Thero was no official information today which could in any way be interpreted as furnishing as basis for reports of the retreat of the German right in northeastern Franco. On the contrary, the allies new battle lines, nnnounccd bv the French govern nient with unusual frankness, indicated considerable gains by the Germans. Last week I'eronne and Lnssigny were in the allies possession. They repre sented the points closest to the Ger mans main defenses that the Franco British forces had taken since the be ginning of the battle of the Aisne. The new disposition of the battle front restores Lassigny to the Germans and moves the allies ten miles back of Peronne, between Combles and Albert. Germans Are Strong, This rearrangement shows that the German still retain considerable power, and if it is only sporadic, it has been proven that the" allies ' offensive abili ties are sporadic, too, The German wing could only bo routed at this time by the appearance of i strong Franco-British reinforcements, j tor nours, mo vneinem ami nnd such reinforcement probably would ! w"e forts wjre said to have replied, have to be supplied bv the British. i" accurately that they finally dis Most of the British troops sent to' mounto.l -'two of the kaiser's guns, France nfter the arrival of the first whereupon the shelling began abruptly expeditionary force must have been used to mako up losses and keep the original; H wns not expected the attack would corps up to their full strength. j le vigorously resinned until the arrival It is not likely that the second army of the German's long rnngo mortars has yet crossed the channel.

Gerniaa siege artillery was being mounted before Antworp today. The kaiser was reported determined to capture it, and quickly as he wanted it as a temporary base for a Zeppelin and aeroplane raid of the British isles.
