losing rapidly the aspect of control
which if had for a time. The German
in other words is not choosing his own
time and guaging his own retirement.
General Foch is master and the men
behind Foch are regulating the Ger
man backward movement.
The American attitude toward the
battle situation may be summarized
as a desire to pave a good, thorough
cleanup before the winter, so that
when the massive spring drive starts,
it will be only a case of putting ON
the finishing touches. To this end
there is a constant agitation for con-
tinuing the struggle hard during the
cold months. If the German is given
no rest the 1919 vieory will be the
more easily achieved, it is argued.
Operations on the south end of the
battle line, where the Americans have
swept well beyond Juvigny, are tend.
ing to compel the Teuton to haul back
his forces from the Vesle to achieve
safety. This operation also gives the
Niles a stronger hold on Scissors.
Events are now shaping so that it
appears there is no doubt that General
March's predictions of 1919 victory viii
come true. However. one of the insid.
uous features of the international prob
lem just now is the manifest German
endeavor to start a big peace offensive.
German officialdOm, including the
kaiser, is talking peace. This offens'
i've is destined to become stronger this
winter. The government warns a
gainst it. Acceptance of it would be
to nullify all that the allies have fought
for and at a time when victory is a
mathematical certainty.
