This is the review Of the battle
given out by Lieut.. Gen. G. T. c.
Bridges. head of the British mill
tary missions in Washington last
night.
Gen. Bridges. however. was en-
phatic in stating that he could make
no reliable appreciation of the sit
uation until news was received as
to the distribution of the German
reserve and as to whether identi-
fication had been obtained of any
divisions being withdrawn from
other sectors of the front to take
part in the drive. His statement
follows:
The Hun ObJectiyes.
The objectives now before the
':srmans appeal to be threefold:
Il. Paris.
-. The division of the main
allied armies by an advance through
Amiens and
"s. The capture of the channel
ports.
The present attack appears to
have come as surprise. One of
the reasons for this was no doubt
that it was not considered by the
allies as a decisive direction for a
major operation because Of the pos
sibility on this sector of giving an
account of ground that would be
fatal either at Amiens and Ypres.
The Germans have also concealed
their preparations extremely well,
aided probably by four factors:
Four Factors.
"3. That there are woods round
Laon in close proximity to their first

TABLE D'HOTES
PLANNED FOR
FOOD SAVING
Regular Meals in Hotels
Asked by Food Heads,
Reducing Beef.

Table d'hote meals are to be In
troduced in hotels throughout the
country as one means Of simpli-
Tying the food consumption to pro-
duce more for the allies.
This was announced at the Food
Administration yesterday.
Voluntary conservation, which
will eliminate steaks and roast
beef from the menus except two or
three times week and do away
with nearly one hundred other food
items, Is being extended TO the ho-
tells and restaurants. The admin
istration asks all the hotels and
restaurants to pare down on all the
foods needed for overseas ship
ment.
Message Sent Out.
John Nee. Bowan. in charge of
the administration's work with the
public eating places, has sent the
following telegram to his repre-
sentatives in every State.
In view Of the necessity of
steady progress to much simplified
hotel living and with growth of
ma ationsl demands for food conser-
vation. labor and thrift generally,
ir seems to me that the time has
arrived when the hotels and restau-
rants of the country can quite well
simplifying their entire cuisine by a
reduction in the numbers of items
on the menus.
IF the alternative dishes now
offered to customers on each menu
can be greatly reduced 1t will de-
crease the labor required in pre-
paration the stocks required in re-
serve and the waste arising there
from.
During the months of June. July
and August we are extremely
anxious to secure a reduction of
fresh beef consumption in order to
maintain the allies supply, and we
must secure this without substitu-
ton of pork or poultry. of which.
while we have enough for ordinary
course of consumption. we are not
in a position to provide for their
additional use as substitutes for
beef. We have supplies of by-pro-
ducts such as oX-tails, tongues,
livers. kidneys, sweetbreads, trips
and bains. because only the meat
cuts are being exported. The use
Of these could be employed. but
more especially the use OF sea food,
vegetables and fruit. 1t would seem
to me possible to eliminate on the
menus steaks and roast beef. ex-
cepting two or three times week
ly.
Might Reduce ProfiteerIng.
Food officials say a return to the
"reguar meals" would do away
with a great deal of profiteering in
food, particularly in the smaller
and lower-class restaurants, par
ticularly noticeable in Washington
during the war rush. which are
charging three and four times as
much for a cut of roast beef or a
steak as in the first class hotels Of
New York and other cities.

Were it humanity possible to extend

there would be no military reason Tor
such action. The German :ine now
must remain stationary until a
greater breadth in the wedGe is Sc
cured. The late reports OF attacks by
the enemy against the northern shoul-
der are logical results of the tactical
advantages already won by the Ger
mans.
However. the cheering news comes
that the French on the same front are
taking the offensive at several points
1t has been known for two days that
fresh French reserves were being
Ilaced along the southern side Of the
wedge. and that q srong force was
operating t5r the defense Of Rheims.
seadIng Allied Reserves
II was assumed that Gen. Foch was
sending In reserve units to the support
of the northern shoulder, although Il
was believed that such action would
not be taken at the cost of defenses on
the Picardy and Flanders fronts
II would appear. therefore. that the
French are well supplied with re-
serves, and II is possible that should
these reserves find a weak spot in the
line to the south of Scissors, the whole
engagement may suddenly take on a
very different aspect. Gen. Foch has
proved himself in this war a master of
cnTnter offensive.
The conduct Of the battle line as
now drawn. however. must not lead
one TO distract attention from the sit
Uation TO the north. The German Cen
eral Stan undoubtedly have careful
ly laid plans for the renewal of the
drive toward Amiens. II she has the
munitions, 1t is possible that such an
attack may be launched within the
next three days. or as soon as her
leaders are convinced that they can
draw no more reserves to the lines

The question of munitions is becom-
ing great one for the Germans. 1t
now appears that her great store of
mineIthrowers has been supported by
guns hurting giant gas shells far to

shells much high powered explosive is
necessary. For sometime the Germans
