The German Advance Checked.

From anti Germanic sources come
dispatches telling of a repulse of the
kaisePs army now striking at Paris,
suggestive, if correct, that the Ger
man advance has been seriously check
ed. Whereas previously it was indi-
Gated that the German lines had been
forced to within thirty miles of Paris,
bending the allied left back sharply. it
is now claimed from Paris and London
that the most advanced position occu-
pied by the Germans is st. Quentin,
which is about eighty miles northeast
of Paris
It is difficult to understand this sud-
den shift in the situation, without ex-
planatory details. The loss of fifty
miles of ground, assuming that the en-
tire German right has been pushed
back that far. can only have been the
result of very severe defeat, neces-
stating the withdrawal Of all the
thanking force on the extreme right to
prevent its possible isolation. 1t may
be assumed, on the basis of the late
London and Paris reports. that the al
lies, taking advantage of the attenua-
ton of the German line in the right
center in the interest Of q speedy
L
flank the French and English, have
struck in unexpected force at a weak
point, changing from defensive to Of
fensive tactics at an opportune mo-
n.ent.
This situation illustrates one of the
dangers that attended the German adj
vance southwark. with speed as an es-
sential object. To lessen the risk of
frontal attack In mass, with
Its certain result of heavy loss. the
kaisers forces have been repeatedly
slanted around toward the west, press
ing in the French English left flank,
and tending to elongate the German
line. 1t requires the most skillful
to effect a series of flank
ing maneuvers of this character with
out pulling the line open at some point,
to give counter-f1anking opportunity
to the enemy. Had there been no seri-
GUS fighting at the German right, in
the neighborhood Of Verdun, it would
have been possible to shift troops to
strengthen this center, but the army
under the crown prince, striking at
Terdun. could not be safely weakened.
If the German advance has been

follow that the attack upon
Paris lie definitely prevented. Doubt
less the German line will be reinforced.
