Action Near Montdidier
Expected to Upset En-
emy's Plans for Attack
Willing to Wait
Now Along Marine
Constant Rain of Shells to
Bring Further Retreat
by Crown Prince
By Arthur S. Draper

>So''AASn' Ao1o' oy Inc Ir1Duno ASSOE16tion)
LONDON, July 23.-The war
news to-day is highly significant.
especially that part which covers
the four-mile French attack north
west of Montdidier. Here Foch
captured the villages of Mailly.
Sauvillers and Aubvillers, advanc-
ing his line approximately a mile.
Foch describes the action as a local
operation.
Further south, along the rim of
the great basin between scissors
and Rheims, Foch says there were
little more than artillery actions
and local advances. Both these re-
ports contain a world for specula-
ton. First, it is reasonable to
deduce that iFoch struck northwest
Of Montdidier because he antici-
pated enemy activity in this quar-
ter and was anxious to interrupt
his preparations.
The question is whether Luden-
dorf is planning another drive
toward Paris down the valley of
the Disc, which if successful would
outflank the Allied troops operating
west of SoissOns.
Foch Does Nothing Blindly
Certainly Foch does nothing
blindly, and he is not likely to ex-
pend his resources at this moment
without expecting a large return
on his investment
Now let us tdrn to the Marne
battlefield, fifty miles to the south.
Within this salient the Grown
Prince, by working furiously, con-
centrated a great number of guns
and men and Allied progress slack
ened noticeably. After five days
of unbroken advance, Foch is now
moving slowly or not at all. The
reason is that Foch refuses to
throw his men against the iron
ring when he can win as much
ground by waiting.
Within this salient the enemy is
finding his communications con-
stantly shelled. He can hold the
salient for the time being, but he
must eventually withdraw under
steady rain of Allied shells.
His other alternative is to widen
this salient, but apparently Foch is
fully confident that his pincers will
hold the Crown Prince securely.
The general situation is exceed
ingly encouraging, but Ludendorf
has a strong kick in Rupprecht's
army The Grown Prince may re-
tire to the Aisne, but Rupprecht
will try to offset the bad effect Of
the Marne defeat.
Held Up by Rain
Fifty-odd German divisions have
suffered a fierce drubbing, but it
has taken considerable Allied
force to do it. The German armies
are much weaker than a week ago,
but the Allied armies have also paid
the price. That is the only fair
way-certainly the Allies can af-
ford to face the facts-to look at
the immediate military future,
which is fraught with great posi-
bilities.
Continued heavy rains are a po-
tent factor in the military develop
ments and are likely to retard the
plans of both sides. The Americans
northeast of Chateau Thierry and
along the river to the east have
made notable progress in taking the
heights of Jaulgonne.
These divisions formed the right
flank of the Allied forces which met
