GERMANS FAIL TO REACT
AGAINST FRENCH DRIVE
They Arc Showing Either signs OF
Weakness or Confusion
OF Orders.
EVERY OBJECTIVE IS REACHED
French Guns and Men Never Fail
to Get What Is Pointed Out for
Them to Go After-PrecisiOn Is
DEADLY

Paris, August 1.-THE operations
on the Sommo yesterday were merely
Il detail Of the offensive and OF only
local bearing high military officer
explained to-day to the Associated
Press. but significance is given the
fact that the Germans did not counter
attack as usual Never before have
they failed TO react when successfully
attacked. and their failure to do SO in
this case is either sign OF weakness
or, more likely. because of confusion
Of orders.
The precision with which the French
offensive has been carried out is shown
by the fact that every objective desig-
mated in advance OF an attack has been
reached.
AT Maurcpas number Of houses
were selected, and every one OF them
was captured and occupied. II never
was intended TO attempt the occupa-
ton of the entire village.
~ consequence of this precision OF
the French operations is the reduction
Of losses 10 a minimum The opera
tons in Artois and in Champagne cost
five times more than all the ground
gained on the Somme. The purpose is
10 destroy the German forces. and Nthe
Franco British defensive also has &C
compiished the feat OF holding on ths
western front the greatest possible
portion OF the German forces.
1T is fallacious TO figure out the
probablc duration OF hostiiities on
French soil by computing the average
surface Of ground gained per day.
Every time an action takes place. even
though the gain may be no more than
100 yards or so. the opposition is
beaten. lie loses heavily. and the
Weakening moral effect cannot be
measured in yards. 1t is a cumulative
effect. which sooner or later will wear
the enemy down, 80 that he Will be
unable To hold the French gains TO a
