GERMAN PRESS
WROUGHT UP OVER
SUCCESS OF ALLIES

WASHINGTON, July 23.--An Of
fetal dispatch today from Switzerland
says the German newspapers not only
admit the German offensive has fail
ed, but express fear that Gen. Foch
has built up an army Of reserves that
will enable him to wrest the offensive
from the German high command.
The Frankfurter Zeitung asserts
the entire strategical plan Of linden
burg is compromised by the attack on
the Aisne-Marne front.
Something new appears in the
strategical situation" says this pa
per. "Gen. Foch has been able to
form an important army of reserves.
Foch's attacks aims to deal a blow in
the back Of Boehm's army and should
lit be successful it might compel this
army to retreat under most unfavor-
able conditions.
"Foch's attack threatens the whole
of Hindenburg's plans"
The Strassburger Post says the
public had in general attached too
great hopes to the German offensive
at Rheims, and asks: "From where
do these troops Gomez Have the
American transports really brought
them more quickly tnan was expect
ed?"
The Muenchener Neueste Nachrich-
ten says France is still very strong;
that America has more than half a
plillio nsoldiers in France, and that
the English army has been recon-
structed and put into perfect state.
Il odds that it viii take weeks, per-
haps, to wrest the initiative from
Gen. Foch.
The Koelnische Volks ZeituHs says
the fact must no longer be hidden
that German deserters have made use
.of their knowledge Of the plans Of
operation TO betray their country.

Allied Armies Have Steadily Advaced
During Past Three Days, in Face Of
Fifteen Divisions of German Rein

WASHINGTON, July "a. (By the United Press)-In the
face of at least fifteen German divisions of renfocemen the
Allied armies fighting in the SossonsRhems salient have
steadily advanced during the past three days. Chief Of Staff
March told correspondents today
Between the Mane and Rheims the enemy has been pushed
back 10ie front to depth of from and oneha to
two miles The Germans have only rail line which
to carry out their retreat unless they have constructed some

scon Of the great Franco noensve The German
retreat he said in respects similar to the Austrian

movements Of the allies and made it possible to push back the

attack equal to the territory the Allies lost in Flanders last
April March revealed.

German Crown Prince Suddenly
Changes Plans For Strategic Retreat
In Soissons-R Rheims Salient

PARIS, July "a (By the United Press s)1O:O5 g. M.
The German Crown Prince has suddenly changed his plans for
strategic retreat the Soissons Rheims salient and has de-
termined to fgt it out there's
This decision is indicated by the stienng of the enemy
sance and increasing renforcemens It also borne out
by German prisoners today who declared that the withdrawal
order had been countermanded
They offer explanations but military authorities believe
that German politicians fearing internal effects from the
huge retirement and forced to change the plans
The prince continues to order divisions into the
pocket drawing renforcemens from far north the main
British front.
German losses in this region estimated from $4,000
to 10000 men, including $4,000 prisoners.

Prisoners 4 Deep
And a Mile Long

London, July 23. Herbert Bailey,
correspondent Of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphs from the American army in
France that the number Of prisoners
IS increasing hourly. II saw many en-
the road yesterday" he says. "In a
town behind the Scissors front they
were remarkable sight. Headed by
at least thirty officers, the processio-,
which was four deep, stretched fully
one mile.
"They were well built men, young
ard apparently in excellent condi-
tom and the happy smiles on their
faces confirmed what | was told yes

low. AS they passed, the townspeo-
pie ironically cried out, Mach PARISH

Gen. Foch VIII
Not Be Trapped
By Hindenburg
Even Reckless Expenditure Of
German Man-Power VIII
Not Succeed.
By j. W. T. Mason,
United States War Expert.

NEW YORK, July General
Foch is still conducting his attacks
along the -Marne salient warily,
giving Won Hindenburg no chance to
catch the Franco American troops in
a position where they might be trap
ped by a sudden and reckless expen-
diture of German man-power.
The present engagement cannot be
judged as if it were a major offensive.
1t is therefore perfectly in accord
with every technical consideration for
General Foch to conserve his own
armies in face Of the continual ar
rival Of fresh German reserves to the
south fthe Aisne. The Interrupt
ton Of Won Hindenburg's supply sys-
tenn is exerting inexorable pressure
upon the Germans. This work, how
ever, is slow. The same result could
be accomplished more rapidly by un-
interrupted French and American at
tacks. These assaults, however,
would certainly cause very heavy all
lied casualties, which is contrary to
General Foch's present principles.
Won Hindenburg's strategic plans
for further offensives have been com
pletely demoralized BY the French
and Americans during the last six
days. This is sufficient result for
the immediate future. 1t is certain
that Won Hndenburg cannot remain
on his present line for an indefinite
period. He must move still further
north toward the Aisne. If he does
not do so, his lines Of communiva-
ton will grow increasingly precarious
and the danger of disaster viii con-
|tinue.
There is cause for satisfaction
among the allies that General Foch
mas again demonstrated his absolute
self-mastery by slowing the French
and American assaults at this time.
General Foch is by temperament and
training an offensive fighter. Defen-
sive warfare is abhorrent to him. A
leader with this characteristic, but
with less far-seeing wisdom than
General Foch might have been infu-
enced by the early success Of the
Marine fighting to become deeply in
volved. General Foch knows how to
wait. That is the best assurance Of
the final success Of the allies cause.

Huge Army
To Be Raised
At Early Date
Changes Are Also To Be Made
In Draft Ages AT Once.

WASHINGTON, July 49, With
probably not much more than a quar-
ter Of million American troops en-
gagged in the present battle, but with
virtually a million others either in
France or Fastening across the ocean
to join in the fight, Gen. Foch has
been able to turn the tables on the
enemy and strike a blow that has
changed the whole trend of the war
Officials here, while fully recog,
iiizing the factor that the Americans
are today only a comparatively small
part of the vast forces the supreme
cor mander is using in working out
his strategic designs, realize the fact
that the American army, going for.
ward in constantly increasing
stream, is the governing factor in re.
storing the initiative to the allied
forces. Plans are therefore taking
shape rapidly at the war department
to accelerate and enlarge the Ameri-
can military program.
It is now virtually certain Gen
Foch win have at least 100000 Am
erican troops to supplement his allied
armies before the present fighting
season closes. Secretary Baker an.
nounced today the war departments
new program embraces enlarged army
appropriations, notifications Of the
draft ages to include the reserve Of
| fighting men and plans 70 ra larger
mobilization Of the army than any
yet undertaken would soon be ready
for congress. He would give no de-
tails, but the plans probably aim at
getting under arms without delay a
total force not far short of the s.
100000 figure widely discussed in
congress when the subject was last
Under consideration there.
