Teutons were to strike southwark. east

French. From this strategical throne
the foe was to be ordered backward.
Here between the Rheims and Auberive
on the Champagne front. is the key to
staggering stratcEical possibilities. Ire
mendous masses OF men and guns had
been herded behind the German lines.
Tuesday was the day on which the
French government was to be heckled
by thirty-fve interpeIlators and the
storm was to break loose.

early last week when the Germans put
out their feelers in initial counter-at-
tacks what was coming. He decided to
forestall the crafty old man OF the
Mazurian Lakes" And he did.
