Huns Are Fighting Rear Guard
Battle Now on Enormous Scale

of which Won Hindenburg is ca
pable.
This action by Marshal Foch,
however, makes Won Hindenburg' 8
retreat far more perilous enter
prise than it would be otherwise.
Not only are extensive stores of
munitions and large numbers OF
prisoners falling into the allies
hands, but also the possibility is
always present that during the
German retirement Marshal Foch
may be able at some point to
break through the German lines.
The danger Of a break through is
now occupying the major attention
of the German general staff. 1t .ac-
counts largely for the slow, falter
ing steps to the rear and for the
logged, back o-the-wall fighting
now characteristic Of the German
retirement. Won lendenburg is GER
tainly losing more men by these
operations than the allies, but he
cannot help himself. The war has
seen many kinds of retirements.
None, however, has been like the
one now engaging Won linden
burg's attention.
BY means of it he is unquestion-
ably working out new tactics Of re-
treat to be brought in play when
the time comes to defend German
territory against the victorious
Americans.

WRITES GERMANS TELL

ton Of the report that the German

in letter from Wesley Thomas, a

supply truck company in France. He
writes: 81 have seen lots of Germanl

BY J. w. T. MASON.
United States War Expert.

New York, Aug. 25.--There in
dications that the Germans do not
now intend to halt their retreat
permanently along the Hindenburg
line, but are planning to move still
farther eastward for the purpose
of shortening their front and Sc
curing additional men for their
new reserve armies.
Marshal Foch's Continual ham.
mering is sadly interfering with
Won Hinde:-burg's prearranged re-
tirement. Won Hindenburg must
send back his slow moving, heavy
artillery before the infantry begins
to retreat, and yet by doing so he
robs his infantry of adequate ar
tillery protection against the allies
attacks. This is one of the reasons
for the extremely small losses
being suffered by the allies.
In reality Won Hindenburg is
fighting gigantic rear guard ac-
ton. His retirement is fore
gone conclusion, because there is
no other way for Germany to con-
centrate her man power behind the
Rhine for Americas Forthcoming
offensive. But, the paradox exists
that by attacking the Germans
through successive local drives,
Marshal Foch is actually retarding
the maximum speed of retirement,
