PRUSSIAN RETREAT

blundered on, British and French
guns Numbered and the superb Ger
man labyrinth of trenches became an
appalling shambles.
At last Hindenburg saw a light.
The offensive was no longer his. He
must fight henceforth defensive
war. The famous retreat in Somme
last winter was step number one. He
abandoned his once precious trenches,
now become hell hole Uttered with
purifying corpses OF German youths.
Hindenburgs next step was observ-
ed during the battle Of Arras in April.
His trenches were still there, but
now thinly manned. The bulk of
troops were kept in support trenches
hundreds Of yards behind.
But his plan was still faulty and
later, at Messinez in June, German
troops were more widely scattered.
Machine guns were no longer fired
from trenches, but from special, iso-
lated posts Also trench mortars.
And specially trained counter at
lacking troops were held in readi-
ness to charge the tired British as
soon as detectives had been won.
But the British got there just the
same and Hindenburg began to lose
faith in trenches. July 81, beginning
the battle of Flanders, found the Ger
mans still differently disposed.
They were occupying not trenches
so much as concrete shell holes, two
or three linked together with short
tunnels. pill boxes"-steel and con-
crete turrets whose mud covered tops
were just above the ground-made
their debut and from their narrow
Sits machine guns spat death over
the Flemish quagmires. These shell
hole positions and pill boxes with
scraps of trenches a few yards long,
plus patches of barbed wire entangle-
ments here and there, covered an
area a mile or so in depth and such
a thing as a fire trench had ceased to
exist
The idea, of course. as British Of
ficers explained it today, was to make
it necessary for the British to fire
million rounds of shells to kill doz.
en- men. The shell holes and pill box
tops were we'll nigh invisible from the
air and only direct hit sufflced to
put them out Of commission. Then
when the tommies advanced they
would come across an unsupported bit
of barbed wire enfiladed by machine
gun fire. Finally, after crossing such
a zone, as this, they would meet fresh
troops in a terrific counter attack.
The plan worked only partially.
Then came the battle OF Menin road,
when the unheard OF creeping bar.
rage used by the British took the
fight out Of even the pill boxes. The
rain of shells flattened everything.
Likewise the same terrible curtain Of
fire often wiped out German counter
attacking troops before they got start
ed
Such is the fighting today. 1t is
now Hindenburg's move.

How America is Helping.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-America's
citizen soldiers in their home train
ing camps have begun creating their
first strategic diversion and are saw
ing the Russian northern army from
fianking operations about Riga bay.
If it were not for fear of the new
American troops, Marshal Won Hin
denburg unquestionably would now be
landing troops on the mainland near
the Riga bay islands in an attempt
to catch the Russian army in wise
and win a new Sedan victory. A
success Of this Importance at the
present moment would be of immense
advantage to Germany. 1t could be
made to furnish a military argum ent
to the sorely beset kaiser now tour
ing the Balkans and Turkey trying
to keep his allies loyal to him.
But Won Hindenburg cannot afford
to risk the heavy casualties and loss
of reserves of ammunition that such
operations would entail, while hun
dreds of thousands of Am orleans are
in training for next springs often
sive. If the German general staff
were compelled to authorize such a
disastrous adventure because of anti.
German conditions in Bulgaria and
Turkey, the result would be Of direct
advantage to the United States army
There would be less German troops
and less German ammunition to op-
pose next years hammer blows Of
General Pershing's forces.
America, therefore, Is now the
dominant factor in a kind of major
strategy five thousand miles away
America is winning military victories
for the allies without firing a shot
