result in overwhelming defeat for the

Time for Decisive Action.
It is generally accepted that the
hour for decisive action on the. part
of the enemy has arrived. Further
delay will place the whole German
line In such a precarious situation
that only superb strategy can save it
from disaster.
Generally the action along the whole
battle front has entered upon a slow

will attach to any very important ag
gressive movement by either army.
The allies have desisted from further
frontal attacks, except where., large
supporting bodies of fresh troops are
at hand to relieve the fatigued first
line fighters. All along the line the
allies are husbanding their effective
fighting strength for the final effort

and left flanks of the invaders shall
be able to withdraw to a new defen

No Estimate of Casualties.
The battle has now reached its
twentieth day, and it has been most
costly to both contending armies. In

great, even among'the Trench, troops,
that the French ofllcals have refraln

with both great armies practically
exhausted, military experts agree that
the advantage ultimately will rest
with that army which Is able at the

Germany, In Official Statement, Says Russians Have
Been Stayed—London Report Indicates That Great
Battle Is Under Way In the Eastern Zone
Unless all signs are awry, the German armies in France, or at any rate most
of them, are nearing the completion of their round trip. This, it is held in London,
is the only conclusion, hinted at even by a Berlin newspaper, to be drawn from the
reports, both official or unofficial, of those on or near the scene of action.
It is evident that the progress of the allies on their left is considerable, while
a hole through which the Germans might have pierced the line of French fortress
es on the Meuse river has been stopped.
Fierce battling around the heights of Roye, to the northwest of Noyon,
seems to have ended in favor of the French. The heights were captured by Gener
al Von Kluck's men on Wednesday, but Friday, according to the French report, the
allies regained control of the position.
The turning movement of the allied forces in northern France has brought
the extreme of their left wing within about 30 miles of the Belgian frontier.
The line on which the allies are attempting to envelop the German right
wing, under General Von Kluck, has been pushing gradually toward the Belgian
border, as the Germans widened the front in their defense until it extends some 55
miles from an angle that rests on Tracy le Mont.
A Petrograd correspondent says the Germans, from four points, are at
tempting to concentrate on southern Russian Poland, where a decisive battle is ex
pected.'
