SUPREMELY CONFIDENT

more confident tonight than at any previ-

They have never doubted that it would
be stopped. Now, however. they are think
ing Of the probable extent of the counter
blow they feel certain is to fall sooner
or later.
There is no lack Of possibilities in the
northern sector of the battle area. The
British lines there have been much less
shaken than those to the south. When
the time arrives it is possible that a
thrust will come from that direction also
The prospect to some officers is for a
greater pincher movement aimed at cut
ting off advanced German divisions be-
fore they can be withdrawn to safety.
There has been some talk during the
last day or two of the allied strategic
reserves. These forces have not been en-
ployed as yet SO far as known, although
French and American units now being
brought up may be included in this gen.
eral reserve. Such forces are largely un-
