FOCH HAS MET

Won H|NDEKBURG
FAILURE OF GERMANS TO TAKE
COMUIEGNE MEANS DEFEAT OF
WHOLE DRIVE TOWARD FRENCH
CAPITAL.

NEW YORK, June 17.-General Fech
has inflicted on Won Hindenburg the
most serious German defeat of the
year. The German general staff has
checked Won Hindenburg's Infatuated
sacrifice of German man power for
futile territorial gains, and the fourth
German offensive has come TO dead
stop, says ]. w. T. Mason, war expert
of the United Press war expert, com
menting on the operations on the front
about the Marine river.
From Montdidier to the forest OF
Villers Cotterets, where the offensive
has regard with the roads to Paris as
its objective, General Focn is as sc
cure as before the offensive has ragged
with the roads to Paris as its object
i've. General Foch Is as secure as be
for the offensive began. Tae small
area sold to the enemy for so heavy
a price in blood, does not improve Won
Hindenburg's position to any serious
extent. Nothing has passed into Ger
man possession that is not well worth
the death toll exacted in return.
Won Hindenburg stands baffled
north of Compiegne. No explanation
can conceal from the Germans at home
the fact that Compiegne was the prin
cipal objective of Won Herdenburg's
offensive and that Compiegne still re
mains in General Foch's hands. The
weakness of the latest German drive
cannot fail to doubly to impress the
German populace, at time when the
German government no longer is able
to conceal the fact that hundreds of
thousands of American soldiers are
already in France
II Won Hindenburg does not attempt
a fifth offensive, the central empires
will become seriously FESTIVE under
their military dictatorship But, every
rule of prudence and high strategy
calls for the conservation of the Ger
man reserves in the face of Americas
forthcoming major offensive.
Won Hindenburg has made the most
gigantic sacrifices in military history
during the past twelve weeks to win
the war and has failed By no posi-
bility can he continue this bloody
slaughter of his men mucn longer
If he orders still another sacrifice of
German power on the scale of Tie
preceding ones, he will have thrown
prudence to the winds in blind rage
Of despair.
General Foch is the master of the
situation as it stands today. General
Fochs strategy of saving the Ameri
cans for later offensive has been in
dieated. The Allies may well be Opt
