military governor ot Paris is to the effect that the Germans are again striving against the French right on the The highest confidence prevails however that the French not only hold their own hut will eventually oust the Germans from their position near St and drive them hack toward Luxemburg the German center has been weakened by the removal of troops to support Gen Alexander Van Kluck the positions held by the in- vaders at this time are so strong that the French have not dared to try to take them by storm Paris Relieved Paris now feels safe The diate object of the German army according to all the signs is to cupy the territory adjoining the channel The The first blow against Prance having failed the second blow must be aimed at land Belgium has been crushed The new line-up
