Continued progress which the French
claim to be making in the Champagne
district and the pressure which the
Allies, without attempting any great
ocensive, are declared to be bringing
to bear ons the German line In the
west have. according to news re-
ceiTed from Holland, induced the Ger

west before the allied forces reach
their maximum strength.
BY day and by night, Dutch news
papers say, big motor cars loaded with
German soldiers are hurrying through
Belgium to the west and troops sent
to northern Belgium are going back to
the trenches. The fact that some
of the troops now passing through
Belgium come from the eastern from
tier suggests to military observers that
the Germans have decided they can
hold the Russians while the Germans
are carrying out their new ocensive
