Genera! Won kluck on Paris in 1914,
when the German artillery and
TRANSPORT could not keep up with the
infantry and the French we're able
20 turn back the invaders at the
marre. Reports from various sec
tors in the last TWO days have in
dictated that the German infantry,
fought without the customary assist
ance Of artillery. To bring up heavy
guns requires time and the Ger
man advance will steadily become
more painful and costly.
While the German lines of com
m~unicetions have been growing
longer, the British have constantly
moved carer their base Of supplies.
It is probable that the line where
stern battle will be given is not far
away from the present position Of
the allied armies.
