have many times been In difficulties.
II is reported that Gen. Won Moltke
and members OF the German general
stan have been at the actual front
on the German center, and left. IL
this Is true there il no doubt that
they have been inspecting the ground
with view OF changing their present
plans and there Is growing feeling
that the Germans may attack from
some unexpected quarter, But II is
also certain that the French are pre-
pared for this and with the fighting IN

ness unexpectedly develops.
So confident Is Gen. Gallieni that
there will be no further attempt
against Paris In the near future that
he already has sent a very consider
able portion or the defense army back
into the field. The gunners remain
at their positions In the forts and
there are strong detachments In the
concentration camps. But the large
force that was massed on the north
eastern section Of the city Is now at
its post on the fighting line. BY this
maneuver the FreSch were able to
support the British and so reinforce
them that the French left wing now
outnumbers the retreating German
right more than two TO one.
The majority Of the wounded Ger
mans who are being brought into the
city are suffering from bayonet
wounds, They declare the British
have resorted almost exclusively to
the steel In the recent lighting. Their
methods are to shell the German
trenches at length. utilizing all OF
their artillery. Then the entire Brit
ish line charges. The majority OF
the Germans admit they have been
unable to Withstand the ferocity of
this character OF attack. They de-
scribe the British as wild men who
refuse to be checked even with
shrapnel. Especially terrifying are
reported to be the Irish and Scotch
regiments. The rivalry between
these two nationalities is acute, and
cuisines itself the Irish can be de-
pended upon to attempt to eclipse II
at the next opportunity.
The French and British aviators
are again distinguishing themselves.
Their work has been wonderful and
they have suffered very few casual
ties. In the earlier stages of the
lighting along the Ourcq and Marine
rivers the Germans caused very heavy
losses to the allies by the accuracy
OF their shell IRE from masked bat
teries. The aviators located them
after q short time and their reports
were 30 accurate that II was not long
before dozens Of German guns had
been shelled by the British artillery.

OF the British army has Its artillery
