Hundreds were Killed and large numbers captur- ed. Afterwards General Von Wluck and his stall officers sent up reinforce ments and the German divisional of ficers succeeded in rahlying their men abd sending them to a counter at tack; but the French infantry gaiped ground as' far as La Chavatte, and ueneral Jolire has himself announced that the Germans' violent efiorts regain their position have been pulsed and shattered. The net has closed in upon them, and all their struggling has now on- ly made it bulge out into prepos- terpus shape, which cannot be called line. The German front on the right wing 'is a series of erratic curves and sharp angles into which the French have driven wedges. To the extreme north the flank aftack of the allies is threatening their main positions in the centre, which will spon become untenable. Low- er down on the west "their drmy corps are practically divided by French columns. At Lassigny, ac cording to the news already pub- lished, a large force of. Germans is entirely surrounded. The Germans' only hope mow lios in the trenches, which théy have been digging for the last fortnight and the heavy masses of men they are withdrawing from the éentfe to strengthen their right wing and their long line of communications. It was for this purpose they made h violent attacks upon the British lin- ¢3 as those described in the official report of a staff officer under Sir John French. That tremendous can nonade was to mask the westerly movements of their reserves behind ie me " so . aS a the lines.

At the present moment the allies fre in their best form, tuned up, as one of them described it, to the top notch of enthusiasm. The fact that the Germans were balked of their entry into Paris has been worth a new army corps to General Joffre, It lifted a heavy weight from the back of the French soldier. It broke {the broad spell of the enemy's ad- jvance and restored: self-confidence Now he is sure of victory and he counts his own life as nothing so that France may be liberated from the barbarians who have laid waste to 20 many of its villages and de stroyed so much of its beauty General Joffre can do anything he likes with his soldiers, demand from them superhuman courage and durance, count their utter self-sac riflce because, like 'soldiers of Na poleon, they are now sure of their own power and are fired with the spirit of la glorie.
