New Threat
To Maginot Line Seen
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
SIMULTANEOUSLY with the drive on Paris, Germans have opened a new offensive in the Aisne- Marne sector which ap. parently has as its object the flanking of the truc Maginot Line.
A spokesman of the Ministry of National De- fence stated this morning that there are distinctive signs that the German forces now attacking with considerable strength in the Rheims sector are directing their attaches north-eastwards towards the Maginot Line.
arca,
The German onslaughts along the Aiine in the Argonne Forest coupled with the furious onslaughts in the Rheims area, have compelled the French Forces to with-
draw towards the front extending from Verdun to Vitry in order to prevent themselves from becoming outflanked and encircled.
South of Rheims, ` the Germans claim to have occupied Chalons, on the Marne River.
CITY MURDER
The well-known hollow battalion square, illustrated in photograph above from the film "The Light That Failed" was introduced, strangely enough, by the Ger mans, in the war against Austria in 1740-two centuries ago. At that time. it represented that most modern method of defence, being considered impregnable almost up to the time of Waterloo. It was employed extensively by the British forces, especially in Egypt, the Sudan and India. The method, now used again by Britain to defeat the new methods of warfare used by the Germans, was vividly illustrated in the filma "The Four Feathers" and "The Light That Failed."
