PARIS, Sept. ga The formida-

The allies left Is still flinching, ac-
cording to the official communtca-
ion, under the unrelenting blows OF
the Franco-English battering ram.
Even the famous guards as in the
battle Of the Marnc are unable 10
stand the pressure. and are giving 4
little more ground every day.
The diversion attempted in Lor-
raine has proven Intellectual. The
Germans are now making fierce
drive in the Woevre district north
east of Verdun. The object, no
doubt, is to cut off the army operat-
Ing around Nancy, but the Germans
already have tried TO make an ope1-
ing between Verdun and Toul, be-
seiging Troyon at the same time.
The maneuver constitutes a grave
menace TO the allies who are resist
ing desperately and have thus far
repulsed attacks with heavy losses.
That the Germans are losing heav-
lily on their right is also attested by
the constant arrival here of prison
ers and wounded. Early this morn
ing many automobiles were seen
with many wounded, both German
and allies, passing through the
streets, but some OF these were con-
valescents returning from hospitals
and rejotning their corps.
The steady progress Of the allies
left fortifies confidence here. This
