PARIS. Aug. 29.-LThe war office
is reticent regarding movements in
the front. The last announcement was
that the allied lines front on the de-
partment of SoInmc, through st.
Quentin and Ardennes.
The Germans hold the greater part
Of the departments of Nord and Pas
de Calavio and evidently they are
planning an assaultlin force from the
Swiss frontier. Two Austrian and
three German army corps with siege
guns have crossed the Rhine, and it
is believed they plan to attack Bel
fort. Evidently they have hope of
splitting the allies and crushing them
between the opposing armies before
the big British reinforcements, now
en- route, can arriye.
The war office expects to forestall
this by retreating sbwly and decimi-
mating the enemy With artillery and
occasionally offensive feints.
Fighting continues today. The
