.OOUGHB0YS STILL ON
. JOB, OVER THE TOY OR
BACKING UP STRATEGY
Lack of Mention Does Not
Mean Lessened Value
to Foch.

N%ONDON, Aug. 2S.-Do not imag-
Inc Shat because the doughOoys are
not Mentioned in the recent action
that THY are not on the job.
Although they are elsewhere thev
are now eontrlbuting to the allies
success even T1Smore effectively though
less spectacuPTly than when they
were actually .g0ing over the top at
Chateau-Thiery, A0issons and Fismes.
For it is primarily due to increases
in the American froSt lines south of
the present battles thaX General Foch
was enabled to acquire Ahe necessary
mibility and elasticity q forces for
quick and surprising punches.
Bewildering attacks ha4s gained
important strategic positions and
have also frazzled the enemys nerves.
The battle must, more than Never,
be considered on the whole flpnt
from Ypres to Rheims. "
Experts are unanimous in believs
ing that Foch could not have achieved
the initiative without big American
help, nor maintained the adv antage
without steady progress in the in
crease of such help.
There is every assurance, thanks
to America, no matter how dssper-
ately the Germans may resist, that
the days of deadlock are passed for
ever. The allies, through complete
command of the situation. are able
to impose their will on the enemy
when and where they wish.
But this does not mean the end ia
IN sight. German doggedness, ten
acity and recuperative powers must
always be considered.
