PARIS. August 2o.-The significance
of the present military situation is
gradually becoming apparent. Mar

in very difficult position. apparently
was TO yield when the Germans left
their continuous fortified line to en-
gage In repeated offensiyes- of open
warfare. When they were exhausted
he struck by counter and direct at
tack on the Marne and in the Amiens
salient.
This plan has been so successful
that many believe he will continue it
until his forces Overwhelmingly out
number the enemy. when the risk of
definitely assuming the offensive
might involve less danger.
German Plans Upset.
The Inducements. however. for the
allies to attack again are great, for
the German plans and morale are up
set. Time would give them oppor-
tunity to reorganize and perhaps Sc
cure reinforcements from their allies
and Russia.
Gen. Ludendorff. at the present, is
redoubling his efforts to hold on to
the Lassigny-Roye front, and is hold
ing on at the Aisne and the Vesle.
This does not mean that he will not
retire ultimately to the Hindenburg
line to relieve the pressure on his CEN

last year, and they are suffering from
the destruction of it that they
wrought in their retreat. In case they
withdrew again. the German right and
left wings would still offer. substantial
rewards to successful allied attack.

Foes Flanders Retreat.

Foes Flanders Retreat.T
in the Lys sector, west of Armen-
there's, the enemy has retreated over
Ia front OF nearly six miles. leaving
the town of Merville in British hands.
Between the Matz, and soises rivers the
French have fpashS their way to the
western outskirts of the dominating
position of Lassigny and farther south
in this hill and wooded region have
debouched from the Thiescourt wood
and also captured the town of Pim-
prez. situated in the Disc valley on
the Noyon-Compiegne- road.
Viewed on the war maps the gains
in the new operations are most impor-
rant ones for the allies. for, aside
from wide areas over which the en-
emy has been compelled to acknowl-
edge defeat. the weakening in the
German defense is becoming daily
more noticeable and apparently with
in a short time they probably will be
forced to commence retrograde
movement on scale that will mean
the entire bIotting QUA of old lines
and the taking up of new ones to the
