While French reports say that tbs
French army Is following up all these
Successes 1t would appear. that their
most serious drivisg movement fs
taking place against the German right
wing. which since Saturday last, has
Travelled north faster than IT, went
south. On Friday this wing disposed
of General Won Kluck's army and part
OF General Won Buelow's corps, occu-
pied line which follows the Vesle
and the railway from SoiBsons
through Fismes to the mountains
south OF Rheims. 50
Today, however. these troops must
have gone still further north or east,
as the British official report says
the British cavalry reached that line
today. between SeiE,ons and Fishes,
and that number OF prisoners were
captured.
1t is believed that General Sir John
French. who won reputation as one
OF the greatest cavalry leaders in the
south African war. Will cling to the
heels OF this retreating army as long
as his men and horses can stand the
strain. It Is possible, too, that he
Will get assistance from the French
cavalry. which has not been heard OF
to any great extent during this war
and which Ia credited with being the
equal Of any In tho world.
The French official report refers to
this retirement as general retreat,
and from the rate at which Germans
are travelling It would seem to be
such. although military experts arc OF
tho opinion that they may make q
stand or counter offensive when re-
Inducements which have been sent
from Belgium reach them.
1t Is believed that a portion OF the
German army which 10 falling back
on Revigny Ia almost certain to put
up a hard fight In the forest o. Ar
gonne. where military men expected
General Joffre. the French commander
in chief. to make his defense at the
outset. and which affords splendid
positions against attack.
The Belgian army has become ac-
two again and according to official
reports tonight. is advancing Srom
the forts around Antwerp. It appar-
emily has divided into sections and
has re-occupied both Aerschot and
Malines, where there have been SO
many engagements In the past few
weeks. !.
