American manpower IN France has
reached its full strength General
F,och has shown highly unusual quail
ties of patience and avoidance Of
temptation. He can be trusted there
fore not to waste Americas stTengt
in a. series of secondary offensiyes.
1t is increasingly unlikely that this
blow will fall on the Germans IN
Picardy or Flanders. The Lorraine
front continues TO offer the greater
possibilities of success The cap
tire of Metz may represent the first
great victory of the United States
in Europe. The retention by the Am
orleans Of their trench positions in
eastern France strongly suggests
that Foch is relying on General
Pershings men for major operations
in that direction. From Metz to the
Rhine seems TO be the road America
viii take to win the war for de
mScracy.
