NEUTRALS CONCEDE
HUN MARINE DEFEAT

London, July H.-In spite OF the
vigorous attempts made by the Ger
man press and propaganda agencies
to conceal the defeat on the Marne.
the significance of the recent military
operations is not overlooked by
neutrals.
In Norway. for example, the mill
tary correspondent of the Morsen-
bladt. who has hitherto always iis-
played a profound respect for Ger
man military might, says:
Though the retreat brings the Ger
mans certain advantages, it is evident
that they only do it because of nee
essity. Their offensive of July Is.
planned on a great scale, has ended in
signal defeat. and the allies can regis
ter their first victory this year. Espe-
cially significant is the German de-
feat this time, as In no small degree
ascribed to the Americans"
! The Shipping Gazette points out: ~
For the Germans and for the repu-
tation of their armies the retreat is
a serious shock, especially when the
fact is borne in mind that this was
the greatest offensive yet planned on
the Western 'front.',
The Social Demokraten says:
1T is evident that disappointment
in Germany is exceedingly great The
whole German press, making a boast
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, induced
the Germans to believe that Paris was
about to fall but Paris Is more Sc
cure than In May or June. and most
people now believe the Germans VIII

pose of killing as many men as their
strength and engines of destruction
permit. ~
No possibility Of any great at
tack by Germans or the allies. upon
any other sector of the Western
front Is entertained by any of the
prominent military lecturers and
students of the War College. All
discussions center upon the line
which the Germans will seek to
hold and the ability of the allies to
throw Elm forces strong enough to
prevent the crown prince from
establishing strongly such a line.
The Ardre River.
Although some experts believe that
the Germans will be forced back to
the Aisne. the general opinion now
held. in view of the latest dispatches,
Is that the new German line will be
pitched along the Ardre River, run
ming northwest and thence following
the south bank of the Vesle River 70
Scissors. This line is naturally strong
and offers the best chance for the r.
forming of the beaten armies Of Vun
Below and Won Boehm.
The receipt Of the official advices
relative to the strength Of the forces
gathered to save the crown prince,
disclosed that from this time on the
greatest problem of the German
nation is. that of man power.
Germany's armed strength Is be-
ginning to feel the enormous STRAIN

Aside from these experiments the
