KAISER'S STRATEGY
IGNORED BY STAFF,
DANISH PRESS SAYS
Emperor's Alleged Battle
Plans Would Leave Gen
erals Without Any Armies.
Marne Retreat Near Disaster.
PARIS, Oct. 22.
The Danish press Is quoted ns authority
for .1 report that there was n dlsagiee
nient between the Kaiser and the Qer
' man hendquarteis staff after the battle
'of the Maine. The Kaiser's continual In
Junctions that the offensive be taken In
the battles In France raised discontent,
uneasiness and objections anions the
jtaff, and thr Kaiser's strategy neatly
changed the Marne rcticat Into a catas
trophe. The Knlser Insisted thnt the left wins,
although strongly threatened on the
flank, should continue to advance. A
calamity was avoided by the non-execution
of the Imperial command.
It was nald In Berlin that the Kaiser
on learning of the retreat of the Prus
sian Kuard at Vltry-le-Francols said to
Ms suite:
"What, the ueneral von Hansen still
living? A samurai would have acted
folherwlse."
t This )hr..se ounk In the hcatts of the
Gei nun generals.
Stories are revived of the Imperial
strategy ns shown In the grand maneu
vers. In 1597 Count von Haesler said to
a member of the Reichstag after the ma
neuver. "The grand battles arranged by tho
Emperor are magnificent only In their
defects. They terminate like the legen
dary combat of the two lions, only their
tails remaining on the battlefield.
"If tho Triple Alliance entered a cam
paign under command of tho Kaiser,
with the Germans and Austrlans flght
Ing side by side and the Italians forming
the rear guard, I fear that the Italians
would most likely play the role of grave
diggers If they escaped decimation by
tho plasue. In my humble opinion the
dead never enter Into his Majesty's calculations."

By J. W. T. MASON
Ni;V YOUK, Oct. 22.
The Allies are continuing to press tho
German line slowly backward In Belgium,
but there Is no eldcnce of fuither gain3
In Northern France.
Lille, whli h Is the (.entrc of the Ger
man advanred entrenchments, Is being
dCMppiatcly held, to serve apparently as
a pilot. North of Lille the Germans are
giving ground. At one point on the Bel-
glum border, Warnoton, the Allies nre
only five miles to the west of tho .Lille
perpendicular, while three miles farther
north, at Menin, they havo swung a mile
or two past tho Lille line.
South of Lille, however, no gains haio
been reported. The brief progress eabt
"ward In tho French pivotal movement
from Arras has been forced to a stand
still by despcrato German resistance at
La Bassee. Tho Immense Importance to
tho Germans of saving their communica
tions from a French eastward swing st
Arras apparently has led to a larger con
centration of General von Bochn's army
south of Lille than to tho north. If tho
Germuns can do so, they will hold Lille
aa a pivot for themselves, Just as the
French are using Arras, 25 miles to tho
southwest, for that purpose.
If the pressure of the Allies In Belgium
becomes too strong for resistance along
tho present line, the Germans probably
will bend their northern line backward;
that Is, to tho cast from Lille. South of
Lille they will endeavor to hold their
front in its presont perpendlculur.
Thla strategy. If continued, will eventu
ally lead to the Germans being pushed
back along Northern Belgium to Antwerp.
This battle front, by following n zUzag
course, will afford the beat protection to
their communications that the circum
stances allow. Their line can bend north
east from Lille to Antwerp without en
dangering their main railway supply
system.
Hut, once tho Allies begin to make per
sistent progress to the east south of
Lllltj, and particularly from Arras, great
danger will force the entire German hold
on French territory. Liege, where tho
chief German communications enter home
territory, Is almost due east of Lille. The
zone of safety for tho Germans, there
fore, Is south of the Lllle-Llege parallel.
For this reason the Germans must pie
vent nt all costs an Allied advance In
force below Lille. To tho piescut they
have been, on the whole, successful In
this effort. They must continue thlB
strategy, even nt the expense of losing
all Belgium from the boundary north of
Llllo to Antweip or upyond. Kvtenslvo
advances by the Allies north of Lille
would not, under present circumstances,
be decisive; south of Lille is the area
that must be watched for developments
of major stiatcgy.

By E. ASHMEAD BAIITLETT
DL'.N'KIRK, Oct. 22.
The progress of the Allies In Belgium
has been most marked during the last
few days. Every one Is talking victory,
and I cannot find a soul coming from the
fighting line who any longer fears the
German offensive, either against the
northern puts of France or further south.
The consensus Is that Von Kluk's army
will be beaten and that he Is now In
full retreat. That Is to s.iy, he Is not
hurrying, but Is concentrating all his
efforts safely to withdraw the exhausted
armies to the line of the Sauibre and
the Mouse. The line of the Sambre has
been strongly fortified.
A general who Is not given to boasting
told a friend of mine that he considered
the position of the allied armies better
than It has ever been, and that the Ue-
moralizatlou of the Germans is grow
ing greater day by day. He added:
"We most certainly will be In Brussels
under a month. I, noself, expect it
to be a fortnight.'
There has been a general advance all
along the allied line. The army advanced
from Roulers and drove back the Ger
mans a considerable distance. Every
where along this line the Germans are
retiring, offering little resistance except
with artillery.
They are covering the retirement of
their masses of half-demoralUed, half
starved Infantry by well-bimalned ar
tillery firo. and have uted heavy guns
to great advantage. In fact, the only
formidable branch of the German army
at present seems to be the heavy and
field artillery.
A great many prisoners have been taken
by the Allies during the last few days.
Thoee capture 1 in Belgium declare, with
out exception, they thought they were
fighting in France and were only 30 kilo
metres from Paris. This Is tho story
they were told eiery day b officers to
induce them to make greater efforts to
retrieve the rapidly declining- fortunes
of the grand army
The French believe that directly It be-
o ics generally known by the army that
they are back on Belgian soil, a general
reaction will set In and the troops be
come even more demoralized than they
nppcar to he at present.
There Is no doubt the Allies now have
pot the whip hand and should succeed
In driving the Germans out of France
nnd western Belgium within a few weeks.
Ostcnd certainly will ho reoccuplcd
within a few days. But for the d"
laycd retirement of the Belgian army
from Antwerp there wns no reason why
It should ever have been abandoned.
If It Is the enemy's eventual Intention
to hold the line of tho Meuso nnd the
Sambre, the conquest of Antwerp Is of
hut the Kiunllest value to them. Between
Antwerp and the Meusc is a sttttch of
cpen country with no defensive posi
tions Antwerp must, therefore, either be
abandoned or Its garrison Isolated.
Once tho Allies re-enter Brussels, un
less the unexpected happens and the Ger
mans nre able to bring great reinforce
ments from the Russian frontlor, they
must fall back In France nnd Belgium,
owing to tho tremendous pressure against
their right wing.
By a FRENCH CRITIC
PARIS. Oct. 22
Information received In Paris from the
front Indicates that the activity at points
other than In the north Is Increasing
dally. The frequent rains, with their dis
comfort to tho troops, have had a ten
dency to force the fighting. The Germans
would appear to havo selected 5 o'clock
In the evening as the hour for their
heaviest attack nt certain points where
rapidity is not essential and where tho
battle is In the nature of a siege.
French newspapers today mention tho
success of the allied artillery near La
Bassee and St. Mlhlel. the extraordinary
vigor with which the allied Infantry ap
proach the trenches of the enemy and
the pursuit of German cavalry by French
aviators. From these conditions they de
duce that the forces of the Allies are In
excellent condition.
The Allies apparently are fighting with
tho greatest ardor and determination to
take the Important city of Lille In splto
of the extraordinary resistance of the
enemy. Tho barbed wire obstructions
" proven a serious obstacle to the
Allies' advance and numerous means of
surmounting them have been considered.
ii is icMiizeu hero that It may be neces
Miry to make sacrifices to this end, nnd
It has been suggested that the men
"fleeted for this task be armed, among
other things, with bucklers such as were
used successfully In attacking the notori
ous automobile bandits of Paris In their
refuge In the suburbs of the city.
It also Is proposed that thoro be sent
along with the regimental trains nppara
tus which may bo used In tho destruction
or the accessory defenses of the enemy,
this equipment to be In the hands of men
charged especially with its use It Is con
sidered that measures of this kind should
not be spurned In view of the fuct that
the Germans are conducting their warfare
In such a scientific manner.
Lieutenant folenel Rousset. the military
critic, declares this morning thnt the Ger
limn oyait-m or fortifications is excellent
and furnishes a protecting curtain for
heavy artillery and the Insidious machine
sun.
"It S not Chlvnlrnnci na,,iM ,, u
writes, but It Is practical. Our enemy
hf, nV.'i alUr ,he ft"h'n of the lion,
but like the fox. and we should make use
of some of these Ideas."
Stubborn Resistance Along
Channel Coast Guards
Base at Dunkirk, and
Scheme Fails, Declare Ex
perts. By ED. I. KEEN
LONDON, qct. 23, If the Germans
ever seriously planned an 'Invasion of
Kugiand, and the chief military experts
hero Insist they did, they have lost their
chance. The generally credited reports
hero were that Germany, In moving to
take Dunkirk, Intended to start an In
vading force from there nnd Ostcnd.
'Flrt It Is believed an aer!al inld was
Intended to terrorize London. Then the
German fleet wns to go out and give
battle to the British war fleet while an
Invading force was rushed a'cross the
channel. Almost all of the military ex
perts here nre convinced that this was
the plan; and' all agree today that the
Germans have missed their opportunity
and ennnot again obtain It.
Once again It has been the Belglnns
Who Interfered with the plans of the Ger
man General Staff. They refused to per
mit themselves to bo cut off by tho Ger
mans and developed such an effective
offensive from Nlcuport to Dlxmude that
the dash of the Germans toward Dunkirk
failed. Supported by tho great guns of
the British fleet the Belgians have rolled
the German offensive back, and all re
ports received hero Insist that the Ger-
mnns are at last on the defensive.
For tho last IS hours tho Allies have
been on the offensive. Their enveloping
movement Is gaining more and more
strength nnd It Is Insisted nt the War
Olllcc that within a very short tlmo tho
enomy must withdraw to a new line.
The British Flying Corps has reported
that tho German engineers have been
hard at work laying out a new line far
behind that at present occupied. Tho
exact location Is withheld, but It Is be
lieved thnt the German General Staff Is
nt last convinced that It cannot gain
ground from the north and plans to
withdraw Its main right wing Into Bel
gium and devote Its energies to an of
fensive which Is being developed on the
Frendh centre and left In the neighbor
hood of Verdun nnd the line of the
Meuse forts.

NHW YORK, Oct. 22,-Supposed. Inner
secrets of .the German Government r
gardlng Its preparations for the war and
Its planw for tho Immcdlato future were
revealed In tho most matter of fact way
by Dr. Armganrd Karl Graves, nt last
night's dinner of the Booksellers' League.
He Id a self-styled German spy, and ad
mils that lie has gathered valuable In
formation for his Government, but h
declined to reveal his name or bis nation
nllly. However, he declares he knows
wbnt the Germans are going to do to
England.
Doctor Graves asserted that Germany,,
between November 1 nnd 5, would at
tack England with a fleet of wnrshlps,
t.lrshlps and submarines. The German
air fleet when It is over London will
give the British Government the choice
of withdrawing from tho war or taking?

Britons do rot surrender nt once the
Germans will have to do something; -,
which Doctor Graves nssuics they are; '

arsumed that when the Germans had,
finished thcie would bo no more London.
Doctor Graves said the German ships
Interned In New Tork. Philadelphia and.
Boston would make a. dash for sea In the.
most unexpected manner. Ho declared
thnt the Government) bought IS ships and "
loaded them with 10,000,000 bushels ot ,
