Plots and internal disorders of all
kinds are increasing in Bohemia. A
Vienna newspaper says that what is
happening in Bohemia resembles the
lombard and Venetian uprisings in

war machine in France has driven it's

onrushing Germans, but the allies are
still hopeful Of stopping the German
machine before it gets close enough to
fell it with their big guns.
The occupation by the Germans of
Chateau Thiery marks the beginning
of the expected turning movement to-
ward Paris. If the town is taken the
Germans may be expected to move
down the Marine. To do this they
must drive a wedge into the French
lines south of scissors. But the Ger
mans claim that they have already
