Present Attack Expected.
The present German attack has been
directed against precisely those sectors
in which the British were expecting to
be attacked, and the offensive has come
with real punctuality, both with re-
gard to the recent German time table
and to late allied expectation. For the
first time the Germans have paid little
regard to secrecy, for plainly we have
here no such surprise as won the bat
tie of the Dunajec and almost sufficed
to carry the Germans into Verdun. at
one bound. The reason is simple: Given

strength in this case, the enemy can

matter requiring such obvious and
enormous preparations as major Of
fensive.
asked is why the Germans attacked the
British and not the French? Before
attempting to answer 1t, the precau-
tionary statement should be made that
an attack upon the French is still to
be expected and is expected by the
French on the Rheims front, where the
stiffest sort of artillery firing has been
going on for many months.
Believe British Inferior.
The Germans have chosen to attack
the British because they have long
believed and frequently asserted that
the British army is tactically inferior
to their oyn-that is. that the volun-
teer forces of Britain, led in the main
by officers coming from civil life. are
no match for German armies led by
professional soldiers. for whom war is
a trade This disparity between the
two armies does not show. or even
exist, in trench warfare. as the Ger
mans readily concede, but they believe
that if the fighting ever returned to
the open theil superiority in maneu
yering would give them the decisive
advantage and lead to a real victory.

support OF these forecasts he has adj
Iuced the records Of British failures at

Seeks Fight in Open.
We may say, then, that the present
attack upon the British is predicated
upon the German conviction that, if he
can pierce the British line and drive
the British into the open he will be
success than would be possible, should
he win. similar success in his first
attacks upon the French. In addition,
the experience Of Verdun is a strong
argument against the. likelihood Of win
ming even the preliminary success
which would break the trench deadlock.
The next question is: Why have the
Germans selecred the front between the
Scarpe and tn Disc for their main at
tack. granting that what we are now
seeing is. in fact, the opening of the
grand assault? The answer is clear
On the front where the German is at
tacking. his lines Of communication are
best and the lines Of communication
and the defensive positions of his enemy
are poorest The reason for these con-
ditions is found in the fact that the
British. between the valley of the
Scarpe and of the Disc, between Cro,-
stiles and the environs of La Fere, are
occupying ground taken during the
great retreat of last year, while behind
them lies the desert created by the Ger
mans when they withdrew after the
battle Of the Somme.

Positions Of Two Forces.

Elsewhere along the whole British
front from the sea to the Disc the Brit
ish occupy the high ground won in the
battles of the four earlier campaigns. won
chiefly in the battles of Arras and of third
Ypres last year. But between the Scarpe
valley and the Disc the Germans are in
positions which they selected and pre-
pared before they began their retreat.
and the British are holding the ground
their foes expected them to hold. Only
south of Cambria has there been any
real change In the front since the end
of the German retreat, just a year ago,
and here 1t is slight, for the British
lost most Of all they temporarily oc-
cupfed in the unlucky battle of Cam
brai last autumn.
Thus on the sectors which are now
active the Germans possess the high
ground best suited for observation, the
gun positions, which they selected more
than a year ago, and in their immedi-
ate rear are several great trunk line
railroads coming down out OF Belgium
As bases for the great offensive the
Cambria and St Quentin regions con-
tain all that the enemy could desire,
both in the matter Of the road and of
railway resources.
