An American staff OFFICER commented
on the possibilities in this direction
today as follows:
The strategy in this case would be
that Haigs advance would expose the
right wing of the German army. And
this situation, in any army, is ex-
tremeiy dangerous. for 1t allows the
enemy the prospect Of a flank attack.
while the Picardy offensive has not
yet reached the point where it's obiec-
tivee may be clearly defined. there h
nevertheless comment an to the next
move OF Marshal Foch That he now
has the initiative is unauestinned and
his recent performances Indicate he
intends to keep IL.

attack at some point between the
Franco British and American forces to
the north and the Franco American
forces to the south, the latter being
the army that reduced the Scissors
Rheims salient. But this move, as a
matter of course. depends entirely upon
the outcome of the present advance. At
all events. so military men here be-

From a military standpoint. Ger
