It appeared possible to some officers

American attack at some point on the
hne which It holds beyond verdun,
where there has been no recent fighting.
No reports, Official or unofficial, have
been received, however, throwing anv
light on Genearl Pershine'sp plans or the
part assigned to him by Marshal Foch
in the present offensive campaisn.
The primary purpose OF the two
blows Marshal Foch has struck has
been realized. Both in tho Aisne-
Marne battle and gain IN Pfcardy the
attacks were defensive measures to

battle, with Foch's armies assuming
the offensive In the fullest sense Of the
word and striking to force the enemy
hack In such manner that he can
not avail himself OF his old IIinden-
burg line defenses.
It appears very probable to some OBJ
servers that the Flanders front might

touble drive by British forces to pinch

pinched out at the Marine and again in
