Most of the French military writers are of the opinion that the Orown Prince is preparing a great defensiva battle, probably on the Tardenois Plateau. The correspondent of Le Jourral on the British Front seye "we have not heard the last of the enemy'e rffensive. There are grave, unknown possibilities, particularly in Flanders.. The British army, from generals to privates, are straining at the leaeb, awaiting the order to advance. There is a great time in store for the British armise.

Reuter'e Correspondent at French Headquarters, cabling on the 25th inst., meations that last year there were 180 to 170 German divisions in France and Belgum. There were 370 divisional eng- agementa. Many of the divisions were ongaged several times, the average number of engagements per division for the year being a fractioz over two. This year the evemy has engaged 430 divisione, including 67 between July 15th and July 24th. He bas between 205 and 210 divisions in France and Belgium eo, on an average, esca division has been engaged twice in seven months. Thus his divisions are being used up twice as fast as last year. A division ânca engaged on a battle sector is rarely relieved until the osapalties resob a filth or a fourth of the combatant effectives.

London, July 26.
It is announced that the Germans on July 19 ördered the general retirement from the whole of the Marne front, probably to Adze or Veele, bat this was saber quently cancelled, possibly with the idea of rescuing masses of material which had been accumulated Congestion and confusion now zeigu for the big fineire. in the salient, but the German position is not yet antenable. Apparently the enemy is sfriad of the moral effect of the withdrawal, which would be an admission of defeat. A estisfactory thing for the Allies is that the Germen'e are steadily using up reserves in battle under disadvantageous conditions. The latest information this evening is that the Crown Prince's reserves are practically exhausted. The only remaining fresh German reserves on the whole of the western front are Prince Rupprecht's. The likelihood of Prince Rapprecht attacking is less now than it was a week ago.
