Extrait : "Une grande bataille s'est livrée sur nos frontières de l'Est, du 24 août au 12 septembre 1914. Elle s'est terminée ce jour-là par un succès décisif de nos armes. On n'a pas parlé de cette victoire autant que de la victoire de la Marne; elle est pourtant aussi importante qu'elle ; comme elle, elle a arrêté la marche d'une armée d'invasion."
