upon vlsltlng the trenches. This was during the British retreat, and his staff was hard put to it to prevent thc old boy running needless risks." Whenever the word went through the ranks that Sir John was around the men Eheered him to the echo.

When the Field Marshal left London for Paris he uu- dertook with what those who know him well say is cliuracterisllc cour- tesy and simplicity, to convey some sniall parcels to her children from a lady, who is a friend of Lady French. Those children were stuck in Paris with their governcss and were about to be taken to the south of France with two or three families similarly situtatcd.

“SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION

Yesterday's cablegrams dealt mainly

with the plans of the Allies in France. On the right the troops were engaged in the hilly district south of Argonne; on the left, under General Pau, they were attempting to cut the lines of communication of General Von Kluck, and a report from Dieppe indicated they had been successful. The General was stated to have surrendered with 25,000 men. The British were engaged north of the River Alsne, their efforts- being directed to the relief of Rliclnis and Laon. The former was reported officially to have been occupied yester- day by the Allies, and should Laon follow suit the Germans would be left with only one line of communica- tion by way of Refhel. Charlesville, to Nomur, and even that would be threatened.

The Crown I’rlnce's army attempted

to break through the lines of the Allies between tho fortified towlis of Verdun and Toul, but failed and was driven back in the direction of the River Moselle.

According to The Times, the loss of

the Austrians in Galicia totals not less than 400,000, or one--third of their forces. ln addition they have lost 1,000 guns, more than two-thirds of their available artillery.

Tile Gernian cruiser llcla was sunk

by a. torpedo, but whore is not stated. Almost all the crow was saved. The German submarine which sunk the Pntlifiinicr has herself been sunk by fire from British ships. These reports indicate that thc fleets have been ill touch, hilt when or \vliere has noi. becn divulged.

They are based on s strong line running from Marne to the fortresses through the hilly coun- try South of Argonne, while the allies left, composed largely of fresh troops with s heavy force of cavalry under General Pau, is wheeling around so as to drive Generals Von Kluck and Von Buelow towards Ardennes and Luxemburg, General Pau's Army. by a few more marches by La-Fere and Loan, might cut the communication between the retreating Germans and

This would assist in forcing the Germans to evacuate Rheims.
