ALL OF ST. QUENTIN and IA FERE NEAR
All Wondering
What is Next
MOUe of FOch

Paris, Sept. l0.-The allies now
are almost back to the lines they
occupied before the German often
sive after six weeks Of unbroken
victory and the war has entered
period, not OF calm, but of precau-
ton, with a promise OF just as won
derful things to follow. The dry
and on the whole fine weather
which helped Marshal Foch to turn
the tables on the Germans so fast
has ended and a wet stormy spell
has set in.
The fighting Yesterday centered
south of Cambria, south of ST. Qucn-
tin and to the heights north OF Sois-
sons, three vital spots for the Ger
mans. who resisted sperately but
unsuccessfully the allies forward
thrust. The German heavy artil-
iery is becoming active from Arras
to Reims, indicating that General
LudendOrff fears no further remOy-
al will be forced upon him
Military critics here are attempt
ing to guess what Marshal FOch
Will do next. Critics credited with
having inside information are dis
playing much ingenuity and vari-
ETY. in their descriptions Of the com
ing moves on the different parts Of
the front, but the belief is fixed and
confident throughout France that
there is little danger of General
Ludendorff being allowed to but
tress himself against the allied
line, The Germans are a little out
of breath by the pace Marshal Foch
set for them, but they are unlikely
to get a respite during the coming
autumn and winter. 1t is assured
that Marshal Foch will not let them
go to earth as was done after the
first battle OF the Marine.
