GERMAN PLAN DEFEATED.
TO ENGULF SEABOARD TOWNS. TROOPS' BAD POSITION. Received this day, 8.45 a.m. Paris, Tuesday. The Germans planned to march a huge force across Pas da Calais, and engulf the seaboard towns. The defeat at Lille smashed the plan and the German troops in the coaatal districts are threatened with destruction. A French staff officer at Aisne, interviewed, emphasised the great change in the spirits of the German troops since the Marne. Many officers are unnerved. Prisoners attest that the long, undecisive artuggle at Aisne has told severely on the troops.
