GERMAN LINE HEIGHTENED.
PARIS, FRANCE, Sept. 1.-The
steady retreat of the allied armies in
Northern France and the Govern
ment's refusal heretofore to send to

line of defense the French shorten
their front and foil the German at
tempt to flank them The further the
Germans are drawn into the country
the harder it will be to obtain sup
plies and the greater the number OF

ing lines of communication.
