Foe Must HurI in All AvaiIabIes

Two Choices Now Left to Enemy al
Result of Foch's Splendid
Achievements.

Washington, Aug. l2.-Marshal Foch
through his new offensive In Picardy,
his pressure upon the enemy's lines In
Flanders and a continuation of the
stroke on the Aisne-Vesle front, has
issued, in the opinion of officers here,
a challenge to the German high COM
mand to fight 1t oHt to a decision or
withdraw. The epemy must accept
the challenge at once, it was believed.
Two Choices Before Enemy.
Reports available from the battle
areas today indicated that the strategy
of the Allied commander has placed
but the two choices before the enemy.
All available German reserves must
be sent In to stop the Allied advance
on the three sectors or there must be
withdrawal TO the lines held by the
Germans before last March 81, when
the first German offensive was started.
1t is yet too early to predict, it was
said, the decision OF the German high
command, although reports thus far
received show a disposition on the
part of the enemy to withdraw.
Await Word From March.
Back on the old lines the Germans
probably would attempt to stay the
Allied onrush until winter puts an end
to operations and enables the rehabili-
tation of their shattered divisions.
Illumination on the Allied plan and
the possibilities involved as a result
of the striking events of the past few
days was expected from General
March, chief of staff, I'm his confer
ence with newspaper representatives.

FLEEING IN DISORDER
Washington Critics Believe British
and French Success In Picardy
May Be Followed by De-
cisive Battle.

Washington, Aug IL. - New sue
cesses in Flanders and on the vesle
river, coupled with the startling ra-
pidity of the British and French ad-
vance in Picardy, creates an impress
sion among some officers here that
one of the decisive moments OF the
war, perhaps the beginning of the
final battle, may be almost at hand.
On the basis of such reports as
were available, the German high COM
mand seemed to stand face to face
with a vital decision. Either his re-
serves must be rushed In and
pitched battle risked or virtually all
he has gained at staggering cost in
nis greatest offensive of the war must
be abandoned and general with
drawal toward his old lines of last
March begun without delay.
While no American troops are
known to be involved i'm the Picardy
thrust, the capture of Fismette, the
suburb across the river from Fismes
On the Vesle, apparently is part OF
The great general scheme of attack.
German Retreat a Rout.
The French and British have gone
ahead with such rapidity in Picardy
that the German retreat must have
reached the proportions of rout in
places at least. The extent of enemy
losses in prisoners, guns and war ma
lerials bear out this view.
The whole bottom of the great
Picardy salient has been fiattened oct
in two days and the enemy position
at Montdidier and north of that place
20 the line of the Disc appears to have
been turned.
If he is forced to withdraw In haste
from this point, where one of his
strokes at Paris was directed, the last
menace to the French capital will
nave been removed. Officers here be-
lieved such a withdrawal must be
started without delay if the German
forces on the Montdidier-Oise front
are to be brought off without being
crushed
Enemy Shifting His Troops.
The sudden stroke of the Lys line

coupled with the Picardy drive, ap-
pears to make Ii clear that the enemy
Is rushing supports from the north to
block the holes in his line torn by
he British-French thrust. The Elan.

held and good results were obtained
in the sudden onslaught there.

Vicious Foe Thrusts Repulsed.
With the American Army in the
Vesle Front, Aug. 12.-Three vicious
but Intellectual thrusts were made by
the Germans against the line west OF
Rheims. The net result was a smart
repulse by the French, against whom
a most determined attack was made
and the inclusion of the northern sub
urb of Fismes in the American line in
addition to about hundred prisoners
Americans Rush over Bridge Ruins
The occupation of the northern sub
urb, separated from Fismes by the
Vesle, took place after a terrific artil
lery bombardment. The village was
virtually reduced when the order tC
advance was given. 1t was there the
hundred prisoners were taken.
The Americans rushed over the
river, leaping, running and crawling
across on the debris of heavy bridge
which had been blown up by the Ger
mans, its piers and other timbers sc
falling as to make the ruins available

forces which had been left there had
been unable to retreat to their own

The only general action was when
the French and Americans laid down
