Great Armies est
to Rene,r Strength
For Decisive Contest

London, Aug. ZS.-Exhaustion on
The part Of the German troops and
the eonssqusnt necessity Of mo.
mentariiy siaeksning their for
ward movement, 10 offered in some
quarters today ~ IN explanation Of
the absolute silence which has
vsiIsd all the operations in north
srn France, since the desperate
struggle on Wednesday, when
quarter Of . million German SOL
diers tried to hack their way thru
the British lines held by half that
number.
Just a. many other people, how
ever, are convinced that the battle
which Field Marshal Sir John
French, commander in chief Of the
British forces, said on Wednesday
was impending, 10 now in progress,
and that the commanders are now
awaiting decisive outcome before
permitting anything to become
public.
Since Wednesday both British
and Freneh troops have had time
to entrench themselves and their
artillery has been able to find the
ranges over the zones the Ger
mans must traverse in the next
fighting.
Reports that France has formed
new army Of 25o,0oo to take the
offensive against the German right
has aroused much interests they
have not, however, bene confirmed.
A telegram from Easel, Swift
zerIand, declaring that five German
and Austrian army corps are
marching on 0elfort. France, has
not been authsnticated nor has an
other report ts,at the Germans
have been obliged to withdraw a
portion Of their forces in the west
to meet the Russian advance in the
east.
