H|NDENBURG THROWS
RESERVE DIVISIONS
into CAMBRIA front
Germany Now Feels KeenIy
Lack Of Man Power AT
Stretegic Points.
By ]. W. 7. Mason
nited Press war expert

(Unlted Press war eXpert)
New York, Sept. Avon Hindenburg
is throwing reserves into the Cambria
Douai sector with the utmost rapidity,
for the purpose of preventing his re.
treat from becoming a rout. The con
tinuation of Marshal Haig's pressure in
this area is being developed against
Cambria from two directions, west and
southwest. The development of Cambria
is thus increasingly threatened. Won
Hindenburg is adopting desperate expe-
dents to prevent an overwhelming rush
from cutting off Cambria before the
German plans are perfected for its or
derby evacuation.
To make Won Hindenourg's problems
more difficult, Field Marshal Haig is
now threatening Douai as well as Cam
brai. The development of this new at
tack, 10 miles to the north Of Cambria
operations, greatly enlarges the line ov-
er which Won Hindenburg must spread
his reserves. The occupation of Doui
plematurely by the British, while not as
disastrous as would be such a catas-
trophe to the Germans at Cambria,
would have an important influence upon
the security of the German positions de
Tending Lille. Won Hindenburg therefore
must divide his attention between hold
ing for the time being, both Cambria
and Douai.
Where to get reserves for this dou-
BILE duty is now Won Hindenburg' s most
pressing problem. His normal reserve
accumulation has been worn away by
the fighting during the past five and
a half months. He has been unable to
gather a new force by shortening his
line to the present, because the casual
ties he has suffered more than euun,A,d
the saving of men through the reduc-
ton of trench mileage.
Fresh %manpower is practically non
existent for the Germaps, The reinforce.
ments sent into the Cambrai-D ouai area
are PROFESSIONALLY secondary fighting
material, wearied and without a spirited
morale. This means Won Hindenburg
cannot get along with the usual small
number of units for holding strong de-
fensive positions. Two or three times
the number of men formerly required
must be thrown into the combat to pro.
tect the LING. In other words, Won Hin.
denburg must match the allies man for
man if Cambria and Douai are to be
retained in German hands a little long
er. Formerly one defender to from two
to three of an attacking force was con,
sidered a safe proportion. To bring
about this accumulation of reserves il
the northern fighting area, however
Won Hindenburg must begin to quickly
shorten his line elsewhere, or else aban
don the Cambria sector outright.

these places. As for Lens, l am permit
ted to say that not only Lens itself,
but the coal basin which is of the ut
most value, are probably already south

The French are keeping up their
pressure eastward of the Canal Du

northward of Scissors.
General Mangin is localizing his
blows for the moment, but those in the
direction of Anizy are increasing the
crown princes uneasiness along the

The enemy is making the most des-
perate effort to hold up the French
hereabouts, hurting the Prussian
guards into the fray time and time
again. They know that yielding here
will compromise the entire line from

Field Marshal Haig announced TO-DAY
"On the battle front minor actions
arc reported in different localities -
said Haig.
"We have reached the east part Of
the Vaux woods north of Moislains
and have advanced slightly at other
points. Generally our troops have
reached the line of the Canal Du Nord
and north Of the ras-Cambrai road
have occupied Ecourt.St. Quentin.
Gin the Lys sector, further progress
was made by us yesterday and last
night both south and north Of the riv-
er. Our troops are approaching Neuve-
Chapelle and La Ventie and have gain
ed possession of Sailly-Sur-La-Lys,
