BLOW ON BLOW IS ALLIED PLAN
(By Associated Press Dis

WASHINGTON, Aug Tt is expected that the al lied drive in Belgium will be renewed when the heavy guns are moved up to position The plan of attack is to force wedge into the German attack by successive strokes until
 point is reached where general retreat by the enemy over wide front will be forced Continued pushing along the present line of advance will shake the security of the German coast line defense positions and submarine bases
 The desperation shown in resistance by German units and manfeStng itself in furious counter attacks testes to the importance which those high in command attach to the retention of ground on the Belgian front.
