The Germans, however, were
unable to make any impress
sion on the French position
which had been heavily rein
forced.
In general, the military ex-
Iperts declare there is no cause
for alarm. It is to be expected
that the Germans will endeav-
or to remain on the offensive
las long as they can. .But they
are at the limit Of their re-
sources so far as men are con-

large number Of reserves and
