LONDON, June 26.--There is a
pause at the present moment on both
battle fronts ON the continent. The
British public, with breathless ex-
pectancy, awaits the next move. II
is conceded that this move is Ger
many's, and that It may be made
against either Warsaw, Paris or
Calais.
German activity reported In the
Argonne may indicate a drive on
Paris. but the closing Of the Belgian
frontier may mean the transfer OF
veterans from the eastern front for
another attempt to break through to
the English channel. Many persons
believe, however. that no great often
siys movement will be attempted
along the western front until another
effort has been made to reach War
saw, against which position the Ger
mans are said to be bringing big
guns from Essen.
No great activity Is to be noted along
