ALLIED SUCCESSES MUSE BE
CAREFULLY PLANNED.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The situation
o nthe fighting front in France is sum-
me dup by tn Reuterh correspondent
with the French Allies as follows:
We have arrived at thestage in this
battle which Germany reached at the
end of March, and early in June otter
the long, bloody and exausting advanc-
es on the heels of inferior opposing
numbers
We counted firmly on the arrival of
moment Whe nthe reserves would be
able to check the German advance and
prepare flank attacks which have by
their success restored the initiative to
US.
The enemy in turn susing that wea-
pom against us. His reserves are not
yet exhausted and however he may
grudge the necessity fhaving to
waste them in a defenseless battle
which in the end is only the prelude
to retreat. He may still posses thirty
fresh divisions as well as four hun
bred thousand youths fthe 1920 class.
Our successes must be carefully
planned and manfully won.
