SMASH BY HAIC
ONLY A STARTER
One of a Series of Blo.Ds
Planned by Foch.
Special Dsspatch 10 TIE srx


WARRINGTON. Aug. s.-Picking the
one spot in the German lines most
weakened by the futile attempt to stop
American and French troops in their
terrific offensive between Rheims and
Scissors. Marsl al Foch has delivered
another smashing blow. throwing Brit
ish and French troops through the Ger
man ranks on a twenty mile front be-
tween Montdidier and Albert.
To a depth OF several miles British
troops under Sir Douglas Ialg have
penetrated to the village of Plesier-
RoIainvilliers. Framerville forms the
apex Of the new salient formed thus far
by the drive
Only three minutes OF artillery bonn
bardment preceded tts, onslaught.
Cavalry and tanks went forward with
the infantry in the big tnrust. General
STAFF officers here regard this second big
smash as one OF a series OF continued
powerful offensives by the Allies The
German troops hurled back to-day were
the picked divisions under Crown Prince
Rupprecht OF Bavaria and Gen. Won
Hutiers army
The object OF Marshal Foch's attack.
according to military experts, was to
strike hard at the German positions
which have been menacing Haig's forces
along this front and force the enemy TO
accept battle before he could recover
from the shock of lis defeat by the
Americans and French.
Gen. March has referred TO the ele-
mentary object of each opposing army,
which he described as seeking to destroy
the other army. Marshal Foch has dem
ons.rated now that he In ready to as
sumo the offensive whenever he chooses.
The initiative is his.
Officers here believe that Marshal
Foch learned that the German high COM
mand had withdrawn troops from
Crown Prince Ruprrecht's divisions to
strengthen the German lines between
Scissors and Rheims. BY masslng great
strength In this region the Germans
probably calculated that Foch would
, keep following up his gains and they
hoped they would be able to stem the
tide with overwhelming defensive forces
Instead Foch varied his point OF at
tack and drove home another powerful
blow at the line which Germany had
! weakened in order to use troops else
where.
The execution OF the attack Is re-
garded by General STAFF officers as mas
| terful Sir Douglas Haig massed his
troops speedily under cover OF night and
seems to have prepared his plans with
out the enemy gaining cognizsn nee OF
them. The French First Army under
Gen. Debentry and the British Fourth
Army under Gen. Sir Henry Rawlinson
were selected to deliver the blow.
