There came shock that actually
swayed the hill they stoon on. The
mare on the path below missed her
footing and fell dozen feet, only to
get up again and scramble as II thou
hand devils were behind her. the Ran
gar riding her grimly. like a jockey III
a race. Three more shocks followed.
A great slice Of Khinjan suddenly
caved In with roar. and smoke and
dust burst upward through the tum-
bling crust.
There was a pause after that. as II
the waiting elements were gathering
strength. For ten minutes they watched
and scarcely breathed Rewa Gunga

stood by King with the reins over his
arm. The mare was too blown to do
anything but stand and tremble. And
King was too enthralled to do anything
but stare.
"That Is what woman can do for
a man." said Rewa Gunga grimly.
"She set fuse and exploded all the
dynamite. There were tons of 1t! The
galleries must have fallen in, one on

into Khinjan now. and the only way
out Is down Earth's Drink! She babe

would have stayed in there, hut she
commanded me. She said, Tell King
sahib my love was true. Tell him

While the Hangar spoke there came
three more earth tremors In swift sue
cession, and thunder ont Of Khinjan
as II the very "Hills" were coming to
an end. The mare grew frantic and
the Hangar summoned six men to hold
her.
Suddenly, right over the top of kim

ever perched, there burst column OF
water, Unreasonable. huge. that for
moment blotted out the sun. 1t rose
sheer upward, curved on itself. and fell
in million-ton deluge on to Khinjan
md into Khinjan valley, kissing and
roaring and laundering.
Earth's Drink had been blocked by
the explosion and had found new way
over the barrier before plunging down
again into the bowels Of the world.
The one sky-flung leap It made as It's
weight burst down mountain wall
was enough to blot out Khlnjan for
ever, and what had been dry, mile
wide moat was shallow lake with
deaths rack and rubbish floating on
the surface.
The earth rocked. King was up on
his feet in a second and faced about.
The Hangar laughed.

He laughed again and sprang on the
black mare, and before King could
speak or raise a hand to stop him he
was Off Mt wondrous speed along the
precipice In the direction Of the Khy-
Der pass and India. Two Of the men
who had come out Of Khinjan mounted
and spurred after him.
King collected his men and the wom-

were numb from what they had wit
messed and dazed by fear. In half an
hour he had them mustered and

any contingency. These the Germans
could not get should tho allies press
their line much farther and close the
neck Of the salient. The Germans then
would be forced 70 cut their way out
or eventually surrender. The imme.
diate result Of the allied blows on the
western side Of the salient has been to
stop definitely the German drive from
Chateau Thierry to Massiges In the
Champagne. This In itself Is victory
for the allies, but continued progress
arouses hope that this victory will re,
suit In an enemy debacle.
Blows delivered by the French and
Italians In the region Of Courton and
Roi woods and the capture Of Moulin
d'Adre, south Of Marfaux, aions with
the seizure Of hundreds Of prisoners,
indicates that the allies are to lose NO
time in counter offensive blows In this
region. Weakened as the Germans
must be by necessary diversions Of re-
serves to the western side Of the sail
ent, the allied armies operating to the
south Of Rheims may find it within
their power to press far enough west
to make certain the bottling up Of the
enemy operating in the regions Of the
Marne.
The French show no signs Of waiting
on voluntary German retirement ON
the Marne, but are hammering the
Germans viciously on the southern
bank Of tho river, where the Teutons
sought to press east to Epernay.
Montvoisin has been recaptured by
the French and fighting is going on in
the outskirts Of Oeuilly, which indi-
Gates a distinct retrograde movement
Of the enemy.
The initiative is with the allies. Un-
questionably, however. rather than see
their costly fruits Of offensive en-
deavor wrested from them the Germans
soon will begin series Of heavy coun-
ter blows to ward off the peril now con-
fronting them. But the allies are
ready for this and anything else the
Hun may attempt.

Saratoga yesterday. A popular figure
in full partisan panoply appeared in
the convention hall, and the delegates

longed cheering warmed his heart, and

Next week ths den. .ocrats will meet
at Saratoga. They, too, have family
infelicities to settle. Politics will
show some strange bedfeHows on that
occasion. The relations between TAM
many and the national administration
have been quite as strained as those
between Barnes and Roosevelt. But
Tammany will cheer the administra-
tion as loudly-and as partisanly-as
Barnes cheered Roosevelt. The name
Of Wilson will bring Tammany to its
feet with greeting that will raise the
roof.
Elsewhere when things begin to hum
similar scenes will be enacted. Poll
tics will rule throughout the country.
Barnes does not love Roosevelt now
any more than when they were at dag
gers drawn. Nor does Tammany love
the President any more than when it
was complaining Of his neglect in the
distribution Of the federal patronage.
Barnes wanted candidate with whom
he thought his party could win. Tam
many knows that the President is mas
ter Of the democratic situation, and
that without the inspiration Of his
name the party would have no chance

the main, the old party leaders will

ber result, whichever side wins, will be
a party victory Of consequence in con-
nection with 1920, when politics will
again rule the roost.

Foch's Surprise.

The Franco-American counter Of
fensive of yesterday between scissors
and Chateau Thierry was launched
without preliminary artillery fire. The
troops went over the top directly be-
hind their barrage, and SO surprised
the Germans in some sectors that they
captured officers in their sleep and
made prisoners Of soldiers engaged in
harvesting grain.
The attack appears to have been q
complete surprise, as it was evidently
not believed by the Germans that the
allied forces would dare to assume an
offensive Lot in the nature Of a coun-
ter advance to regain terrain just taken
from them. The sector between Sois-
sons and Chateau Thierry has been
"stabilizcd' for some weeks save for
intermittent activity toward the south
in the region of BeHeau wood, where
the American troops have been en-
gagged from time to time in raids.
This operation is an instance Of
Foch's generalship. At the battle of
the Marne in September, 1914, Gen.
Foch did the unexpected. He reported
to Gen. Joffre that his right and left
fanks were in retreat, and he proposed
to strike in the center. He did so with
the result of completely upsetting the
German plan Of attack and turning tho
tide Of battle. Fe is said to have a
genius for discovering the right mo-
ment and the right place for deliver
ing blow
In the present instance Foch's eoun-
ter stroke is obviously delivered at the
psychological moment and at the point
most likely to yield large results. The
enemy is himself still in state of Of
fensive action, but Foch strikes vir-
tuaaly at his rear. He compels COM
plete realignment, forces the shifting
Of German reserves, pulls the enemy
off his balance, so to speak, and in ad-
dition puts him in a position Of ex-
trene danger by threatening to bottle
up large force in an ine1tricable po-
sition
Foch's genius for understanding the
'enemy's plan has been demonstrated
in his readiness to withstand the fifth
German assault practically without
yielding ground and with slight losses.
He evidently knew precisely where the
foe would strike. He met him with
out faltering and without calling upon
any of his reserves, which were held
in readiness for just such blow as
that begun yesterday. Allied conf
dence in Foch's ability to handle the
great responsibility that has been in
trusted to him is increased by this lat
est move, whatever the immediate re-
suits.

The Allied Counter Offensive

The Allied counter U1enHYe.
With French and American armies
sweeping on from the Aisne to tho
Marne, with French and italian armies
returning hard blows against the Teu-
tons on the eastern side Of the
U-shaped salient soissons-C Chateau
Thierry to Rheims, with French forces
vigorously assailing the kaiser's armies
in tho sharp pocket, on either side Of
the Marine in the general direction Of
Epernay, the strategical situation Of
the German armies today is more seri-
Gus than any they have faced since the
war started. In fact, unless the Ger
man command should make sweeping,
speedy and effective moves to prevent
further development of allied successes
disaster is ahead. Already continued
German tenure Of the salient is a mat
ter Of conjecture. Truly, Germany's
dilemma is writ large.
French and Americans in their drive
Of yesterday penetrated the enemy posi-
lions on the western side Of the salient
for an average depth Of three to four
miles. The greatest penetration, how
ever, was near the mouth of the sail
ent in the region Of Scissors, where
dominating heights were seized, bring
ing the city under allied guns. The
effects of this are far-reaching, even
should the allies advance no farther.
Railroad lines ON the Aisne and high
ways spreading over the inner arc Of
the salient, all essential to continued
Germanic tenure Of their present posi-
tions, are within reach Of allied artil-
lery.
The German command must revise its
plans. Should the allies press south
and east Of Scissors, capture in its en-
tirety the soissons- Chateau Thierry
highway, take Fere-en-Tardenois,
Braine and Fsmes, the position Of the
Teuaonic armies will be hopeless and
may result in the capture Of tens II
not hundreds Of thousands Of German
prisoners; for all communication lines
southwark will be directly in the hands
Of the French and American forces or
completely dominated by them.
To continue successes within the sail
emit for any period the German armies
Hpst have unlimited supplies Of food.
