The War AtA Glance
CBy the Associated PressD

THE day finds Germany a little
L nearer the brink OF disaster.
Marshal Foch's broom, applied in
the Champagne. has swept the
enemy back from a wider section
Of the front than ever before.
Gen. Ludendorff is reaping the
results Of the cardinal error he
made in thinking that the allied
offensives were bound to be
spaced at wide intervals ike his
own The continuity Of the at
tacks has literally dumbfounded
the Germans. and il is plain there
is vacilating at grand German
headquarters. The evacuation Of
the Belgian coast appears TO have
been ordered and then counter
manded, which justifies the in
ference that Gen Ludendorff is
no longer guided by purely mill
tary considerations. either from
the demoralizinE effect a retreat
on a large scale would have on
the interior, or with the idea that
the more territory remains IN his
hands, the stronger viii be Ger
nany's position in its converse
tiOns with Washington. Gen. Lu-
dendorff is letting Prussia's time
slip by, for which it is likely he
will repent
och Uses NO=i's Principles
Marshal Foch. in the preface TO
his celebrated book on the con-
duct OF war. says:
Nogls army at Mukden sought
not so much TO rush the Russian
right by a flank attack as to get
on his rear and thus determine
The retreat Of all the enemy's
forces"
The allied commanderinchief
seems TO be applying that prin-
ciple in France. The German
front forms a vast salient from
the Escaut TO the 1euse. the
extreme point Of il being at
Anizy. Marshal Foch IS attack
ing it not alone on one flank, but
on both alternately, while he is
pressing the center in the sec
ton between La Fere and Berry
au Bac TO prevent the enemy's
breaking contact and slipping
away.
