Reinforcements Unavailable.

the German attacks, presumably in
the vicinity of Rove, the French, &C
cording to the official communication

Won kluck Division in Peril?
The Daily Mails correspondent in
France reports fighting in and around
Douai, in the department of Nord, rs
miles south of Lille, and considers
that If the French have reached
Douai in force that the situation OF
the German general Won Kluck must
be desperate. General Won Kluck,' -
the correspondent says, has had all
the achievements which can be
spared him and yet finds himself out
numbered at every point.
Offensive Move Believed.
The great effort of the allies, to en-
velope the German right, may, there
fore, be said to be again in operation,
and il is believed that the whole
French column from Roye northward
to Arras is moving eastward against
the German positions.
1t is the same operation that has
been tried repeatedly for the last
three weeks in an attempt to reach
the German lines of communication
and encircle the German army form
ing the right wing or force it to fall
back to Belgium or Gutenberg. The
Germans have had a long time in
which to make their position secure,
so there is a lot of hard fighting ahead
for both the attacking forces and the
defenses. The defensive role is now
apparently being assumed by the Teu-
tons.

In the center, from the Disc to the
Argonne, the two we'll %intrenched arm
les are still watching each other,
ready at a moments notice to meet
attacks or, on The advice of aerial OBJ
servers. to move to some point where
the line is threatened.
Germans Reported RepuIsed.
In the Argonne district, where the
crown princes army attempted an ad-
vance a few days ago, there has been
additional fighting with the result that
the Germans are said to have been
pushed back northward. In Southern
Woevre the French are making prog
ress, but very slowly" against the Ger

but later were forced back
over that river.
In Lorraine on the Vosges there is
no change in the positions of the ar
mics.
