War Must be
Won by Final
OffenSe-FOch

London, June 10.-That battles
can be won in the end only by the
army which takes the offensive is
the significant declaration by Gen
eral Foch, commander-in-ch chief of
the allies. in an article contrib
uted to the weekly journal. The
Field He discusses the problem of
the soldier and the way to victory.
He says:
Modern warfare, to arrive at its
end and to impose it's will on the
enemy, recognizes only one means
destruction of the enemy's organ
lied forces.
War undertakes and prepares
this destruction by battle which
brings about the overthrow of the
adversary. disorganizes his com
mand, destroys his discipline and
nullifies his units as far as their
fighting power is concerned.
Our first axiom must be that
completely to achieve its object, a
battle must not be purely defensive.
A purely defensive battle, even
well conducted, does not result in
victor and a vanquished. 1t is
d
over again.
From this it is an obvious cor
ollary that an offensive, whether
started at the beginning of an ac-
tion or whether it follows the de-
fensive. can only give results, and
in consequence must always be
adopted at the finish.
ITO maintain our position is not
synonymous with being victorious
and even prepares for a defeat
IF we remain where we are and
do not pass to the offensive to fix
the direction Of attack, to guard
against the plans OF the enemy and
prevent him from carrying out the
same maneuver, we must undertake
to carry on and sustain numerous
combats, each with determined aim.
But since there remains no
doubt that decisive attack Is the
very keystone of a battle, all other
actions which make up a battle
must be envisaged, considered, or
ganized, provided with forces in
the measure in which they will pre-
pare, facilitate and guarantee de-
velopment of a decisive attack char
acteriZed by its mass, Its surprise,
its speed and for which, in conse-
quence, it is essential that there
shall be the minimum reserve force
possible of troops of maneuver.
THE reserve-that is to say. tho
prepared bludgeon-is organized
and kept carefully instructed TO
execute the single act of battle from
which results are expected, namely,
the decisive attack.
Reserves must be husbanded
with the most extreme parsimony,
so that the bludgeon may be strong
enough TO make the blow as violent
as possible.
Let loose at the finish, without
any lurking idea of saving them,
with a well thought out plan for
winning the battle at point
chosen and determined, reserves
are thrown in all together in an
action surprising in violence and
energy all other phases of battle.

mier Clemenceau last night. In
these words the French leader ac-
curately summed up the prevailing
impressions.
Latest advices from the battle
front show that on the whole the
enemy suffered a check on the
days operations. The enemy
gained a slight advantage in the
center on a front of three and
three-quarter miles, about a fourth
of the entire line of attack. On

such losses that five divisions

| "Prussianism and the idea of en-

his point because, he asserted,

that within six weeks after the

valueless and had only been given
TO gain time and that, when an
increase OF Germany's submarine
fleet warranted, the promise
would be broken without hesita
