EVIDENT THAT TEUTON FORCES ARE
IN READINESS FOR ANOTHER TRY
AT REACHING ENGLISH CHANNEl|,
French Military Critics Give Little Attention Latest
Phase of the Campaign But are Confident the Allies
Will Hold the Kaiser's Men in Check \

Paris Nov. lit is becoming more evident to
French observers that Germany is making max
irnun effort in Belgium to carry her determination
to penetrate the battle line of the allies with frontal
attacks to reach either Dunkrk Calais, the Eng
llsh channel. This attack to be taking place
south of Dixmude. What is described in the official
bulletin as very violent fighting" continued today.
Foggy weather of the last few days has apparent
ly cleared, and the Germans pushing the attack.
Nevertheless, Paris well satisfied with the sit
uation of the allies, and the optimism of the past two
weeks continues unabated.
The German position( however, is given consid-
cradle close study. French military critics. from the
standpoint of strategy regard the German position be-
tween the two adversaries too far from each other
tor united efforts in the operation, favorable
for the that it permits the use of what il
called internal lines" This strategy is simple in the
ory but not always in practice classical example
of the internal lines found in the campaign of 1774
in France.
Napoleon, holding internal lines beat the Austri-
army at point, and then after losing sufficient
forces before the Austrians to hold them in check pro-
ceeded by forced marches toward the Russian army
which he vanqushed in turn. Nowadays railroad
transportation makes it possible to apply this
ct to two points Thousand r1iles apart.
The German railroads in particular lend thera-
selves admirably to this procedure But there
sental differences the French observers point out be-
tween Napoeon's campaign of century ago and that
of Emperor William. The operation today was not
begun in the same manner.
The first draft troops East Prussia was not sent
after victory in France but after German defeat at
Gubinnen further drafts of troops being to the
eastern after German defeats at Augustowo and
Warsaw. Thus, it is not question of falling upon the
second enemy after having beaten the first but rather
of retiring before the enemy in good position, and en-
deavor to limit the successes of another enemy still
better placed.
