FIGHTING IN SOlSSONS REGARDED AS GREAT GERMAN SUCCESS.

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 1S.-Berlin bull letins declare that the Kaiser is per sonally commanding the new German offensive movement against the enemys center.
 At noon Saturday the Germans had punctured the Allies line of trenches near the river Aisne between Soissons and Reims. These trenches were built tier upon tier but were abandoned before the German rushes. Today experts re- gard the fighting in the Soissons region as the greatest military success for the Germans during the past three months
 It is believed that General Joffre's offensive movement is broken down and he will be compelled to fight on the de- fensive. The fighting at the center has been the most bloody of the war in which the French have lost severely by the heavy German artillery which swept their trenches It is estimated region battles amount 10 thirty thou sand killed. The German operations al the center have relieved the allied pres sure on the German left wing in the Areonne-Verdun regions and will check enemy In that direction.

JOFFRE FOilS kAlSER'S
 PLAN OF CONCENTRATION.

LONDON. Jan. 1S.--The Germans have begun their general offensive movement against the allies pressing the second attempt to reach Paris The Kaiser Is on the battle front and Is personally directing the movement of the German armies.
 French owe the present safety of their capital almost entirely to the fact of the Kaiser in the act of withdra wing his reserves from his right and left wings and concentrating them at the center. The German concentra ton which was to he almost east of Paris. was foretoid by the aero scouts and according to semi official utterances to- night was foiled by eGneral Joffre's strategically maneuvering the French so splendidly that the Germans dared not carry out the plan of concentration which would have so weakened the right and left wings that the allied forces would have been enabled to strike effective blows, endangering the whole German battle line. Joffre is given great credit for the manner in which he has met the situation and military critics say that he has un- doubtedly foiled the Kaiser's second at tempt to reach the capital
