GERMAN TO MAKE
new STAND
REPORT
ALLIES SAY THEY MUST MOVE ON
OUT

London, Sept. 9-The statement in
the German communique that 1--WE are
everywhere in our new positions is
interpreted here as implying that
Ludendorff is of the belief that the
German retirement in now ended and
it is his intention to try to make a
stand on his present line.
1t is reported from Paris that Ger
man artillery today is laundering along
the whole battle front as it has not
done for several weeks and the gen
eral indications are that German coun
ter attacks and other activity will con
firm Ludendorff's supposed intention.
No belief, however, is expressed
here but the Allies are still holding
the initiative and will compel the en-
envy to continue his retirement.
