FOCH NEARLY READY
FOR TERRIFIC BLOW
Will Fall When Enemy Be-
gins Retreat From Hin
denburg Line.
By the Associated Prsn.

wAsHINGroN, Sept. Exchanges in
the battle situation in France are fore
Swallowed by the impending capture of
St. Quentin and the clearing OF st.
Gobain forest, Indicated by the unfalter-
ing progress OF tho British and French
armies to be only a matter OF Il few
days. Both allied and American mill.
tary officials here are confident that
new blows will fall Immediately upon
the Germans, denying them any rest or
chance to reorganize their battered
units. but the actual plans of Marshal
Foch, supreme commander. are as much
of a mystery here as they are in Berlin.
There Is nothing to indicate that the
American First Army has embarked
upon the far reaching campaign which
would be necessary to attempt the cap
ture of Metz. For the moment, the al
lied offensive effort is concentrated on
the 81. Quentin-La Fere-Laon front.
There is, therefore, a strong feeling here
that larger operations which the SUI
preme commander may contemplate in
the immediate future hinge on breaking
the enemy's resistance In this region and
forcing him to a new retirement.
The Germans are known to be fever
ishly active in the preparation OF
new line OF defence along a wide front
roughly parallellng the old Hindenburg
line and some eight or ten miles further
to the east. Again behind that front. &C.
cording to information here. they are
at work on two other defence positions
The extent OF these strong lines Is not
So fully known. 1t is quite evident
! however. that the enemy Is preparing
to fall back by stages fighting as he
goes. II he IL unable. as is now indi-
Gated, to hold his present front.
The capture OF st. Quentin and clear
ing of st. Gobain Forest. 1t is felt here.
almost certainly will send the enemy
main forces back TO the first Of his new
defensive positions 1t is when that
movement begins that the moment for
launching new offensive effort will
come, in the opinion of many Observes
here.
Many officers feel that thrust be-
tween the two French fortresses OF
Rheims and Verdun, which have stood
firmly against the enemy. is now to be
expected with the purpose OF thanking
the whole German front TO the north
and at the same time pave the way for
campaign against the great Metz-
Thonville stronghold,
There are enormous difficulties to be
faced in the breaking OF the German
grip on Lorraine by the reduction OF
Metz, It has been pointed out 1t is not
, possible 10 regard that city as single
fortress when might De encircled and

there was general satisfaction expressed
over the fact that the plan has been sue
cessful. This long range bombardment
OF Metz is in one sense paying the Ger
mans back for their long range bonn
bardment OF Paris. The effect on the
morale Of the defenders at Metz is re-
garded important. The bombardment is
looked upon by the Germans as par
ticularly ominous sign 1t is reported, be-
cause II is taken as a forerunner OF
later attacks to come.
