BY GEORGE cLEMENcEAU

BORDEAUX, Sept. H.
The plan OF the German general stafS is
completely defeated. When the gallant
Belgian army retarded tho progress yf
the German advance for twelve days the
Kaiser persisted In his original pI,n Of
rushing on to Pdrls from the north which
showed q striking lack OF resource and
foresight on the part Of the Kaiser and
his advisers. They never seemed to tal,.
into account the fact that IL once the
German forces arrived before Paris they
would be far removed from the base pf
operations, with infuriatel people In their
rear, and that they then had reached
only the beginning Of a now cnrnpaipn.
