PARIS, Aug. 27.—It was unoffcially stated here today that the
Germans are penttrating the allies’ lines between Montinedy and
Longwy. It is believed if they are doing this, they have captured
both of these points within the French boundary.
A heavy flanking force of Germans is operating against the
extreme left, hoping thereby to force the withdrawal of a part of
the allied forces from the center and thus weaken it.
If this is done, the German army can easily crowd through into
the interior of France and push onward towards Paris.
There is much excitment in the French capital, doubtless due
to the report that the Germans are penetrating the lines of the al-
lies.
It is estimated that the German losses up to date have been
thrice as heavy as those of the allied armies.

The gigantic army is divided into four she was sunk,
