GERMAN PLAN OF
ATTACK Fooled

From the French Ministry

ton in War Zone.

Paris, Aug. 15.-An official COM
munication issued this afternoon by
the French ministry of war reviews
the situation to date. 1t says:
I'm order that the opinion of France
and elsewhere can have a just view
and not be lost in the details of news,
it is of advantage to lay down in
broad lines and without seeking to
judge in advance, the development of
events and to classify the results re-
quired.
I'VE know from the declarations of
German strategists such as Bern
hardi, Fallkenhayne and Won Der Goltz
that the German plan provided for a
quick attack on the first line upon
our covering troops to the north of
Nancy
I'VE know equally without any
doubt that a second sharp and quick
attack was to have been, made by
passing through Belgium and then i'm
mediately striking at the French from
tier. A positive proof OF the verify of
this double plan is found in the in
dividual cards of mobilization direct
ing the German reservists from the
fifth to the fifteenth day OF mobiliza-
ton to join their regiments in French
cities such as Verdun, Rheims and
Chalons- Sur Marine.
This double quick attack failed.
That directed against Nancy was not
attempted in its entirety, the Germans
finding our forces too strong, re-
nounced the plan"
