Paris, Sept. 5.-The German gen
eral staff is today facing the possible
ity of vast new withdrawal which
would entail giving up practically the
remainder of France under the Teu-
tonic heel,
1t is practically certain that the
plans of Hindenburg and Ludendorff
must undergo important revisions,
owing to the British blow in the Sem
see valley. which, as cable, has
brought the allies to within seven
miles of Cambria and within six
miles of Douai or less than the dis
lance from the Battery to the Central
park lake in New York. while impor-
tant railway communications between
Douai and Cambria as we'll as the
highways and communications gener-
ally between these two cities are
themselves generally dominated.

Unless the Germans can stop the
advance of General Horne the whole

appears to be nothing until the line
is reached running from Newport on
the Belgian seacoast, past Lille and
Mons. from there to Mesieres and
Charleville. thru the valley of the
Meuse and joining up with the old
line at Pont-A-Mousson.
Such a retreat would open the eyes
of even the German home folk to such
an extent that the higher command
VIII not dare to face it unless forced
to do so by allied blows. The Ger
mans will Enthusiastically sacrifice addi-
tionai legions before they begin such
a crawl. They may yet be forced to
save themselves by retreating from the
Htndenburg line as they did of old.
What Huns Hoped.
There is reason to believe that the
Germans hoped to snatch the initia-
tive from the allies before the end of
the seasons campaign by rapidly with
drawing the bulk oil their armies to
the Hindenburg line. leaving their
picked troops and a screen of machine
guns and heavy artillery to prevent the
rapid advance of the allies
It is argued that they might have
sufncient divisions rested to form are
serve for use as storm troops, these to
attack at the precise moment when
the allies came into contact with the
Hindenburg line. when the Germans
might believe them tired and disor-
ganized.
