the Germans have been so seriously
handled as to make an immediate con-
tinuatlon Of their strategy impossible.
There are two primary reasons why
the offensive movement of the allies
in southern Belgium failed; the ma
ture of the ground and the fall Of
Namur. The allies used three armies
for their operations. Two advanced
on the Ardennes, one from the north,
west and the other from the south,
while the third army moved in the
angle of the Meuse and Sambre rivers
extending southwest from Namur.
The Ardennes is thickIy wooded
and hilIy district, crossed by many
streams. The advantage to the de-
Tenders Is enormous and this fact Is
sufficient In itself to account for the
German success against the two
French armies.
The fall of Namur undoubtedly
drove the third allied force out of the
Meuse- sambre angle, thus completing
the German victory. The mystery OF
Namur's fall is removed If the Ger
mans used against It mass assault
on a scale n,agnified above the from
tai attacks at Liege. Namurs de-
fensss are much more compact than
are Liese's and lend themselves bet
ter to assault by mass formation.
The triple failure In Belgium, Lor-
raine and AIsace Of the French offenv
sive does not speak highly for thu
strategy involved in Paris. Il would
seem that sentiment rather than mill
tary regulations have governed these
Initial plans. German military ability
is entitled to more respect than its
first exhibition at Lieec seems to have
produced in the French capital.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-(11 a. m)-
France must fight for her freedom on
French soil. This is the primary mean
ing Of the operations described In to-
days official reports. The exuberant
feeling during the first fortnight OF
hostiItes that Belgium and Germany
alone would supply the great battle
fields of the campaign, have been
shattered by failure of the allies
plans to take the offensive.
After German repuise at Liese, the
collapse of the German military meth
DDS was predicted; now that the al
lies have been taught the difficulties
Of offensive operations against tho
kaisers war machine, suggestions that
the French defense has gone to pieces
are on everyhody's lips. Both Juds-
ments are on a par.
The first phase Of campaign which
centered about the able handling Of
the Liese forts, went against Ger
many; the second phase whereby the
allies hoped to engage In offensive
strategy, has resulted in Germany's
favor. This Is all the legitimate mean
ing that can be extracted from tho
details that have passed the censor.

their covering positions probably Is a
