=. EMPLACEMENTS FOUND

The Americans have discovered EN-.
placements for the German super
cannon at Breezy, north of Chateau
Thierry. The guns which were
mounted here were probably used
in the bombardment of the Allied
positions far behind their lines and
possibly also Paris. The despatch

also were found there, and it is
presumed that the enemy had al
ready removed them, preparatory TO

DECISIVE BATTLE STAGED

WASHINGTON, D. C.-According
to dispatches received from the
front today, both the Allied and
German commanders are possibly
setting the stage now for the decisive
battle of the war which will be
fought on the Aisne-Marne front,
the battle taking on more than a
local significance.
The present plans of the Allied
commanders indicate that it is not
the intention to trap the Germans
in the pocket formed by the Allied
advance in this region, but rather
to force them from it.
