PARIS. July 25.-Germany's des-
peration In ruthlessly sacrificing man
power. time and material within the
Rheims-Soissons salient is because
OF four reasons: First, the allies Of
fenslve dlsrupts Ludendorff's care
fully laid summer campaign plans;
second. General Foch is using time
vitality important to the Germans;
third. German milltarists SO encour-
aged the Germans with promises Of
capturing Paris that they. dare not
admit by retreating that their chance
IL gone. and fourth. Ludendorff has
accumulated vast quantities OF mate
rial within the salient for future OPP
erations which he is trying to save by
using fresh divisions. Meanwhile
the French. Americans and British
are methodicaily pushing on meter by
meter while Ludendorff is using the
reserves which he had planned for
other sectors.
