FOCH PREPARES TO
MEET GERMANY'S
COUNTER ATTACKS
ModerateS His Drive Between
AiSne and Marne for Purpose
of Consolidating GainS-WiIl
Not Sacrifice Men
By ]. W. 7. MASON.

NEW YORK, July 22.-General Foch
is moderating his drive between the
Aisne and the Siarne for the apparent
purpose of consolidating his gains and
preparing for inevitable German counter
attacks.
Great caution is now necessary on the
part of the allied commanders, and Cen
eral Foch is splendidly demonstrating
that he cannot be run off his feet. 1t
would serve the German purpose ad-
mirably If General Foch were to extend
the battle along the Aisne-Marne salient
into a major offensive.
A forward allied movement on so gi-
gantic a scale before the Americans are
fully ready to participate would be TO
accept the Germans terms on which
such a battle should be fought.
General Foch is now declining to be
inveigled into playing Germany's game
under such conditions.
The Aisne-Marne thrust must be con-
sidered as a local offensive, which, how
ever, has already had major conse-
quences through safeguarding Paris and
driving the Germans north of the
Marine. General Foch must not be eX-
pected to press forward recklessly after
he had already secured such highly3 i'm

has demonstrated that he will not sac
rifice his own men on the barbarous
principle of the Hohenzollerns.
The enemy is unquestionably piling
his reserves into the northern and CEN
trail areas of the Aisne-Marne salient,
especially about scissors and Fere-en
Tardenois, which are the most impor-
tant pivots of the present German re-
sistance. In this respect, General Foch
has gravely interrupted the enemy's fu-
ture offensive plans. The moral effect
in Germany of a confused offensive
strategy at the kaiser's headquarters
will be very great, coming so closely
upon the dismissal of Foreign Minister
Won Kuehlmann for predicting. that
peace cannot be won on the battlefield.
Ludendorff, therefore, will aresort 20
desperate expedients in order to try TO
wrest the initiative from General Foch.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The navy
ordnance bureau was asked by Secre-
tary Daniels today to investigate the
apparent failure of bombs dropped by
a seaplane upon the U-boat raider at
Orleans, Mass, to explode.
Secretary Daniels said his report
showed seaplanes had attacked the
raider but there was nothing to in
dictate that bombs had made a hit. He
feared they had not exploded.
1t was admitted there had been some
instances here and abroad of failure of
the intricate bombs TO function prop

Daniels desires to know whether
there has been any tampering with the
mechanicism or whether there has been
carelessness in manufacturing.
Private concerns make the bombs, but
the finishing touches such as fusing is

The region Immediately south of Soils
sons forms the key to the German po-
sition and here the enemy has concen-
trated heavy forces for the purpose Of
holding back the advancing tide Of the
allies. The latter, however, continue
their progress, although the fighting is
becoming heavier each hour. They have
taken a large number of prisoners, the
number being more than has been an
nounced, and new patches of captives
are arriving. The number of unwound-
ed prisoners alone far exceeds the total
casualties of the allied troops since the
victorious advance began.
The correspondent has seen a large
column of these prisoners coming in,
and from their appearance, they were
certainly picked men.
The number of unchanged cannon
taken ythe allies is very large and is
constantly increasing, while at the same
time large quantities of ammunition
have been captured.
The advance of the armies command
ed by General Mangin and General
Degoutte on this flank averages ten
kilometers, while General Berthelot,
who is smashing at the other side of
the pocket containing the defeated Ger
mans, is also progressing appreciably.
The French, Americans and British are
working in closest cooperation and
with absolute confidence.
