Then the Russian general staff can

London that muddy roads and the lack
of enough pontoOns for bridges have
diminished the speed Of the allies pur-
suit. This, however, is not sufficient
explanation. The real reason must be
that the Germans have been reinforced.
This being assumed, as true, General
Joffre very properly directed a more
cautions advance.
The Germans are in a very danger
GUS position, but it must be remembered
that they probably number more than
10000 and serious blunder by the
allies, resulting for an Over-ardent pur-
suit might easily mean disaster for a
great part Of the latter's forces.
From the allies standpoint, therefore,
it is a good sign that more cautious
policy has been adopted.
An attempt to rival the rapidity Of
the German drive toward Paris would
be in keeping with former Anglo-SaxOn
ideas of the French temperament, but
this idea is one which General Joffre's
calm ability has done much TO disSipate.
The German general staff doubtless
counted on the possibility that impetu-
Gus generalship would lead the French
into some trap of their own making.
1t was just such impetuosity, however

During the course of his activities
for his clients, who were opposing the

IN Oakland. He was released each
time.
Lee claims to have spent $4,000 to

100000 by the arrests.

WILL TAKE YEARS

Finest Fields Of France Left
Wrecked by Tramping
Feet Of Armies

London, Sept. 16.-The kaiser's forces
in France were preparing to attempt a
renewal of the offensive, the war Of
flee stated definitely this afternoon.
Their lines, it was said, had reformed
and they occupied strong positions.
The main front was said to be 100
miles long, with its center north of
Rheims.
The fighting, it was said, was de.
vastating the French Champagne coun.
try and 1t was declared it would be
years before anything like its past pros,
perity could be restored.
Italian newspapers were quoted to
the effect that the Germans had decided
to retire to the Rhine and remain on
the defensive against the French and
British while their main army goes east
to crush the Russians, after which, il
the eastern campaign proves successful
return will be made to resume the Of
Tense in the west.

New York, Sept. 16.-The Germans in
France had ceased their headlong re-
treat today and their line was holding
except at their extreme left.
The left had retired to the Lorraine
fortifications on the German side of the
frontier, running to the southwark from
Metz. This army in Lorraine, is prac-
tieally an independent force and its re-
tirement to the shelter of the perma-
nent German fortifications probably
means that much of its strength has
been detached to reinforce the right
wing of the crown princes army and
the German center north and northeast
of Rheims and the River Aisne.
This line is the invaders critical
strategic position. If the allies break
it the German lines of communication
and avenues of retreat viii be gone.
The fact that the Germans are hold

only mean that they have been rein.
