1T will serve to Illustrate to every
one the marvellous success with
which inventors, manufacturers
and workers turned from the arts

For years Germany has been Sc
cretly making and storing vast ac-
cumulations Of every engine of war
and article OF equipment, confident
that by their means she could at
her chosen time obtain world mas

The industrial achievements Of
millions of patriotic men and wO-

London, Sept. The progress
Of tremendous events on the battle
front in France is being followed
with almost breathless CagernesS
by the whole British nation The
mos significant feature Of Tues
DAYS developments was that the
German attempt to restore the po-
sitiGn at WOtan line did not ND
teriaIize. The failure OF the en-
envy to make such an attempt APP
parentIy is attributable TO the
speed and energy with which Field
Marshal Haig's armies were able
to press the advance on the retir-
ing army. Informed observers,
however. continue TO speculate Oh
when and where The enemy viii
pull himself together
Disastrous as the blow already
has been to German prestige and
S riOusly as the German position
is endangered, experts here are not
expressing anticipation of an carly
debaCle and admit the probability
of some defenses being organized
behind the enemy lines in an at
tempt to check the allied advance.
Some German prisoners taken ia

impending arrival OF a great re
serve army under General Won
Nackcnsen. who viii turn the
tables on the allied forces, but OBJ
viOusly it is impossible here 10
throw any light on such reports.
Whatever the future may hold the
.,.. rsrs
of extraordinary promise for the
allies and containing the possibiI-
ity of the compulsory abandonment
of the entire northern German
front, including the Flanders coast
While featuring the dramatic de
veIopments on the BRUSH front
commentators do not neglect 70
emphasize the great Importance OF
the operations on the southern end
of the battle line where the French
and Americans are holding against
large enemy forces and making
progress. French official cOmmun-
iques deal almost lacOuically with
these operations but their value as
contribution to Germany's de
feat are not overlooked here.
Recognition equally is given to the
incaicuIable bearing on the entire
situation of the presence of the
rapidly growing American army.
The military critic OF the TeIe-

of the Germans organizing reserves

subject with the remark that the
