The German right was fallen again thirty-five miles and the centre
almost fifty;  but the retreat was not a rout and the losses in guns
and imprisoned they were lean. The first battle of the Marne was important
from reason for that that prevented the Germans of the to do, rather than from

the field and coming too strongly then. The war was to try that to be
a guilt of the democracy rather than of autocrats, and Russia intervened
with an unexpected promptitude from which would be followed in duration a
equally unexpected collapse. The to foresee some course of wars is
commonly gone away to military experts, and military experts commonly err
