German forces massed along front threaten French line
About 30 miles of the front hold roughly 12 German corps, nearly intact and at full strength. Together with auxiliaries they total around 700000 men, while the French on this short line can field at most about half that number. The rapid French retreat is driven by the large German Austrian force that struck the line between Toul and Verdun about a week ago and may be gaining ground.
