British to Be Reinforced.
Last week the allied armies were
nursuine an offensive campaign on all
the frontiers now. according to off,
cial news received from Berlin, EN-
neror William Is congratulating his
neople on the success Of the German
arms in the task of putting the "iron
ring" around the allied armies from
Cambria, Department Du Nord, France
to the Vosges, while Lord Kitchener,
the British war minister. came into
parliament with the announcement
that troops from India are being called
to help the British arms in France
and that the British army Is to be i'm
mediately reinforced.
The only consolation offered the
British public was the testimony from
Field Marshal Sir John French. that in
the heavy fighting against tremendous
odds the British troops. who suffered
severely. bore themselves with con-
spicuous bravery
It is already realized that the ter
rible struggle is only at its beginning
and that the German plan of campaign,
openly revealed to Sir William Edward
'Goschen, then British ambassador to
Germany, by Gottlieb Won Jagow, the
German foreign secretary, as shown
by the official paper recently published.
namely, to strike the swiftest and
strongest blow at France. regardless
of Belgium neutrality on any other
hindrance. and then when France is at
Germany's feet for Germany to turn
her attention to the Russian attack, is
being carried through ruthlessly.
Germany in Some Danger.
On the side of the allies whose ef-
forts are devoted to gaining time while
the Russian hosts overrun Prussia. how
over, is the fact that their armies are
still in being and that Germany may
run some danger from their ever
lengthening lines of communication.
That this danger is not negligible is
