tend. Northeast of verdun are the
iron mines of Briey on one hand. and
farther east there is the possibility
of outfianking Metz. cutting one of
ton with Germany, and approaching the
Rhine. 1t should not be forgotten,
however, that it is a difficult task to
diSlodge the Germans from prepared,
fortified positions such as exist on
both tanks.
If open warfare has been renewed
this season. it is because the Ger
mans chose to abandon permanent po-
sitions for what proved to be a sue
cession of disastrous open warfare
offensives. Nevertheless, the disad-
strategy. which SO long weighed on
the allies, is now confronting the Ger
man stan. Time will only make their
position worse. For this reason. with
dwindling man power, they are
trians. Firms, Poles and Russians.
Withdrawal Is Indicated.
sweeping withdrawal. extending to
other portions of the front, similar to
Hindenburg's tactics of last year.
This would relieve the German army
Of the danger Of a serious offensive
ON cur part for long period.
In view Of the dislike Of the Ger
man staff for the defensive, such a
wide-extended withdrawal might fore
shadow a German attempt to re-
sumo the initiative by attacking Italy.
The assumption of command of the
Austrian army by the German staff
lends color to such hypothesis.
The allies therefore, have reason to
strike before the Germans deyelop
such action.
The effectiveness Of the American
Army will improve with every month.
Still. today, with their dash and vital
ity during the shortness of their war
experience, they are more valuable in
offensive than in defensive fighting
Therefore, Marshal Foch may be guild
ed by the old military maxim that,
wherever possible. it is the best policy
! to follow up a success.
