New York. Oct. 19-Intimation from

reflect the extreme tense situation pre-

lines of the rival forces are so EXTENDED
that a serious setback along the Belgian

In the event Of a French defeat, the
coast ports would become endangered

TO cnunteract this. the allies would
have to give ground for considerable
distance along their northern formation
In order 10 swing toward the Enghsn

ficacious way of checking the south

The fortified position at Dunkirk. II

That sufficient troops can be spared for
this is improbable.

an important French success. The
possibility Of its capture, after the

bly, the immediate cause OF Berlin's
belief that the French operations are
approaching a crisis.
