Paris Faces Grave Danger,
But ''They Shall Not Pass"
Remains French Hope Yet
Ablest Generalship Must Be Employed to Stop
Hun-Further Retreat of Allies Likely,
While Germans Pay Enormous Price for
all Ground Gained.

Of the triangle. they have attacked be-
tween Coucy-le-Chateau and Noyon,
apparently with the intention Of a
fank attack on the French IN Picardy.
To succeed, this German strategy
requires Won Hindenburg to keep
up his hammering blows incessant-
ly. II he stops for minutes he
puts his line In danger of a flank
attack by the French on either his
right or his left wing.
Gen. Foch's chief strategy has
been to give up ground and save
lives. while that of the Germans
has been just the opposite. To the
casual observer 1t would seem
that the allies efforts should be
devoted to stemmlng the German
rush on Paris at all costs. AS o
matter of fact, the foregoing indi-
Gates that far better strategy is to
fall back to the new line before
Paris, consolidate the Picardy and
Champagne fronts, and make q Anal
stand for victory.
VIII Consolidate.
Therefore a further retreat of the
allied armies must be looked upon
ds Dul IL must bC IdhCI
into consideration that the Ger
mans gain ground by fighting every
foot of the way and suffering
with the number of men engaged. 1t
will be found when the figures are
received that the Teutonic losses
will be every bit as heavy as they
were during the March drive.
The allies. on the other hand, will
lose heavily in munitions and sup
plies, but will conserve their man
power
1t is likely that the German plan
Contemplates the union of the forces
of Won Below. Won Hutier and Won
Boehm. who are in command in the
Champagne. with those of Won Der
MarwitZ. Won Quasi and Won Arnim,
in Picardy and Flanders, for a great
joint drive at Paris and the chan
mel ports.
Therein lies the greatest danger for
the French and British. II the Ger
mans succeed in breaking through
either on the Somme or on the Marne,
1t will take another Battle of the
Marne to turn the tide.
Unitey to Aid Allies.
The probability that the drive to
the Marne is merely preparatory to a
greater offensive in Picardy is still
a likely one. II this turns out to be
the German plan, it will prevent
General FOCh from sending rein
forcements TO Champagne from the
Amiens front. If the German drive
assumes such proportions that this
becomes necessary We may look for
an immediate resumption Of the ad-
vance in Picardy.
One fact that should be kept in
mind is that the allies can far better
afford to give ground along the
Marne, where miles of territory Is
behind them. than they could on the
Somme, with only the sea to fall back
upon. This Is an important consid-
GRAFTON in the allied councils OF war.
The unity of command that has been
achieved by the allies since the be-
ginning of the March drive will have
its effect in the present offensive. The
Picardy drive was not appreciably
checked until the eighth day of the
offensive. Already. however. the Ger
mans have been stopped at both ends
OF the line on the Aisne, while in the
center the French apparently plan
TO make a stand on the Marine.

Paris is facing the gravest dan
ger of capture by the Germans II
has been In since their sweep to
the Marne in 1914.
As the Hindenburg offensive con-
tinues, 1t becomes more and more
evident that the German strategy
Is bent on reaching the French cap
ital.
1t is extremely unlikely that the
Huns can reach their objective.
Even il the advance brings the Ger
man hordes to the very outskirts
of the city. the allies have sufficient
reserves Of three armies-French.
British and American-to hold the
foe as they did on the Somme. The
defenses OF Paris are the strongest
in France.
They shall not pass"
But 1t will require all the able
generalship OF the allied high COM
mand to stem the German onrush
before it becomes a real menace to
the city.
Two Great Wedges.
The German strategy is now plain.
1t seeks to drive a wedge into the
allied line in the Champagne equal
in extent to that great salient
driven into it in Picardy. To make
this great triangular dent. the Ger
mans have devoted their heaviest at
tacks to the center of the line and
to the region about Scissors.
Having reached Marne if they can
extend their advance southwark and
westward as far as the city of
AeauN. twenty-five miles from
Paris. the advance will equal that
in Picardy-perhaps exceed it a
little.
Thus two great wedges will be
sledge-hammered into the French line
the familiar pincer strategy of Gen.
Mackensen that won his many victor
les in Galicia and Russia.
Between these two wedges would
lie great equilateral triangle of ter
ritory held by the allies. each side
about 80 miles long. Its western side
would reach from MOntididier to
MeauX; its northern from Montdidier
to Coucy-le-Chsteau, just north of
Soissons. and its eastern from Coucy
to Meaux.
The triangle would include in its
area the big railway centers of Com
piegne, known as the gate of Paris, {"
and ViIlers- Cotterets.
Faced by German armies on two
sides of this triangle, the French
would be forced back to its western
base in order to escape being trap
ped and slaughtered. Their line would
then extend from Montdidier to Com
piegne, to Villers-C Cotterets, and
thence to Meaux.
Verdun Railway Threatene
This great retreat would place the
allies on an excellent line of defense
before PaTis-on the ground which
saw the furious fighting of the Battle
of the Marine in 1914.
To rectify the front toward the east
the allies would be compelled to with
draw to the Morne on a line extending
from MeauX to Chalons.
This line would protect the Paris
Verdun railway. The German STRAIT
egy is aimed at cutting this line to
prevent Foch from bringing up his
reserves and supplies.
In prosecuting this plan the Ger
mans have succeeded 50 far in cap
turing Scissors and reaching the
Marne at a point southeast OF the
city, To drive in the northern wing
