FURTHER ADVANCE
MOVEMENT SHOWN

London. Aug. 2s.-A dispatch to the
Express from Lille announces that the
advance guard of Germans is now at
Pont-a- Marco and Marchiennes.
This represents" says the Lille cor
respondent. "a slight further advance
movement from Cysoing, where they
were reported Monday.
''rhere was heavy fighting at Mar
chiennes Thursday morning when the
Germans broke through the French
line The allies acquitted themselves
well, however, and succeeded in push
ing the German advance forces back
on their main body. The German ad-
vance forces were also repulsed at
Pont a Marco.
There was also fighting at Journal,
where the Germans were repulsed. 1t
is believed here that the Germans have
occupied Valenciennes but the British
are reported to have driven back the
enemy near Mons.
There is nothing to indicate that
the allies line from Mons to Condo has
been seriously turned.
Trench industrial centers, such as
Roubaix and Turcoing are frequently
visited by German cavalry and are &C =
cupied and evacuated every day"

Is universal testimony that gun for
gun. both the English and French are
superior to the Germans.
THE allies shells burst without fail.
The German gunners find the range,
but their shells frequently fail to burst
and not infrequently miscarry and fall
short. The sheer weight of their
'massed batteries carried them for
ward. =
Their infantry also advanced in
close order and offered a magnificent
mark. Their losses beyond question
are greater than those of the allies but
so unfortunately were their numbers.
They came and came again. All Sun
day the English held their ground. On
Monday morning came the order to re-

ACTIVE DEFENSE OF
LINE Is ABANDONED
BY ALLIED TROOPS

London. Aug. 2s.-The Times mill
tary correspondent in discussing the
situation on the French frontier, says:
THE news that the allies have re-
tired to the line from Lecateau to Cam
bra1 shows that active defense of the
line from Lille to Maubeuge has been
abandoned, and that these two fort
resses have been left temporarily to
look after themselves.
1.-THE necessity for holding the inter
val between the Scheldt and Cambria
and the Sambre near Lecateau Is prob
ably due to the need for holding

If this information is to be relied

simply because the kaiser thought it
would pay him to DO so.
The anti-German leaders are even
said to be arguing that such small
