The fall OF Amiens, the experts add.

standpoint. Because of its importsn

Its loss would mean hacking the

In view of this situation. the allies

say. Lacking full information of the

France and England have been

hastily. Whether this reserve will
be used only to stem the Teuton tide
is not now evident. but it is of suffi-
cient strength TO accomplish at least
that and it may be large enough to
hurl back the German.
The latter is a moot question here.
