THIRD STORY.
PARIS, July 2S.--when General
de Maud'huy blocked the kaiser's
legions in their smashing drive for
Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne, he
scored for France one OF the biggest
victories Of the first year OF the
great war.
The Germans even place this bat
tie first in importance. and their
verdict In this matter might well be
taken. since they. better than any
body else. should know just what
success there would have meant to
them.
Whatever else a victory OF the I'm
perial arms would have meant. 1t
would have brought them in sight of
England. the whole course Of the
war would have been changed and
the result probably have been disas-
trous to the Allies cause.

There are really three gates to the

by far the best since II not only

Paris as well. Against the Prus-

Force, the tattered remnants OF the
Belgian army and General de
Msud'huys Tenth Army, the last
named holding the critical point be-
tween Albert and point 10 the
North of Arras, against the whole
of Won Bulows command.
Military writer's agree the attack
on Arras was probably the critical
moment OF the terrific attempt OF
the Germans to reach the channel
coast. The bombardment Of che city
began Oct. 8 while General de
Maud'huy. just outside the city 10
