FOch Is Content To Await Addi-
ton of Americans.
Present Menace Merely Means
Greater Checking Effort.
FINAL BATTLE YET TO COME
Strategy of General FOch Is
Approved by Americans.

BY CARL d. GROAT.

Washington, April 27.-The Ger
man drive menace against the chan
mel is forcing the allies to use great
efforts to check the foe. This menace
is so serious that to stop the Ger
mans is the most to be expected for
some time and it is certain there will
be no maj or allied counter offensive
for the present.
American and foreign army men
here today agreed on these points.
following Teuton capture of the tao
tically important Mont KENNEL. The
foreigners particularly warned that
the outcome of the present offensive
will not be determinant, but that the
struggle will go on for months. until
the allied strength is greater thru re-
Inducements. These achievements
must come mainly from America. and
it is a military axiom that the last
fresh man wins the battle.
Foch's Strategy Approved.
Fochs strategy-thoroly approved
by American off1cials-is to wear down
the German as much as possible.
There can be no mistaking that the
allied reserve has been heavily tapped
| for forces simply to hold the Germans
thus far. This tapping quite evidently
has been so serious that fresh forces
must be hurried in before the allies
can even think of making a telling
| counter stroke.
Americans Hurrying Across.
American forces are going across in
consta ntly increasing numbers. Italian
! reinforcements are being pushed to
| the westward and British reserves are
pouring over the channel.
When Hindenburg has exhausted
his main strength and slaughtered an
incomparably large force, Foch will
have the fresh men to win battles
| The days are serious. close to criti-
cal, but there is confidence in the flu
ture, military experts say unreserv-
ed1y
