FOCH HALTS OFFENSIVE

Generalissimo Foch has halted his
offensive on the Aisne- Marine front
temporarily to organize new positions
and bring up heavy artillery necessary
in opening the way for fresh infantry
assaults. Meanwhile, rear guard en-
gagements continue.
The French are renewing their pres
sure on the Picardy front. Some Eu-
ropean experts believe the extension
OF the Allied attacks portend a great
general offensive before the summer
is over and that it will extend all
along the Western front from the
North Sea to the Alps.
1t is also believed that Allied oc-
cupation of Albert will result from the
German retreat on large scale to
shorten their lines and secure badly
needed divisions of man power.
