Real consequences
OF lickinu Unseen

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE. Aug. 5.-The allied victory
is developing and the entente forces
are reaping all the benefits possible
from it. The adventure Of the Ger
man crown prince has begun to COL
lapse lamentably in a def at, the con
sequences OF which cannot be deter
mined at present.
Last reports from the front state
that large German units and masses
OF artillery were transferred to the
other side OF the Aisne. All the
bridges over the river have been blown
up. The allies are believed to have
occupied virtually the whole Vesle line
and even to have crossed on the ex-
treme right wing near r , ms. They
hold bridgehead on the north bank
OF the Aisne on the othef extremity
OF the line near Scissors.
II is an interesting question il the
allied commanders will permit the
enemy TO establish himself quietly m
his new positions. This does not seem
likely al present.
