GERMANS CAUGHT
Known TRAP LAID
FOR OUR RESERVES
by J. w. T. MASON,
United Press War Expert.

NEW YORK. July lS.-The Germans
have been caught in their own trap. Try -
ing to lure the allied reserves to q e
eastern aera Of the Aisne-Marne SALEM,
they have weakened the German fro II
along the western side OF the salient
and General Focl has seized the oIpr
tunity to deliver a counter stroke for
the better protection Of Paris.
Today's attack by the allies between
Fontenoy and Be'leaT may possibly
merge into a major Offensive IL the Ger
man front crumples up early in the en-
gagement. For the moment. however,
General Foch doubtless is bent on win-
ming limited detectives.
A major offensive by the allies, before
Americas armies are fully ready TO par
ticipate. has previously been shown not
to be part Of General Foch's plans. This
Limitation Of strategy, nevertheless,
would change IL the Germans were TO
commit any supendOus blunder N their
mad passion for slaughter.
General Foch's present attack has
a triple objective. II is FIRST an ef-
fort to push he Germans farther
away from The roads to Paris; sec
ondly, Il Will act as a diversion u
interfere with a continuation of the
German offensive between Rheims
and he Marine, and, thirdly. It will
seriously disarrange whatever plans
the enemy may have formed to change
the direction of his offensive from
the east 10 Paris.
