Critics Up in the Air,
but Praise the strategic
Retreat"

LONDON. Aug. s.-The general
feeling here is that the impor-
tance OF the successful new bat
tie cannot be overestimated. 1t Is re-
garded as the turning point OF the
years campaign. and perhaps even
the turning point OF the whole war.
It was only a month ago that an
the talk OF the British military critics
was whether the Allies could hold on
in the face of the great German ofren-
sive which the German people had
been told was 10 finish the war. The
Initiative has now been taken from
the enemy. and within the month
the Allies have engaged in two i'm
portant battles with conspicuous sue
cess.
1t is not too much TO say that the
American army has been the chief
factor in this result. The experienced
military critic OF the Westminster
Gazette says only what all soldiers
who have seen American mettle put
to the test are saying. that the Amer
lean troops are equal TO any in the
world.

ConnictinE Views in German Press
About the Fighters.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 9.--Reviews by
German critics on the military situa-
ton in the west disclose curious di-
vergencies in opinion as to who bore
the brunt OF the attack on the Allied
side. The Cologne Gazette's writer
declares the white Frenchmen did all
the fighting. while the Frankfort Ga
zette states that, on the contrary,
the white Frenchmen were spared
for political reasons" and that on
the Americans fell the full weight OF
the fighting. The Berlin Lokal-An-
zeiger asserts that the Italians were
the ones who "bled," while others
declare that the Senegalese and the
Moroccans took the main part in the
lighting.
Few Of the writers venture to pre-
dict what will happen next. The
consensus OF opinion seemed to be
that II was doubtful whether Marshal
Foch would feel strong enough to risk
a frontal attack on the new German
main line, Strengthened out as IT has
been.
Amid the chorus OF praise for tho
brilliantly executed stragetic rear
ward movement" the Cologne Gazette
cautiously expresses the opinion that
II Is too early yet to say which side
wins on the balance.
History offers no precedent" says
Gen. Won Ardenne in the Dusseldorf
Nachrichten, "for the fact that the
victor. after three victorious battles,
retires from the field embarrassed by
A. a. At. a..
| in the rear. This is difficult to under
stand" he adds and he proceeds to
explain how by a marvellous exhibition
OF self-control the Germans refrained
| from pushing their attacks home when
TO do so would have cost too much
precious German blood" He admits
that "the manoeuvre of carrying the
enemy's first lines with a rush and fol-
lowing II up by q deep thrust into the
ground behind. which had succeeded
four times. failed on July 15."

ing that the real test OF success in tn
