the Germans are believed to have
planned as their supreme effort
tomorrow being the anniversary
of the battle of Sedan the situa

sidered as favorable. The Ger
mans have thrown forward tre
mendous forces of fresh troops
along the 05-mile line extending
rom Villers, in the department of
Somme, to Montherme, in the de
partment of Ardennes. Also ' the
kaiser's forces hammering against
the allies' center have astained al

and British and on the left of the
allies' line fortune has turned in
favor of the invaders, the Anglo
French being compelled to give
ground.
