VICTORIOUS OFFENSIVE.
сал
Our reinforcements are now being train. ed with a view to the victorious offensive. Stores, munitions, food and transport are daily increased and important roserves of telegraphic, railway and shipping material constituted. In view of that offensive, railway material is being mansed, while e military commision of British, French and Belgians is being appointed to work the Belgiam, Luxembarg and Alsace Lorraine railways, against all this Germany offer nothing equiva lent. Her argn resources of men, efficers materiel and munitions have been largely arpended in the hope of crushing her opponent under an effort of mass sur prise. Thoy to-day' scarcely sufficiunt to offer defensive resistance. Every further development will result in a dimind- tion of the general value of the German - armies: beru as Fiance, taken by sur- Frise in August by a premeditated act of segression, will begin the war in very trath with the entirety of her forcan.
