which will do down into history as the Liege Of France. It was the re- sistance of this fort that foled the desperate attempt of the German army to open q way to Metz through the country between Nerdun and Epinal. This defeat of the German purpose prevented the Metz army from coming to the assistance of the German left and effectively cut off all chances of a German retreat across the Mouse. The French. by their vic tories along the line between Nerdun and Toule. with the weight of the en- gagement at TroNon. remain masters of this valley.

While the armies of General von ,Kluck and von Beulow are bearing the runt of the fighting north of the Aisne the others not actually engaged on other poars of the line are taking advantage of the breathing spell and if the first line is forced to give way it will be possible for it to fall back upon a second, which, though not refitted nor wholly rehabiliated, at least will be comparatively fresh.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec 9.-If the contending Mexi- forces opposite Naco, Arizona do firing into American territory the three batteries of field artillery to the international line by President Wilson and Secretary of War Garrison will be ordered the fire This the determination of the United States government and be- known tonight after full discussion by the president with his cabinet yesterday
 No specific orders given yet Brgader General Tasker Bsslvho Is directed proceed Naco Arizona with field artillery but while he is there officials pect the sharp warning Maytorena and t1i that bullets and shells fall American soil Similar warnings communicated to Caranza and Villa
 No act of aggression is contemplated explained in statement the White House, today but officials vi in the future draw distinction between aggressive and deen sive action
 For the eleven troops of cavalry and three batteries of field artillery the Mexican line open fire first would constitute of aggression, but remain American soil and return the fire of the Mexcans in the opinion of hqh officials is of defense fully justified under the circumstances and not act of war invasion.
 Although it is not generally known, Brigadicr General Hugh Scott chief of the staff of the when in mand Fl Paso year ago placed his artillery position along the Rio Grande and delivered the warning which was needed
 It is explained at the department that the range of the artillery ordered Naco Arizona is from five six miles Shells could be the Mexican town without inurng residents and into the lines of the Mexican faction which insisted firing into American territory his the plan of officials should their warning prove futile.
 The action of the Washington government constitutes precedent for the future and taken that firing American territory from any point along the border will be met with similar steps from this side of the international boundary line.
