The possession Of Amiens was an
objective OF the Germans in the
first OF their two great drives THIS
year. Pad they been able to take
il after the collapse Of the British
fifth army. the result would have
been disastrous 20 the allies ard
would probably have entailed "A
complete separation between the
British and French and a retreat OF
the British northwarJ toward the
channel ports
70 is essential TO recognize that
today Amiens has not the same
value. although il remains an eX-
ceedingly important factor. Time
has been allowed the allies 10 adjust
their rearward communication and
IL rs probable that arrangements
have been made against the possible
loss Of the town.
Value OF Amicns.
The value Of Amiens lies i'm the
fact that it is the meeting place
OF several railroads of very great
roads from Havre and Rouen. upon
which the British depend for most
of their supplies from Great Britain.
? D IL also come several railroads
from Paris I'm fact, It Is the neck
of the bottle through which all the
important railroads south Of the
SOmme pass. and from which radi-
ate nOrthward the railroads TO the
channel and Belgium.
TIE Germans are again attacking
"a junction point. Five weeks ago
they made their first assault upon
the army which was the link be-
tween the British and the French
forces. and at the point where this
army touched the French on the
south and the third British army
on the north. II is an OBVIOUS fact
that the point of junction between
two armies is the weak point, owing
To possible confusion or command
and this is particularly true where
the two armies are of different ma
-iOnalities and speak different Ian
guages The German success Il the
Somme was partly due 10 confusion
arising from this fact and their fur
Their success at Armentieres was in
part due u an attack upon the POr-
turliese where their front interrupt

what was left Of Il. together with
new troops sent from England, we're
placed under the command of Gen.
RawIinson. who was himself put un-
der the command OF a French gen
eral FayoIle. who now directs
French and British armies at the
meeting point of the British and
French lines. BY placing all the
armies at the danger point under a
single command, Gen. Foch has
sought 10 minimize the natural dan

another super-gun within range OF
British towns.
Would Avoid Disaster.
on the other hand, such "a retrest
would avoid supreme disaster
such as the development and cap-
ture OF the British army. Therefore
10 is highly essential that the gate
way should be held open for such a
retreat If il becomes necessary and
the German advances upon Amiens;
is particularly dangerous because il
narrows the doorway through
which Sir Douglas Haigs' troops
must come south in case Of disaster
or defeat 20 the north.
1t is too early 70 measure the i'm
povtance Of the present German
blow. II is too early 20 tell whether
il is a local offensive for local aims
or a resumption of the great Of
fensive. 10 is plain that the Ger
mans are making a new effort to
get Amiens. and i'm this effort they
have achieved considerable local
successes. both at Hangar and az
Villiers- Bretonneux.
As TO our American troops who
are participating, this participa-
ton would seem 20 indicate that
they have been used instead Of a
portion of FOch's army OF man
euver. We are told that 100, 900
American troops had been sent
north. Sufficient time has elapsed
TO see them at least brigaded with
French and British troops, accord
ingly il would seem that they are
now beginning TO take their part in
great struggle by comparison
with which the recent fighting
north of Toul was but a skirmish.

attack on the narrow front between
the Avre and the Somme rivers. He
is rather less than 10 miles from
Amiens and beyond Villiers- Breton
neuN. where ne has taken the
ground which slopes downward to-
ward the city, which is visible from
where ne stands. But as he ad-
vances he is advancing IN an ever
narrowing salient between the
SOmme and the Avre rivers which
meet just east Of Amiens. Unless
he can break down one side or the
other Of this salient he will suffer
terribly from allied artillery fire in
positions north and south OF the
salient on high ground which com
mands IL; and unless he forces the
crossing Of the Somme he is likely
to be stopped in marshy district a
mile or so east of Amiens.
But his artillery has already de-
mOlished much OF the city OF
Amiens and repeated IN the case OF
the Amiens cathedral his exploit at
Rheims His heavy artillery must
already have begun 10 damaEe and
cripple railroad communication in
the city and if he can get forward
three or four miles more Amiens
will substantially be out Of business
as "a railroad point. II may be that
the present operation is intended to
destroy allied railway communicd-
tons and facilities between the
north and. south before tho German
resumes his large operation north or
south of Amiens.
No Fatal Consequences.
IL is well to remem Der that the
capture Of Amiens now will not nee
essarily have the fatal consequences
il would have had "A month ago II
will not necessarily rupture the al
lied front. or separate the British
from the French. Too much time
has been allowed the allies to con-
struct other lines and to prepare
their communications. On the other
hand II is equally clear that the fall
of Amiens will immensely help the
German I'm his subsequent operations
TO the northward if he means to at
tack there. II will deepen the Ar
ras salient. which is already pro-
nounced. and it viii carry the Ger
mans a little further towards the
sea.
The difficulties Of the British sit
uation today are mainly due To the
fact that they are lighting with
their backs to the channel which Is
not more than 30 or 40 miles from
their front line.
They cannot. as did the Prussians
i'm 1915, retreat at Will from posi-
ton % position, because they are
almost literally standing with their
backs 10 the wall.
Further than this. If the German
attacks Amiens and takes it. he very
much constructs the gap by which
French and British troops might
retire southwark in line with the
French. if il became necessary to
evacuate the north to avoid isola-
tion and capture.
Certain British critics have al
ready spoken OF the possibility OF
the retirement OF the British army
south of tie Somme This is en-
tirely unlikely except in case Of ex-
treme peril, because il would cause
the abandOnmeL. of the channel
ports, and the evacuation of a con-
siderable part of northern France:
it would also bring the kaiser 10 the
Straits of Dover and il might bring
