THE STRATEGIC POSITION.
KEEPING THE ENEMY AT GRIPS <HN ONLY LEAD TO ONE CONCLUSION. (Received Last Night, 11.50 o'clock.) LONDON, August 31 (Morning) The War' Office states that the troops oa August 26th offered a my■evb an<i most stubborn resistance. The Germans were made to pay tno extreme price for every forward movement they made. It must be remembered that, vast though the operations in France are, they are but wing of the whole field of battle The strategic position of Britain and her Allies is such that, whereas a decisive victory in France would probably be fatal to the enemy, the continuance of the resistance of the \nglo-Frencli Armies on such a scale as to keep in the closest grip the enemy's best troops, can, if prolonged, only lead to one conclusion.
