LONDON, September I.


LONDON, September Z.
Military experts hero believe that the
battle now being waged on line east
from Paris will have an enormous effect
upon the possible German investment Of
Paris, as well as upon the outcome Of
the German campaign against France.
The swing of the German fourth
army across the north of Paris and
It's start south on a line east OF Paris
are taken TO mean that the Germans
realize that they cannot safely invest
Paris with the French armies intact
So they have determined to crush the
French armies operating IN the cast
and then return to besicge Paris.
Some Of the more hopeful military
critics believe that the strategy OF this
move means an attempt to protec, the
German rear and open up retreat
through the Mcusc district.
But others who bear In mind the
supreme aggressiVcness of the German
campaign against France believe that
the move is planned to cut OFF from
Paris the French eastern armies and
then, with those armies surrounded ON
the west. east and north, TO cut them
10 pieces.
