Foch No.u Sending
In His Reserves,
Washington Belief
[Staf Correspondcnce]

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Official
and diplomatic Washington to-day were
cheered by the arrival of French re-
serves at the British front, and look
confidently to immediate arrest of the
German drive. 1t was not known here
whether the troops sent by General
Foch TO the aid of the British were a
part of the so-called army of man9uvre
projected by the Versailles war council
or troops from reserve depots, but
there was an inclination to be-
lieve that the fresh forces were drawn
from depots.
1t is believed, however, that the ar
rival of the French will not of itself
influence the enemy to give up his
attempt to break through and destroy
the British army.
Gwen should the utmost the Ger
mans set out to accomplish be realized
by them, however, neither England nor
the United States would quit fighting y
said high authority to-day. He stated
that the retirements made by the Brit
ish in every instance had been made
when there was no longer any useful
purpose to be served by holding the
contested positions longer, the men
thus being saved "to fight another
day."
lie stated that there had been oc-
casions when, if the British soldiers
had not stuck till the last man was
shot down, holding the Huns to the
very last minute, the British army
would have been rolled up.
