The only possible Interpretation would

this belief IS difficult.

the advantages are reported, are south

Indications are that there has
been some hard fighting in the vicinity
OF Lille. but the report that that city
has fallen is denied. The new War
Minister. NJ Millcrand. and the chiefs
OF divisions nave decided to make
Paris perfectly intrenched camp.
The measure Is said to be- purely pre-
cautionary with the object of insurlng

The line on the north is twenty-five
miles within the French frontier and
behind the Valenciennes-M aubeuge line
to which the allies were driven in their
