chine gurners which still cover many
portions of the enemy's present fight
ing front. Behind this screen the Ger
mans were believed to have reoccu-
pied the old Hindenburg defenses,
probably repaired ana supplemented
There is feeling among some Of
ficials that the enemy is very likely to
signalize his intent to stad fast by
striking back hard at the advancing
French and British forces or even by
an attack at some other point desig-
mated to relieve pressure rather than
to achieve any decisive, success in the
way of capturing towns.
On the Allied side, it remains to be
seen whether Marshal Foch plans a
thanking operation on wide frot to
turn the enemy out of his ew lines
and keeping him moving back, or will
continue to hit at weak spots all
along the front. Opinion here is that
the larger enterprise is the most prob
able, since virtually the entire Ameri-
can army is available as fresh, hard
hitting force with which to deliver
coup. There is no doubt that many Of
ficers here regard the days immedi-
ately ahead as probably the crucial
period of the whole battle.

Washington, Sept. 9.-With the
German army standing today substan-
TALLY in the positions it occupied be-
fore last March 2l, it appears certain
to officials here that the next few
days will see the plans of the opposing
commanders revealed.
The statement in the official Ger
GlaD communiQue that "our new lines
have all been occupied" has been Civ
Ell only one construction here. APP
parsltly it was intended to mean that
the retirement had come to an end,
and .hat the Germans expected to stop
the Allied advances. In that event,

the French. British and American
armies will soon reach this defensive
position and subsequent operation will
show how Marshal Foch proposes to
assail the nrohlem that bafflcd the
French and British general staffs, the
breaking Of this advanced line Of de-
tense set up by the enemy on Bel

flood recently descended on Forest
Park here it swept away the fence

alligators and turtles marched fort

Then the goldfish were swept into

Then the sea lions started in on the
