The noted Swiss critic writing in the Gazette de Lau Sanne expresses the opinion that the germans can hardly attack Paris without leaving themselves exposed to the Allied reserves behind their right Flack at Amiens and Arras.

The German commander who did not i realize that the austrians were too weak to make such an attack lacking As they did not Only artillery but general officers and officers of lower i Grade.

Every where our soldiers stood their ground in hand to hand fighting. On a front of twelve Kilometres the enemy concentrated thrusting troops amounting to eight regiments in order to shake the Wall formed by Pur men.
