Foch's Great Advantage.

From the beginning of the battle on
July /. not a German balloon has been
in the air except at a ludicrous dis
tance behind the lines. The German
airman who attempts to get up is
pounced on by the French hawks. For
days at IL time not an enemy eye has
overlooked the field. That has given
Foch a tremendous advantage. Seeing
all himself, his enemy has seen moth
ing. Upon this base of action Foch has
ordered the battle according to his own
formula:
Go slow. Be sure. Waste shells. but
do not waste men,"
The first French bombardment lasted
three days. Then the Germans. as pris-
oners have related. began to get ready
for the attack. No artillery prepara-
tion had ever lasted more than three
days. In three days the modern artil-
lery can crush anything in the way Of
field defense-except the field defenses
the Germans. have prepared on the
Somme. The Germans were rather con-
fident at the end of the three days.
Many Of their machine gun cabins were
still in existence. Then they had evolved

The losses the French army sustained

confidence in his officer and in the off,

he objects to stupidity. He dislikes
being killed uselessly There is the
inner meaning Of his new catch-word:
TT goes"
Gen Foch had selected new ground
on which to launch his attack. There
had been no action on the Somme since
September, 1914. If you glance at a
gle of which the points are Herbecourt,
Fla court and Assevillers is the heart of
a great plateau bordering on the River
Somme. Along the Somme are impas-
sable marches. The Germans believed
these marshes and their own defenses
were a sufficient protection against at
tack here They did not know Foch.
He launched the attack first to the
north of the Somme on the Maurepas-
Feuilleres line. Enfilading the German
trenches from the position thus gained
and making the riverine marches
protection instead of an obstacle, he
went to the attack of the plateau.

Gen. Foch's Plan.

That is not the aim of our opera
tions." was the reply The ground
behind the line is so thoroughly pre-
pared-every village is a fort-that it
is not likely either side could get an
effective mass through a break. We
may smash through, but if we do it will
be because we are favored by chance.
Al present our plan is merely to ham
mer the German back"
The Champagne offensive was a tac-
teal success, but not practical one.
In 1T the French made use of a consfd-
erable concentration of artillery for
the hrst time in an effort to break the
line. 1t developed there were not guns
enough and not shells enough No one
then suspected the incredible amount
OF ammunition a field of guns can use

man trenches We're fairly well bIotted

that:
The infantry went too fast"
There are no troops to equal the
French in charge. They tore over
the demolished first line trenches and
INTO the second and in some places
INTO and through the third But they
went too fast. The big guns could not

could be moved forward the enemy

MINISTRY IS URGED

ing of the fall and winter season today

scores Of modern Christians had scores
Of programs for putting moro power

part of the ministry.

From Trench to Trench.

IF you. should break through the
line, then" I suggested, there might
be return to the old war of move
ment?"
Hardly that" was the reply. with
the unlimited number Of men any gen.
eral has at his disposal he can dig
trenches very quickly and sufficiently
deep. AT the best 1t will be a case of
driving the enemy from one line of
trenches to the line behind and try to
kill as many of his men as possible dur
ing the process"
The driving is done by combina-
ton of big guns. trench mortars and
infantry. Only the mortars are used
on the nearest trenches, but those who
have been privileged to see the work
done by them are quite content. They
throw $50 pounds of dynamite. some of
them, and with sufficient accuracy. In
places the trenches have been literally
destroyed. The ground looks like the
bottom of 4 freshly abandoned gravel
pit. so torn and heaped and hummocked
is it. The few men who still hang on
4 few always hang on-shelter them
selves in the shell holes. BY and by
the infantry sweeps forward and kills
and captures them. Meanwhile the big
guns of each side have been trying
TO put out of action the big guns of the
other side. The guns of medium caliber
drop a fire curtain" against infantry
attack or the moving forward of rein
forcenlents.
Seen from the outside, Gen. Foch's
olan is a childishly simple one. 1t is
merely to cut through the enemy
trenches at one place and then attack
those trenches down their length, In
stead of against their broadside.
Coupled with this is an arduous artilA
iery preparation, three times greater
than had ever been used before, so that
his men can go forward in comparative
safety against an enemy that has
ceased to exist as fighting force, and
remains only a few stunned and nerve
broken men shivering in holes in the
ground, waiting for death. 1t has been
eminently successful.
ANY one might have thought of It,"
said the staff officer. but only Foch
did"

No Tenderness In War.

This is very rich agricultural coun-
try. crammed with little villages, very
fat. once sprinkled with groves Of the
trees one sees only in France. There
are many beet sugar factories. These
trees have been destroyed by artillery
fire At the Somme the land is more
hilly. Gen. Foch had at first hesitated
about attacking here. not merely be-
cause he knew that each village had
been turned into a fort which must be
reduced stone by stone, but because he
also knew the villagers remained in
them. The Germans had kept them as
there is no place for tenderness in war
The fire was opened, and fortunately
the Germans did not hold the villa gers.
There is no question that the Ger
mans were surprised by the French at
tack. They had expected a demon
stration. but not a battle. They were
not as deeply fortified as they were on
the English front. After two days of
the Foch bombardment, however, they
began to build deeper dugouts in the
rear. Today the German line is pre-
sumably as strong relatively in front
of the French as 1t was in front of the
English. Fortunately for the success
of the allied operations, it Is not as
strong anywhere as it was in the be-
ginning. The first three lines are be-
yond any question the most formidabl
