On no point along tho glgaullo lines has tha Anglo Troncb wall been pierced. "Tho (ierniau center still holds strongly. In fact it seems clear, as pointed out by Colonel Iloussct, tho military critic of tho Liberie, that the Germans havo received orders to break through tho French lino any whora and at any cost. Tho Hussion steam roller has come, too close to be any longer disregarded and it in felt by tho German general staff that a decisive siicccsit must bo won against tho allies in tho western theater of war in order that Germany may be ablo lo turn Its attention, with some assurance, to tho victorious advanco of tho Itiisslaus. "Tho enemy continues to fight with great fury at certain points of tho line, though tho action Is generally less Intense along tho Immcnso battlo front.
