New York, March 29.--So far as can
be foresecu. the ~onbat in the west
has definitely turned in favor Of the
Allies with the Germans beginning to en-
gage in sulcn defensive tactics at inn
portant strategic points.
The German front Is now cntangled
in dangerous formations. due TO Won
llindcnburgS failure to keep his ior-
ward movements advancing AT COM
mon speed. Tho prccarious situation of
having outrun Germany's ability To pro-
vide II sufficiently large permanent army

If the Allies do not develop a major
countcr-attack a retirement of the Ger
mans may bc forced by series of local
assaults giving Won IIindenburg no rest

When the Present drive began the
German line from Nrras to Craonnc
measured about cightN-iiVe miles, The
battlefront between the same points Is
now about 40 miles. Each additional
mile means Won Hmdcnburg must find
probably 5000 soldiers for defensive
purposes If. therefore. the Germans at
tempt to retain their present positions
permanently they must increase their

and find the reserves to make good the
constant loss to which this force will
be subjected.
