nearer and nearer to the coast
and vital centers of France. the
American people await with in
tense interest and tense suspense
the announcement that the tice
of battle has been definitely turn.
ed, that the allies have delivered
their great counter thrust and
that the Germans are being
hurled back toward the borders
of their own country.
That such announcement some
day will be made, every Ameri-
can honestly believes. The ques.
ton is, When? The answer is,
when America is prepared to de-
liver the blow. 1t is becoming
more and more evident that no
great counter-offensive can be
expected nor will be attempted
until America has sufficient of
fighting forces in France to as
sumo the. major role in such an
offensive.
That the Germans are being
led into a trap to be annihilated
and that General Foch is merely
hiding his time to strike a
smashing and decisive blow with
the Allied army of maneuver,
military experts tell us, is an il
fusion. The strategy of General
Foch is to hold out until the
Americans come and the strate-
gy Of General Hindenburg is to
win out before the Americans
come.
Writing in the June Review of
Reviews, Frank H. Simonds, one
of Americas leading military ex-
perts, says:
'1t is wisest to face the facts.
There is no reason to believe
and / have not the smallest be-
lief-that the Germans can win
this battle. And if they do not
win it they are gone. But they
have not shot their bolt They
have not abandoned their pur-
pose in consequence of their
great loss. They have prob
ably been less Immediately sue
cessful than they expected. This
is true. But we on the Allied
side, have been far more nearly
defeated than we dreamed of be-
ing.
LET us frankly face the fact
that for many weeks we shall
have to consider possibilities
which are far from pleasant.
The Allied problem, now, is to
avoid destructive defeat in the
months of this year. During this
time the Germans will have num-
bers practically equal to their OPP
ponents, possibly slightly great
er-that is during the time when
no considerable fraction of the
American troops now swarming
over the seas can be used in the
first line save in grave crises. If
Foch holds the Germans this
year he will accomplish a result
as magnificent as that of Petain
who held the Germans before
Verdun until the British were
ready.
81 think it a mistake to expect
some sudden turn of the tide,
some brilliant counter-offensive
by great allied army of man.
euver. My army friends tell me
that this will not occur, and that
it is an error to keep alive the il
fusion, which will only increase
the disappointment, if things be-
come critical again, as they well
may.
"Our casualty lists are begin
ming to indicate that the sad bus
mess has begun in earnest. In a
very real sense America is ar
