There was nothing today to indicate

case heretofore when the struggle
along the vast battleline in France
has been most acute, today the pub
lie interest, in Germany as well as in
France and England, has been forced
to content itself with the most meager
news of the progress of military op-
erations. Experience has shown that
extended statements are issued only
after the retirement or temporary de-
feat of one or the other.
The information this morning sets
| forth laconically that the battle is
raging with great fierceness along the
whole front, which extends, roughly
| speaking, from the River Disc near
Noyon, to the German fortress of
Metz, but, barring slight retirement
of the German right wing at certain
points, no decided advantage is cred
tied to either side.
Presumably the efforts of the allies
have been divided into three supreme
struggles: First, to dislodge the Ger
mans from the heights of the Aisne
second, to break through the fourth
and fifth German armies at the cen
ter; third, to outflank the German
right under General Won Kluck. The
position of the fourth and fifth Ger
man armies is considered not so
strong as the remainder of the line,
while if the thanking movement is
successful the railroad lines on which
the Germans depend would be cut.
Germans Lose 5000 a Day
The German losses are estimated at
1920 daily for the last fortnight. This
totals more than $4,000 since Septem-
Der 4. AS the losses of the allies are
known to have been tremendous and
adding the terrible losses suffered by
the Austrians in Galicia, some idea
may begained of the extraordinary
sacrifice of mea during these first
few weeks of the modern worlds
greatest war.
Peace Talk Resented
: Preliminary talk of peace seems to
be resented by the British public.
While the pact recently signed by the
allies insures concerted action, when
it comes, in the direction of peace on
their part, the dispatches from Wash.
ington relative to the attitude on peace
of DR.. Won Bethmann Holleweg, the
German chancellor, was conveyed
through the American ambassador at
Berlin together with dispatches from
Rome saying that Austria-Hungary de-
sires peace, have aroused considera-
hls discussion here, and editorial ar
ticles already have appeared saying
z that peace on any terms is out of the
question until what is styled "the men
ace of German militarism" is crushed.
