A LONG WAR
SIEGE OF GERMANY NO RASH OFFENSIVES STRONG MAGINOT LINE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 24 The Paris correspondent of the New York Times says that official and semi-official declarations insist that Britain and France will refrain from rash offensives. Time favours the Allies. A short war was a possibility earlier, but the probability is now a long war, in which the Allies will settle to a siege of Germany. Arguing that the Germans cannot be better prepared than when they attacked Poland, therefore if they fear a long war they must endeavour to bring about an early ending by an important move, but the choice is limited either to break the Maginot Line or out-flank the Maginot Line through neutral countries, which would not improve the position internationally. The Maginot Line is reachable only by attackmg the French established positions of their own choosing.
