Germany artillery has opened up on the
American lines and roads more vigor-

enemy. The longer he clings TO the
Vesle the more time will be given to
General Foch to drive his flanks north

The German high command can over
come this strategy only by WITHDRAWING
from the Vesle or by throwing an I'M

If he thus uses up his reserves for de-
fensive fighting the enemy will be play
ing General Foch's game. Every Ger

which the Kaiser must defend German
territory against Americas Forthcoming
offensive.
The possible danger to the Germans
in the present trap Is greater than
existed at the Marne. If General Foch
can move his TANKS northwards Tor a
sufficient distance before the crown
Prince starts to retreat from the Nesle,
the Allies will begin to close in behind

The entire German retreat has been
marked by vigorous shelling just prior
to an extended artillery silence. After
a great outburst of shellfre the boche
artillery remained quiet for two days,
and the American guns necessarily were
