London, Oct i7-lf the war "a brought to a quick conclusion il will be through political and moral fact brs and not the m.litary, was the opinion expressed in competent cir . cles today The German position on the western front it was pointed out cannot be termed perllous, although at certain points every changing from may render some small positions dau-- erous at times.
 This view. which has been told by many experts for some time, has been
 strengthened by the German lotreaJ to the Hunding line, winch is con
 sidered one of the most successful
 retreats or the war from the enemy
 viewpoint With the Americans and
 French pushing hard on this front, the Germans douutless were forced to
 retreat faster than they had plan ned, but they lost comparatively few prisoners and guns for such l large operation. It was pointed out that the startling transformation of the N hole military situation in the last few weeks mght lead 10 the impression that the German armies were forced with uIs- aster and on the point of collapse, Dut it was stated that there was nothing in the wesern situation to iusity such d view. lt is not expected that the en- emy will be able 10 hold the IlWndinc line long This line runs from south iof st Quentin along the Serre 70 where the river turns abruptly south west, thence across country to the Aisne and along the north bank of the Aisne to the Argonne The dent the allies are makig in the line south of the Sensee makes this line un- 1enable
 The Germans are fighting well inl medately south Of the Sensee. for the dual purpose of holding up as lone as possible the allied advance toward the important city of Vaienciennes, and to keep the allies from further driN ing in a salient that would make thc Hunding line impossible for the enemy.
