mortality would be appalling if no help

Foch's First Counter.Stroke
Arouses Confidence in
London
EXPECT HAMMER BLOWS
By CHARLES H. CRASTY

London, July 20.
Everywhere in London people are
talking about Foch. There is no light
heartedness, because all know that one
successful counter-attack does not
mean a decision, and that the pendu.
lum will swing back and forth many
times before the hour of victory
strikes. But Foch's move marks the
raising of the Allied strength to a
new level At last we are free from
the restraints of inferior numbers and
unfavorable position.
Since assuming the leadership the
greatest offensive general. produced in
this war has been obliged by circum.
stances to maintain the defensive.
His strong arm is now loosed and
London is confident that the Germans
will feel It's power again and again.
With characteristically generous spirit,
the British share the French pride in
the Allied generalissimo. The British
have right to view the result with
satisfaction. for it was their sinking
of all narrow considerations for the
good of the common cause that made
unity of command possible.
1t is worth recalling now that Lloyd
George. ably seconded by General Bliss
and Lord Miner, brought about Foch s
| appointment in face of most formid
able opposition. Whatever may be
the Premier's weaknesses under fac
tional and political pressure at home
he showed splendid strength in his
insistence of putting the foreign gen
| eral in command of the British forces
Foch's success will make il a historic
act, and even now the British public
Is properly taking a share of the
credit.

don to restrain their emotions. The,

high pitch at seeing their fellow Yank

positions. AS our men get deeper int,

And, indeed, the same sentiment /

haps somewhat savage, 1t may be use
full for practical purposes in beating
the barbarians in the last stand.

ground to the northwest.
A glance around the battlefield such
as this shows that TIE language of the
communicates is fully justified, THE
battle continues bitterly" and that there
is an ebb and flow, with the turn of the
tide distinctly in our favor. For the
present it would be wiser not to claim
more, while we are perfectly justified in
hoping for much.
We are told that the Germans have
up TO the present employed twenty-three
divisions from their reserves, and If this
estimate Is correct they must have con
sderably more than that number still
at their disposal. They may be forced
to use a good number of these to get the
Grown Prince out of his difficulties, and

But it is quite evident that he is
doing so, and n is as certain as any
