LudendOrff Pulls a Paradox
cal Maneuver That Has Not
Occurred Previously During
the War

r. NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Ludendorh Is
now engaged in the extraordinary tao
tics Sof rushing reinforcements to the
Picardy front for the purpose of as
sisting his own retreat.
This paradoxical maneuver has not
occurred previously during the war and
is conclusive evidence of the perma-
nence of the German retirement in the
west. 1t has been forced on .Lrdendorff
by the fact that Marshal Foch continues
TO hold the initiative and is ready to
spring through any breach in the Ger
man line and inflict major catastrophe
upon the keiser's retreating armies.
Lud sndorft, therefore, cannot conduct
his retirement from he Picardy front
with any rapidity, nor can he make "
conform to a schedule prepared in ad-
vance He must seize whatever occa-
sions offer for a jump backward by one
unit at a time. While the retirement
is occurring in any sector the rest OF
the line must be strongly held, to pre-
vent a break through. For this reason,
he has been compelled to use his re-
serves to facilitate his own retreat.
The German west front is now too
unwieldly for Ludendorf to retain the
mastery of it's entire length during ar
extended retrograde movement. Mar
shall Foct mas seen to that by befabor-
ing blows on the Germans the instant
they turn their backs and start shutting
homeward.
General Byng's hammering in the gem

most serious obstacle interfering with
Hindenburg plans for an orderly retire
ment German reserves have had to be
thrown into the sector which Byng Is

the juncture of the two sections of the

line, running southeast. The Hinderburg
line has it's minimum strength at
Queant, for it there forms a pocket.
If the Queant salient falls to Byng the

MEASURE
REPORTED BY COMMITTEE
Senate Members Would Retain
Work or Fight Order,
Striking Amendment

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The senate
military committee today again declar-
eC it believed a work or fight amend
ment to the man-power bill necessary
to a successful prosecution of war,
when it reported the house bill with
this amendment attached
The house, Saturday, voted down the
amendment. Should it pass the senate
it is likely to prove the stumbling block
ir conference that may delay enactment
of the law.
The militry committee also cut out
the Treadway amendment, providing
that Provost Marshal General Crowder
appoint a special staff of examiners to
re-classify the men in the deferred
classes. Members Of the committee said
General Crowder already had power to
reclassify the lists.
Prohibitionists stepped aside and
gave the man-power bill right of way
when the senate convened today. Sen
ator Sheppard, in charge of the bill,
which is the unfinished business, OBJ
tanned unanimous consent that the mill
itary bill be given precedence.
After attempts to modify it had failed
the senate accepted without a record
vote the committee amendment proVld-
ing that the wife of a soldier or sailor
shall not be disqualified for any govern
ment position under the government Oe-
cause she is married.
Efforts of Senator Shields, of Tennes-
see. to substitute for the amendment one
in effect waving the civil service laws
IN so far as they would affect such
women, was rejected by vote of 40 TO
10. Under its provisions no examina-
ton under the act would be required or
the wives of soldiers or sailors seeking
employment with the government.
The Shields agendment was vigorous
" denounced by Senators Thomas, Cum
minis, Smith, Of Michigan, and Smoot,
the first named charging that it was
"unwise and unnecessary legislation of
the most pronounced character" Oppo-
ents of the proposal asserted it would
practically set aside the civil service
regulations and permit any woman VINO
was the wife of a man in the military
or naval service to obtain a government
position without regard to her qualif-
cations.
