WINTER, FOCH Plan
United States First Army
Continual Threat of
Invasion
GERMAN FORCES
ARE SHATTERED
BY HAROLD E. BECHT0I..

LONDON. Oct. 25-Thc Allies intend
70 allow the weaken German army no
rest this winterl
The usual winter "lull" which has
marked each year of the war so far,
may be counted out OF it this time.
have this information from the
highest sources.
As a British military official explained
IT,: Marshal FOch says he is going on.
Foch is a soldier only. When he says
he is going on--he means he is going on.
You may depend on thatW
One of the most important points OF
allied strategy just now is TO keep ham
mering at the Germans and to prevent
the German command from taking time
to reorganize and freshen its badly bat
tered and short-handcd divisions.
Where Hunland Is Threatened
Since Pershings FIRST army in its
initial blow fattcned out the st. Mihiel
salient there is another important point
bearing on the decision TO keep steadily
hammerlng at the Germans until they
are decisively beaten:
Pershing's present position is con-
tinuous threat against not only the
strong fortress OF Metz. but also the
important lateral line Of communication
running from Strassburg via Metz TO
Montmedyi
The capture OF the ground between
The Muesc and the Moselle enables the
Allies at any time they please TO mount
an attack in a direction which threat
ems the security OF the whole German
line by the menacing their lateral COM
munications, Metz fortress and the
Briey iron district.
It may be that the Importance OF the
first army's first victorious blow will
not fully sink home until months have

passed, but it is well to bear in mind
that II the Germans should right now
decide 10 retire to the line of the Meuse,
the position OF Pershng's Yankee force
would still be a constant menace to the
whole line Of the Meuse.
German Forces Shattered.
As for the German strength in the
west, the total number Of divisions In
the west is far under the 200 mark for
the FIRST time in months; 10 German di-
visions have recently been broken up.
And in more than score Of divisions
the battalion strength has been reduced
to three companies.
The German command is finding it
increasingly difficult to arrange reliefs
Of divisions in line, with the result that
the severe strain on the troops held in
front for long periods is having a
steady and ever increasing effect on
morale.
With these conditions, the advantage
TO the Allies of continued blows cat

there, with no breathing spaces, is OBJ
vious.
As to Fighting Conditions.
All that remains is the question OF
ground and weather conditions. A
French officer who is well acquainted
with the whole front said:
In many places. particularly in a
portion of the region which is since
the American success. the most menac-
ing TO the German line. lighting can be
continued throughout the winter; with
all the weapons used in the lighting

Elsewhere, on the most OF the front,
large scare fighting can go on with GER

weapons and methods. But the Ger
mans have 10 contend with the same
conditions OF ground and weather that
we do. And the Germans would gain

LAW IS LIFTED ON
 KILLING OF DOVES

Considering it a war measure and one which could not be included in the call of the legislature by the governor, State Game Warden G. NJ. Willard has suspended the operation of the game law as to doves and white wings. The early appearance of doves and white wings in large quantities and their serious depredations on grain and rep ening fruit, both of which are cOnsid- cred by the game warden as essential factors in the prosecution of the war, caused the announcement by the game warden that the law has been sus- pended The game warden further calls upon all sportsmen to take up their fowling pieces and make war on the offending birds.
 The law creating the closed season for dove and white wings is an initi- ated measure, and the special session of the legislature would have no power to amend it. The game warden an nounces that there will be no prosecl- tions for violations of the law.

 where, however, has there been a con flict which might be considered more than a skirmish.
 There have been no fuTter reports from Rome or Vienna relative to op- erations on the Italian front, where, on ThuTsd1y. the Italians made deter mined attacks on Austrian positions east of the Bretna river.
 Expect Great Thrust
 A summary of te military situation on te western front, given out by the British general staff, states that an- other terrific attack by the Germans is imminent IL is indicated that the British expect the new attack to be on as great a scale as that of March 21, when the fighting Was begun over front of fifty miles The halt of the German assault has biven the Teutons chance tc reform their shattered di visions, Ii is admitted, but it also has allowed the allies to strengthen their lines.
 The arrival of American troops which are coming to the battle field in large numbers is another factor in favor of the entente aAies, it is point ed out.
