POSITIONS ABANDONED
BY ALLIES IN NORTHERN FRANCE
WHEN GERMANS MAKE TWO
FURIOUS ATTACKS.
Dismissal Of Won Molke Reported
Prince Frederick Reported To
Ee Injured.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Paris.-German resumption of the
offensive was signalled in startling
fashion by the delivery of two furious
assaults.
The first was a series of masset
counter attacks directed at the French
and British line north of the Disc river
designed to break the pressure wbfcf
threatens the German lines of com
munication into Belgium. The actor
in this vicinity was so severe that the
French were compelled to give ground
at several points.
The advanced French and British
positions were assailed and forced t.
withdraw to the more heavily intrench
ed and fortified line of the main body
where the big guns afforded better
protection. The battle in this regior
still RACES furiously, with no decisive
result.
Dismissal of Won Moltke Reported.
Amsterdam-The German Emperor
has dismissed the chief of the genera
staff, Field Marshal Won Moltke
nephew of the famous Gen. Won Molt
Voight Rhetz to that post. Informa
ton from the other side of the German
frontier reveals some of the reported
causes of the dismissal of Won Moltke
who appears to have come into col
lision with his sovereign in regard tt
several important questions of STRAIT
egy. Briefly, if information which
reaches me ON Berlin be correct, the
truth is that the Kaiser wished to sub
ordinate strategy, while Won Moltk'
preferred to postpone any specia
measures against England because
they would have no effect on the stu
alton at this decisive era of the war
The Kaiser's famous order to con
cent ate the best part of the German
army operating in France in an at
tempt to crush the English was no
approved by Won Moltke, who consid
cred that stratgetical necessities of po
sition rendered other plans more eff
fective The Kaiser more recently
wished to detach a large number o.
airships and aeroplanes for raids OF
English towns, but Won Moltke point
ed out that all available aircraft were
urgently needed in decisive wal
spheres. Raids against England maj
now be expected.
Prince Reported To Be Injured.
Milan-Prince Frederick, third sol
of the King of Bavaria, has been con
veyed to Munich, says the II Secolo
He was seriously wounded with shrap
mel in the left side, and underwent al

1914 providing for compensation ot
workmen injured in industrial employ

1t is argued against the act that II

it takes away the right of due process
