monds-Thre Possible Solutions.

Foch will again content himself with
checking the German thrust and
permitting the Germans to hold most

ground.
Three Solutions Possible.
In sum. the third battle Of the
Aisne has now reached the point
where solution must come quickly.
Three solutions are possible: %
The Germans may now widen the
salient they have created and pro-
duce great dislocation of the allied
line. a disl0catien which may lead to

probably retire out Of the apex of
the salient now close to the Marne at
Chateau Thierry and Dormans.
(3) The allies may counter attack
on the eastern or western side of the
German salient and compel a general
retirement and possibly bring of a
considerable. local success.
But II the Germans fail to widen
their salient and are now compelled to
use up more divisions in averting a
threatened disaster we may conf
IDENTIFY look for q new German attack
OF major proportions at some other
point. Such an attack would exactly
follow the lines Of the attack in Flan-
ders in April after the March drive In
Picardy had been halted before
Amiens.
1t would be a mistake to attach too
great importance to any check in
Champagne now. We must expect
several weeks of desperate effort on
the part of tho German, and at best
one more great thrust, for we know
that he has not used more than half
ent gamble. On the other hand. un-
less there is some further collapse
in the allied lines. particularly on the
sides of the salient, 1t would seem as
If this thrust would come to an end
in a few hours, and 1t is the sides
and not the point of the wedge that

Rapid Advance Unexpected.
The senators were told that the
rapidity OF the German advance since

The territory taken during the last

Germans back of the former allied
front was reported to be admirable,
almost ideal. for defensive purposes.
and therefore the comparatively small
force OF allies was left in charge.
Success Due to Gas Shells.
Success Of the enemy was ascribed
by the war council largely to i'm

few new types of gas offensive have
been developed by the Germans, sena-
tors were told that they are employ

lines. instead of sending gas across

BELIEVE GERMANS WILL

Military Experts Expect Attack in
North Will Long Be
Delayed.

Here are the outstanding opinions
about today's military situation as
viewed by experts in Washington:
The Germans have reached the
Marne. as predicted and. expected. but
they are not likely to push farther.
Should Gen. Foch persist in retain
ing strong defensive forces back of
Amiens. Arras. Ypres and north to
the channel, 1t is extremely likely
that the major German blow to the
north will be delayed for a long time.
