BRITISH EXTENDING
FRONT IN BELGIUM

New York, Sept Little British

tending thus releasing the French for
service elsewhere. The British lately
have held the territory from North Of
Ypres to LaBassee Reckoning IL man
to be foot, thirty miles would require
100000 men, although two months ago
it was announced that the British had
upwards Of 100000 men in France This
number would be sufficient to defend
hundred miles.
Now it is reported that the British
hold fully a hundred miles Of front
This probably is greatly exaggerated.
From the sea TO scissors is about 1876
miles. That the British hold 50 per
cent of This territory is extremely inn
probable. If the French were so largely
relieved, IL would be inexplieable how
the Germans were able TO make respect
able gains in the Argonne.
The British possibly have added
twenty miles to their front, so as to
have II terminate south Of Arras. Heavy
replacement of the French by the Bri-
tish will not occur until the British
ammunition situation is improved. They
must remain concentrated because o
successful offensive movement would
require at least $1,000 men a mile.
