M. Clemenceau's Analysis.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The comment of Premier Clemenceau's paper, L'Homme Libre, is doubtless M. Clemenceau's own, and it goes to the heart of the terrible matter on the Marne. It was impossible to defend the north, the coast, and Paris with equal strength. The coast, for the most essential strategic reasons of the Alliance, had to be defended at all costs. The result was that the thinly held line of the Alone was broken through by a German force which outnumbered the British and French on that line by ten to one.

At the Marne the German high-water mark of 1914 is again reached. This is a formidable fact. No one in the British or French councils cloaks it. The moment is one of terrible suspense; but the armies of liberty are still at their posts, and their blow will yet be delivered. --Boston Transcript.
