THE Whole Allied Main Lateral
l. Line Restored to Use

Later, during the course of the opera
tions against Verdun in 1916, the branch
from Chalons to Verdun came under
German fire, and it was this isolation of
Verdun from it's railway supply that
made the situation Of that front so criti-
cal during the earlier part of 1916. AS
we all know, the main line of the Allied
lateral communications suffered further
this year. BY April 4, 1918, the Amiens
line came under the German fire, and by
May 80 the eastern line at Chateau
Thierry. The latter was released few
days after the counter offensive of July
Is and the former on August 8. But the
eastern line still lay cut further on by
Commercy, and the Verdun branch also.
The first immediate effect of the
American victory last Thursday was to
relieve both these lines, and by Friday
morning, September Is, the whole Allied
main lateral line of communication in
the West, for the first time since the
full use. The second strategic conse-
quencc of the American victory was the
approach of the Allies to the main Ger
man lateral communication, and this is

The Americans Strike Heavily at the
Line From Argonne to the
Swiss Frontier
Author of elements of the Great War; Most
Military Critic
By HILAIRE BELLOC

~HE American victory on Thurs
day, September IL, has two great
items of interest attached to it
fact and question. The fact is
the extreme precision of the operation;
The question is how quickly and on what
scale the enemy will be able to bring
men down south from his congestion in
me north between Rheims and Arras.
The extreme precision of the American
work was unexpected by the enemy and
must rank as new asset against him.
The enemy certainly expected that the
new army raised from the smallest pos
sjble nucleus of professionals, rapidly
trained and (in their eyes) little more
than militia, would be necessarily def
cent in staff work. SO long as the Amer
lean units were only fighting brigaded
with the British or French, or even later,
when they acted in isolated divisions un-
der French command, the enemy could
cherish this illusion.
Now that the first general action un-
dertaken by force mainly American
and under American command has
proved more exact and rapid than any
other of the war he must completely re-
wise his view. He, and the Allies, too,
tor that matter, are in possession of a
new fact, which gravely alters the
chances of the campaign against the Cen
trail Powers and in our own favor.

lines behind the main one. For instance,
if the junction at Contains came under
close-range Allied fire, the work could 20
on, though less easily, round by Thion-
vile and Fontoy or Luxembourg. But be-
hind Longuyon, the junction for Luxem-
burg, there is no branch line. There is
here the great mass of the Ardennes
hills and forests, and if the railway is
reached and cut just here the whole unity
Of the German lateral communications is
destroyed. That is the vital matter. 1t
would mean that the German army in
the West would be compelled to act in
the future as two separate armies de-
pendent upon two separate lines of sup
ply, with no direct communication be-
tween them. The enemy could not rush
men up north or down south to meet
each new blow. He would have to go
around through Belgium with loss Of
time of several days, and that would be
fatal to him.

LIE Must Weaken His
Al Other Fronts

The lines are not yet in danger The
American victory does not yet bring
Contains nearer than 10000 yards from
the furthest possible forward emplace-
ment of the heavy guns nor Longuyon
nearer than $4,000 yards; but it pro-
vldes line from which advance but a
few miles would put both these functions
out of action, and in the case of the Sec
ond one would strike q fatal blow at the
eneny's lateral communications. He
knows that we'll enough and will mass
to defend that railway. But he cannot
be everywhere; and to compel him to
mass there is to compel his thinning his
front dangerously further south in the
open plain of Lorraine, on the sector
from Nancy to Charmes.
The third strategic result of the Amer
lean victory is more simple and apparent
to every one. 1t consists in the relative
loss of men. Two German divisions have
ceased to exist, and there has been a
total loss in killed, prisoners and wound
ed of at least 10000, and all that has
been the work of twenty-four hours.
The price paid in Allied, especially
American, casualties is known to be
slight, though the actual figures, Of
course, are kept secret.
This. loss is serious to the enemy at
the present moment. Apart from two
new tactical assets of the Allies, the new
tanks and the American unit of COM
bat, which, as have explained before, is
virtually new tactical instrument, the
great peril OF the Germans is the rapidly
increasing disproportion between their
numbers and ours. Long ago, August
20, they had to break up eight divisions
to fill their gaps, and they had to send
for Austrian reinforcements, and the
number of these which can be spared is
limited. To have two divisions DESTROYED
and from four to six more hammered
in one brief operation of twenty-four
hours, with the immediate loss of 10000
men, is at least heavy blow.
There remains the question Of how
rapidly and upon what scale the enemy
can bring troops southwark, south and
east Of Rheims and the Argonna, to meet
the menace which imperils his exist
cnce. AS my readers know, three-qusr.
ters Of the German strength was con-
centrated for attack before June IS
north and west Of the Argonne, only
one-quarter held the other half of the
line from the Argonne to the Swiss from
tier. And one-half was concentrated for
attack between Arras and Rheims alone.
When the attack was suddenly turned
into anxious defence upon July IS this
congestion in the north was pinned and
kept there by the perpetually increasing
and frightening Allied assaults, which
gave no respite from July 10 to the
present day, and which compelled the
Germans still to concentrate in the
north.
