Mystery of I'och's Strategy

a 5 long as the allied armies go on killing
n Germans as they have been doing for
more than five weeks, without losing any
vital positions and without any break in
their own lines. the nations arrayed against
Germany can afford to be patient They can
afford to do what General Foch asked Pre-
mer Clcmcnccau TO do-to wait. That is
easier said than done. OF course but the
fact must be kept III mind that this is not
Il battle OF day or week or even OF
month. 1t is a battle of season, perhaps
OF year.
1t becomes more and more obvious that
General Foch is hiding his time. He is hold
ing his force in reserve until he has worn the
German strength down 10 point whore it
can be fairly met on even terms, if no more.
He knows better than any other man--out-
side the German general staff--thc extent of
the German losses during the past few weeks.
He probably knows better than any man in
any allied nation just what strength the
enemy has and what must he done to re-
duce il.
With these facts 20 guide him he does not
propose to risk a decisive engagement until
the day and the hour have arrived for the
supreme effort Meantime. he will sell the
ground which the Germans gain at high
a price possible
The time must eventually come when the
allied armies Will undertake a counter
movement. Every military authority on our
side assures us of thai, and every indication
points To the fact that General Foch is grid
ing himself for that stupendous blow. But it
is evident that we must wait. perhaps
must wait Tor mnny weeks before this de-
cisivo action is taken. FOch has shown con
cluSlvcly that he is not ready to strike, and
his doilDciation has increased the confidence
which military authorities everywhere have
l"it in his Judgment less far-sceing
leader might have acted prcCipitately He
might have Tn own his reserves into the
struggle long ago and taken his chances on
the result This commander in hicf refuses
TO be stampcdcd into a premature offensive.
~" knows that any action that is premature
might end III a disaster that could not be
overcome in years of fighting. Faith In him
should be increased not shaken by the
fact that he is holding back until he can hope
to win what Will BE- the most fatefu battle
