Nearly 3000 additional prisoners were taken in one place sr another, the majority of these by tbe FVench. The British haul in the neighborhood of Outtersteene this morning totaled 66. While there Is no question that the German disaster on the Marne was due partly to the staff's underestimate! of the new allied strength, leading it virtually to advertise its intention, and allowing the allies time to prepare to meet them, the cries of 'betrayal filling tbe German press are all tke more interesting In view of the recent German army order regarding the necessity for secrecy.
