Allies Playing For Time.

1t is becoming evident that all along
the western line the allies are playing
for time in the hope that the German
assault will become exhausted.
On the diplomatic side Germany is
making renewed efforts to bring Italy
into her camp, because of the Russian
advance and her pressing need for
immediate successes.
The significance of the removal Of
the German military headquarters
from Coblenz to an unknown destina-
tion is difficult to explain, but the
change is regarded as highly interest
ing.
The announcement by a Paris pa
per that fourteen German staff officers
have been captured and interned at
Mines is the first intimation of this
incident. 1t may possibly be signifi-
cant, although it is not said where the
Germans were taken prisoners.
The Prince of Wales relief fund has
passed the ten million dollar mark.
A dispatch from Antwerp to Reu-
ters Telegram company conveys the
following official announcement:
"The Germans are again lombard
ing Malines, aiming at the steeple of
the cathedral, which is a prominent
landmark for miles around.
Certain movements of the German
troops in the direction of Assche, in
the province of Brabant, six miles
northwest Of Brussels, gave rise to the
belief that the Germans were contem-
plating a movement toward Ter.
monde, sixteen miles east of Client.
However, the Belgian troops have
been reinforced on account of the ne.
cessity of preserving control of Was
land. The enemy advanced from Brus.
sells to Assche, but could not penetrate
further north.
