GEN.FOCH THWARTED ENEMY PEACE DRIVE
Program Interrupted by MiIi- tary Blows Delivered by Allies

Washington Aug, 27.-The German advance on Paris and the Channel ports is not the only enemy offensive that was stopped by General Foch's attacks.
 If the Germans had not been driv- en back from the Marne and in Pi- cardy we would have by now been Tn the midst of a peace offensive. The stage was set for it. The German newspapers suddenly converted to the release of Begium after their long continued demand for it's disintegra- ton, and the recent speeches by Ger man statesmen were all flags that showed how the wind was blowing.
 The retreat of the Germans has stopped the peace offensive for the moment but it will be resumed. Our enemy is too wise to broach the sub- ject while the allies are advancing vic toriously. So it is believed that his strategy will compel a counter-attack that may not be too long delayed. Either that or delay until the armies are again in the trenches, when he figures the spirit of aggression will have Waned sufficiently to enable him to employ his favOrite tactics of talk ing peace while preparing for attack.
 Senator Lodges recent speech wherein he laid down his view of the only terms under which peace was thinkable-all of them being the terms to which only soundly thrashed Germany would agree-was intended to blight any movement to- ward compromise. Now Washington is wondering if the Administration had any inkling of his intentions or If it was merely intended to forestau a possible Administration declaration of the same sort in order that the Republican side of the country might get the credit of announcing the prin- ciple on which the whole country is determined.
 Lodge, though on the wrong side of the house, knows pretty much every thing that is going on. When he said, after stating what sort of peace we would insist on: The victory bring ing such a peace must be won inside not outside the German frontier. It must be won finally and thoroughly in German territory, and can be won mo- where else'-he is not thought to have been voicing generalities, but to have knowledge of our military inten- tions.
 So far only fraction of the Amer ican strength has been manifested on the French front. Everywhere the idea is expressed that something big is impending. Our troops have demon- strated their ability and willingness to attack successfully. It is not to be supposed that they will be willing to

sit down to the dull and dogged mon otOny of trench warfare to which our Allies have repeatedly been driven.
 We know that the Allies could win the war by attritiOn. With 300,0QQ fresh American soldiers landing every month to fill up the gaps in the Allied ranks we could lose man for man with the Germans until the Allied su periority in soldiers would OverWhelm the enemy. But this is not the sort of warfare our fellows contemplate. They have no mind to let the struggle go on and on.
 Hence the rumors of any advance on Germany, possibly through LOT raine, possibly somewhere else, get general credit. We are less than twenty miles from the Rhine now and the southern sector has been quiet over long.
 The German peace offensive may he expected to start with the manifesto tion of the Allied intention to break and transfer the seat of war to German soil--to give them a taste of ruined villages and conquered cities. and a countryside turned into such a ghastly wilderness as Northern France is now.
 The German papers are already talking of the desperate resistance that will meet any attempt to invade the Vaterland. We may expect to hear that no French structure will escaD total destructon if the Germans are driven back, that frightfulness will be piled on frightfulness: that as long as a German remains alive no foe will reach the Rhine, that prisoners will he sacrificed and that slaughter will be the portion of all Germany can reach. A Against this programme vii be set the best peace Germany can hope to eN- tort.
 Senator Lodges peace terms are the answer to this He is clever enough to realize that if Germany makes such a declaration America can make only one reply, and he is a keen enough politician to realize the advantage n making this reply first.
