Military Comment
By William L. Mcpherson

Copyright, 1918, By The Tribune 4
CINCE July s Marshal Foch has
y been demonstrating the enor-
NOUS advantages inherent in an
intelligent offensive. Possession Of
the offensive is worth many divis-
ions. 1t restores inferior forces TO
an equality, makes equal forces SUI
perior and gives superior forces a
crushing preponderance.
Nathan B. Forres-, the illustrious
Confederate cavalry commander,
r'''ra0e''Nl-- :uMmed up military
strategy when he said that it con-
sisted in "gittin' thar fustest with
the mostest men," Only a general
operating on the offensive can get
there nrsl with the most men. That
is his prerogativc. And in modern
warfare he gets there first also with
the heaviest artillery. the largest
number Of tanks and the completest
organization for taking advantage
of an initial success.
Foch, having the offensive, is able
TO attack where he likes, preferably
where he can take the enemy by
surprise and az the greatest disad.
vantage. If he is held up at one
point temporarily he can shift his
blow to another point. The Ger
mans, being pinned down to the de-
tensive, cannot concentrate suffi-
GENTLY anywhere to attain superior
ity. 1t is painful and costly pre-
dicament. The Allies know that
from their own bitter experiences
between March 21 and July 18.
Yesterday Foch shifted his attack
to the region between the Disc River
and Scissors. The French advanced
q mile and third on a nine mile
front and took 1900 prisoners. Most
Of the territory retaken had been
evacuated in June last, after the
fourth Ludendorff drive, west of the
Disc, into the Matz River Valley.
German progress on the west bank
of the river. as far as Ribccourt,
exposed the left flank Of the posi-
tions which the French then held in
the Forest of Ourscamp, running up
in narrow salient into the big bend
of the Disc just below Noyon These
had to be abandoned, and their aban-
donment compelled readjustment
of the French line east from the Disc
to the neighborhood of Fontenoy.
Foch has all along intended to re-
cover the Forest Of Ourscamps-yet
without attacking it directly Gen
eral Humbert's army has been work.

Allies Air Masters
On Italian Front

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS,
Aug. 10 Canadian Press) Two Aus
trian documents captured on the Aus
tro-1talian battlefront show the ex-
traordinary mastery the Entente Allies
have obtained over the enemy in aerial
warfare. The first enjoins greater pro
lection for the ammunition dumps and
emplacements against aerial obscrva-
tion by more efficient camauhaging and
less military order. The second docu
mcnt, which is from a colonel com
manding an artillery unit seeks to OK
plain the impossiblity of systematic
effective destruction of the Entente
Allied artillery. This indicates that
the Allied guns. as we'll as aerial OBJ
servation, are superior.
The Austrian officer complains of the
inferiority of his batteries in number
and power, and says the restriction in
the supply of ammunition has rendered
it impossible to comply with the in
fantry's request for better artillery
protection.

French in Position
To Wipe Out Guns
Shelling Soissons

PARIS, Aug. From the positions
captured by tav French last night
north of the f,isne River the Allies
now threaten the German batteries of
big guns at Chaviyny and Juvigny,
north Of scissors. These guns have
been able to command the city Of
SCISSORS and keep the whole region
near that place under fire. 1t is pos
sible that the onemy will be forced to
abandon these positions, thus freeing
SCISSORS from heavy bombardment.
Another great advantage resulting
from the French success is the occu-
patton Of the edge Of Audignicourt ra-
vine and the plateau west of Nampcel.
At these points the Allies have excel
lent positions for observation over the
rear Of the enemy's lines.

pressure on the other side of the
forest was desirable; so the French
drove north from Tracy-le- Val tow
ard Carlepont and along the whole
line southeast from Tracy-le- Val to
Fontenoy.
One of the important gains in this
drive was the capture of the plateau
west Of Nampcel, which overlooks
the valley Of the Disc eastward of
Noyon. Yesterdays operation thus
links up with the drive toward
Noyon from the southwest, and with
Foch's general purpose to break the
present German line, with it's anchor
points at Chaulnes, Roye, Lassigny
and Noyon.
While they We're losing ground
east of the Disc the Germans were
heavily counter attacking the British
west Of Chaulnes. They made a lit
tie progress, but were soon driven
back with heavy losses. The Bray
Chaulnes- Roye- -Lassigny line cannot
be held much longer The Paris
night communique said that the
French were now in the outskirts
of Lassigny. They have also got en-
tirely clear of the great obstruction
of Thiescourt Wood, southeast of
Lassigny, which had held them up
for nearly a week. Lassigny is no
longer defensible except at an exor-
bitant cost to the Germans.
Roye, too, is on the point of fall
ing Unofficial London dispatches
last night reported the capture by
the British of the Roye railroad sta
tion,. which lies about half q mile
north of the city. The French are
very close to the southwestern sub
urbs. German counter attacks on
this front have been of no avail The
evacuation Of Roye cannot be de-
layed much longer.
In the LyS Valley salient the Ger
mans are also steadily retiring. The
British entered Merville yesterday.
They advanced due east on front
of nearly six miles. In the depths
OF this pocket the Germans have
now left only the thin screen of a
defensive line. AS has been said
before in this comment, the Lys Val
ley salient is only hollow Shell.
The Germans have cleared their
heavy gans and material out of it
and are only awaiting the signal to
decamp. This salient has become a
liability which ordinary prudence
compels them to liquidate. 1t is only
melancholy memorial of an enter
prise which promised great things,
but whose promise was nipped by
the bloody defeat of Won Arnim's
forces southwest of Ypres on April
20 last.

LONDON (NIGHT. - The enemy
this morning strongly attacked on a

succeeded in penetrating our line at
two POINTS, but was immediately
driven out by our counter attack and

siderable progress has been made on

the line of road running through
Merville from Paradis to Les Pures-

The old Hindenburg line crossed the
river mere on an angle. so that COM
pared with the present line, which here
runs nearly north and south, the di
rection Of the ground south of the
Scarpe is deeper than that north Of the

line north Of the Scarpe than south
Of it. British patrols operating north
of the river have met with stiff op-
position. but south of the river patrols
have managed to penetrate for some
distance.

mans also are giving way in parts Of

There are no signs of further counter
attacks at this time. Some forty di
visions have been identified as having
been engaged in the recent operations.
OF these twenty-seven have been used
against the British, and many of them
are Believed to have been exhausted.

900 remounts recently received by one

The German troops which have been

General Mangin's whole objective

we have succeeded in debouching
from the Thiescourt Wood. On our
right we have conquered Pimprez

skirts of Dreslincourt.
To the north of the Aisne, COM

The attack was over a front of about
fifteen kilometres from south of
