Enemy Forces Again
Turn Attention To
Front on the North
CONTINUED from Page one.)

Washington, June 6-Demonstra-
tons in force against new portions of
the western front are looked for by
War department officials now that the
German third drive has been slowed
down to a struggle for improvement
of local positions west and south of
Scissors. 1t is regarded as entirely
possible that increased activity in
front of the American sector north
west of Toul may indicate an i'm
pending blow there.
The conclusion is based on the
opinion strongly held by some officers
that the drive was designed to draw
off reserves from the Amiens and
Flanders sectors. An attack on the
American sector in such strength as
to drive the line back, it is argued,
might hamper Gen. Foch in his en-
ployment of American units to sup
port his lines in Pfcardy, Flanders and
the Aisne region.
officers regard the fact that no new
blow has been struck at the Amiens
front as conclusive evidence that Gen.
F'och outguessed his opponents when
he determined to let the Aisne front
stand on its own strength, even at
the cost of much territory overEun by
the enemy until he could assemble
additional units from scattered points
along the line beyond Rheims. The
very success of the Germans in press
ing on to the banks of the Marine, it
was argued, meant that Foch was re-
solved not to weaken his lines to the
north.
Another Indication that the French
strategists have outguessed the Ger
man general staff is seen in the fact
that the original strength used by the
Crown Prince in the Aisne drive was
put at 25 divisions. He has since en-
ployed in this theater double that
number.
The critical battle, the final German
effort to break through to the chan
mel coast. will be fought, officers be-
lieve that if Foch finds himself able
to turn the tables on the enemy and
to begin what they are certain will be
a march to Berlin If complete victory
cannot be won short of that goal.
