Can Tic Keep 1t Cp?

THAT Marshal Foch has outmaneuvercd the
German general stat for period Of near
~ two months. outfought the German where
no maneuvcrinE possible and completely
nullfcd the gains upon which Germany spent
thousands OF lives. every observer now
knows. In this achievement tho whole tide
OF the war has changed. In some hopeful
quarters ii is even believed that tho allied
forces are actually on the road to decisive
victory, Il victory which may come before the
end of the year.
All this has been accom- plishcd by success
svc blows. The victory OF 1915 is not the
result OF one two or even three concentrated
drives. II is the result Of a thrust at first
one point then another and then another.
II is the result OF finding weak spot in the
enemy line and OF smashing it before Ger
many could throw in that reserve power which
might hold the French. British or Americans
in check The success OF this sort of fighting
has aroused the admiration OF the world. 1t
has stamped Foch the master stratcgist
of the whole war.
Ii this sort OF fighting goes on, the outcome
will be the breaking OF the German military
machine. This is obvious as daylight even
TO the layman, but the question that is being
anXiously asked in every allied country U.s.
whether or not flesh and blood can stand the
strain that has been put upon the Foch army
for an indefinite period 1t has been fighting
almost continuously since March p. For
three months it the defensive. 1t was
being battered by the great German on
saughts as no army in the history Of the
world was ever battered. For nearly two
months it has been the offensive, and has
been driving ahead night and day
1t is true that all the men now facing the
German invader have not been in action con-
tinuousiy. Some of them have been engaged
for few days. and are then relieved for Il
week or more. Others move onward for 4
brief time, then rest upon their arms and
their aurels. But the allied army has been
on edge almost every hour since the begin
ming OF spring. The tension upon it has been
terrific, and ii is wonder that it has been
able TO do even half of the work that ncces-
sty or cNpedency has forced upon it.
II this army is not exhausted or near ex-
haustion if it is able to continue the cam
paigning with the same effect that has marked
its operations since the middle of July, it is
not too much 10 expect that in few more
weeks every foot of ground taken by the
enemy will have been retaken; that the Hin
denburg line will be put far to the rear of
the allies, and that when winter settles down
the great artillery OF the entente armies will
begin pounding of the Rhine country which
