Tank-Piercing Shot
Now Used by Huns
Captured Orders Show How
Battle Monsters Have
Scared Germans
by The Associated Press)


WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
FRANCE, Sept. 1.--Germany's anti
tank crusade has reached O. stage
where every machine gunner in q seq.
tor where the Entente Allies are using
tanks has been supplied with armor
piercing bullets to reinforce the anti
tank guns.
In a recently captured troop COM
munlcation German expert described
the tank warfare as kind of largo
scale cavalry. The orders go into de-
tail regarding the German plans to
overcome the tanks of the Allies.
The communication says the tanks
must be fought along the same lines
as II they were great armored cavalry
The document adds that whenever
commanders believe the Allies will use
tanks orders should be issued To hat
terry commanders to have outposts If
ahtl-tank guns day and night to pro-
tect the light artillery at all costs.
Machine gunners are instructed how
to cooperate with the anti-tank gun
ners. The orders reiterate that tanks
must be considered cavalry on a largo
plan and that machine gunners with
armor-piercing bullets must take 81
prominent part in carrying out tho
scheme of the Germans to overcor -
the steel monsters.

British by Attack
On Lys Wipe Out
Menace to Calais

PARIS, Sept. 1.-There is no halt to
the Entente Allied progress. The oc-
cupation by the British of Mont KEN
mel, in the Lys salient, endangers the
railway lines from Lille to Haze
brouck. 1t was the strongest position
in that sector.
The Germans in their offensive capt
ured the position only after terrible
sacrifices, yet they relinquished it in
the face of heavy British pressure. The
fall of Mont KENNEL insures the safety
Of the Channel ports.
"Goodby to the menace of Dunkirk
and Calais" says Marcel Hutin, editor
of the echo de Paris" "The army Of
General Won Quasi Is in full retreat.
The Germans have been forced to cede
to the British most important terri
tory so dearly conquered between
Ypres and Meteren."
The Germans seem to be falling back
on the Queant Marcoing-Le Catelet-
Saint Quentin line. Their right wing
is now near Queant.
Four German armies are engaged in
the withdrawal, and the indications are
that the retirement is faster than the
enemy wishes.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 1.-The German
war correspondents take comfort in
the reflection that the operations on
the West front are going on satisfas.
torily and that a straight line" has
now been gained, which, they declare,
simplifies the defence and saves troops.
while the enemy is left in possession
of an "arid and completely devastated
crater field in the Somme desert"
The "Tageblatt" correspondent says:
Paris may rejoice at our abandonment.
of Noyon, but we must remember
Ludendorff's dictum: Operation means
movement"
In the view of the "Vorwaerts" cor.
respondent, however, the battle, which
a. the outset possessed a strategic
idea, when the French and British con.
Quoted their pincer-like operations
separately, has now degenerated into a
battle of attrition, recalling the last
tie. ~
"For that very reason" he says, at

and most important battle of the
whole war. If our lines hold we win.
We are now in a favorable position,
and the utter uselessness of the pres
ent fighting ought to bring the enemy
to reason"
A petulant note is struck In the
Emden "Allgemeine Zeitung," which
says that the German surrender OF
ground encourages the tribe of grum-
blers at home, who lament "our des-
perate situation"
1t adds: How those who cry
'Enough!' would have US stop fighting
without making our situation worse
We do not know
Germans Lack of Common Sense
The paper blames the popular dis
content on "the deficient political edu-
cation of the German people and their
absence of common sense generally"
The Hamburg "Nachrichten," dis.
cussing the tank feature, says that
most of the tanks are supplied by the
United States, and wanders off into
speculation as to whether unrestricted
U-boat warfare was not too dearly
bought. The Chauvinistic organ. OF
course, comes to the conclusion that
the United States would have entered
the war, anyway.

Slightest Mistake by Luden-
dorf May Turn Retreat
Into Disaster
Withdrawal Extensive
German Front Has Been Short
ened More Than 80 Miles
Since August 8
By Arthur S. Draper
(SpeciaL Gable to The Tribunal


Copyright. 1918. by The Tribune Association
Tho New York Tribune.)
LONDON, Sept. 1.-Ludendorff has
shortened his front more than eighty
miles since August 8. Whether di-
visions have been withdrawn from
other fronts to reinforce the Somme
army, only the high military leaders
can say. 1t is certain that Foch is
watching other places besides the
plains Of Picardy, and that he is look
ing forward to the daily developments
there.
The last few days have shown that
Ludendorff has concentrated large
forces in front Of Horne's First Army,
in the Arras sector, and before Hum
bert's army operating around Noyon.
The enemy's centre is held lightly. The
natural defences in the south are even
stronger than the prepared defences
east of Arras, but the enemy's with
drawal on the north is fraught with
far greater danger.
In the north counter attacks have
been made with several divisions, while
in the south only as many regiments
have been employed.
There are several reasons why Focn
might be inclined to hasten decision
and press forward at a time when he
does not enjoy the numerical superb
GRITTY which he would like and which
he will have next spring. The first Of
these is that Ludcndorf has not re-
gained his balance. The second is that
a halt now would mean granting the
enemy an opportunity to dig in for the
winter. And the third is that the Ger
man civilian and military morale is
dropping rapidly.
On the other hand, Foch has used
his forces sparingly and he never in
vests heavily unless he is certain of big
immediate returns. He has demon
strated this in every operation since
July Is. No offensive has been launched
at such small initial cost os those on
the Somme. His patience is monu-
mental.
Next to July Is this is the most
critical date of the 1918 campaign. 1t
is critical, fortunately, for the enemy
rather than the Allies, but it is criti-
cal because all the developments of the
next few days will decide how much
longer the war is going to last.
The military mannuvres are affect
ing morale profoundly. The Germans
have escaped disaster by a narrow mar
gin, and they appreciate the fact. They
are not yet out of the woods, and they
realize it. Foch may find an opening,
Ludendorff may make a slip and
heavy reverse will become a disaster.
There are about two months of fight
ing weather remaining, and in that
time many things may happen. 1t took
almost military miracle. The condi-
tons now are much more favorable for
the Allies, and there is cause for
optimism.
