Military critics assert that the German general staff was guilti of a great blunder In detaching 3noni men from the western field of war, thu making possible the defeat on the Marne, and that tremendous efforts are being made now to correct that blunder. ' POSITION OF OPPONENTS ON THE AISNE. The late reports indicate little or no change in the position of the allies in the great battle along the Aisne. The Germans are making a very strong defensive on the right while the French arc on a strong offensive action on their own right, the latter movement evidently directed more espeecially against the retreating crown prince's army. The rear of this army is now endeavoring to fortify its position by intrenchments at Mont, faucon. The center of the line, which now lies between Berry-au-Bac, on the River Aisne ,and the Ar gonne forest,' shows no change in situation. The Germans are apparently fortifying their position here against a French offensive.
