The far-reaching, important and
sweeping success of the battle of
Arras is being revealed in successive
chapters to the British public, which
hardly realizes yet that it is the
most effectual and decisive event to

turning point in the whole war in

towards the ultimate allied victory.

new territory gained for France
from the invader, marks the battle
of Arras as a great victory. But
the significant statement from Field
Marshal Haig is that the British
army is astride the Hindenburg line.
The famous Hindenburg line had
been proclaimed by the author as
well as by German experts as sort
of great wall of China, that it was
almost as impregnable to assaults
as that one of the seven wonders
of the world. which was so long an
adamant barrier to protect an an
cient Chinese dynasty

in the Won Hindenburg Buddha has
even served to hynotize part OF the
British public and some of the prom.
lnent writer's who have been dispos.
ed TO accept the German theory ex-
pounded in their papers that every
thing that has occurred on the
western front has gone according
to Won Hindenburg's plans as fore
seen by him.
A number of British military
writer's have taken the view that
the Hindenburg line was myth
painted to hearten the German peo-
pie. But the British general staff
for some time has known that there
is definite Hindenburg line ON
which the German staff was basing
its defense and has known exactly
where that line was drawn.
If the British can break through
a vital or important sector, the next
chapter may be a further extensive
German retreat, If indeed the Ger
mans are able to retreat in order

now doing.
