The first Oerman army Is reported to he between Li Ferte-Hous-Jouarre and Efflses Boffort. "Tha aecond Oerman army, after taking Rhalma, is advancing on Chateau Thierry and to tha east of Inst place. "Tha fourth Oerman army la reported to be marching south and on the west of Argonne, between Aulppes and Villa Jotirhe. All these points were reached by the Oermana on September 3.

Reason 'Wat Apparent. "Whether this change of plan by tha Germans Is voluntary or whether It haa been forced upon them by the strategic situation and tha great strength of tha allied armies in their front, will ba re vealed by the course of events. "There Is no doubt whatever that our men have established a personal ascend ancy over the Germans and that they ara conscious of tha fact thai with any thing Ilka avan numbers tha reault would ba doubtful. The shooting of tha Ger man Infantry Is poor, while the British rifle flra haa devastated every, column of attack that haa presented Itself.

"Tha following incidents have been mentioned.
