I is no longer Ludendortf Of
fensive. Foch has interviewed.
He has started an offensive of
his own. He is attempting to snatch
the initiative out of Ludendorff's s
hands. 1t looks now as if he had
succeeded in doing so. But wheth-
er he has completely succeeded or
not, his brilliant surprise attack on
the west side of the Aisne-Marne
salient-from scissors south to
Chateau Thierry--has put an en-
tirely new face on the grandiose
operation which Ludendorff launched
on Monday, and which he DOUBTLESS
expected to run true to the form of
the other German offensives of the
last four months.
More than this. Foch's attack
marks a revolutionary change of
policy. 1t is the turning point in AL
lied strategy for 1918. The Allied
armies in France no longer stand at
bay. They have turned on the en-
emy. The vigor and confidence with
which Foch interrupted his defence
and struck at the Germans on a new
field are evidence enough that he no
longer feels under the necessity of
outstanding his strength and of
yielding territory in preference to
involving his reserves too deeply in
what might develop into prema
ture finish fight.
He no longer hesitates to measure
his own strength unreservedly with
Ludendorff's. The American rein
forcement on which he has long been
counting has arrived. He drew on
1T to great extent in yesterdays
battle, and there is more of it in
sight to draw on. He is no longer
pinned down by considerations of
military prudence to a wary defen-
sive.
The great significance of the
Franco-American drive at the Ger
man right flank in the Aisne-Marne
region lies, therefore, in the fact
that it was new departure. 1t was
not a counter attack. 1t was a
counter offensive. The first four
German thrusts on a grand scale
were stopped in a different way.
They ran their course and were not
slowed down until Foch's reserves
flowed in and slowly closed the
breach made in the Allied line.
When ra1dendorff struck from St.
Quentin and smashed the front of
the British Fifth Army the enemy's
advance continued straight west for
about ten days. The line of that
advance was open to a flank attack
from the south. But Foch didn't
make an attack. He couldn't afford
to. He put enough reserves in 'front.'
ally to halt German progress beyond
Montdidier and before Amiens. He
contented himself with local counter
attacks.
In the Lys Valley the British
yielded ground until they stood
with their backs against the wall"
below Ypres and before Hazehrouck.
To stop Won Arnim, they, too, re-
sorted to local counter attacks on
both sides of the German salient. In
the Aisne-Marne drive, which
caught the Allies insufficiently pre-
pared, Foch's only aim was to yield
ground gradually until the situation
could be stabilized. Only in the
Compiegne drive was there any ap
proach to an offensive-d defensive.
There successful French counter at
tacks on the west side of the Matz
River salient quickly ended the
fourth German thrust.
In all these cases the Allies

French Troops Push

Valley, advanced guards reaching the

cordng to statement issued by the
New-York tribune., 1918-07-19

fought simply to recover lost posi-
tions. They remained on the defen-
sive. They did not attack the en-
emy on new line as means of
halting his operation on the line of
advance which he had chosen. But
that is what Foch did yesterday. He
let Rheims and Epernay take care
of themselves and fell on the Ger
mans on the inactive opposite front,
on which they had every reason to
expect, from past experience, that
he would remain quiescent.
Foch has the aggressive tempera-
ment. He has lauGed the offensive
as the most economical and su~est
method of reaching military results.
1T was certain that he would return
to. it at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. That he has returned to it is
the most cheering news that has
come from the Western front since
the beginning of the present German
effort to break the military power
of the French and the British.
In its first phase the Franco
American offensive between Chateau
Thierry and Scissors carrie ed every-
thing before it. The Germans were
caught unawares. A general ad-
vance was made on a thirty-mile
line to depth of from three to nine
miles. More territory was retaken
in one day than the Germans have
taken in four days north and south
of the Marine. Thousands of pris-
oners were captured. At the north
ern end of the line scissors was al
most reached and practical control
of this important base of the Allies
threatens the communications of the
Germans in the whole western half
OF the Aisne- -Marne salient.
The main objective of the drive
seems to be the highroad running
from scissors to Chateau Thierry.
This was reached and crossed
southeast of Scissors. Losing
this road, the Germans will be
crowded over toward the east
side of the salient and their COM
munications north will become con-
gested. Unless the FrancoAmerican
advance from the west is promptly
halted a hurried retirement from
the Marine Valley will become inevi-
table.
Foch has probably ended the Ger
man offensive against Epernay-in
fact, the whole German effort to
squeeze out the Allied reentrant
angle with Rheims at it's tip Luden-
dorff will have to secure his flank
and rear before he can go on with
his adventure in the Marne VALLEY
and below the Marne.
But there is another possibility A
continuation of yesterdays Allied
advance east of scissors would ex-
pose Ludendorff to as great a peril
as Won Kluck faced in the Marine
campaign of 1914, when Maunourv's
army came out of Paris and got on
his flank and in his rear. The
armies in the southern end of the
German salient would have to run
tor the Aisne, as the German right
wing did in September, 1914. Foch
remembers those days if Ludendorf
doesn't.
1T is too early to measure the ef-
fect of yesterdays inspiring victory.
Can the fruits of German demor-
allzatlon be gathered? To-day's and
to-morrow's developments will show.
But If another German retreat to
the Aisne follows, Foch's first Of
fenslve of 1918 will be remembered
as one of the turning points Of the
war.

Secretary Baker had difficulty in
holding himself to cool, unhurricd ex-
preston as he dictated to the news
papermen, late in the day, statement
summarizing General Pershing's brief
reports. Supplemented with the news
dispatches the official account revealed
however, the full story of the dash
against the enemy delivered with such
gallantry, and as such a complete sur
prise that it swept over the first Ger
man lines apparently without wavering
and rushed on to objectives deep in
the territory the Germans have held
for months.
During the dav Secretary Baker,
General March and War Department
officials generally spent much time
over the maps. Until late in the night
officials were eagerly receiving every
report that came in.

married General Pershing's reports as
received up to 3 o'clock this afternoon.

Spare parts of the gas tractor should
be kept Oh hand at all times. To keep
the engine running is the main thing
in the harvest field. Going to town
for repairs takes time which can be
avoided by having spare parts at hand.
Spare parts Of pieces which wear the
most should be carried with the tractor
in order 70 save time in replacing
parts. Cylinder oil for the gas engine
must be CT the best quality and high
est grade to get the best result from
the tractor. A cheap low grade Of
oil will csuse frequent stops and de
lays and will seriously interfere with
the efficiency Of the engine. Overhaul
the tractor at least once a week md
every three days If run continuously
day and night. To delay one day may
result in broken part which will
take lOnget to repair than the time re-
quircd for Overhauling the engine.
