Following is the dispatch in part: “The French press © continues to. view with calm confidence the devel- ‘opments of the gigantic battle which has been going on for five days. This confidence is ‘based. on all the exper- iences of this war. Each time that the Germans have. attempted a move- ‘ment against the troops in the west the effort after a certain amount of sticcess always of a temporary char- acter, has ended in being broken against the barrier of the allied arm- ies. , “The great example before all. minds is that.of the Marne, qwhere Germany. had every advantage on her side, thanks to her preparation ,to the superiority ‘of her man power, and her heayy artillery and her Hidden at- tack across violated Belgium, but she: was defeated, Today she is fighting against the powerful.
