said the Germans now have been de-

The American advance severed tho

from Paris to more than 100 miles away
and have reduced German occupation of

HUN ARMIES ON WEST
front CUT into TWO
D|SUNIlED GROUPS
No Longer Able To Maintain
Direct Communication
With Bases.
By j. w. t. Mason


/ y
! New York, Nov. o. The German
armies along the west front have been
cut into two disunited groups, through
the success Of the allies reaching the
environs Of the Ardennes massif.
For all practical purposes the Ger.
mans in Belgium are no longcr able
| to maintain direct communication with
! the Germans in France for Interchange
of supplies and manpower The hills
and forests of the Ardennes interpcse
impossible obstacles against the free
movement of transport columns and
marching troops. Nearly the whole of
the German front in France has now
been pushed south of the Ardennes
while that part of Belgium still in the
enemy $ poss ssion is north of the ar
dennes.
To maintain contact for military op.
eraiions on large scale between his
disunited armies, Won lIindehburg
must send troops from one group to
the other by long rearward detour
via German territory. This situatiod is
an impossible ono for long continuance.
Depleted of fresh troops as they are,
the Germans would have 20 form two
separate reserve armies, one to act III
France and the other in Belgium, if
Won Hindenburg were to cling still
longer to both French and Belgian soil
lStrategically, the difficulty of this
task is immensely increased by the fac,
that the Americans now have under
gun fire the principal lines Of eommu
nication feeding the German front in
France. Even brief prolongation of
the war would compel the Germans to
evacuate all of France. While still try
ing to hold central aud eastern Bel
gium, Won Hindenburg would have to
admit the allies into Germany before
the end Of the year, through Luxem-
burg and Lorraine.
Therefore, while the kaiser and his
militarists are considering Marshal
Foch' armistice terms, they know
that rejection of the demand fer un-
conditional surrender viii mean quick
