and remained there until
the conclusion of neace. i
Flanking Movements.
The Knglish and French' armies seem to be making a desperate
effort to turn the German right wing under General Von Kluek.
Some reports declare that the heavy attack of the Germans at
Rheims was due to the fact that the French have isolated it there-
by endangering Von Kluek 's position possibly even rendering
useless all his marvelous strategy. Bnd weather has greatly
strengthened Von Kluek 's position changing the Oise river into
a. swamp which is dominated by his guns. Originally the. Oise valley
would be the main route for a Freneii attack.
'.On the French right about Verdun it is reported that the
Crown Prince it attempting a Hanking movement. To succeed in
this he must first capture the great Verdtm fortress which pro-
tects this French wing. Observers arc beginning to believe that
the fate of the battle depends upon one or the other of these flank
ing movements.
Tn the center the fighting continues with the odds about even.
The entrenchments of the German center appear to be remarkably
strong.
