FOCH WILL LAUNCH
ANOTHER OFFENSIVE,
Military Officials at Washington Look for Immediate Ac-
ton by Alies-Several Simultaneous Attacks May
Be Made-No Word on Pershng's Plans.

1t is pointed out that should tho
Ger!nans be forced 10 withdraw from
the Chcmin -deS- Danes, swift ad-
vance from the Rheims front would
tend TO outtiank the whole enemy line
from that point to Ncrdun.
There is no information OF an official
character AS TO General Pcrshing's
present operations. The greatest reti-
cehce apparently is being enforced on
press correspondents in discussing the
army at this time and TO observers
here this suggests that preparations
tor Il new advance are well under way.
The logical objective. it is held. would
be occupa ton of the Bricy iron fields
and an effort TO encircie Metz from
the west If General Pershing is NOV
ing toward that goal now, il is said.

French army holding the Verdun front

front may be necessary before IL can

Tactics employed by General PERISH
ent, in the view of officers here. show
that the American commander has de-
termined that maximum speed is es-
sential to military success. He hurled
forward his troops last week at an un-
precedentcd pace and IL was this rush
which swept the German defenders off
their feet and gave them no oppor-
tunity for even an organized rear
guard action. 1t Is therefore argued
that General PerShing may be expected
TO press his victory without delay and
to rush the enemy in his new lines
&C organized across the captured ter
ritory.

realized for the first time that the
central powers cannot possible win the

the entente powers are not going to

which could only mean Il new war at
some moment convenient to the mill
tarists of central Europe. The free
nations of the world are determined
TO hold together until this sinister
menace has been finally removed"
The Times says: The note is the
stalest of diplomatic tricks. Austria
and Germany hope for its rejection in
order to persuade their dishcartened
peoples and armies that a conclusive
reason exists for continuing the con-
test This move will not deceive the

WASHINGTON, September l6.-An-
other blow against the German lines
as an answer to the peace proposal Of
the central powers is expected momen-
.arily by military officials here.
The point of the expected attack is
a matter Of wide speculation by oiii-
GERS. Several simultaneous attacks
Will be delivered, IL is thought, with
tho Flanders front, the French opera
and the new Americas front across the
mouth Of the old ST. Mihiel salient as
the logical positions from which Mar
shall Foch would strike.
1t has been significant to some Of
ficeis that the British have not pressed
very heavily on the front between
IpreS and Douai North OF Ipres.
there has been only one minor opera
ton 10y the Beleians since the allied
COMPREHENSIVE began. British atten-
ton has been concentrated to largo
extern; on clearing up to the Douai-
Cambrai-St. Quentin front and many
observers here believe the lines have
this sector now for n new movement
to the north. 1t has been noted. how
ever. that British artillery has been
pounding the German lines west OF
Cambria with special vigor recently.
which may be the prelude to a direct
drive for the capture of that city.
