Keeping Germans Awake.
SUCGEBBFUL FEIGNED RETREAT BY ALLIED FORGES.
London, September 3
On Monday a mixed British and French force, by a feigned retreat, drew forward a considerable German force to the La Fere region, which had been entrenched. Riflemen and Maxim* punished the Germans severely, and the Germans retreated, leaving 600 killed and wounded. By constant feints and skirmishes and alarms, .the Allies seek to keep the Germans alert day and night, the Belgians, French, and English taking turns to prevent the Germans from sleeping.
There was a lull on Tuesday, possibly due to the German expenditure of rifle and artillery ammunition. The Germans have insufficient animal and motor 'transport.
