POINT OF LIAISON STRUCK.
TWO GERMAN ARMY GROUPS Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Heed. 5.5 p.m.). LONDON, Aug. 9. Colonel Repington fays: The allied attack apparently struck the point of junction between Prince Rupprecht's and the Crown Prince's army groups. There may bo some delay in bringing up the German reserves, because it is always more difficult for them to roach the wings, but it would be premature to suppose wo had finished the battle. Sir Douglas Haig has smashed eight German divisions, but there must be nearly a hundred at Germany's disposal, excluding the 74 engaged on the Marne, and those between Verdun and Switzerland. Twenty-three of these divisions consist of good storm troops not recently engaged.
