The tables are now turned and we
are compelling the enemy to go
through precisely the same perilous,
weakening manoeuvre.
Having appreciated that this rapid
to the present situation, let us turn
our attention to the lines upon which
the enemy may stand.
First, it must be promised that no
known line exists, nothing cores
ponding to the elaborate Hindenburg
system which was thoroughly recon-
noitred from the air and photographed
in detail before the enemy fell back
Upon whatever line the enemy elects
to stand it cannot be a line of such
strength as the old works, and, what
is more, hardly line of entirely his
own choice. The war has become a
war of movement. He never knows
where the next heavy blow will fall.
Every time a blow has fallen, from
September rs onward, when Gouraud
and the Americans struck the other
side Of Argonne, teh enemy has
been compelled to make a new dispo-
sitiOn of men, not from choice, but
under compulsion
We saw this clearly the other day
when the British second army, sup
ported on the left by French and Bel
gian troops, advanced so rapidly into
Flanders. The complete breach of the
temporary German defences was or
ganized between Lys near Menin and
the sea at Westende and led within
three days to the evacuation of the
whole Lille salient Until that mo-
ment it was obvious that the most
necessary line upon which the Ger
mans. certainly depended for retire
ment had for bastions at either end
the extremely strong position of Lille
and the still stronger position of Metz.
Lille was not abandoned as part of the
plant was abandoned under necessi-
ty, and the loss necessarily involved
further retirements to the north
across the Belgian plain.
How true this is those best know
who have seen what l cannot repro.
duce here-the scheme of defense or
gan1zed by the enemy around Lille. It
mas been thoroughly reconnoitred and
photographed from the air for many
months past, and 1t was by far the
strongest OF the recent field works or
by the enemy-stronger even

than $50 miles and with all eonvolu
tions, much more than ESQ. Neverthe
less, the enemy won't adopt that short
est line, and this for many reasons
In the first place. he couldn't fall
back. to it with sufficient rapidity. Re
tirement from the neighborhood OF
Lille to Liege would be about 100
miles, even in a straight line. The
number of men and the amount of
material to be moved quite prohibit
the rapid change in the face Of the
tremendous pressure the German line
is suffering. Again, to adopt such a
short line would put essential pro-
ductiye centres like Westphalia, a
great coal field and steel works, and
the vital Rhine bridges at Cologne and
Coblentz under such severe bombing
from the air at short range that it
would probably dislocate and certain
ly weaken terribly the remaining en-
envy defenses.
Again, there is no lateral line of
communication in the sector across
the eastern part of Ardennes, which
would be a permanent peril To be
more accurate, it couldn't hold. A
much more probable line, though it
saves but little actual mileage-less
than a fifth--would be the line of the
Scheldt, a formidable line as far as
Termonde; then a line to Bender,
covering Brussels; thence across the
plain around Namur and so down the
Meuse to Charleroi striking the Meuse
somewhere above Namur. Such line
would be a very great advantage
against the present offensive tactics
of the Allies 1t would be water
line along much more than half its
length, and it is this line which most
students of the present situation re-
gard as the probable rallying line OF
his retirement 1t is not more than a
suggestion, but II the readers look at
any large map of Belgium they can
see it's advantages. The gorge of the
Mouse above Namur is easily capable
of defense with reduced forces, though
for supplies there are very bad COM
munications behind it, and the upper

lack of communications behind 1T.
continues to be an excellent water
line to a point where the enemy now
stands.
Two things must be said in con-
clusion while speaking of these lines:

get back to the prepared line with
plenty OF water defence, ground may
come again into importance for a pc
riod longer that we expect, as we shall
see In a moments study of such pos
sible lines which are Of value. But
still the dominating element now is
numbers. Certain figures with which
readers are already familiar will bear
repetition, for they are the soul of the
business. The enemy has not many
infantry divisions on the western
front. He has lost in the last three
months at rate something not far
short OF quarter Of million a month
at any rate. 100000, for he has lost
prisoners alone at a rate Of more than
100000 a month.
Again. OF his available artillery in
the west a third has disappeared in
three months; in other words, he is
losing guns by capture and use at
rate well over 100 per cent. a year.
His factories. even under conditions
of the fullest efficiency, which they
reached and passed (for they are now
declining) about year ago, cannot
replace one-half that rate of wastage.
II you are losing more than 10 per
cent. OF guns every month you cannot
make good. There is in this connec-
lion another curious phenomenon.

Two things we must do in the pres.
ent phase Of the campaign in order to
understand It,
First--Grasp the fact that the dis.
position of troops is counting less
and less as time goes on and enemy
wastage is counting more and more.
Second-Grasp the nature of the
lines upon which the enemy's reduced
forces may attempt to stand.
The importance of the first princi-
pie, in lieu Of the fact that the enc
my's present defeat has ben continu-
Gus and progressive. is the thing to be
watched and calculated. not so much
in ground as in numbers. II he can

me it's causes. That phenomenon is
for the moment at least, the dearth in
the enemy's supply OF course, vast
captures of munitions during the re-
duction of the great salients in the
summer and the less important cap
lures during the subsequent advances
hardly account for the singular fact
that the enemy delivery of shells is
apparently declining. In the earlier
part of the war similar PHENOMENON
was observable, especially on the
eastern front, from time to time. This
was due to two facts thoroughly rec
ognized by the Entente: That the
Allies in the east were so badly NUM-
toned that the enemy could afford
occasional lulls on his side, and such
lulls were only allowed In order to &C
cumulate further stores of shells.
Therefore, there was an intensive de-
livery at the end of each period of
repose. Even when smaller lulls oc-
Cured on the western front there was
a second pause of SUFFICIENT time to
account for them. In other words,
the production of shells within the
Central Empires was amply suff1cient.
But today no such explanation is avail
able. Today the enemy is under the
acute necessity of developing all coun-
ter battery work he can.
Now, a very considerable superiori-
ty of material is against him, and 1t
is essential to meet his superiority as
best he can. He fails to meet It sufi1-
GENTLY, and he fails to meet it because
for some reason factories are not CIV
ing the output which they were few
months ago. The thing may be due to
the combing out Of men to the necessi-
ties of the line, or it may be due to
labor troubles or the physical condi-
