Alene continues to be a draw? In the pause of the .
ized by the British War Oificc, gives details of the actions
closing with the crossing of the Alsne, but only the most
~ meagre communications haVe been issued concerning the
lighting of the last two days.
Roughly speaking, the line of the advance of the al-
lies Is threat. l by six rivers. four of which already have
, been crossed; In the crossing of the Marne, marking the
’assumptlon of the aggressive by the allies, was purely a
rear guard action, in which Gen. von Kluck cleverly kept
the German. right. from being outflauked. So far as the
Blitisb were concerned, the passage of the Aurcq was not
‘ contestetb The Veslc River was only lightly defended by
the Germans while, as is now well- known. the resist-
ance of the Germans at the Ajsne was and still is bf the
most stubborn character on both the French and British
fronts.
if the allies hold the ground across the Aisnc,
which they gained despite the heavy artillery fire from
concealed German batteries on p18 heights above the river,
two more rivers, the Ailette and the Oise, remain to be
crossed The country bctweén the Aisnc arid the Allcttc
‘ is ideal for defensive purposes and if the German army
holds the Aisne heights for it few days defensive works ‘
can be constructed along the other -two rivers which
may delay the allies’ advance on German territory for a
long time.
On the other hand If the Germans resume the ofiem
sive the country now occupied by them afiords an excel-
. lent operating base.
It; Is clear from reports coming in from the allies that
the victory in the battle of the Marne and the assump-
tion of the offensive had a tremendous moral effect on
_ the ItrauooeBritisjh armies. .
Berlin acknowledges that while Gen. yon Hidden-
‘b’ergs brilliant and daring movement across the border
lake was successful in driving back Gen Rontlenkainpfs
forces. the Russians were not completely outflanked and
thé previous East Prussian victory against the Russians
was not duplicated, as the Russian general retired in‘ good
order, saving his artillery. V ‘
