Solid black shows French territory The battle itself, the "Battle for Paris." was cohered by the reportä of Hindenburg's triumph at Tannenberg Only after the retreat to the Aisne was over did the otficial utterances begin again to take up the fortunes of the army which had reached the very environs of Paris. And this return to the western campaign lor a brief hour was only because for that space of time the Gtnnar.s were convinced, the general btaff was convinced, that they had repaired their mistakes and were now about to resume their offensive, which had been interrupted at the Marne. GF.IIM.W IIOIr. i'i;iusni:s is flandfus. Put it war. too late. Jofrre had already begun that tuining movement on tields which in recent days have -ctn another mighty struggle and a new victory of Preach Renins and Pritish and French devotion. The 'race to the :-ea" had begun, and the active front moved away ironi Paris until the last German hope of swift wctory and short war perUhcd in the mud and fog of Flander?. where Britain, France and Belgium stood in th? last ditch, and, with the single commander, Koch, raised a dike across the pathway of the masses which, under the very eye of the kaiser, sought to back their way to the channel. They had lost Paris in September: they finally lost Calais in November, and the six weeks dash to Pari was over. We on the allied side hae often permitted ourilve. to be hypnotized by the magic of the very name of the German great and general statt. We have accepted it altogether too often ut its own valuation. Its strength is imposing: all that preparation could do in the way machinery, discipline, organization has been done; ha? been done for 4 0 years before the tirst Marne, and it was done for many, many months before the recent offensive of this year. But despite its power for organpation. for preparation, for all the nialler things that make the great and wellnigh perfect machine, the German general staff has always been wrong in its big d-r-eision-p and its mistakes have lo.-t the war every' N1AV VOJIK.
