Dr.. Fridtjof hansen Draws Lesson

Der 21.-Dr Fridtjof Nansen, former
Norwegian minister to Great Britain,
caused a sensation Saturday night in
this quiet and punctiliously neutral
CAPITAL when he stated before an as
sembly composed of prominent mem
bers of the cabinet and students of
Christiania University that Norway s
situation is as precarious as that of
Belgium.
DR.. Nansens proposal for one year
compulsory service in the army was
colby received by the members of the
government, but with cheers from the
remainder of the audience. He used
the fate of Belgium as an argument Tor
more ample preparation by Norway.
IF Belgium had been prepared, he
said, Germany never would have VIC
lated her neutrality, and possibly the
whole war would have been
averted Our position is as serious as

Germans and the French.

elaborated the defenses of the village,
but the French determined to retake it

they were checked by the murderous
fire, but finally they reached the edge
of the village. where they met with
another devastating onslaught. Seven
times they charged before they were
able to drive the Germans from their
trenches and secure the village, which,
however. finally remained in their pos
session with the capture of a big gun
and six mitrailleusss.
In dispatch dated SATURDAY the
correspondent says:
The bulk of the fighting Oh the line
held by Gen. French's command has
been done in inclosed country where
there are many woods that afford
cover on every hill. Consequently it
has been for the most part an artillery
battle.
The German positions were evident
ly chosen long ago, and the work of
intrenchment was begun before the
Germans turned away from Paris. One
indication to support this view is the
fact that most of the German heavy

so far the Germans have had the
advantage in heavy artillery, but the
British have captured three of their
large guns, which We're mounted in
concrete emplacements. and French
guns of big caliber have been hurried
to the front. These are probably now
in atcion, and the allies will soon be
superior in artillery
THE German batteries have ranged
beautifully. When the range was pick
ed up they poured in fire at Il high
rate, and the infantry simply had to
bury itself in the trenches to avoid
humiliation. The casualties from
shell fire have been very heavy on both
sides.
Military men DO not think that the
allies left will move up the valley of
the Disc until the German front to the
north of scissors has been driven
back. The Disc valley is marshy, and,
after the copious downpour of rain the
past week, the river is swollen and the
roads and fields are heavy.
Moreover. Gen. Won kluck has taken
pains that the high ground between
Noyon and Chauny is SO strongly held
as to dominate the whole valley.
THE Germans have made three day
light attacks in an attempt to break
the allies front. where 1t stretches
east and west along the Atsne. All
three attacks have failed. with losses
so enormous that the ground in front
of the allies trenches is strewn with
the enemS's dead and wounded.
Attack in the Night.
The bad morale of having to pass
so many bodies of their dead prompted
the Germans to make their fourth at
tack Friday in the nighttime. The
night was very black, and rain was
falling heavily when the Germans
sought to pierce the lines along Sois-
sons with an attack covering wide
area. The allies received timely warn
ing from the outposts, and repulsed
the attack with a whitening fire. fol-
lowed by u bayonet charge.
