Along Present Lines Would Permit
Germany to Menace England.

London, Aug. 2s.-The Times milf
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
brai shows that active defense of the
line from Lille to Maubeuge has been
abandoned and that these two fortress
es have been left temporarily to look
after themselves.
"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 Me-
zieres. Once this point goes or the
Meuse between Mezieres and Verdun
is penetrated by the invaders. the whole
system of frontier defense of eastern
France breaks down and II the HELD
armies are inferior to the enemy Moth
ing remains but ,rstreat.

Tended 1t should be most difficult to

which are provided with permanent
fortifications, but we are not at that
point yet.
The line from Leceteau to Cambrai
must expect an enveloping attack on
the north, but this attempt will prob
ably fall. 4.-s
We have every right TO expect sue
cess today, but II We do not win de-
cisive victory We must abandon our
bases on the coast north Of the mouth
of the Sambre and shift further south,
either to Havre or Chefhourg.
England Fears Aircraft.
'1f we are unable to resume the Of
fensive and beat back the German at
tack from the north, one consequences
will be that the Germans will establish
aircraft stations along the straits OF
Dover and thereby be able to keep US
under constant observation.
1--WE must meet this by counter at
tack with searchlights and anti-aircraft
guns. Sportsmen should make up prac-
tice parties for airship shooting.
"The German could also mount their
heaviest guns at any port they seize
and once more there will be an army
encamped on the heights Of Boulogne.
"Let us, however. be grateful for
mercy. The international financiers'
doctrinaries and lunatics who wish to
fit US out with q channel tunnel are ST.
fenced for good and all.
