Three Elements That
Have Turned Tide

There are three elements which
decided this great return tide, and
there is one element only that can
rob civilization of it's due victory.
The three elements which in COM
hination achieved the turnover in the
military situation, the recovery Of
the initiative by the Allies and all
that is to follow, are:
The military aptitude Of the
French;
The mechanical genius of the
British; and
The peculiar character Of the new
American troops coupled with the
elasticity of the American organiza-
ton.
The element that we most fear is
rot military at all, but political. 1t
is the danger of disunion and the
dctestable propaganda which exists
both in France and Britain, too little
checked by the governments and APP
pealing to the fatigues and disap-
pointmcnts of four years Of war, to
popular ignorance and to every joint
of weakness in our national armors.
The effect upon the situation
along the Western front, of French
strategy, is obvious.
Tank Chief New
Tactical instrument
What is less clearly distinguished
Is the tactical effect Of two new
instruments of warfare-British
strate2ical invention and the Ameri-
ran ievles. From July Is onward
the great tactical instrument Of the
Allies, the instrument which has
given them the power of surprise
and penetration, the instrument
which has permitted US to eliminate
the old preliminary bombardment
which always gave warning of the
attack and at the same time ruined
the ground over which the attack
should take p.ace-~the instrument
in a word, which has changed the
war is the tank. And the tank is.

largely in its development, British.
And not only is the invention it.

r ONDON, Aug. 1.-THE oper
atoms on the battlefront in
the second offensive between
the Somme and the Disc have their
main interest for the moment or
the Lassigny group Of hills. What
the French are fighting for is COM
plete observation over the plain
across which the enemy Is bringing
up his supplies.
This observation they have not
yet obtained. They have it from
the western edge Of the ridge above
Beval, but have not yet got the iso-
lated hill between Beval and Tries
court, and everywhere east of the
middle of the range wooded and
high ground stands between them
and the plains.
Meanwhile, pending the other
movement of greater effect, we may
note new facts which have come
out with respect to the numerical
position. Of these the most impor-
tant is the presence of thirty-one
complete American divisions al
ready in the field. That means in
infantry alone something not far
snort of half a million men. Next
we now know the condition of ex-
haustion Of the enemy's reserves
There have been identified during
the second defensive thirty-one divi-
sions, of which thirteen were
brought either from the enemy's
reserves or from the south.
There is certain amount of
overlapping, as among the thirteen
apparently were two divisions which
previously had appeared between
scissors and Rheims. The total
number Of divisions drawn into the
two offensives combined is consid-
cred to be over one hundred-that
is, half the German army in the
west.
We must remember that the space
of time with which we are dealing
is only one month, and in that brief
period one-half of the enemy's
forces has been involved in two de-
feats-close on half million men
in infantry alone-some per cent
have been taken prisoners and
seventeen hundred guns have been
taken as we'll. 1t is only by appre-
ciating this that we can understand
how truly the tide has turned since
July 10.

bold projecting Hill of Chipilly. This
northern end of the line Of advance
beginning at Ville-en-Ancre and go
ing down to Sally on the Somme
Valley, was to prove the most diff
cult part of the ground. The British
troops operating here were faced by
the 9th German Division, which had
only a day or two before been in
local action on this ground and
which was expecting further fighting,
Beyond the Somme the land rises
to a plateau about eleven miles
VIDE, the countryside being known
as Santerre. The British line ran
across this in a southwesterly direc-
ton past Villers- Bretonneux to q
point where the plateau is cut by
the shallow valley of the little River
Luce, a tributary Of the Avre.
Beyond this valley, for another
three miles, the line was taken up to
a point opposite Moreuil by the left
Of the French First Army, under
General Debeny. Opposite the Brit
ISL line, which was held by the Fourth
British Army under General Rawlin-
son, was the 9th German Division.
between the Ancre and the Somme
and on the plateau of Santerre. in
order from north to south, were the
ADD, 18th, 41st, Tooth, 25th and 18th
divisions-the latter standing across
the Luce Valley, at the end of the
British line, and being in process of
relief, at the moment the action
opened, by the 117th German Di-
vision. Both these divisions thus
caught in the confusion suffered
heavily. The numbers of the Ger
man divisions on the front of the
French advance have not yet been
given.
1t will be noticed that the German
defensive organization here was quite
dense. There was more than half a
division to mile, and this very cir
'cumstance, which was intended to
strengthen what was known to be a
vital sector, was the thing which cost
the enemy heavy losses when he was
surprised by the British advance.
Attack Developed
Complete Surprise
The action opened with most
intense, but momentary, lombard
ment, lasting only three or four min
utes, and Immediately followed by an
advance all along the British line,
led by tanks and arnored cars. It
had the effect everywhere of a COM
plete surprise; and in the centre, upon
the bare, open Santerre plateau, the
attack went right through the Ger
man defensive system and made an
advance which, by afternoon, reached
framerville, nine miles away from
the starting point at Villers- Breton
neux. All this central movement
though Framervi]le was it's extreme
limit, pushed very far forward and
reached Caix and Beaucourt, seven
and six miles respectively from
the point of departure on the oriei-
nal line.
But while this Thursday was az
astonishingly successful, through the
effect of surprise and through the
tactical value of the tanks, on all the
central plateau, there was hold-up
on the two wings north and south.
On the north, between the Ancre and
the Somme, it was found impossible
to take Morlancourt, and the line
was hardly advanced in spite of
hard fighting all day. Further south
IN the upper Sommc Valley, the Chi
pllIy Hill was carried, but lost again.
On the right the French were held
up for three hours by the German
