The allies below Bligny are in posi-
tion to turn the line OF the Ardre, which
parallels the Vesle from Fismes east,
five miles south of the Vesle. The Ardre
is good delaying line and it is to
save the Ardre and to enable the with

made here to prepare the Vesle for ar
established position.
In a dispatch from the British front
yesterday Phillip Gibbs said Haig was
still ready and waiting for Rupprccht's
strayed attack He threw out the hope
that Germany might fight on the de
fensiye in great rear guard actions, for
the rest Of the war.
Gibbs also said "in month or two
with the Americans still pouring into
France the initiative will be ours"
Then the initiative is not ours now.
This must be considered as a counter
stack.

had cver,issued a statement saying II

One opinion is Just as good as another.
Il is my opinion that Gibbs knows what
he is talking about ! do not think tho
permanent offensive is our policy vet.
We shorten our line by thirty miles
in pushing the Hun back to the Vesle.
We get troops to put elsewhere through
the shortening But the proposition
works both ways The enemys line
will be shortened Just as much as ours,

which is another indication of a threat
ened breach in defensive positions
which had not yet served their fullest

Between Fere en- Tardenois and
Reims the Germans did not begin a gen
eral retreat out of the recent gain to-
ward Epernay until Saturday. The ma
terial in the eastern half of the salient
apparently was not started out early
else the pocket within the pocket would
have come to disaster before the lines
began to yield Hence we may assume
that it is vital that the guns and metal
in this eastern half OF the zone of re-
treat be hauled TO safety through ar
orderly retreat protected by the stiffest
sort of rearguard resistance.
Immediate danger faced this eastern
half when the British, with Italiar
and French support cut their way il
