(Former European manager for the

New York, Jan. 5.-The German sue>
cess in driving the French across the
Aisne river and east of Soissons is tho
most important victory either side has
won in the western fighting zone since
the winter began. It's present sugges-
ton is negligible, but if the Germans
can maintain their position south Of
the river they will have q permanent
position for future operations against
Paris.
Whether the spring campaign will
develop so as to permit a new drive
on Paris is not known. But certainly
the possibility exists, In it is the war
rant for Germany S suddenly developed
offensive at Scissors.
The kaiser, recovering from his re-
cent illness, seems to have selected the
Aisne front for q cpnvalescent visit Ia
the firing line, which suggests that
more than casual importance may be
attached to the seizure Of crossings
over the Aisne. At no other place have
the Germans secured lodgment south OF
that stream. If they hold their new
positions, they will be able to threaten
rear French communications with Sois-
sons and if serious German effort 10
made to reach Paris again the diff
Guilty Of the allies defense of Aisne
positions will be much increased.
The effort to attribute the defeat OF
the French to the flooded condition Of
the Aisne is not appropriate. If flood
waters destroyed French bridges and it
was impossible to send reinforcements
across the river, the obstruction ought
to have prevented the Germans from
crossing the stream. It is probable that
the prime reason for the French de-
feat was the existence Of weak spot
in their line, north Of the Aisne which
was discovered by the Germans. Under
manned French trenches and the in
spiration given the Germans by the
presence Of the kaiser doubtless cauA-
ed what Berlin reports rightly charac-
.terize MS "the brilliant feat Of our
troops"
In England the French reverse will
be received with much privately ex-
pressed personal opinion of the Ger
mans. The positions lost by the French
were originally captured by General
Sir John French 3 army during the bat
tie Of the Aisne They were part Of
the line, north Of the Aisne, which cost
go much British blood to occupy and
which emphasized the brilliant fight
ing qualities Of the British.
