In spite of the fact that the "little Army" are
newcomers to this particular piece of French and Belgian Flanders, and have not yet, we presume, had much time to dig themselves in, we feel quite sure they will give a very good account of them- selves. The Germans are now said to have pledged themselves to reach Paris on October 28th. We shall see whether they can keep to time. In the centre of the line the French seem to be doing something more than holding their own. In all probability, at the same time that the Germans strike at our left flank they will make a dash at what they believe to be the French danger-point of St. Mihiel. Unless we are mis- taken, however, they will find it less weak than they supposed. On the extreme French right advances are reported, and it is even rumoured that the French will soon be in occupation of Miilhausen.
