BRIMONT STRATEGIC
POINT IN STRUGGE
ALONG AISNE RIVER
Capture Of ortihed Hill
Would Break Won kluk's S
Direct Line Of Communica-
ton With Centre.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The furious
lighting at Rheims indicates an import
ant development OF the Allies efforts to
cut off General Won Kluk's right wing
from the main German army. Won Eluks
line OF communication with the centre is
maintained by the railway that runs from
Loan thirty miles southeast of Rheims.
This railway is dominated by three per-
manent fOrtifiCationS on the hill OF Br-
mont 10 the north of Rheims
If Brlmont is taken by the French, Won
Kluk's direct railway connection with
the central German army will vanish.
keinforcements for him will have to
make crcuitous journey by rail Of three
times the distance now separating the
headquarters Of the German right and
centre. 1t is of the utmost importance
for the Germans to keep open a route
for rapid strengthening of their right
wing at any time that the envcIoping
movement Of the Allies becomes danger
ous. This accounts for the desperate
efforts OF the French to seize BrimOnt
and the tenacity with which the Germans
are holding fast to the hill.
Tho Allies are carefully conrealing the
places occupied during the Disc advance.
The progress reported, If consistent,
must, however, soon begin to tell. AS
yet, these western gains have not coin
cdcd with the French at Rheims II the
Brimont hill falls into the possession of
the French ana at ;he same time the Al
lies reach their objective along the Disc.
Won kluk's position will be in the highest
degree prccariOus. Four highways will
he open to him for keeping in touch with
the main German force but the loss Of
the Rheims railroad will be a serious
handicap, particularly at this time when
the heavy rains have made road travel
50 difficult.
