THE CHOSEN MOMENT

VALOUR AND HEROISM OF THE BRITISH GERMANS SHORT OF MUNITIONS THE KAISER AT NANCY

To-day's messages of the operations in France make more pleasing 1 reading. The Allies Lave assumed a determined offensive, and the enemy's retreat, according to Mri Martin Donohoe (war correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle), points to a definite retirement. The attack has been resolutely pushed home along the whole line of advance. The German right has been pushed back, and is retreating towards Cambrai (in France) and Tournai (Belgium), aftervfutile efforts to hold its own. The story of Mr. Donohoe, printed below, gives a splendid account of the gteit engagement. From several sources comes the information that the enemy is, short of .munitions and supplies. The Press Bureau reports that the result of the two days' engagement is very satisfactory. The Kaiser is reported to be at the front, in the vicinity of Nancy, where he watched the fighting on Monday. He would not be' far away from Luneville, where his troops evacuated the hills around that town. The report that a considerable force of Russians had v reached France is not yet officially confirmed, though statements have been- published that Russian troops from Archangel arrived in Scotland and were shipped to Belgium to reinforce the Antwerp garrison. If this should be so, then the retreating German forces from France will assuredly have cause for deep and serious thinking. The "' Russian Embassy in London denies that there are any troops in France. The whole of the Austrian battle front was engaged by the Russians on Sunday, the enemy's centre retreating. Desperate fighting is reported in the Lemberg district, and on the Vistxila, the passage of which the Russians seek to command, their offensive has had favourable results.
