PREDICTS EFFORT TO
SUBJUGATE ENGLAND
"Times" Expert Foresees What
German Success VIII
Mean.
Special CaJi, Dispatch TO THE srs.
LONDON, August &c.

isiNb'Ns ENhbbHN ~
The Times expert says this morning;
"Along practically the whole French
frontier the French counter offensive
though gallantly conducted, failed The
French are now confined to the frontier
line existing at the outbreak OF the war
Behind this line the allies must now
organize for a defensive war until the
moment comes to renew the attack
The attack quite possibly soon will be
extended to the sea and II not checked
the Germans may seize the northeastern
ports of France"
The expert foresees a German sue
cess will be followed by the annexation
Of al. ports. including the Dutch. from
the Dover straits to Linden as a pre-
limlnary to an attempt to subjugate
England.
az is reasonable to hope. the writer
continues. that the French will renew
the combat successfully beyond Me-
zieres. The French, who are probably be-
hind the Mouse as far as Nerdun, will
have TO defend the river here against
a German attack which has probably
started. The line from Nerdun to Toul
ought to he fairly secure, but between
Toul and Epinal the French Will have
20 fight along the Moselle. Further
south Epinal and Belfort should be able
to hold their own.
"Thc absence of a knowledge of con-
ditions prevents a confident prediction.
hut II conditions are favorable the allies
ought to find the German offensive
possible to arrest"
The writer crtlcses the allies for not
awaiting the German attack in their
prepared positions, but adds that the
offensive Is so deeply ingrained in the
French doctrine of war that no French
general win be able to resist IT,"
The expert thinks that it was a mis-
take not to prolong and reinforce the
Belgian front at Louva!n, compelling the
Germans to fight a parallel battle.
