Rcscrving British for Great onensive

. tSSlA'S successes on the eastern front
\ within the last two weeks have been of
such magnitude as almost 10 distract neutral
attention from the situation along the west
ern line. Indeed. little beyond the daily toll
OF lives and the steady wearing-away OF the
Nerdun defensos has occurred 10 distinguish
the recent operations that front.
Several explanations taken together, how
ever. make plain the reason for the compare
tive inactivity OF the British forces in France
To begin with. il is reported that General
Jofre after inspecting kitChener'S army. de-
cided it would not be ready for offensive work
before September. That opinion may ac-
count for the failure OF the French COM
mand1r TO call for British aid, which it is
understood is only awaiting his order
The more plausible explanation is 10 be
deduced from an analysis by the military
critic OF the New York Times OF the French
defense OF Nerdun. Calling ttention to the
remarkably small number OF prisoners taken
by the Germans whenever they have occupied
French position, this writer takes this as
an illustration of the French theory OF de-
tense which he describes as follows:
The French realize frankly that no

mans as possible
Every indication points 10 the accuracy and
mclusveness OF this experts observations rs
to Jottrc's method, though We dissent from
his inference that Nerdun will fall Assum-
ing them To be correct there would seem to
be no valid reason why the French COM
