General Foch
Is Threatening
Counter Attack

NEW YORK, April 9.--GeneraI
Foch is threatening to develop coun-
ter stroke against Won Hindenburg's
southern flank in the area where the
newly extended German front joins
the southwestern corner Of the old
Hindenburg line.
This is the reason why the Germans
have begun their sudden activity
along the Disc. There is no certain
ty for Won Hindenburg that General
Foch will start major attack in that
region but the threat has unques-
tionably been made, probably by a
new concentration of a considerable
force of allied troops. Won Hinden-
durg's present movements in the Disc
district are in reality defensive meas
ures to secure local positions of tacti
cal value and to feel out General
Foch's strength.
The situation facing Won Hinden-
burg in this area contains the same
threat to his own armies that he i'm.
posed upon the allies during his ad-
vance through Picardy. The main
strategic purpose of theGerman drive
was to separate the British and the
French armies at their point of con-
tact and to roll up the British right
wing by throwing the whole British
line into disorganized mass. This
plan failed. But in attempting Il.
von Hindenburg moved his southern
Hank so far to the west that It has
become what is for practical purpos-
IS, unit by itself.
Just as the British and French for
'es were distinct units during the bat
-e of Picardy, so now the. southern
ront of the Germans is distinct from
ne old southern front, which it Joins
lear the Disc. New supply routes
ave undoubtedly been organized and
he new lines of communication cam
.ot be the same. If, therefore, Cen
raj Foch can cut the German south
rn flank where the old and new lines
nite' he will have severed Won Hin
enburg's armies exactly as Won Hin
enburg hoped to isolate the British
rom the French.
The newly won German front
.ould thereupon be in the same peril
annihilation that Won Hindenburg
oped to impose upon Field Marshal
alg's line. This is the chief danger
ow threatening the Germans. The
ere possibility of such a catastro-
ne is sufficient TO exert profound
fiuenee upon Won Hindenburg's
ans. He cannot continue to slaugh-
r his manpower much longer for
fensive objectives. Any weakening
the German oise line for adven-
res further west may give to Gen.
oeh an opportunity to overwhelm

Americas s Power
Alarming Enemy
Germany at Last Awake to the
Fact That We Are Amass-
ing Armies.

| Washington, April 10.-Word that
American reinforcements are moving
to the support of the Allies in Picardy
has revived argument in Germany
over the efficacy of the sumbarine
and drawn from Capt. Persius, mill
tary critic of the Berliner Tageblatt,
the comment that after being per-
suaded to underestimate America.
German opinion is undergoing a
change.
An official dispatch from Switzer-
land to-day quotes Capt. Persius as
follows:
"We were at first good deal per-
suaded to underestimate the partici-
patton of America in the war. We
begin now to note change of opin-
ion 1t is beyond doubt that it would
be we'll to curb at the present time
these more or less fantastic vagaries
of persons discussing the submarine
war. We cannot for the moment es-
innate when the United States will
have ready the millions of men which
her population will permit her to,
raise, but it is certain that America
will in the very near future succeed
in amassing armies which in any case
will constitute a very valuable aid for
our enemies"

Whatever their verdict, the present
writer has essayed to feature his
characters as real entities. Fiction,

surmised that he is a graduate of the
Agricultural Extension Department of
Delaware College. In his possessions
are numerous acres of productive land,
the minor portion of them having
been inherited from deceased rela-
tives the major portion the result
of his persistent toll and economy.
By mere chance, our hero entered the

In Superior Court in Wilmington,

Jr., against Henry Cleaver, for com.
mission on the sale of some land in

verdict for HeldmVer, the plaintiff,
awarding S497. 25, the amount Of com
mission, and interest from last July.
irving Handy was counsel for the
4ntitf and Richard S. Rodney for
the defense. Mr.. Heldmyer, who is
a real estate agent at Middletown,
testified that Mr.. Cleaver two years
ago, employed him to sell a farm in
St. Georges hundred for SIG, 600,
agreeing to give him three per cent
commission He said he produced
Robert Morgan Of KennedyVille, Md.
as a satisfac tory purchaser and when
he took Mr.. Morgan to Mr. Cleaver
the latter agreed to sell the farm for
$15, 900. Evidence showed that
Morgan gave his check for $500 in
contamination of the sale but subse
quently stopped payment on it and
failed to fulfill the remaining terms
of the sale. Mr.. Cleaver said he sold
the wheat crop on the farm about the
last of July. Heldmyer brought suit
for $3.50, the 8 per cent. commission
agreed upon. The jury sustained his
contention although the defendant
contended the sale never was consum-
mated.
