German Uneasiness Growing. The Frankfurter Zeiturig PessiMeistic. London, July 10. The Daily Telegraph's Rotterdam correspondent states that the anxious note in the German comments on the west front is becoming daily more apparent. The belief that the offensive had failed because there was no immediate break through has been abandoned, and uncasines is arising because of the conviction that the Anglo-French are engaged in a great strategic operation. Tho Frankfurter Zcitung, in a sombre article, says : "It is a purely tactical French success. It cannot be denied that their object i» to advance along the line by Peromie and Curlu in a northerly direction, so rolling up the German wing which is fighting the British. The latter are acting much more carefully, but arc unable to avoid the heaviest losses. The next few days will bring the heaviest fighting against the French, to prevent them from carrying out their proposed tactics. Wc do not share the cheap optimism of many newspapers, who describe the events of the Pe-ronue-Albert corner as not farreaching."
