continues? The British have now ad-
vanced around four miles; if they can ad-
vance five more going north they will
have Bapaume the Germans will have to
come back out Of the whole Bapaume
salient and this will. mean abandoning
their whole line from the Somme to Arras,
east of the Arras- Bapaume- Peronne high
way. Not less than thirty miles Of line
will be surrendered.
Fighting in the Open.
II the Germans have prepared new
line behind this salient. from Arras 70
Ba paume, then the Allies will have to be-
gin all over again. If it is as strong as
the other lines, their work will be exceed
ingly difficult; but if the Germans have
not put in a line, il they had not put it in
weeks ago, We may see the Allies get
through the whole German position and
begin fighting in the open again.
In the same fashion, II the French can
get south only two or three miles beyond
Belloy-en-Santerre, which they hold, and
thus threaten the rear of the Germans in
Chaulnes, the Germans will have to come
out of Chaulnes and Roye and Lassigny
to the south Of it; their position in Noyon
will be difficult. and they may decide to
come back behind the Somme and move up
the Disc to Chauny from Noyon.
Again we shall have TO wait and see
whether the Germans have already pre-
pared for this emergency. II they have,
the French will get only some ruined vii
lagos and several hundred miles Of war
ravaged country. They will not take any
cities of real Importance, or cut any rail
road or highway lines that will compel the
Germans to co anything but Slightly con-
tract and considerably reorganize their
front.
The new line which they can occupy
will not be materially weaker than the old,

even Noyon. What then? Some twenty
miles east Of Bapaume and southeast Of
Arras, at the intersection of reads from
these two towns, is the considerable city OF
Cambria, one Of the great railroad centres
of this region.
Cambria is the real objective of the
British If they can get il then the whole
German position south of the city, and
this means the whole German position
west of the Disc, will be in very grave
peril. In all human probability the fall Of
Cambria would mean the retirement of the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-23

nor will it be greatly nearer the frontier.
Their position in Northern France Will
still be secure and the main prizes which
they took in the Western warfare barrel"
two years ago will remain TO them We
have not yet to deal with any prospective
change on a large scale, and even if Ba-
paume and Peronne fall and Roye, Chau =
mes and even Noyon are evacuated, no big
thing will happen.
Let us assume now that the British get
Bapaume and the French are able to turn
the Germans out Of Chaulnes, Roye and

French Success.

Whether because it was better organ
lied, better supported by artillery or less
bitterly opposed, the French attack was i'm
medistely more effective. With very lit
as delay the French pushed east, north
and south Of the river until they had
reached Hem on the north and taken
Siaches, with Hill 81, just above it, on
ne south side. They now looked down
INTO Peronne, across the river and about
nile distant. South of Biaches their
Inc now ran diagonally back, east OF
Lstrees, until 1t reached the old trench
me north Of Chaulnes.
The French had then driven a wedge,
.ieht miles wide at its base, the old trench

reronne, and upward of six miles deep,

Why the big Push" Began Where 1t Did
and What May Come of 1.-THE
French Have Advanced as Far
as the Germans at Verdun.
By FRANK H. SIMONDS,
Author of The Great War"

Ten days ago, while the Anglo-French
Drive was still a matter of conjecture
rsther than precise knowledge, described
the first impressions that it created. both
As TO its immediate and ultimate objec-
ives. Now, with fuller information, and
with q detailed map, l shall endeavor to
discuss exactly what has happened in the
s-st eighteen days Of July, which mark the
unod Of the big PUSH" contrasting and
suparing It with previous efforts Of the
Allies.
First as to the topography: When the
Western warfare settled down into trench
fighting there was between Arras and
Ncyon a stretch Of front marked by one
very well defined salient or bulge. Possess
inc Bapaume, where a number Of roads
e.ntre, the Germans had been able TO get
west in a wide semicircle north Of the
somrne, west of Bapaume and east Of
Arras and Albert, to which the French
lust managed TO cling. The French were
thus several miles further East than the
Germans at the extreme point of the
Bapaume salient, as the little sketch map
indicates.
The Point Of Attack.
As il stood this salient ~as not particu'
lsrly dangerous to the Germans. II the
French or British could break the German
lin. north or south Of ii, then, and only
then. would the Germans in the salient be
exposed TO any real danger.
We do not know why the French and
British chose to attack at this point; prob
,sly because their investigations disclosed
the fact that the main German concentra-
ton was further north, conceiyably be-
cause at this point the French and Brit
ish fronts join and therefore only at this
point could there be joint operation.
All through the closing days Of June the
British and the French bombarded the
German lin. from the sea to the Argonne.
This is the usual prelude to an attack, and
twas so understood, but there was no in
diztion as to the exact point to Ne at
lacked. Apparently the Germans we're
satisfied that Verdun had exhausted the
French, because they made insufficient
preparations to meet any French attack.
Finally, on July l, the attack began. At
It's inception the drive was on front OF
about fifteen miles. 1t began on the north
lust above Albert, where the little Ancre
River intersects the front; on the accom-
psnying big map the village Of Hamel
marks the northern boundary. On the
south it stopped just short Of the town Of
Chaulnes. which was and remains In Ger
man hands. The French front ran from
before Chaulnes due north across the big
bend OF the Sonrme west OF Frise, which
the French had lost few months before,
and about 10 the town Of Maricourt The
British front continued the line west and
north TO Hamel
