LONDON, Sept. 22.-That
the German lines are stagger-
ing under the continued ham,
mering of the allies and that
they are slowly crumbling at
important integral points, is
the consensus of opinion Of the
British military experts who
are familiar with the exact
situation at the front.
It has been admitted from
| the outset that the present
battle of the. Aisne, now well
in. its second week, was . con-
test Of endurance. Despite the
splendid entrenchments Of the
| Germans, it has been insisted
that they suffered greater loss
than the allies, mainly because
of their massed formation tao
tics which present such mag
nificent targets for the opposi-
tion. The failure Of the Ger
man reinforcements sent to
aid General Won Kluck, to
break down the British French
opposition emphasized, tho ex-
perts say, the fact that the
Germans were "at the end Of
their string" Today this be-
lief is confirmed by the an
nouncements that the German
right wing is being pushed
back at a rate of nearly four
miles a day. This speed is ex-
tpected to be accelerated now
that the Germans have been
driven from their strongest
trenches.

PARIS, Sept. 22.-convinced that
Germany now has her entire field
strength available, the high military
officials here declare that within an
other fortnight, or three weeks at the
outside, she will be fighting defens-
i've contest outside Of French territory.
They base this belief upon the re-
ports received by General GalIieni that
the eritish-French turning movement
on the left continues with the Ger.
mans giving ground-siowly and stub
bornIy giving ground. The Ger
man center and left have seemingly
given up the attempt to assume the
offensive and should the left give way,
the inevitable outcome mus be the
abandonment Of their entire present
line just the instant taat It gets ,us
Of proportion with the right.
The fact that the allies now hold
the hills north of the Alsne river
from scissors to craonne proves con-
ciusively, IL is pointed out here, that
the German reinforcements sent to
Won kiuck--not less than 100000
men-have failed to permit him to
assume the offensive. He can man.
euver no additional men without ex-
tending his lines to the west and this
the present disposition Of the allied
forces precIudes 40 they hold every
point Of vantage directly west Of the
German right wing.
Although It may be some days be-
fore the movement can get complete
momentum. the French officials here
declare today there is not the slight
est doubt that the Germans have al
ready commenced withdrawing and
that battle Of the Aisne, the third de-
cisive conflict Of the war to date, 10 to
be settled with a second victory re-
corded for the allies. They openly
assert that the destruction Of Rheims
cathedral emphasizes this belief In
their mind, the German plan Of cam
oa,on to date having been chiefly re-
markabJe for the terrible damage
wrought through motives dominated
by revenge.
Evidences accumulate here TO indl-
cate that the German right has been
forced TO take a position almost north
and south to prevent the turning OF
,ts lines in the Noyne soissons region
and that the entire force Of 100000
