A push much further eastward along the present line of advance will be bound to shake the security of the German coastline. The desperation of the German resistance, now manifesting itself in furious counterattacks, bears witness to the importance the German high command attaches to retention of the present front. This front has been shown to be not the rigid one the Teutonic claims have made ft out. Badly bent by yesterday's attack the Immediate future Is likely to show whether It can be strained to the breaking point. Advices from the allied capitals point to the expectation of the bat tle opened yesterday continuing for weeks, if not months. The French troops evidently were not brought up to the Belgian front, away from their former field of operations for any brief effort it seems and the Paris comment of the offensive par ticularly points to the vast prepara tions made for it and the large re sults hoped for. On the French front the Germans went on this morning with an op eration they had been preparing in the Verdun region, launching an assault between Avocourt and Hill 304, northwest of the Citadel, in an effort to regain the positions they lost on July 17. Only a few advanced elements of the French line, how ever were reached by the crown I prince's forces, the French fire stop ping them short there.

The British'bat teries were obliged to pause from ex haustion on the twenty-ninth until | midday, when they attempted to es-! cape punishment by smoke screens. j The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger's mill- I tary critic says that the offensive was I delayed and weakened by the subma- j rine campaign. E.ngland consequently i Is no longer superior in artillery and i aviators and battalions at the front are on a reduced footing because of the need of workmen in home muni- | tion factories. Major Moraht, in the Tages Zeltung. j Intimated the evening before the at tack that General Hatg, despite weeks i of cannonading, bad been unable to effect adequate Infantry preparation and was afraid to attack. Great Majority of Troops in Battle Are English London, Aug.
