The loss of ground at present is only slight, but it is sufficient tc be a warning to the Germans' # know what to expect if they hold on much longer where they are, and the probability is that under cover ol their repeated counter-attacks they have already made preparations fo: the inevitable retreat which has been forced on them by the failure of their strategy. : "Counter-attacks are not to be taken as implying an intention to re suming the lost offensive or even i break through the alliest linel for the German army in France hes gone down hill too far both morally and materially since it was driven in dis. order from the Marne to enable it tc advance again on Paris with any hope of success. What the Germar {commanders are now doing is gain: ing time for retreat. 5 "Meanwhile we hear of the Ger man right wing being reinforced by troops coming from Lorraine. Thi: is what we might expect. The righ flank is the exposed flank and the pivot on which the retreat will be based. If the right gives way, tht retreat of the whole line will be ser ously imperiled. Fortunately for the German: they have a lateral line of railway running along the rear of their bat tle front through Thionville, Mont medy, and Mesieres and thence soutt to Hirson and Laon.

London, Sept. 22---A correspond? ent of The Standard, writing from Paris under Thursday's date, says: "During the last féw days there has been a succession of trains bear- ing the spoils of war to Paris, and since yesterday, morning alone twen- ty-three such trains have been coun- ed.

"The officers' sabres that have been brought here as trophies also are very much criticised for their showy appearance, which is out of all proportion to the apparent use of the weapon.
