abortive German attempt to hold on
for whole week without retirement.
l have touched on 1t in the sentence
above, In connection with holding the
extreme southern-most piece of terri
tory on the Marine itself around Dor
mans. The main railway uniting Paris
with the eastern front. that is, with
Verdun and Nancy, passes right along
the bank of the Marine at this spot,
and SO long as the enemy was pres
ent in the hills which dominate the
sector OF Dormans he completely cut
this line. There is an alternative line
to the south, but it is less direct, and
the pressure upon it, so long as the
main line was cut, was very heavy.
That was one reason, apart from all
question OF internal policy, for the at
tempt to hold on to the salient which
has now failed. Obviously, If the en-
envy is compelled to retire from his
most advanced positions that is, from
the southern portion OF the salient on
the Marine itself, as he has now been,
there is nothing left for him to do but
to fatten the salient thoroughly.
There has been good deal of spec
ulation as to whether the enemy in
tended to relieve his situation by
some main attack elsewhere.
Like most Of the questions put to the
public by the press during the war
this question is insoluable and at
tempts to solve it are vain. No one
knows the mind of the enemy's COM
mand before events reveal it. II they
did the war would be won by knowl-
edge alone.

Preble County Board of
Instruction Appointed

EATON. O., Aug. 3.-Following is
the personnel Of the Selective Service
Instruction board for Preble county,
selected Friday by the local draft
board: Rev. ]. E. Yingling, Father
Joseph NJ. Hyland, e. P. Vaughan and
Mrs. Minnie B. Davis of Eaton; Rev.
A. Campbell Bailey, Fairhaven: o. v.
Fritz, West Alexandria,; l.. G. Stubs,
West Elkton; Samuel Oldfather, Lew.
isburg; Clayton r. Coblentz, New
Paris; Mrs. Lee Danser, Camden.
The board, which will operate under
supervision of the local draft board,
will meet in Eaton next Tuesday after
noon for organization and to receive
instructions. The meeting will be
held at the temporary court house.
The board probably will meet three
or four times, each session consuming
something like two hours time After
the organization meeting, registrants
will be expected to attend the succeed
ing meetings at which times members
of the board will explain to them the
various phases OF army life, so that
they may take up thier duties with a
clearer understanding of what lies be-
fore them, and thus prepare them for
rapid advancement as good soldiers !.

abandonment Of the southern end OF
the salient, which had been so tena-
iously chung to on the Marne around
Dormans.
Such is the most general explana-
ton OF these astonishing orders and
counter orders which for more than a
week produced an equally astonishing
military situation, in which defeated
force desperately hung on to posi-
tions which could only be held by the
heaviest sacrifice and which at first
sight seemed of no particular value
for there can be no hope of using them
once again for offensive action. But
it is well to understand that there
may be perfectly good explanation
of these orders and counter orders on
a military basis alone, without con-
sidering the question of domestic pol
icy, the effect on civilian opinion or
the conflict between politicians and
soldiers.
The first refusal to fall back may
well have been due to simply mis-
apprehension of the situation lasting
more than day. The subsequent de-
termination to retire may have been
due to delay in bringing up sufficient
troops In time to hold the line by
counter-attack. When these appeared,
and when the Allied progress was cor
respondingly checked, and in some
places completely halted, one may be-
lieve that the local command advised
the Higher Command that 1t could
though with difficulty-maintain it's
positions.
A Purely Military
View Of His Acts.
The Higher Command, gambling,
perhaps, upon the hope that these
operations would prove even more ex-

the way. In the present confusion
according to the explanation-the Sc
quence Is supposed to have been some
what as follows:
First, the refusal to withdraw, due
to misunderstanding of the gravity
of the Allies counter thrust on July
Is; then, realization of the danger
and the order to retire, followed III
turn by political advice that civilian
opinion in Germany would be grievous-
ly shaken by retirement at this
stage, which would be a confession of
military breakdown, inasmuch as
it would proclaim to everybody that
the great offensive had been broken
and which would mean the restora-
ton OF Won Kuhlmann, who had fall
en- on account of his pronouncement
that no military decision could be
hoped for; at last, when the pressure
became too great, the recognition that
sheer military necessity compelled the

with the object OF retaining ground
1t was not fully successful. even at
such price. Fringe by fringe, the
German position was torn away. Willie
MontOire was retaken, the extremely
important position OF Oulchy was seiz.
ed. the Nanteuil brook was crossed,
and by evening Of Friday. July rs. the
French guns were firing into the road
junction of Fere-en-Tardenois, at a
range of just 5000 yards, which meant
that the use Of that point by the enn.
envy had become impossible.
Continuing the line to the south. the
Americans had also kept on taking
ground until the allied line on the
same night was ten miles northeast
Of Chateau Thierry.
But on July % there suddenly re-
appeared the policy of a general re-
tirement. Now. why have these four
successive policies, each a contradic-
ton Of the last, followed the other in
such fashion? What successive mo-
tives have been at work?
Conflict Between
Politics and Military
Here we are reduced to conjecture
The commonest answer Is the polfti-
cal one. We are told that here, as
has so often been the case In the last
few months, there has been conflict
between the purely military point of
view in Germany and the civilian, or
foreign office, point of view. It may
be pointed out in passing that those
who know the country best are con-
WINGED that the Emperor, who Is not a
mere figurehead as in most monarch
es, but Is a real power, usually backs
up the civilian as against the purely
point of view. But that Is by

ing were those of rear guards rather
than true counter attacks.
After about another equal interval,
probably early on Sunday, comes the
third order. The German troops in the
unfortunate salient were hidden to
cease their retirement, to hold on at
all costs and to keep as much of the
ground they were occupying as pos
sible. They were particularly hidden
to hang on tenaciously to the south
ernmost and most difficult portion of
the ground along the. Marine itself,
in the neighborhood of Dormans. A
new and vigorous policy Of expensive
counter attacks was inaugurated,
many fresh divisions appeared on the
western side of the salient and the
artillery actions grew heavier as the
week advanced, which showed that
some guns had been hurried back.
The policy through all the days be-
came one Of high expense in men

pensive to the Allies than they did to
the Germans, thought they could not
be continued tor many days and that
the Allied advance, which was already
checked. might be stopped dead, may
well have accepted this suggestion on
the part of the local command and de-
termined from July 81 onward to hold
all the positions possible around the
ring of the salient. Finally, on the
evening of Friday, July &c, it must
have appeared impossible to the en-
envy to hold longer. He then revert
ed to his original policy Of retirement,
abandoning the line of the Marine
with the control over it's railway and
frankly flattening the salient, SO that
upon the succeeding day the French
and Americans were able to occupy
quite a considerable new belt of coun-
try.

sixty divisions-two-thirds Of their

curious hesitation to retire or even
modify their position beyond the
Marine during all Of Thursday and
Friday.
The second order must have been
dated some time Friday, July 10, a

counter attack had been delivered. 1t
