General Bridges Discusses Pre-.
sent Battle Situation on
French Soil.
AMERICANS ARE IN LINE
British Military Authority In Wash
ington Says the Yankees May
Hold the Balance Between Vic
tory and Defeat.

Washington, June 4.-Genera
Bridges, head Of a special military
mission to the United States, sale
here in discussing the renewal OF
the German drive that American
troops have become vital factor in
the great battle III France and may
hold the balance between defeat and
victory.
This statement followed news from
the front that the American troops
lave already been shifted into posi-
tor to defend Paris.
Foes Three Detectives.
The detectives now before the Ger.
mans. the general said, appear to be
three-fold-the capture of Paris. the
division of the main Allied armies by
on advance through Amiens, and the
capture of the channel ports.
In concealing their preparations &C
as to make a surprise attack, Gen.
eral Bridges said. the Germans were
aided probably by four factors-their
preponderance of divisions. a good
railway system. the proximity OF
woods to their first detectives where
large numbers Of troops could be con.
cealed and the fact that this front
line had been organized for attack.
While now on narrow and danger.
Gus salient the general said. the Ger.
mans will be in favorable position
for advance on Paris should they be
successful in pushing out the west
leg Of the salient and joining 1t up
with the Amiens salient. That. he
said, appeared to be their intention
and they could be expected to call q
halt at the Marine.
Battle to Continue Weeks.
The Allies must now be prepared
either to see the offensive resumed
in the north soon, or else to see Ger
man divisions from the north sent
down to exploit the new successes.
The battle. he added. is likely t.
continue for weeks and will become
long drawn out struggle OF man

lies to husband their resources BY
giving ground for men where posi-
BILE.
"As the Germans began the attack
with only 16 divisions" he said, Il,
would appear that 1t has been more
successful than they anticipated. II
is probable that It was at first in
tended either in the nature of sec
ondary operation in order to draw
Allied reserves from the we'll pro
tected Amiens salient, or to strike
a heavy blow for the Marne-in or
der to cut the main communication
between Paris and Chalons-and t.
widen the too narrow Amiens SALEM
by fresh operation.
"The German higher command
probably considered in this case thai
the presence OF large forces in from,
OF such vital points as Ypres ant
Amiens had pinned the bulk Of tn.
Allied reserves to these positions"
