It is difficult to summarize what has been going on
during the week in the rest of the line between Belfort and the sea, but it may be said generally that there has been considerable progress, both material and moral. The latter progress, indeed, is very well marked. The " push" on the line as a whole is distinctly in favour of the Allies. This fact will pro- bably make the Germans do something violent in order to reassert themselves. Such violence, however, if unsuccessful, may now prove very dangerous to the Germans, whose line has been thinned by the necessity of sending men to Poland, while their opponents' line has been in every slireetion strengthened and made good by reinforcements. Though it is premature to expect large developments in the immediate present, it is safe to say that in Belgium the enemy is waning while we are waxing.
