impression that the Germans are
being worsted in all encounters,
and that the losses of the French
and their allies are trival. The
progress of the war as indicated
by the places where the different
engagements occur shows that tlie
German at my is gradually advanc-

is fought soon, as it is generally
expected will be, it will lie largely
due to tlie agressivenoss of the
German army. In it manner, it

Germans to get there, and there
