Confidence In
a.o Ultimate
Outconl'
BY J. w. T. MASON.

Written for The United Press.)
NEW YORK, April 8.-Gen. Foch's
confidence in the ultimate outcome
of the combat in western France
should not be interpreted as neces-
sarily meaning an early assumption
of the offensive by the allies. There
| is still room for much defensive en-
ticement Of von. Hindenburg into fur
ther slaughter Of his troops.
1t is becoming increasingly evident
that General Foch plans to let Won
Hindenburg wear himself out in this
manner before attempting even a
large scale counter Local op-
erations to protect the Amiens-Par
railway may compel General Foch to
drive forward for short distances, but
this is all that can reasonably be ex-
pected for the time being.
William Philip Simm's dispatch to
the United Press from British head
quarters announcing that the Ger
mans are now within one and one-half
miles of the Paris-Amiens railway,
means that traffic along this line is
under fire from the German artillery.
The Germans will have to be pushed
back from their present position be-
fore safety of transportation on the
Paris-Amiens line can be assured.
This line which connects Calais
with Paris, is the most famous in
France and its reverence by Won Hin
much straightforward
denburg would undoubtedly cause
much shortsighted rejoicing in Ger
many.
In face of this problem, General
Foch's optimistic outlook is encourag-
ing.
