ALLIES' POSITION
- AN EXPERT'S COMMENTS,
ADVANTAGE WITH THE ENTENTE.
(Received August 14th, 11.5 p.m.)
LONDON, August. 13. Tho "Daily. Telegraph'e" war correspondent predicts that military operations in Belgium may culminate on Friday in a terrific collision of forces and the disruption of civilisation. Hβ adds: "Never have the movements of armies been shrouded in such impenetrable mystery. . .
I Tho military correspondent of "The Times" says: "We can bo well satisfied Tvith the ovents of the p&st twelve days. This period was needed for the mobilisation of the French armies, .and its close finds scarcely a German soldier in Franco. The only 'attaque brusque' which the Germans delivered totally failed, and thero is nothing to show that the morale and fighting aptitude of the Allies is not equal to, if not better than, those of tho enemy. We have passed through a very critical phase, during which the forces of the aggressive Power which prepares its stroke in advanoo. is offered many chances' of easy success. Neither the political, military, nor naval opening of f tho campaign has been creditable to Germany.'*
