LOST Ten MILES
French Defeat Is More Serious
Than They Admit.

By J. ". TAMaaonY

New York. JAM 1.-THE French de-
keat east OF Scissors is more severe
than the Paris Official reports indicate
out not SO overwhelming as Berlinss
comparison suggests.
Instead of a loss of five miles Of ter
rttory, which the French acknowledge
to have suffered. more than ten miles
OF 'front.' has changed hands. The Ger
mans have succeeded in throwing an
arc OF about one-third of & circle about
scissors: but though a possibility ex-
lists that scissors may become q mfnia-
ture Metz, 1t 10 more likely that the
French will be able to keep the south
ern. or western road clear for q retreat.
This they should be able to do with
out difftculty. were 1t not for the DEM
onstrated fact that the Germans have
uncovered an unexpected weakness
about Scissors. How far the weakness
extends 1t is not possible to Judge, but
that 1t can be grave enough to per-
NIT a complete investment so rapidly
az to bottle up the French defenders
seems unreasonable. II scissors falls.
the army ought previously to have es-
capped.
The seriousness of the situation along
the western Aisne- must exert an in
huence on other parts Of the battle line.
The Immediately pressing problem be-
lore General Jo1re is to reinforce the
French position about scissors and to
try to drive the Germans from the
south bank Of the river. New troops
probably are now being rushed to that
section of the battle line, drawn from
other parts Of the front
The disturbed equilibrium at Sois-
sons. however. will probably not lead
to q permanent radical readjustment
OF the allied Offensive. If General
re can save scissors and at most
recover the lost position on the north
