NNE OF the most impressive stories
coming out OF France recently
was written by Edwin l.. James.
the brilliant young correspondent with
the American armies m France who is
writing for the New York Times Chi
cago Tribune Oklahoman syndicate.
The story of James appeared in The
Daily Oklahoman of Tuesday, stating
that the German training and disposi-
tion Of forces for the next blow is com
pleted and that the blow is only hours
distant. Either the force will be fclt
by Haig with the Somme route TO Ab-
beyvilIeIas its objective, or new area
will be attempted to the east of Reims
in the Champagne and the Argonne
with Chalons sur Marne the object
i've, according to James information.
Ny readers are so familiar with the
possibilities and reasons for the hope
OF masking the British in the narrow
corridor between the Somme and the
sea that ! deem il a waste of time to
go over this theater. The James yer
sion is somewhat new in the forecast
of the drive on Chalons Let us de
vote some attention to this newer sug
gestion
The map above will refresh your
memory OF the sector Consider the
tip Of the Marine wedge at A and the tip
of the St Mihiel sector at B as the ex-
tremities of the possible zone of opera
tions covered by this discussion. The
French always have considered the dry.
rolling area between the eastern Rheims
detenses and the Argonne forest one OF
their most vulnerable positions. Between
the heights of Moronvillers and the
MassigcS hills, a distance OF twenty
miles, there are no valuable strong
points.
Before the May blow. the line ran
northwest from Rheims to Scissors.
Look at the size of the Marne wedge
and for the purpose Of illustration. pick

the area between Rheims and Nerdun
The nose OF this hypothetical wedge in
cludes Chalons. Such a premise as
sumes that a success the size of the
Marnc is possible, which | am not con
ceding and which | think is utterly un-
likely Such possibility, however,
would make the threat to the resulting
inverted V angle apexing at Rheims so

to slant off a German drive on The
Argonne forest on the other side is A
splendid buttress on which to break and
divert a drive to a narrow wedge, du-
plicating our previous Marne illuStra-
tion. Assume the Germans attacked as
suggested and we're only half success
ful, driving in a wedge to Chalons but
having their flanks pinned down at the
outset. A series OF N-shapcd salients
would appear between A and B in which
the French at Scissors, Reims, Argonne
and Verdun would have the advantage
OF the situation in view OF the safe con
clusion that another month would be
consumed in the operation blooding
the enemy accordingly and adding an
other big figure TO the American re-
serve.
| believe it is rank folly to pick out
one sector and say the next blow is
coming here or here The German still
has the advantage OF interior communi-
cation and can pick his point One OF
the main considerations in the selection
OF the locale is the element Of surprise
II he believes the allies are unrcady
for the shock in the Cham, agne, he
will strike there largely in the hope OF
developing a break which he can ex.
plot His main chances lie elsewhere
There are more reasons why he should
GO at the line between Arras and Mont
didier than anywhere else, for he seeks
decision above all else, and the bottom
half of the hour glass already is more
than half full.-W. NJ. II.
