UNABLE TO FIGHT
FLEEING ENEMY'
"NOT WAR ANYLOIJgER" (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) Re'c. 2 p.m.' LONDON, September 1. Describing the relentless speed of the advance'in the wake of" the fleeing Germans, a "Daily Mail" correspondent on the Somrae front, Alex.ander Clifford, says: "I believe the German armies in the west will never fight again. They didn't fight on the Seine and they haven't fought on the Somme. They cannot at present fight at $11. There is no limit to the possibilities before us. Fifty places have been taken which normally would be worth headlines; today they aren't worth mention. Greater things succeed them long before they could be in print. Headquarters starts out on the road without knowing where it is going. It follows on behind the troops and settles • down wherever circumstances dictate. Military policemen are putting up and taking down signs all day There is nothing stationary any more, it is exciting when you see bridge after ondge thrown across river after river Endless convoys, humming unceasingly over every road, reflect the power and efficiency of the pursuing army. Despite everything, everyone is eating everyone is mobile, and everyone has arms with which to fight. These are belng^lulfiuS^lll6ll^ and they are "There are things too horrible to fee written about. Never has an army died the death that this German aSy is vfctofy." ISn't War any longer ' tt
