Frontier Before Winter


George has told US how the gaps in the
army caused by the April and May de-
feats had been filled, how the lost ar
tillery had been replaced A British
army, burning to avenge its defeats of
the earlier days and emulate French and
American achievements on the offensive
in the Marne fighting, was now ready to
step out of the lines to which it had
been driven three months before
In a measure the situation recalled
the conditions of June and July in 1916.
Then the Germans had gambled on four
months Of immunity from British inter
ference while they reduced Verdun Now
similar period had been gained for
them by their successes against the Brit
ish in the spring. They had put the
British out of the reckoning for period
within which they had expected to dis
pose of the French, giving small heed
to any American contingents, But the
end of the three months saw their failure
against the French in Champagne as
complete as had been their failure before
Verdun two years earlier, while the
Americans were already playing real
part in the game.
1t was always certain that if the Ger
mans failed to dispose of the French be-
fore the British recovered from their de-
feats the result would be dangerous for
Ludendorff. He had gambled on a de-
cisive victory against the French and
his gamble had turned out badly; he was
now to pay the price of his unsuccessful
risks, a price that he must have fore
seen when he decided to stake all on
single blow, but price which was bound
to be a tax upon his already greatly
strained resources.

The Third Battle
OF the Sornme

Now, TO understand the development
OF the Foch offensive in Picardy, which
will undoubtedly be known as the Third
Battle of the Somme, it is necessary to
90 back for a moment to the progress of
the campaign In this region. On March
Il the Germans struck at the point of
junction between French and British
lines along the Disc and thence north
ward to the Scarpe, with the obvious in
tention Of driving wedge between the
British and French armies routing the
former and rolling them back north of
the Somnle. Thus defeated and con-
tanned behind the Somme, the Germans
calculated that the British would be
eliminated from the campaign and their
own hands would be free to dispose of
the French.
The blow was delivered by Hutier, who
used upward of forty divisions and
scored the greatest victory on the West
ern front since the warfare of positions
began. But his success fell just short
OF being decisive. Coughs Fifth Brit
ish Army was practically destroyed;
great gap was opened between the Brit
ism and French armies; but owing to the
rapidity with which French troops were
brought up and the skill with which they
were handled by Fayolle the gap was
closed and the German thrust came to
an end east of Amiens, but near enough

A subsidiary attack in Flanders led

Ludendorff's Exposed Position in Hi
Three Salients Gave Allies Their
Chance to Attack-Germans
Have Suffered a Paralyzing
Defeat, Their Worst of War
By FRANK II. SIMONDS
Author of 'SThe World War;" "They Shall Not Pass

The past two weeks have seen one of
tho most momentous changes in the
whole history of the World War. Hav-
ing exploited his victory between the
Marine and the Aisne to its full meas
ure. but wisely declining to repeat the
old blunders of the Somme and Of Flan-
ders. Marshal Foch on August shifted
his field of action to the familiar battle
ground of the Somme and opened the
first Allied offensive of the campaign of
1918. By this blow he definitely indi-
Gated that he regarded the time as come
when the balance had shifted to the
Allied side, and that the hour was over
when inferiority in numbers and of ma
terial condemned the Allies to the de-
fensive on the Western front.
Fochs attack in Picardy resembled in
many ways his counter offensive between
the Aisne and the Marne, but in a mill
tary sense it was quite different thing.
In the earlier operation Foch struck to
bring to halt and throw back a dan
gerous German offensive, and his blow
was directed at the flank Of a German
army engaged in an operation organized
and planned by Ludendorff. His stroke
was defensive blow, and it had ex-
hausted it's possibilities when it had COM
PEELED the German to evacuate certain
area of ground, part of it taken in the
operation which was still in progress,
part of it taken in any earlier offensive
designed to prepare the way for the later
undertaking.
But in Picardy Foch was acting not
to block German operation, but to take
advantage of the situation in which
earlier German operations had placed
the foe. His hands were free; he could
attack where and when he chose; and the
disorganization of the enemy due to the
recent defeat gave him that security
against a German counter blow which
has not been possessed before this year.
He had, moreover, the great advantage
of having used far fewer troops in the
Second Battle of the Marne than his
enemy. He had needed much smaller
numbers to take advantages offered by
enemy laundering. Ludendortf had been
compelled to draw troops from the north
to aid those in the south, but Foch had
not been compelled to make correspond
ing drafts upon the British, and as a re-
suit he had the British army intact for
the new effort, while the American con-
tributions had enabled him also to save
certain French reserves for the Somme
attack
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18
Germans Were
Expecting Trouble

1t was clear in the first days of Au-
gust that the Germans expected trouble
along the Somme, for they drew back
their front lines from positions west of
the Avre and the Ancre and endeavored
to strengthen their positions behind both
of these little streams, while at the same
time they executed similar withdrawal
in the point of the Flanders salient.
These signs were sufficient evidence that
Ludendorff recognized that the offensive
had passed to Foch and that heavy
blow was coming between the Disc and
the sea, but how heavy he could not
foresee.
On the morning of August 8 the Brit
ish all the way from Albert, north of the
Somme and just east of the Ancre, to
their point of junction with the French
below tie AmiensSt. Quentin highway,
the famous old Roman road, steppe' out
of their lines and began an offensive
This operation was made by Rawlinson
commanding the Fourth British Army
as ne had commanded the same army in
the First Battle IF the Somme To the
south French army under General
Debeny attacked astride the Avre, from
the British flank to the vicinity of Mont
ddier.
There was no preliminary lombard
ment, only creeping barrage, which
preceded the advancing British Ca
nadians and Australians on their rush
for the German lines. A complete sur
prise was the result, and in the next
few hours the German lines were broken
on a front ola dozen miles and a huge
number of British tanks were pouring
through the gap, smashing German nests
of machine guns and points Of support,
while cavalry made it's first general op-
GRAFTON on the British front of the whole
period since the trench war began.
Again it was demonstrated that the
element Of surprise, restored to The war
fare of positions by Hutier's method, was
the prime requisite Of success. Once
more, as at CambraI surprise gave the
British an immediate gain, but unlike
Cambria the new operation was one
which had been carefully prepared with
a clear view. TO utilizing any gains,/ AS
a result the British advance was for
three days unchecked. In that time
more than dozen miles were covered,
and by Saturday, August 10, British and
French cavalry were ranging the terri
tory behind the old front of the first
days of the Somme in 1916, and the Brit
ish troops had reached, and even at points
Nightly passed, the lines on which the
Germans had stood on July / of that
earlier year. Chaulnes was at least
temporarily occupied by the cavalry
patrols.
Meantime, the French to the south met
with sharper resistance at the outset, but
by Saturday had pushed east and north
of Montdidier and turned the Germans
out of this extreme eastern point in their
line. At this moment still another
French army, under General Humbert,
took up the offensive from Montdidier to
the Disc and began to push north and
east over the ground which had seen the

or the salient with Scissors and Rove

Tardenois in the Marne salient The
chief difference in the situation lay in
the fact that in the Marne salient
great army had been collected for an
offensive, \while in the Somme salient
there were only the ordinary holding
troops, which would make the German
problem of retreat simpler.
British Reorganized
And Ready for Blow
1t was now obviously the turn of the
British to take the lead and bear the
burden of the fighting. The last con-
siderable British engagement had taken
place on April 20, when the German
effort in Flanders had been definitely
checked. For more than three months
Haig's army had been refitting and re-
organizing after the terrible experiences
of March and April. It's losses had been
replaced, its divisions brought up to
full strength. Not less than nine

close to 1,25O,000 men were available,
the strongest force Britain had put into
the French field during the war.
More than this, for the offensive which
was now to come the preparations had
been going forward for many weeks.

were to be the point of the wedge, to be

the advantage of the Allies.
"The reason why the general reserve

fully constituted. General Foch knows

til he is certain there will not be another

out 1t was becoming clear that they must
eventually retire behind the upper
oomme on line from Arras through
Sapaume, Peronne and Ham to the high
ground above the Disc and between
Noyon and Chauny.
At tins moment the Allies had def
nltely abolished the menace to Paris con-
stltuted by the Montdidier salient. the
Oise avenue, like the Marne route was
not only barred, but doubly barred. They
mad cleared the Germans away from
Amlens, lnsuring the union between the
BRUSH and French armies, reopening all
the Vital railroad lines which meet at this
city and, above all, the main Paris
Amlens-Calais line, which had been cut
by indirect fire ever since the March of
1enslve. This was a gain connarahle
with the clearing of the Paris-Chalons-
Nancy railroad as result of the Marine
counter offensive. Together these tri-
umphs restored the two vital lines of
railroad, which had been cut by the Ger
man offensive. The gain was incalcu-
liable, both with respect to the future Sc
curity of the Anglo-French commun;ca-
tons and the greater efficiency of Allied
transport. On the larger side the onlv
serious consequences of the German
gains of the spring and early summer
were now abolished; what remained was
to measure the extent Of the injury the
Germans were still to suffer.
BY the second blow Foch had definite
~ wrested the offensive from Ludendorff:
he was now calling the tune and it was
his foe who was doing the dancing. The
whole character of the campaign had
changed. 1t was no longer a question
OF whether the German advance could
be checked, but how far the Allied Of
fensiVe would sweep and what disloca-
tons of the German front between
Rheims and Arras were inevitable.

Why Foch Attacked

"The day" Colonel Azan foresaw came
when Ludendorff's defeat between the
Marne and the Asne had consumed a
large portion of his remaining reserves,
depressed the spirits of his army and gen
orally changed the whole strategic situa-
ton. America had provided Foch with
number of divisions of reserves imme-
diately available and an almost unlimited
number bound to become available at
regular intervals. He had spent his
troops with great economy; Ludendorff
had used his with extreme prodigality.
1t was now within Foch's power to exploit
the weaknesses of his foes positions,

of permanent occupation, but, as l have

Worst Defeat
Of the War

AS close this article on Monday,
August II, the problem set for Luden-
dorff is clear. Temporarily the German
resistance has stiffened the German de-
fence of the high ground between Las
slgny and Noyon, and north of the Somme
aeout Bapaume and has enabled the
enemy to rally on the old front of july

that this rally is but temporary. com
parable with the stand above the Ourco
IN the Marne retreat. The real question
IS now whether Ludendorff can stand on
the line of the upper Somme or must
go back to the old Hindenburg line, from
which he started in March This is en-
tlreiy like the other problem of the Aisne
or the Vesle line in the Marine operation.
If Ludendorf has to go back to the Hin
denourg line then there will be q gen
eral retirement from Rheims to Arras:
the Germans will nave to quit the Vesle
Tor the Aisne, evacuate much ground be-
tween the Aisne and the Oise and SUP
render the old battlefield of the Somrne.
They have already been thrust back into
the desert created by them in their re-
treat of 1917 and have lost all real
profit gained by their spring and sum-
mer campaign.
In sum, we have seen one of the gr
victories Of the Western front. even II
there be no considerable further retreat

their worst defeat of the war, not a de-
feat like the First or the Second Marne

was baked and they were compelled to
readjust their lines), but defeat ana q
paralyzing defeat, following an Allied
offensive. Their whole campaign is now
in the discard; what remains to be es-
tablished is the extent of their retreat.
Nor is it likely that even a temporary
halt at the Somme or even at the Hin
denburg line will mark the end for the
campaign of their withdrawal Rather
it is within reason now to hope that they
may be pushed to the French frontier be-
fore snow flies. For Foch is only begin
