in their disposition which had to be made
to meet Foch's surprise attack. They
had, while holding off the Allied attacks
to bring up fresh reserves to the threat
ened flank to relieve exhausted troops
and thin out their divisions where they
had been massed for an attack which
can no longer he carried out.
All of this means much marching
to and fro and much crowding or
roads exposed to Allied artillery fire
and bombing attacks when the roads
are wanted for long columns Of lor.
ries bringing up food. ammunition arsi
stores, but an experienced staff car
deal very rapidly even with such prob.
lem as this, and the slowing down oi
the Allied advance during the last few
days has probably enabled the enemy
to do much to restore order. For these
reasons 1t does not seem to me to bs
wise at present to build too much or
the enemy's difficulties, nor to discount
a retreat which may not, after all
mature. -. ... Zip. .
If the enemy comes to the conclusion
that to save his face he must stay more
or less where he now is, we should be
able to guarantee him a very ureom.
Portable time, becaus although, as
have said, 1t Is quite possible for de.
termined men to remain in an awkward
salient and to keep them supplied with
their bare needs, yet the strain upon
them is very great and the moral effect
Of that strain is bound to tell before
very long.
These considerations may induce the
enemy to retire, and 1t is one Of the
advantages of his position that he can
when he is in trouble fall back for
considerable distances without affecting
materially his general position on the
whole front. For. with the one excep
ton Of the Belgian coast. there is moth.
ing within thirty or forty miles of his
side of No Mans Land which is really
Of vital Importance to him. We Allies
on the other hand, for obvious reasons
cannot do the same. at any rate upon
the northern part Of our line. .Ht
On the whole. however. it seems tc
me probable that the enemy will no,
retreat yard further than he is forced
to by attack, at least until he has q
new Hindenburg line ready to receive
his troops or has gained elsewhere some
success which would cover up the eff.
feet Of the abandonment Of ground re.
Gently won at great cost, or until he
is obliged by another failure to econo.
mize in men and reduce the length oi
his front.
