ARABS WHIP TURKS TO STANDS7|LL
Entire Force Annihila ated, Three Hundred
Being Captured and Four Hundred of
Enemy Being Wiped Out.

General Pershing is going to strike oy
concentrating German reserves both
near Metz and in southern AlSace near
the Swiss border.
Reports of large masses of German
soldiers arriving at these centers have
become too persistent to be ignored.
Metz and southern Alsace are about
$50 miles apart by rail. Germans never
divide their troops by so large dis.
tance as this unless there is the most
imperative reason for 1t. Separation
of reserves against a resolute enemy
is always a dangerous policy. The
only reason why Won Hindenburg has
divided his forces is because his es-
pionage system has been unable to
ferret out the designs Of the Ameri-
can chief command General Pershing
has got Marshal Won Hindenburg
guessing and that Is always the flrst
score in the game If Won linden
burg were contemplating major Of
fensive at this time against the Amerl-
cans he would under no circumstances
separate his reserve OF man power IN
to Independent units. Instead of sep
aration he would concentrate at CIV
en- sector and would launch his blow
with all the force at his command.
The division of the German reserves
between Metz and southern Alsace,
therefore suggests not only that Won
Hindenburg has been puzzled by Cen
eral Pershing's preliminary strategy.
but also that the German general stan
is content for the present to rest Oh
the defensive against the fast growing
American strength along the Alsace-
Lorraine border.
Further uneasiness in German mill
tary circles over the possibilities or
the coming American offensive Is
shown by reports that Won Hindenburg
and Ludendorff are now making tneir
Headquarters along the Rhine. This
undoubtedly means that Germany Is
going to take no chances by using sec
ond rate commanders against the
Americans. The two military dictators
of Germany are assuming full control
themselves of Germany's defense
afainst the United States. They may
be fooling the German people with
tales OF contempt for the American
army but they are not fooling them
selves.

"The bill does not contemplate in

this possibility is most easily met by

McAdoo explained that the main pur
