Allies Will
Retain Offensive

We have the offensive. We shall. in
all human probability, retain it until
inc END OF the war. When our Ameri-
can army is ready all three of the Al
he'd armies will be able to deliver ST.
multareous thrusts on their own fronts
Before that day the German will inevi-
ta5ly retire at least behind the Meuse
and the Scheldt, possibly to his own
frontier, shortening and also improy-
ing ms position. Until that day comes
we shall continue to deal local blows
harvest local profits, but it will always
be possible by reference to the man to
calculate pretty accurately the possible
extent of any single success.
Just now Foch has in two operation,
taken advantage of wholly vicious DO
sltlcns into which the Germans had mt
themselves as prelimnaries to their
grand offensives, now adjourned with
out date. He has taken his profit from
German mistakes and from the acc
dental weakness of German nositinns
which were not intended to be defensive
positions at all. A much more serious
problem will be before us when the Ger
man is at last in his true defensive no.
sition.

No Sudden Sweep

Since the element of surprise mas re-

him IN new positions, until one Of two
things happens-either his man power
fails or the military spirit of his army
IS destroyed. In either case we shall
then return to the old-fashioned war
Of movement, but it will be after the VIC
tory has been achieved and an uninter
rupted march on Berlin is before US.
1t is worth while to think for mo-
ment Of the long months when Grant
and Lee stood facing each other in long
trenches about Petersburg, south Of
Appomattox. There one had a real
forecast Of the war to-day, and the dis
appointments Of 1864 are likely to re-
turn in 1918, and even in 1919. if ono

German Retreat to Hindenburg Line
Will Mean a Deliberate Refusal
of Battle, a Resignation of the
Offensive, in Order to Avoid
Defeat and Prolong War
By FRANK II. SlMONDS
Author of ''The World War;" "They Shall Not Pass"

The active phase of the Third Battle of
the Somme was over on Monday, August
70, when the British fourth army was
halted on approximately the line of the
old Somme front Of July /, 1916, the
front facing Chaulnes and Roye from
which Foch had launched Fayolles army
at the beginning of the first battle of
the Somme. Thirty thousand prison
ers and seven hundred and fifty cannon
captured, the Paris-Amiens- Boulogne
railway cleared, the Montdidier salient
pinched out-these were the immediate
fruits Of the first Allied offensive in the
campaign of 1918, which in itself demon
strated that the initiative had passed
from Ludendorff to the Allied command
er in chief.

the West front, there seemed to be the
possibility Of return to open warfare,
to the warfare of movement Of the older
days Evidently the Germans expected
it. Obviously the Allies feared it. And
yet within a period Of week the Ger
man wave was halted before new posi-
tions. The old war movement was over
and trench warfare was on again.
The reason was obvious. German pur-
suit had outrun heavy artillery and even
light artillery. 1t had outrun its provi-
sions, while the Allied commanders were
able to provide reserves and artillery in
new position, and against this position,
hastily improvised as it was, the Ger
man infantry, unsupported by artillery,
could not make progress.
Here, then, it would seem, was a final
answer to the theory that the war of
positions was a temporary stage. There
had been preparation and attack, and,
for the first time, pursuit, but at the
end there had been resumption Of the
earlier situation, new positions, new stag
nation, and the attempts of the Germans
to break down the new positions were SO
costly they had soon to be abandoned.
