The rout of the Prussian guard in
the action about Vitry-le-Francods
does not necessarily mean that the Ger
man center has been pierced ire
trievably. 1t is thought rather that
the guard had become detached. and
that this was merely an incident Of
the big engagement which has been
fought about vitry as the center Of
The line for the last three days.
Preceding this spectacular climax
of the days fighting, the Germans
who had been reinforced strongly had
been battling with the energy of re-
vived strength to regain the ground

five day engagement.
Desperate Attempt to Hold Center.
The main effort of the allies was di-
rected toward holding the center of
the line, which. according to the war
office announcements, they did in sup
erb fashion.
The injection of the element of fresh
troops into the situation on the Ger
man side failed to have the effect
desired. according to reports from the

suffering from the detection. which
seems to have replaced the display Of
spirit so evident in the earlier fight
ing.
Difficulty has been experienced by
the Germans in bringing UP anmuni-
ton and supplies, and this has caused
much more credit to be given to the
report that an extremely strong Brit
ish expedition has been pushed for
ward from Ostend and that the Ger
man lines of communication have been
seriously threatened,
1t is stated that the retreat OF the
German right beyond the Ourcq and
the Marne rivers previous to the bat
ties of today was due entirely to this
surprise movement. although it Is not
known here at what point the flanking
attack was delivered. This movement
If such there be, is calculated to play
the most important part in the great
general battle. For with this progress
the German rear will be threatened,

army will be effectively entrapped far
