not SO efficient is that her health may
fail. But the wise business woman

by the ailments peculiar to the So
called weaker SEX" That greatest

DRIVE ON CAMBRIA
GIGANTIC SURPRISE
Intended to Cripple Enemy
Rather Than to Gain
Ground.
BY FRANK H. SIMONDS.
fCnnvryuh< 1o17l

Now, when we come to the new operation
before Cambria. 1t is apparent the British
have suddenly applied on sector long
quiet all tho lessons they have learned in
Flanders and that they have been able to
bring OF q very successful surprise at.
tack.
The first question to be asked is whether
the operation which we are now seeing is
a major effort to pierce the German lines
and achieve a dislocation, such as the
Germans themselves have recently brought
off in northern Italy. and compel wide
retirement in northern France. So far as
one can Judge this is not the case with
the present show about Cambria. 1t
does not seem to be one Of those great
efforts like the Somme and the summer
campaign in Flanders. 1t seems rather to

able to avoid very Wide swinstag n
treat.
Makes Up for Italy.

Already the victory At Cambria has
taken away the moral advantage gained
by the Germans in northern Italy. Even
IL the victory be purely local. Its effect
will go far to weaken the German
launched and to derive its CHIEF foros
from the effect OF the recent victory In
Italy.
It is too soon to say that the present
struggle IL to be regarded as only ona
more Of the local offensives with which
we are so familiar. an offensive similar
to the French success at the Clean des
Dame. But 1t is not too soon to say
that the chances of an actual piercing
dislocation of the entire front are rap
idly diminishing. Forty-eight hours at
the most should decide the fate OF
Cambria. and with the fate of Cambria
is locked up that Of the whole German
front in France from Lille to Rheims.

Third Solution Possible.

There is a third possibility. The Utah
ian campaign has become one of such
great Importance that any assistance
which the allies could give in the way
Of drawing of German troops which
might otherwise be sent to the Venetian
front would have a real value for the
italians. The attack in Champagne in
1915 was designed with the hope OF
piercing the German lines, but was. in
point of fact, primarily launched with
the purpose Of compelling the Germans
to recall troops from Russia and pre-
vent a complete Russian disaster. And
in this 1t was successful.
So far. then, as one can now Judge
the present attack between the Scarpe
and the Somme is primarily designed to
take off pressure upon Italy by COM
polling Germany to recall troops and
guns either sent or marked for sending

be the case Of an achievement by . single
army only slightly reinforced
Have Little Information.

There remains the second possibility: Is
value comparable with the Vimy ridge.
with Hill No. 20. with the Passchendaele
ridge. about Ypresf So far as one can
judge this too. is not the case. We have
had little information about the Arras-
St Quentin sector Of the British front
We know very little about the lines to
which tho Germans retreated last spring.
But there has been no suggestion that
are any such natural military obstacles as
Vimy ridge or that ridge which carries
the Chemin des Danes north Of the Aisne.
Nor can one see that any local gains here
would gravely threaten the German posi-
ton in France. as this position would be
threatened, for example, could the French
take the heights south Of Laon or the hills
north of Rheims

to italy. Il IL the natural and logical
military stop. It Will then be successful.
even II little ground Is gained, provided
It recalls troops from Italy or lessons
the. pressure upon the Piave line.
Now 1t Is quite clear from the first
information we have that this attack
before Cambria has resulted in the
largest gain of ground-that is. In the
the whole period Of trench warfare.
Largest Gain in War.
Now It Is much too early to attempt
to measure the probable extent Of the
British advance. 1t may be that they
VIII successfully push forward and
but such information as we have 50
far indicates that while considerable
ground has been gained on the thirty
mile front from the Scarpe to the Son.
me, the largest gains have been made
on a relatively restricted sector not
over six or eight miles in width. just
south of Cambria. Unless this wedge
can be widened 1t Is unlikely that there
will be any real piercing Of all the
chances Of widening this break must
be steadily reduced as the Germans
are able to bring up reserves and new
artillery about the threatened point

In sum. then. the victory which the
British have won between the Somme

est town of importance-represen as
it now stands the largest forward push
achieved in any offensive since the
the most SUCCESSFUL surprise attack

II the British do not succeed in get

tween Lille and st. Quentin or between
Lille and Rheims.
If. on the other hand. the British are
able to get into Cambria and cross the
Arras-Le Cateau railroad, which runs
through Cambria, then there is small
likelihood that the Germans will be

Wedge Five Miles Deep.
As It stands now the British have
driven a wedge some five miles deer
and six miles wide straight into the
so-called Hindenburg line, south OF
Cambria. They have brought the town
itself under their guns and they now
dominate the intricate system Of rail-
| roads and highways entering at this
important town. They have thus dis
organized the whole transportation
system of the Germans. They have
brought under their guns also several
minor lines of railroads beyond Cam.

they have created a deep and narrow
