ALLIES BRINGING UP
SUPPLIES IN LULL
Gen. Foch Preparing for An
other Big Attack.
Special Desputch TO Tnr suS.

WARRINGTON. July 26.--Although
there are indications tonight that the
allied and American offensive In the
Marine sector has been largely confined
to artillery fire. this temporary lull In
the fighting does not mean that the
initiative has been lost.
Military experts here tonight made
this point clear with respect to the
situation.
The Allies and the Americans retain
the offensive and can force the fighting
again whenever they are ready.
The Germans are noe in a position
to attack with any prospect OF success
and simply must await the next blows
while deciding whether to withstand fur
Their pounding or retreat before the full
weight of the attacks are felt.
The lull is due TO the fact that hu-
man endurance Is not unlimited and n
favorable opportunity doubtless has
presented itself for Gen. Foch to give
his victorious troops well earned rest
before continuing to punish the enemy.
The lull will be utilized to bring up
ammunition and supplies, reft fighting
units and organize generally the at
lacking forces. One officer said II was
like hating on a trip with a racing
automobile to oil UP the parts. tighten
loose bolts and get the machine ready
to start up again.
The enemy will. Of course. utilize the
period OF rest to strengthen his position
as best he can. but military men point
out that the period OF respite will benefit
the Germans much less than the Allies
and the Americans under the present
circumstances.
Gen. Foch, military experts say, can
give the Germans one days rest or ten
as he sees At. Whenever he is ready
to strike again the Germans must Sc-
cept his terms OF battle and resume the
fight on the defensive in the same stub
born manner which has characterized the
latest fighting 1t may be that the
Germans will De given only a few hours
rest. 1t is certain that the Allies and
thu Americans will suit their own needs
and not those OF the enemy.
The Germans on the other hand are vir-
tually obliged to permit their enemies TO
decree when and how the fighting will be
resumed It is not regarded here as
sound strategy for the Germans 20 at

AS GERMANS DELAY
Minor Activities May POrtend
Opening of Big Of

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SuS from tho

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE.
July 26.-While the Germans still delay
their great attack on the British front
there has been much minor activity in
the last two days, especially in the
Fletre- Meteren area. 1t is not possible
to say that this activity portends an inn
mediate opening OF an important often
sive. but certainly the delay has been
and continues to be to our advantage.
for 1t enables US to complete our de-
fences. The recen, rains have not i'm
proved the ground for the purposes OF
an advance
In their great advance last March
the Germans crossed the Avre. north
of Montd!dier. and the threat to Amiens
was acute. Since then around Villers-
Bretonneux and still further TO the
north, in the Morlancourt area, We have
held the enemy and steadily edged him
further and further back from Amiens,
but he still held the bulge to the south.
above Montdidier and west OF the Avre.
The object of the recent Montdidier
operation was to reduce this bulge.
The plan of the attack was extremely
pretty. To batter the whole face of the
bulge from the junction OF the Avre and
the Luce to near Cantigny would have
necessitated a grand attack on twelve
mile front. but the French commander
thought 1t would serve equally well II
he drove a wedge deeply into the centre
of the front of the bulge. separating the
Germans west of the Avre on the north
from those on the south, leaving the
former in an uncomfortable position.
To make this sudden deep penetration
Of the enemy front he thought tanks
would be useful, so he obtained some
from the British. The actual attack
was made on a front two miles east OF
the village OF Thory. through which
troops on the right and left made dem
onstrations So successful was II that
on the narrow front the advance made
was three miles. and the wedge between
the northern and southern halves of the
German bulge il complete.
1t was announced to-day that French
troops have occupied the wood GOO yards
west of the village of Morisel, the fact
being, as the French commander had
calculated, the Germans have been COM
PEELED to withdraw from all the north
ern half Of that bulge, clear OF the high
ground back TO the valley of the Avre,
and the threat to Amiens has been made
that much more remote.

ten days belong to the 1919 class. That
shows they are making a heavy drain on

Besides that, the 1920 class is to be

geo, On the other hand, the French, all
though they. like the Germans, are nat
urally tired. are being reinforced daily
by thousands OF Americans, who are
fresh and already have shown that they
possess fine fighting qualities.
Gen. Foch and his aids have proved
that they can anticipate the enemy's
intentions and can make preparations
well beforehand for assuming the Of
fensive themselves. For example, all
the local attacks on the east side of the
forest OF Villers Cotterets at the end
OF June and the beginning of July had
definite future object In view. 1t was
because OF them that when Gen. Man

were able to start operations on the

instead of having to cross first the
ravines between them and the forest.
