How Hindenburg Planned
His Strategic Retreats

/ Hindenburg's plan became operative
as matter of fact last March when he
/. retreated to his first zone of de-
fense'-Lens, Cambria, st. Quentin
and Lafere-when he could no longer
stand the pressure that had been Gre
ated by the battle of the Somme.
Work on these successive retreat
zones has now been under way for
months and little effort is made now
to conceal either their existence or
purpose.
The supreme confidence which Ger
man and Swiss military critics have
in "Hindenburg's plan" is such that
in recent articles they boast of the
fact that Hindenburg will be able to
retreat for SO kilometers without hav-
ing his front pierced. Whether So
kilometer retreat can be forced onto
the German public as another "stra-
tegic victory remains to be seen.

By HENRY WOOD

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
The much-vaunted "Hindenburg
Plan, is no longer a closed secret.
The nature of this plan" was long
ago fully guessed and understood by
the French military authorities, who
preferred however, not to talk about
it at that time.
In short, from attempting to hold
the western front by defensive lines,
Hindenburg will hereafter try to hold
it by system Of successive defensive
zone-zones that continue back to the
Rhine and into Germany.
BY retreating from one zone, when
he can no longer hold it, to the next
one prepared in the rear, Hindenburg
hopes to save his front from ever be-,
ing pierced, and at the same time con-
vince the German public that his "stra-
tegic retreat" is another great vic
tory.
