What THEY MEAN
By J.,w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-(ll a. nj
There are indications that the German
army in France no longer possesses a
right wing. The reports OF the move
ments of both the allies and the Ger
mans are confusing, but they seem to
indicate that a new German force un-
der General Won Boehm from the north
has got in touch with Won Kluck and
what was formerly the German right
wing has now become complete bat
tie line.
If these indications are correct. they
mean the German position is now in the
form of hollow square. The southern
face of the square is the main battle
line which Won Kluck and Won Bochm
presumably have made by joining their
armies; the northern side is formed by
the German corps in Belgium and the
eastern side is the German frontier.
The effort to break the square along
Won Kluck's and Won Boehm's western
side is. now occupying the attention OF
the allies who hitherto have been try
ing unsuccessfully to turn the German
right. There is no more German right,
if Won Boehm and Won Kluck are in
touch and instead of an enveloping
movement around the German wing, the
allies must try TO move thorugh a
heavily entrenched battle line.
The chief strategic position Of the
German battle fronts is their point of
contact where the southern side of
the German square meets the west
ern. This is in the angle formed by
the Disc and Aisne rivers. Il Is here
that the allies report they are meeting
with the most determined resistance
and cannot make headway
Such naturally follows from the
new German alignment. II the Ger
man square is pierced at the angle of
the two battle fronts. both lines
would be broken. The army whose
front extends northward would be
separated from the battle front run
ming TO the east and both might be
thrown back in a rout. II is proba-
BILE that Won Kluck's present duty is
chiefly to hold this angle at all costs
leaving the direction of the new
northern battle line 10 Won Boehm.
The problem now before the allies
is more difficult than it was when the
battle of the Aisne began. To pierce
battle front as skillfully entrenched
as the Germans are requires far
greater power than to turn a flank
If the German right wing has beer
merged into an extended line running
TO Belgium. direct assault must b'
made by the allies, unless their ar
tillery proves more effective than 4
has hitherto been. This will cause
enormous losses, but the German,
probably cannot be driven out o
France by any other means.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-It was
officially announced at the White
House today that there will be no
change in plans for the removal of
American troops at Vera Cruz by rea-
son Of the present trouble between
Villa and Carranza.
The announcement that there was
no change of plans for evacuation Of
Vera Cruz also included the state
ment that the embargo on arms
across the border would not be re-
newed at this time. II was pointed
out by administration authorities that
lie has never been any part of the
United States policy to control set
Element of Mexico's internal affairs.
High officials were inclined TO regard
the present break as temporary
eruption which was bound TO come
sooner OF later, They believe the situa-
tion will work itself out satisfactorily.
Carranza's attitude has not been en-
tirely pleasing to his administration
I friends This break represents con-
ilict Of ideas, caused by Villas stand
against predominance Of military rep
rescntatives in the forthcoming Mexi
can election. Villa, according to official
reports received here. has felt that the
reforms desired in Mexico would not
be accomplished under such system of
representation.
The conflict was not regarded with
particular distaste by the administra-
tion today. Authorities felt that its
outcome will be the peace thev have
sought. To this end they were disin-
clined to take a strong hand TO stop the
present difficulties. The administration
representative, Carothers, however, will
keep tabs on Villa as in the past.
Latest advices of the War Depart
ment are that villa has an army Of at
least $4,000 trained cavalry

exaggerated.
