It Is reported hero today that Germany
Is already lnnfiliiR overtures to Hclglum
for an agreement whereby, In return fdr
certain concessions, the war between Bel

Hemmed in On Three Sides
by Belgians, French and
British, Retreat Lies Across

LONDON, Sept. H.
tlemii.ed In on thtec sides of tho dis
trict known as the forest of Argonnc,
a German army Is today In a serious
predicament and awaits either capture or
destruction.
On their front are the victorious squad
rons of British cavalry, to their left, on
the cast, are tho strong forts of Verdun,
with their formidable garrisons, while on
thlr light to the west are tho rapidly
approaching army of Belgians. Only
to the rear lies safety, and the nature of
the country is such that a rapid retreat
means a virtual rout.
The only source of supplies for this
army !s their base of Llego and should
the Belgians appear in sufficient foico
v.-n this thin line of communication will
be broken.
The loss of the lino of communica
tion will probably apply to the German
