PARIS, Aug 2l.--"We have passed the

French press this morning.
AS TO the submarines off the U. s.

Great National strength.

Whatever the German plans may be.
it is obvious that they must all hinge on
the continued retention OF Laon and La
Fere, the positions which have Just been
constituted a separate command under
Gen. Won Boehn. This ganglion of hills
Is OF great natural strength and may be
impregnable TO direct attack. but OF all
the threats made against the security OF
the German defensive positions in tho
west probably the ono they regarded
most seriously was that against the great
massif by the French advance up the
Disc toward Laon and the occupation OF
the Chemin DIES Danes.
Marshal Fpch is playing on these
fears by his operations between tho Disc
and the Aisne, and his threats against
Noyon and the Disc Valley. Watcher
the recovery OF this hill country Is the
centre OF his military plans, as It was of
Gen. N!velle's, Or whether he has sur
prises in store must he the theme OF
constant speculation at German head
quarters.

Two Men Accused Are of Fifteen
Who Escaped From Dis

Mrs. Susie Tyrell, alias Dean. was
placed on trial today before Justice
Stafford and jury in Criminal Division
to answer an indictment for robbery.
Jointly charged with her were orville
Cook and Joseph M. Carroll the two
white men among the fifteen prisoners
who escaped from the District jail
last Sunday. The names of the men
were called for trial. but no response
was heard. The trial of the woman
proceeded.
The two are charged with holding
up and robbing William Noble, a young

have determined what points must be
defended to the last.
Bridges have been built wherever
necessary, great supplies of munitions
of all kinds have been accumulated,
reserves of troops have been carefully
distributed and schedules have been
prepared showing exactly the time
needed to transport any given unit to
any given place by train or motor.
Battles Fiercer Than Ever Expected.
In consequence of all these measures
the greatest confidence prevails
throughout the army. Despite the pres
emit hesitation Of both sides I believe
that there will be great battles this
spring. What form these battles will
take nobody knows except. that they
will probably be vaster and fiercer than
anything else the world has witnessed
hitherto.
The campaign of 1917 ended with two
battles. each a classic of its kind. The
first was the French victory at NAL
maison, which was a type of battle with
a limited objective and great, infinitely
studied artillery preparation. The sec
ond was the English victory at Cam
brai, typical of complete surprise and
with assault by tanks instead of by
long artillery preparation. The cam
paign of 1918 will probably include
battles OF both types.
