The battle of Ypres which is the real

amt series OF coElbats, is in reality a
Stla.esie s.iGgg.e between Hindenburg

Not only will the total German
slaughter be very much greater than the
allies, but also the German front will
have been extended to a useless dis

is gigantic struggle on the part Of
Foch to save his reserves and save the
channel ports, and on the part of Hin.

gain the channel ports.
Whether in the end Foch will consider
it better to lose the ports rather than
lose his reserves, cannot be at present
known. The argument in favor Of this
procedure, is based on the probability
that it will require more men than Ger.
