Enemy Calls Foch's
Strategy brilliant
"Frankfurter Zeitung" Ad-
mits He Planned Cleverly
Against Superior Forces
Special Cable TO The Tribune

LONDON. Aug. 6.--The "Frankfurter
Zeitung' has a difficult time extracting
comfort from Foch's counter offensive
on the Marne. 1t admits Foch's STRAIT
esy was brilliant, and says he opposed
superior forces, but adds: NO essen
Jlal territory was lost The article
follows:
General Foch can say of himself
that he had a great aim, cleverly
thought out-a simple, clean plan. +
prepared it brilliantly and carried =
out we'll, but he will have to confess
that the Allies have once more under
estimated the power of German resist
ance and demanded the impossible
from their troops.
he strategy of the Western powers
never was more simple and, apart
from their massed attacks. never more
sensible than has been demonstrate d
in recent weeks IN spite OF their
great consumption of reserves they
have assembled new forces and hoard
cd them carefully. They were able to
release at least ffty-two divisions for
attack. The French staff did every
thing possible to train and have ready
strong striking force; il supported
the Americans TO the best of its ability
and modernized its tactics in several
features.
The enemy also was favored by
fortunate circumstances beyond what
he deserved. He knew our intention
to attack, while against us he affected
at least a tactical surprise. We were
on an exposed front in a marked salient
with a broad river to our rear. Our
foremost sector and our attacking
troops had their back to the enemy 5
front. In spite of these brilliant
chan/s for Allied triumph the on
slaugnt was repulsed without too great
losses, and although the number OF
prisoners seems TO be considerable. no
essential territory was lost. This is a
brilliant achievement by our troops
and their leaders.
"Foch's army undoubtedly had to
face very superior forces"
