" HOLDING BACK THE GERMANS LU L K + 0 o+ + # Paris, Aug. 25.—“The general ++ engagement continues - with < < desperation,” is the wording of + anofficial communication given < out here. “Already both sides < <% bave suffered serious losses.” < + * LA AL AL X R T XK Parls, Aug. 25—That the French- English battle line ‘is holding, al- though surging against it is the weight of the entire German army, was the official statement issued by the war office. . The situation had changed ‘over- night in that the war office no longer declared the allles were on the offen- slve. It is accepted here that the of- fensive movement, undertaken to de- termine the exact strength of the at- tacking force, which was engaged along the entire frontier from Mons to Luxemberg, demonstrated this attack Was not a feint, but that the German offensive ‘movement was complete, The inevitable result was a falling back to the first line of intrench- ments, where fought. The official statement says: “The big Dbattle is being fought. The French and English forces are helding back the German army.” Every report from the front indi- cates that the fighting is of the most desperate character. The result may not be discernible for days. And the war office points out it may be temporarily a decisive result in so far as the Germans are | It is stated that they will 1 concerned. be In grave danger of having their column split squarely in two if de-l feated. On the other hand, if the allies suf- i fer a setback and are forced to re- treat, they will only have to fall back | on a secondary intrenched position already prepared, the war office says. Losses WIiil Be Appalling. That the losses will be appalling is admitted. Officials watching the sit- uation say the death iist in this, the first real battle of the war, will ex- ceed any in the history of warfare. The real line of battle resembles the letter Z. The upper line starts at Audenarde and gees ezst to Brusseis. The middle stroke runs southwest from Brussels to Mons and the bot- tom line extends east from Mons to Namur. . The heaviest fighting is in the angle halfway between Brussels southwest to Mons and east of Char- feroi. .Germans from the ncrth and from the east are being hurled against the allied line seeking to break through by sheer weight of numbers. The German army from luxemburg has been pushed through ti it wooded and almost impa: tory to reinforce the army north, which began its attack on Na- mur last Friday. The admission that the English army has been thrown into the de- fense line is accepted as indicating that tbere is real danger of the line belng penetrated by the Germans, who are apparently following out their original plan of campaign with Lille as the chief objective. To check the assault the French are depending on their splendid ar- tillery and machine guns, which have already prowen effective. So far as the strategical advantage s concern- ed the war office insists it rests with the French and British. WAR INCREASES BURDENS American Diplomats Seek More Cler ical Ald.
