CRITICS SURPRISED.

Copenhagen, May 29.-Military CRIT
les in the Berlin press admit they
were surprised by the choice of the
Chemin des Danes for the new Ger
man offensive on the western front
and they declare it is obvious the en-
tente allied commanders likewise were
surprised.
The critics assert that exhausted
English divisions recently were as
signed to the Champagne positions OBJ
viously to permit them to have needed
rest and the commentators are jubi-
liant over the assumption that the re-
serves of General Foch are far away.
