SEVERAL GERMAN VIEWS
on RECENT SUCCE

on RECENT SUCCESSES
AMSTERDAM. August 1.-THE An
slo-French successes are attributed to
the surprise attacks and the pressure
of c thick fog over the battle field. &C
cordlnS to a Berlin telegram received
news agency.
"Notwithstan dinE tho exceedingly
, favorable ground for THO movement OF
great masses of troops and the opera
tons OF tanks, the initial success OF
the Anglo-Frcnch armies under Field
Marshal Haig have not surpassed the
limits which usually result from a
first days offensive" the agency de-
clares. "A certain loss in guns and
prisoners in such circumstances is un-
avoidable. but the enemy has not
reached any OF his strategic goals.
His gain OF ground is the less i'm
portant. because 1t comprises no con-
solidated system of defense, but was
maneuvering ground. where the fight
ing which started March 81. has not
yet come to a conclusion.
Another semiomcial utterance tele-
| graphed from Berlin says Field Mar
shall Haig undertook the tack 10
restore the badly furnished military
prestige OF Great Britain. and asserts
that, 'as usual" the brunt OF the
battle was not borne by the English
but by Canadians and Australians.
An extremely dense fog the morn
| Ing OF the Sth favored the enemy at
tack" the statement says: The fog
cloud SO denscly enveloped the Anglo
French tank squadrons which pushe d

German antitank IRE. and partly pene-

| WASHINGTON. August 11.-Some
thing more than optimism Is manifest
tonight at the War Department..
l. The smashing successes of BRITISH
and Franco american forces in the Pi.
cardy region. together with the fall
of Chaulnes. the important railroad
center. brought citation TO staff Of
| ficers. Not only Is the important rail-
road between Chaulnes and NIontdidier
in possession of the allies. but they

minatinE at Chaulnes. which the Ger
mans constructed last spring This
means the eventual loss to the enemy
of another supply line. and other as
surance that the menace 10 Amtens is
ended.
From n military standpoint. German
arms face more precarious position
with each day OF the advance. In the
ability of the British to continue IL cir
attacks rests the possibility of rolling
back that part OF the German amy
that now extends from the sea to the
present fighting area. Its retreat would
mean Il lessening pressure on the chan
mel ports and a consequent increase
in mobility for the British. An Amer
lean staff officer commented on the pos
sibilities in this direction to-day as
follows:
The strategy in this case would be
that Haig's advance would expose tho
right wing OF the German army. And
this situation, in any army, is extreme.
l. dangerous, for it allows the enemy
tho prospect of flank attack"
While the Picardy offensive has not
yet reached the point where its objec-
tives may be clearly defined. there is
nevertheless comment as to the next
move of Marshal Fcch. That he now
has the initiative is unQuestioned. and
his recent performances indicate he in
tends TO keep 1t.
