to get any measure of Allied success:
read, rather, the daily lists of the totals
of prisoners, guns and materials capt
ured. The ground is desert, and in all
human probability Ludendortf, left to
himself, would have retired at least as
far as the upper Somme if Rawlin-
sons successful thrust of August had
been solitary blow and not one in a
carefully arranged series. Between the
old Somme front and the Hindenburg
line there is only desert; the man who
has it behind him is the worse off, be-
cause even the ways of communication
are lacking, while his troops in reserve
are without cover or protection against
the weather.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
Lis Position Is Not
L ! Yet Hopeless

Nothing that has yet happened pre-
cludes a desperate attempt on Luden-
dorff's part to regain the initiative
when his line has been stabilized. Moth
ing proves that he will not be able to
stabilize the front in relatively near
time and not further east than the Hin
denburg line. His position is not yet as
bad as that of the Allies just before
Foch took command, after Petain had
saved Haig by closing the gap between
the Disc and the Somme But that po
sitlon was one of deadly peril. and
Ludendorff's. s. if not so critical. is one
OF extreme discomfort, carrying with it
the patent danger of disaster in the
Immediate future and hourly getting
worse
The thing | would say to my readers
now is just this: Things have gone bet
ter than any one could have foreseen
and most of us hoped this year. I be-
ieve that there is very good chance
that the German will be driven to the
frontier before winter, but think this
is matter of conjecture On the other
hand, it is possible that he will be able
to rally and stand off attack until the
end of this campaign. But whatever he
does now in the remaining weeks of this
campaign. his complete defeat next wear
seems to me beyond question believe
military decision will be had in the
next campaign, when American millions
are available and these are used with
the supreme genius of Marshal Foch.
The one peril it seems to me, is that
the happy turn of tide may lead us to
expect too much this year and thus give
the German valuable weapon when
he comes to US, as he will, this winter
and says:
Neither side can win the war on the
battlefield. l tried and failed last wear,
and then you tried and failed; therefore
let US make peace by negotiation We
may win the war on the battlefield this
year; there is a chance, but only a
chance. But this is not our year to win,
but his. He has had his chance and
tailed; our chance can only come surely
next year. Our problem this year was
to live, and in the last five weeks we
have won second Marne, a third and
even a fourth Somme, taken 10000
prisoners and regained 1900 square
miles of France, while a little earlier
our Italian ally won the Piave

= erman Retreat Was
~ a Certainty

foch knew, Ludendorff knew, after
August 8, that there would be German
retreat; probably both were sure Of it
after the battle of the Marne salient had
turned against the German. Foch's prob
lem was to prevent Ludendorff from re.
peatlng Hindenburg's exploit and max
ing a retirement without the loss of men
or guns, another such retreat as that
of March, 1917. If Ludendorff could get
away in good order and with small loss
ne might be in shape to make new bid
for the initiative, make later attack in
Flanders. Artois or Lorraine, possibly
between Rheims and Verdun. But if he
had to consume his reserves in prevent
ing retreat from degeneratine into a
rout he would find himself, when he did
get back to the Hindenburg line, in no
shape to make an attack.
Now, in this battle between two rivals
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
I udendorf Attacked Before
L. He Could Start Anything

Conceivably Ludendorff had hoped to
make long stay west Of the Hindenburg
lire; possibly he intended to hold the old
Somme line for period Of time. If this
be the case then he has suffered a sweep
ing defeat; but this seems an unlikely
conjecture. The weakness of his posi-
tionS was too obvious. At all events he
was attacked before he could start any
thing but the most limited local retreats
he had to accept battle at last about Ba-
paume, and the various attacks upset the
equilibrium Of his whole front from
scissors to the environs of Arras. The
consequence has been loss of more than
10000 prisoners since the end of the
original thrust of Rawlinson and De-
beny, which alone cost him upward of
35 900 prisoners.
1t is a mistake to measure present
gains by the old standards of trench
warfare. Byng went further in three
days of his latest drive than Rawlnson
was able to make in six months on the
Somme in 1916. But the enemy is not

has not the same value. Such success
in 1916 would have meant the expulsion
of the Germans from France, for then
they had no Hindenburg line behind them
and no such comparative strength in
numbers.
1t is an equally serious mistake to
think that the present rapid advances
are a sign of the return of an unlimited
war of movement. They are not; they
constitute in reality the pursuit of ali
enemy from one series of positions to
the next. Unless the enemy is so de-
moralzed in this pursuit between posi-
tons that he cannot stand on the next
series of lines the war of movement
will presently come to an abrupt end.
If he is, then we shall see a march of
victory going far forward; but it will
not be war of movement then. but jxst
an uninterrupted pursuit until the
enemy can find new position and
stand either at the Meuse or the Rhine.
Nor is there any sign of such collapse
on the German side
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
XVIhat We Can Do
w in a Year

If we are stopped for the rest Of the
year at the Hindenburg line We shall be
better off than any reasonable man
could have hoped for last March, and
we shall have every reason in the world
for believing that before this time next
year we shall have demonstrated that
the German is to be decisively beaten on
the battlefield in the campaign Of 1919.
Major General Tom Bridges of the
British army, who reorganized King AL
bert's forces, once said to ME that the
thing that he had found most dangerous
in German methods was the advantage
they took of unwarranted optimism, Of
too great hopes held by the enemy
which were beyond immediate real
ization and when they were not realized
were followed by equally unreasonable
pesslmism. To me this is the only re-
naming danger. For the rest there is
Foch, recent victories and ever increas-
ing American numbers, the defeated
submarine and the ever-growing mats
rial advantages of the Allied armies, and
there is chance, bare chance, Of u
decisive victory this year-%s against
the certainty Of next year.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
I f One Allied Army Rests,
i Another Works

The engaging aspect of Foch's STRAIT
egy IS that it permits no period of rest
for the enemy. Ludendorff is always
being attacked. If one Allied army rests
another is at work, and each army's sue
cess opens the way for the attack of an
other. There is an ever present demand
for reserves; the strain increases, it
does not diminish; the whole line cannot
stabilize itself; a local dislocation is al.
ways in progress and this is communi-
eating itself to adjoining sectors. So
far 1t has been something like the STRAIT
egy of lightweight boxer against a
heavyweight, in which the skill of the
smaller man has enabled him to rain
blow after blow upon his opponent, con-
fusing him, dazing him, Furnishing hin,
considerably, but more conspicuouslv
shaking his confidence. The German. ON
the other hand, has in the past, when he
had the offensive, staked all on the
knockout blow, which he never quite
landed. Now. when the heavyweight is
weary, the comparatively fresh oppo-
nent has his chance.
We have now to reckon with the pos
slble and the probable. 1t is possible
that the German strategy may at any
moment collapse and some local thrust
produce a real disaster This did ap-
proximately happen in March, when
Coughs army, routed in the first two
days of the conflict retreated straight
away from the French, who were trying
to come to it's assistance, and almost
gave the Germans Amiens 1t is less
likely to happen in the German army,
because there is no comparison between
the German staff and the British just
as there will be no comparison between
any staff we may create in this war and
the French staff. This is the fatal de-
feet of new armies, and the British, as
contrasted with the French or German
armies, is new army
A real disaster might make a German
stand at the Hindenburg line impossible
and might be the prelude to a general
retirement to the line of the Meuse, but
if it be possible such a solution is i'm
probable Much more likely is a con-

Came a Swift, Sure
L Blow by Mangin

But the dislocatlon of the Germans on
the Lassigny Heights had. weakening
influence upon the Germans across the
Disc in the triangle between the Disc
and the Aisne Their flank toward the
Disc was becoming menaced and the pro-
gressive dislocaton of the soft front be-
tween Arras and Soissons now ended
to the sectors between Noyon ana Sois-
sons. This situation was promptly rec
ognized and met by another swift, sure
blow, this time delivered by Mangin,
who had first struck at Scissors, south
of the Aisne, in the days of the Second
Marne, but now transferred the mass of
his tenth army to the north bank of
the Aisne and struck all the way from
the Disc to the Aisne. In three days
he had bundled the Germans out of all
the strong positions south of the Disc
and west of the Ailette to the very edge
of scissors. He had taken $4,000 pris-
oners and more than 200 guns. He found
himself by the middle of the week of
August 10 holding all the positions oc-
SuPiCu Wy CIlc IeIlCH UetWGcn Lne use
and the Aisne held after the March 81
offensive and before the German attack
of June 8, as far west as the Ailette.
But by midweek Mahgin's thrust was
losing it's force; the German lines were
beginning to stabilize on advantageous
ground; Humbert and Debeny were still
before the old Somme lines, from Noyon
to Roye; Rawlinson could make fur
ther easy progress between Albert and
Roye. 1t was time to produce a new
dislocation. Thereupon Foch threw Byng
against the Germans between Albert and
Arras, whose position had been in
small degree compromised by the dis
locations which had taken place to the
south. The result, after a somewhat
less rapid initial gain, was the swift ad-
vance of Byng's army in the next four
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
Getting the Question
~ of Initiative

The major riddle was answered on
August 8, when Foch threw Rawlinson
against the German salient in Picardy
at the point of junction of the armies
of Marwitz and Hutier. The success Of
the attack settled the question of the
initiative for considerable period of
time, perhaps for the rest of the war.
The German defeat was obviously to
have consequences which would compel
Ludendorff, in seeking to minimize
these consequences and escape from
position which had become untenable,
to conform to Foch's will for period
Of weeks at the very least. This was
not the case with the Marine defeat; it's
consequences were local, it involved a
retirement only in one strictly limited
area, between Rheims and Scissors, and
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
Mot Based Upon
~ Haphazard Blows

Now it is essential to recognize at the
outset that this Foch strategy this
strategy revealed in series of blows in
the dslocation of a sector Of the front
which would result in the destruction of
the equilibrium in adjoining sectors, was
not strategy based upon haphazard
blows. The whole series of attacks was
perfectly coordnated and army followed
army into the attack, as various diyi
slons wheel into line from side streets
to join city procession. 1t was a whole
of many parts, but the parts were all
perfectly fitted. Nor is there any reason
to believe that we have seen the limit
OF the application Of the strategy. On
the contrary, new attacks by new armies
seem inevitable.
Now, looked at from the broadest pos
sible horizon, what does the F'och STRAIT
egy aim at? Primarily it aims at de-
stroying the organization and the mo-
rale of the Central German armies be-
tore they can reach position on which
the front will become stabilized. Such
position exists in the old Hindenburg
line. To this there is every reason to
believe that the Germans are now turn
ing, but the measure of the success of
Foch will not be found IN the territory
regained when the Germans get back
to their old defensive systems, but the
condition in which they reach these sys
TENS and the cost to them in men and
guns of their retirement. Don't look at
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
\ n Ideal Front for
"A French Strategy

The result was that any considerable
vance at any point on all this bulging
line which had it's extreme western
point at Montdidier, would inevitably
set in motion not merely the front at
tackled, but adjoining sectors. It was
front on which local dislocation, if it
were considerable, might set the whole
front from the" Scarpe to the Disc in
motion. 1t was, therefore, an ideal
front on which to put into operation the
French, as contrasted with the German,
method of strategy-the swift, sharp
blow rather than the mass attack For
Foch had not the masses which were
necessary to repeat the German per-
formance of March, and, beyond all else,
it was essential that he should not give
the foe time to transform a soft into
a rigid front.
AS result we had on August the
sudden blow Of Rawlinson, delivered on
Thursday and practically checked by
Sunday. 1t broke through consider
able extent of the soft front from the
Somme southwark and it enabled
Debenys first French army, to the south,
to move forward on it's flank. The re-
suit was the precipitate retirement of
the Germans out of the point of the
Montdidier salient with the loss of 30
600 prisoners and 700 guns On the
whole front the Germans brought the
enemy to a standstill by August ~ on
the old Somme front of 1915
But this dislocation from the Somme
right down to the Matz had materially
affected that portion of the German line
from the Matz to the Disc, holding the
Lassigny Heights, which were vital cir
cumstance in the new German front to
the north. Accordingly, when Rawlin-
son and Debeny had done their work,
Humbert, with his third French army.
suddenly intervened and by series of
sharp attacks pushed the Germans right
over the Lassigny Heights, across the
tiny Divette and in upon Noyon While
the German line still held at Roye and
Chaulnes, it began to give way at Las
signy.
