' right is léss than fifty miles from the Belgian frontier,
11121 er since the outbreak of the war apparently have the
people of Great Britain been more reconciled to the idea .. .
that the struggle yet to come will be long and terrible.
When the Germans first began to retreat their rush~
toward Paris hope ran high that come mastcr’ stroke '
would bring complete rent to the invaders. wame-
ever, many observers emphasize that, even should the sex .-
callcd battle line be terminated, the Germans would on»
1y "fall back 011 equally strong entrenchménts -_“' , ‘
There is nahmg from the French battle line tnis
morning to indicate a marked change in the situation.
The fiercest fighting is apparently still centering on that
,part of the battle line stretching due north for about
forty miles in an almost straight line from Roye. The
vicinity of the little town of Albert again has been the
scene of vigorous action, where the allies claim progress;
and. the latest announcements asserted that the remainder
‘ of the vast line was quiet with the exception of the
reg1on around St Mtbiel from which the Germans were
driven from their southernmost lodgmeut. '1-
