the enemy forces in the salient, where
they come to hub.
Simultaneously, with the right wing
resting on the north bank of the Marine
for several miles and thence upward
! toward Rheims, he struck southwark
again in converging attack toward
Montmirall, which is roughly tfteer
miles southeast of Chateau Thierry
The thrust toward Montmirail, which
would make it appear that the power
ful forces on the German right bank
the Seine Valley, was not Hinden-
burg's intention at all.
Montmirail was merely a demonstra-
ton in an effort to make the Allied
chief believe that Paris was threat
ened and Immediately mass his re.
serves for the protection of the capital
Then, when the Allied reserves were
drawn away from other sectors and
"harmlessly" massed between the Ger
man right wing and Paris, it was Hin
denburg's intention to turn the backs
of his soldiers forming the right wing
on the Allied reserves and march prac-
tlcaly unopposed in an opposite direc.
ton eastward along the Marne tc
Epernay, joining hands in that pretty
little wine city with the left wing
which by that time was scheduled tc
have attained it's objectives.
Real Hindenburg Plan
Thus Hindenburg would have en-.
veioped the almost impregnable noun
tain OF Rheims, lying about ten miles
south of the martyred city. He would
have attained the entire course Of the
Marne River from Chateau Thierrv tc
Chalons and probably further east
ward. He would have held this line
which is easy to hold, while preparing
tor an enormous attack on Paris, USING
the mountain of Rheims as base and
the Marine as a flank.
rms weeks dispatches have already
told what happened. The left wing
whose attack was foreseen Monday
morning by General Gouraud's army in
the Champagne, was terribly slaugh-
tered and held in its tracks. In this
defence some American battalions par
ticlpated with the poilus with the high
est credit.
Crossed the Marne
Hindenburg's right wing had better
success. 1t crossed the Marne Mon.
day morning with pontoons on a ten
mile front between the villages of Eos
soy and Dormans, though with the
bloodlest losses from the Franco-Amer-
lean guns on the south bank and the
French and British bombing squadrons
above.
The advance was held everywhere by
the doughboys and poilus after slight
progress had been made. Near Fos.
, soy the Americans drove the Germans
back into the river. Southeast OF
Rheims the attack was more success
full: Heavy pressure caused the Fran
co-ltalian troops to fall back, but they
too, eventually held.
With the right wings attack thus
checked on its right and left on Mon
day, Hindenburg, on Tuesday, ordered
the capture Of Epernay in the stub
born "methodism" for which the Ger
mans are noted. The entire available
force on the right wing converged both
north and south of the Marne, where
the river dips eastward toward Eper
nay. Bloody fighting continued Wed
nesday on both banks, with the French
slowly pushed back by overwhelming
numbers.
Epernay was being approached or
New-York tribune., 1918-07-23

Thursday, with Hindenburg vainly hop
ing at least to take the city, when the
Franco-American counter drive began
on thirty ymiie front between the
Aisne and the Marne. The success of
this drive, which still continues, is
known over the world. The Franco
American forces at the first bound cut
deep into the entire line on which Hin
denburg had placed his "chaff" di-
visions. Hindenburg did not expect a
lightninglike blow, multiplying in three
days the grandiose strategy which he
had planned would impose on the AL
lied commander-i -in-chief the duty of
massing all available forces against a
fake" march on Paris, down the Seine
Valley.
The ponderous Hindenburg strategy,
which failed at the beginning, but the
method of which had been worked out,
and therefore should succeed, despite
undoing The Allied commander-in-
chief, who bided his time wearing down
a superior enemy in five months in
purely defensive fighting, struck
Thursday morning with complete sur
prise.
German Attacks Ceased.
AS the Allied line advanced the Ger
man attacks in the vicinity of Eper-
nay ceased. The German forces. es-
timated as eight divisions south of the
Marne, facing disaster if they re-
manned. performed second Piave. In
addition to fifty divisions used in the
disastrous offensive beginning six days
ago, the German High Command was
forced to throw possibly twenty more
into the breach between the Aisne and
the Marine to meet the Franco-Ameri-
can offensive.
Figuring on a basis of 21o German
divisions on the Western front at the
beginning of the offensive, whereof
probably seventy were used during the
last week, there remains about 14O di-
visions. Counting the divisions neces-
sary to hold the long battle line from
the sea to Switzerland at approximately
10, Hindenburg still has about thirty
fresh divisions to meet the Allied re-
serves.
Hindenburg, rapidly using his fresh
reserves, faces an unenviable duty,
thus bringing the war to the period
where the Allies, not Germany, are
making the offensives.

than half their electives, having
been under fire thirty-six hours as
they crossed, after four days heavy
fighting.
A further result of this conges-
tion is that there is great delay in
bringing up spare divisions of the
enemy to relieve the dangerous press
ure upon him along the road from
Chateau Thierry to scissors. The
Germans have over twenty reserve
divisions in this neighborhood, and
so far they have put in only five
extras, which proved insufficient to
stop the Franco-American advance.
1t must be clearly understood that
the enemy's retreat is in no way cut
off yet-he has a very wide avenue
through which to get back north.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Jul y
22.-'Next to the victorious advance of
the Franco American troops on the line
from the Aisne to the Marne, the Anglo
French bombing squadrons deserve i'm
mense credit for the Germans precipi-
tate retreat to the north bank of the
Marnc.
Constant bombing of the enemy's
rontoon bridges, both day and night
since last Monday morning prevented
tie transportation of single enemy
cannon across the river. forcing the
Germans to fight with the disadvantage
Of long-range gun fire from tho oppo-
site bank. The fire was inaccurate.
owing to lack of proper communi-
cation with the gunners miles away,
and caused serious losses among the
Germans with their own shells.
Disheartcns Invaders
This, added to the demoralizing effect
of being isolated on the south bank and
with constant bombing attacks on the
pontoons, their only communication for
food supplies, took all the fight out of
the Fcldgrauen before they were or
dered to escape.
The attack toward Epernay was not
only completely blocked in remark
ably brief time by the poilus, but they
we're able to retake the heights domi-
mating the river before the retreat.
With the the enemy locked in mar
row pocket. which he was unable to
enlarge, he would have been forced to
retreat eventually, even without the
danger from the Aisne- Marne advance.
The escape made early Saturday was
harassed continually by French gunfire
from the vicinity of Reuilly, where the
steep hilsides afforded some protection
from the shells.
The Germans losses we're heaviest
before they reached the river. The few
ness of the prisoners taken was due
to the rear guards, who fought furious
ly to effect the main body's escape.
Most of these fought until slain by the
advancing poilus.
The Franco American advance be-
tween the Aisne and the Marne is now
menacing the entire German forces in
the great salient. The Sossons- Chateau
Thierry road has now been cut by the
Franco Americans and the long range
guns are able to play their destructive

Especial Cable to The Tribune)
Copyright. 1918. The Tnbune Associ alton,

LONDON, July 22.-The enemy
delayed his retreat over the Marne
too long by at least one day. This
may have been due to a reluctance
to retire. News that his railway
connections had been cut must have
reached him Thursday noon, but he
didn't retire until 9 o'clock Friday
night.
The result was a very heavy con-
gestion of the roads leading north,
particularly at the road junction at
Fere-en-Tardenois, and very heavy
losses in his retirement across the
river. Here the weight of his di-
visions, numbering altogether nearly
100000 men, lost somewhat less

The British troops that Jock be-
longed to went into action on the
line southwest of Rheims yesterday,
encountering a fresh Bavarian divis-
ion, who, like themselves, had come
up from totally different sector.
In all my talks with soldiers Of
any of the four nationalities in the
present battle there had been praise
for the other fellow. A New York
private, with bullet through his
shoulder, who was advancing to a
French liaison when hit, said:
"These Frenchmen sure know this
war game" An hour later 1 met
poilu who said: "The Americans are
marvellous"
1t has been the same everywhere
when one nationality has been
drawn into conversation about their
neighbors.
The fact that the Crown Prince
was forced to borrow divisions from
Grown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria,
opposite the British front, is con-
firmation that the Kaiser's son suf-
fered terrible losses during the last
week. Like a gambler in a run of
hard luck, he is now forced to bor-
row funds from the fellow gambler
on his right in an effort to save him
self from going completely broke.
The Imperial Crown Prince, there
fore, is facing the danger of a rout
and the situation depends on how
much his Bavarian cousin will loan.
If the luck of the Imperial Prince
returns he may be able to stop the
run of bad luck on the natural posi-
tions stated above.
This day dawned with an entirely
new face on the war. Exactly week
ago the powerful Teutonic army was
starting as great and daring an Of
fensive as any single army in the
history of the world ever attempted.
The German High Command in a
five-day struggle eliminating Fri
day in a disastrous retreat across
the River Marine, now followed by a.
further withdrawal, may now be said
utterly to have failed in the one last
chance to do what Germany set out
to do, dominate the world by force
of arms.
Tens of thousands, the flower Of
the German army, lie dead to-day
over the ninety-mile front stretching
roughly southwark from the Aisne
to the Marine, and following the
course of that world famed stream
to the vicinity of the village of
Troissy, then northeastward again
almost to the wooded hills of the
Argonne.
Tens of thousands more lie wound
ed in German hospitals, thousands
more are prisoners, and the German
High Command with the remainder
are facing almost certainly period
of hardship which never was con-
templated.
The proud German arms suffered
the eliminating blow when forced. to
accept at the Marine the same hu-
initiating defeat her weaker ally,
Austria, experienced at the hands of
the Italians at the Piave a short
time before. More humiliating still
is the fact that the weather aided
the Allied forces but little at the
Marne. 1t was the combination Of
pure valor of the Allied soldiers fol-
lowing the masterful strategy of
