much as whose quantity the enemy
has evidently misjudged.
We must remember when the suc-
gestlon of renewed enemy offensive
is made that though such an often
slve is a necessity to him if he is
to recover the initiative, vet it can
not be made until he has both re-
distributed his forces and recruited
them heavily. Meanwhile, his op-
ponents can mannuvre as and where
be chooses. For the great outstand
ing fact of July, 1918, in the history
OF the war is this: The enemy had
chosen that month for successful
effort which he hoped would be the
last; he had prepared for it nearly
all his available strength. and he
failed SO completely in it's first few
hours that for the moment, at least.
he handed over the conduct of the
war to those whom he had chal-
lenged.

movement was the curiouslv precipi-
tate abandonment of scissors when
the plateau above was being I'M
garrisoned during Thursday night;
the German troops holding scissors
must, of course, have been told that
they would have to fall back as
we'll. But through some cause of
delay with which we are not ac-
quainted the movement was imper-
fectly executed, and French troops
under General Vilmont, finding some
confusion among the enemy on the
outskirts of the town, fought their
way in and were in possession of
the whole place, with a number Of
prisoners in their hands, in the early
part of the afternoon.
The enemy was thus compelled to
fall back everywhere upon the west
ern side of the salient and necessa-
rlly had to withdraw upon the eastern
side also. Gueux and Thillois were
already given up early on Friday,
and by Saturday the enemy appears
to have been standing everywhere
upon the Vesle, or, rather, to have
been crossing that river.
There remain two policies for the
Germans in the immediate future in
this neighborhood They can either
stand upon their prepared position
along what are called the Heights Of
the Nesle, between that river and the
Aisne to the north and about 800
feet above water level, and then car
ry on to the westward. holding the
heights just above the Aisne val
ley, or they can fall back to the ridge
of the Chemin des Danes, which is
the strongest position on the whole
front.
If they choose the former course
they will have the disadvantage that
their line of defence is not continu-
Gus. 1t is broken by the Aisne val
Icy and the communication between
the two parts is imperfect. On the
cther hand, their front Will form an
unbroken line without any bulge,
right away from their positions near
the Argonne, past Rheims and past
scissors, and SO westward.

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-Lieutenant Com
mander Schwieger, who commanded the
submarine which sank the Lusitania,
is dead. His death occurred in Septem-
Der, 1917, but has only been admitted
by the German Admiralty, according to
reports received here
Last September Schwieger, in com
mand of the U-88, was in the Blight
of Heligoland with another submarine
Both U-boats submerged, and the other
commander felt chain sweeping along
the side of his boat, and believed he
had run into an unknown British mine
field. A terrific explosion under water
followed. The second boat rose rapidly,
and signalled for the other. There
was no reply. A vain watch was kept
for the USS, and she has not been
heard from since. There is little doubt,
the reports say, that she sank.

Can Allied Initiative
Be Held

If they fall back to the ridge of
the Chemin DIES Danes north of the
Aisne, where there are already
strong positions three years old and
with all Of which they are intimate
ly acquainted, the disadvantage is
that they will have to fall back in
the Champagne also-though that is
only disadvantage-while the ad-
vantage is that they will be in the
very strongest posture for defence
that they could find anywhere.
But the real interest for the i'm
mediate future lies not in these dis
positions of ground, important as
they are, but in the question whether
the initiative which has been now.
since July IS, in the hands of the
Allies can continue to be maintained
by them. For all that time the form
of battle has been given by the Al
lied Higher Command. 1t has been
what the Allies have chosen to do
that has compelled the enemy to
make the movements he has made.
He has been man9uvred from posi-
ton to position in spite of himself,
and he has suffered the will of his
opponent.
If this state of affairs continues
throughout the remainder of the
fighting season it makes the issue of
the campaign certain. Whether it
can continue or not depends on ele-
ments with which no one is &C
quainted save the commanders and
which even they cannot precisely
predict. The result depends upon
continued effect of two new tactical
factors: Superiority in the new in
stance of attack which the rival
armies are bringing into the field
and the increasing numbers of the
American troops, whose quality as

fresh divisions from the north in a
determination to hold, at least tenn
porarily, as much of the salient as
possible. This only increased his
congestion and added heavily to his
losses, for the Allied pressure was
too much for him, and he had to
give way step by step.
BY the evening of July 81 he had
reached a line which looked as
though he could hold for very con-
siderable time, and which he GER
tainly intended to hold. 1t was
series of positions which were strong
because they followed the highest
ground of the district. The line
first ran along the high bare plateau
above the Crise brook, on which he
kept much Of his artillery hidden;
then 1t went around just north of
tere-en-Tardenois, passing just over
the rounded open summit of all this
countryside, which is known as Hill
205 and stands just north of the
village of Rozoy beyond Fere; going
eastward it faced the American
troops in the centre and held them
at Cierges and Seringes and so fol-
lowed up to Ville-en-Tardenois and
the Eastern front against the Noun
tain of Rheims, which hitherto had
hardly changed.
Generally speaking, this line fol-
lowed the watershed between the ba
sin Of the Marne and the basin of
the Aisne. 1t forbade any direct OBJ
servation by the Allies over the coun
try beyond the enemy's lines, where
his congested columns of supply and
retirement were at work. 1t made
screen behind which he could make
his dispositions at leisure.

Commands Roads
Of the Enemy

Third. and most important-It
gives observation northward and
northwestward everywhere over the
gradually falling open country to
the valley of the Vesle. One can see
Braisne, and further off the higher
buildings of Fismes, about twelve
miles away. But the essential point
of this advantage of observation is
not that one can see the valley of the
Vesle or the distant towns upon it,
but that one commands quite half
of all the enemy's roads. One has
direct observation over the single
railway line which supplies him and
over great sections of the roads
which lead back into the Vesle val
ley. and which,. throughout this ac-
ton, were packed with his columns
OF munltlonment and troops.
Hill POS at the beginning of this
operation was nearly two miles from
the most advanced Allied posts and
about 1906 feet above them. There
stood between the Allies and the
crest the village of Rozoy, and above
1t the long, perfectly bare open slope
of fields without hedges or woods to
where the summit showed like a fiat
hummock against the sky.
The attack was delivered by
French and British troops, the
French upon the left, if i am not
mistaken, and the British upon the
right. The tactic employed was {.
repetition on a smaller scale of that
which had proved so successful on
July Is. 1t was supported, or rather
led, by large number of the small
tanks, which have proved so success
full q type of instrument; it was
served by very dense barrage, be-
hind which the infantry advanced.

Are Made Futile

CrR DOUGLAS HAIG'S victory
east of Amiens is still grow
~ ing, and it's immediate dimen
siors cannot yet be estimated. But
whatever these may prove to be, the
attack and its success mean three
thugs:
First and most important, they
mean that the initiative in the war,
which was recovered by General
Foch on July Is by the surprise at
tack Of French and American troops
between Chateau Thierry and Sois-
.ons. has been mainta med. All the
talk about an enemy counter often
sive Immediately impending and
threatening to wrest the initiative
from the Allies has been falsitied.
The drain on the enemy's reserves,
consequent upon the necessity of
preventing his defeat of July IS
from turning into final disaster, has
50 weakened him in the north as to
make impossible this second stroke
which he is believed to have planned.
Second, the advance puts in peril
the new German salient Of which
Montdidier is the point. On the
evening Of the first day Haig's
troops had cut the main road and
the light railway running from
Montdidier northward, which we're
the enemy's main lateral communi-
cations in this district, and without
which the whole Montdidier salient
is in danger. AS far as the ground
is concerned, therefore, immediate
interest in the near future lies in
the enemy's difficulty in maintaining
himself in this new salient.
Third, the advance at once in
creases the very cramped area of
mannuvre into which the Allies had
been pushed by the great German
advance up to April 4 last. 1t re-
heves the main railway through
Amiens, which is the prime lateral
communication of all the northern
half of the Allied line, and at once
increases the rapidity and volume
Of the supply available to the Allies.

Americans Upset
German Plan

But on Thursday August, /, came
the second of the great strategic
points secured by the Allies in this
battle. Two simultaneous attacks on
ground which had been exactly
chosen by the Allies Higher Com
mand determined what was to follow.
In the first place, the American
troops made themselves masters of
serlnges and rierges. This opera
ton was very important, because it
took place at the extremity of the
salient, where it was easiest, and
where a sudden disturbance of the
German plans would most seriously
affect their difficult supply problems,
which had already strained their
transport. 1t is clear that if, of
many positions you are holding. one
is furthest from your base and re-
qulres greater length of road up
which to pass stores and munitions
and down which to evacuate wounded
men and empty lorrics, the crushing
in of that position will cause q
greater congestion behind your lines
than would the crushing in of anv
other position with less distance be-
tween it and the railhead.
That was the situation of the
Seringes-Cierges front and its neigh
borhood. The American success at
this point increased Immediately by
an appreciate amount the already
almost intolerable strain upon the
German communications behind the
line.
But blow was simultaneously de-
livercd to the left, which was neces-
sary to complete the result, and it
was the success of this blow which
determined the issue. have men

200, just above Rozoy. 1t lies north

Final Capture
OF Hill EOS

he success was complete, al
though it involved very hard fight
ing. The slope was gradually mas
tered, and apparently some time il.
the early afternoon the Allies stood
upon the height and for the first
time since the battle began, a fort
night ago, they looked down every
where, northward and westward,
over the country within the salient
through which the enemy must re-
tire.
This capture of Hill 2O5 was thus
of capital Importance and, coupled
with the capture Of Seringes, it de-
clded the issue. On the nightfall
of August l the enemy had to de-
termine whether he would try to
maintain his resistance or resign
himself to general retreat. There
was no time for divided counsels nor
tor hesitation, such as had already
cost him so heavy price in the
immediate past. He must either re-
cover the lost height by organizing
an immediate counter attack on a
tremendous scale and with dubious
chances of success or he must every
where fall back to the Vesle, at least,
and even beyond the Vesle-perhaps
even beyond the Aisne. He must. in
especial, give up that high bare
plateau which commanded scissors.
This time his decision was rapidlv
arrived at During all Thursday
night his tired troops were given no
rest, but were marched back as ran
idly as possible behind cover Of rear
guards, which themselves were be-
ginning to fall back before dawn
broke
Contact was not lost with this
movement Allied troops followed it
up closely, and the whole of Friday
and Saturday was filled with the
rapid retirement of the Germans.

Allies Force
Whole Defensive Zone

To understand the German re-
treat from the Marine salient we
must concentrate our attention upon
the events Of Thursday, August |.
That day was exactly fortnight af-
Ter the strategical position in the
West had been completely reversed
by the surprise inflicted upon the
enemy between the Aisne and
chateau Thierry on the morning Of
July IS.
1t will be remembered that the ex-
IRENE left Of the battle line near
S0lssons, which had been in qui-
escence and had been watched by
enemy forces which were inferior
"'n IN numbers and quality, as be-
ing presumably safe from attack,
was Unexpectedly struck at dawn Of
aat day by French and American
troops under command Of Generals
Aangln and Degoutte. Advanc-
ng without artillery preparation
aad with the use of a great number
u tanks, these troops forced the
saole defensive zone and arrived on
