President Wilson's note to Austria was
circulated by the Americans among the
Austrian troops within a few hours after

"He is a master psychologist. He under

They expressed the belief that 1t was

STRATEGY OF FOCH
NOW APPARENT IN
AVOIDING TRAP SET
Commander In Chief VIII Not
Undertake General Of
fensive At This Time
By j. w. T. Mason
( United Press war eXpert)

Omitted Press war expert)
New York, July 24.-General Foch
still continues his strategy of caution
instead of adopting Won Hindenburg S
strategy of slaughter The war will not
DE won in the Aisne Marne salient.
Therefore, General Fceh is determined
not to be lured into major operations
to crafty the eager expectations Of
spectators at home
The dominant. factor in the present
situation between the Aisne and the
Marne is that the Germans are eager
to inveigle the allies into engaging in
a great major offensive before Ameri-
ca s strength is fully ready, while Gen
eral Foch is determined not to make
this mis- AXE. 1t is, therefore, well with
in the limits of Won Hindenburg S
strategy for great numbers of German
reserves to be assembled south of the
Aisne. These reserves are capable Of
forcing General Foch to pay large
death toll for moderate gains.
Instead of accepting so crude chal
lenge, General Foch is holding back
patiently waiting for America s next
million to arrive before striking with
his matured power.
The present operations have immense
ly improved the Franco American lines
defending the roadways to Paris. To
persist in heavy sacrifices of life for
secondary advantages would be spec.
tacular, but would not be sound STRAIT
egy. If the losses are to come it is far
better that they should occur next au-
tuma or next spring, pushing the bat
tie front over the Lorraine border far
into Germany The Rhine, not the
Aisne, is the place to end the war. Fur
thermore, an American advance TOWARD
the Rhine would compel Won linden
burg to withdraw from the Aisne
Marne salient or elsewhere along the
west front 50 that by shortening his
lines he might find troops to defend
territory. General Foch is losing nc
tricks between the Aisne and the
Marne. War can't be played as fast
as baseball.
