GERMANS EXERT EVERY EFFORT 10 MULT ALU Enemy Desperation in Seeking to Hold British and French at Cambrai, St. Quentin and Soissons Near Panic, HUN TROOPS HAVE ORDERS TO HOLD POSTS TO DEATH Mid-Field Fighting Before Boche Fortresses During Past Week Rates With Fiercest Struggles of War- By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS (United Press Stiff Correspondent) Paris, Sept. 21. The most stubborn fighting seen ia weeks is taking place in the regions of Cambrai, St. Quentin nd Soissons, where the srmte of tieseraie Byrg, liawJicson, liebeny and Mangia are battering against the very gates of Germany. With a desperation bordering on panic, Crown Prince Ilupprecbi, & serai yon Boehm and the German crowt prince sre throwing troops into the inelce with or ders to hold or die, retake or be killed. Field Marshal von Hindenhurg realiz ed the great danger to his far flung fort ress, behind which iies the Hun frontier. and is thus attacking. The allies are meeting the attacking Trusslana in mid field in some of the wildest, fiercest grapples of ths war. Hun Not Yet Licked. One big fact stands out in this fight ing the boches are not yet licked. For weeks the general tone of war stories has been that the Huns haven't any more fight io them. But if you want to make any regular fighting man mad, be he American, British or French, just in timate that bis Job is easy and that the war is now over. He knows Germany can be licked finally, but he readily d mits that much bard scrapping is certain before the knockout. He' insist thst the many stories to the contrary are helping the boche. He points out that the Huns have shortened their line 70 miles by their retreat, as it result of which only 134 German divisions are holding the line now st compared with fit 140 rrcd ed before Marshal Foch's counter offen sive. Enemy Reserve Stronger. Tbea the Germans had only S3 divis ions in reserve and 33 restiug or refitting- Now they hsve 13 in rf serve sud 71 resting or refitting, end three weeks is considered ample time to refit, unices something happens to prevent it. Von Hindenhurg thus shortly will have M divisions io reserve resdy for operations. In the meantime, the allies sre now Bp against a line of the Huns own choosing, giving the latter a big advantage. t'n less the Germsns are torn out of these positions they will be able to bo!d them with fewer troops still, thus increasing the number of reserve divisions out of tbe line, resting and training.
