KAISER LEAVES
WEST COMMAND
HIS DREAMS OF AN ovERWHELM-
ING AND COMPLETE VICTORY
ARE SHATTERED TO BITS.
F0CH BIDDING HIS time
Meeting Assaults with Powerful Re.
sistance and Here and There
Conforming" Lines.

The second phase Of the great bat
tie along the Somme has died down.
1t lasted less than three days, and
the fighting has resolved itself into
more or less isolated engagements, in
which the French and British allies
have more than held their own.
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed at the
lower end of the battle zone, which
apparently they are attempting to en-
large for the purpose of getting elbow
room in which to move their vast
masses of troops.
Meanwhile, General Foch, the COM
mander-in-chief of the allies, is bid
ing his time, meeting the German as.
saults with powerful resistance, and
here and there conforming his lines
to the necessities of the battle. 1t Is
confidently stated at Paris that Foch
will not be drawn into any false
move-where each move is Of such
vital importance-but will strike with
his reserves at the moment chosen
by him.
There may be some significance in
the report that the German emperor,
after a conference on the western
front on Saturday with his chiefs, Won
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, intends
to proceed to Rumania. At the out.
set of the great German offensive,
when it was sweeping the allied forces
before it, Notwithstanding their tena-
cious resistance, Emperor William, It
was announced officially from Berlin,
was in supreme command. That an
nouncement was regarded at the time
as evidence that the emperor expect
ed a complete and decisive victory.
Since then, however, British and
French and American achievements
have come up.
West Of Noyan a German detach-
ment which had gained a foothold in
the French lines was forced out by
a counter-attack. Another attack at
Grivesnes was repulsed, but the Ger.
man efforts along the Disc to enlarge
their previous gains were continued
In the sector between Chauny and
Barisis. Here the French commander
deemed 1t advisable to withdraw to
positions previously prepared, and
they are being held strongly.
