THE AUGUSTA HERALD
LULLITTPRES
ONLY PRELUDE,
FURIOUS EPFDRT
Everything Indicates Germans
Preparing With Greatest De
termination After Orders to
Break Through at Any Cost.
Paris, 7 a. m.—The lull in the fight
ing in the environs of Dixmude and
Ypres, in the best opinion here, is
only the prelude of a further effort to
which all the forces that the Germans
can raise will be concentrated. The
last attack, made with 12 army corps
failed. The next, it is expected will
be made by even more.
All Indications.
All advices from the front indicate
this clearly. The report that the
Germans are gathering an important
army at Inglemunster, the affirma
tion that the battle against France
must be decided at an early date, the
orders given to the German generals
to break through before the end of the
month and the various movement of
troops observed by aviators in Bel
gium, all tend to show the purpose of
the Germans.
Of First Importance.
All of the military writers agree
that the effort will be of the first im
portance to the Germans. If unsuc
cessful, it is contended here, it will
be the last the Germans will be able
to make as they will then recognize
the necessity of falling back on a line
a little more to the rear which will,
as is their custom, have been forti
fied in advance with the greatest pos
sible care.
Most Intense.
They will therefore strain every
nerve and sinew in this battle of Ypres
and the fighting is likely to be of a
character even more intense than any
thing that has gone before. If the
allies successfully resist the new on
slaught. in the opinion of the military
writers, the day when France will be
freed of the invaders will be brought
sensibly nearer.
With Russ Progress.
The fortunes of the war in the west
are becoming more and more bound
up with the progress of the Russians,
according to the general opinion here.
If the latter succeed in making a se
rious threat in Silesia within a short
time the Germans, it is anticipated,
will have to withdraw troops from
their western front and this will en
able the allies to advance more quick
ly. There is apparently no abatement
of the feeling of optimism reigning in
both the French army and among the
French people.
ANARCHIST FIGHT
