that they again have erred in their judg ment of the strength and endurance of the entente allied fighting forces.
 They are being defeated not only at points chosen for attacks by Marshal Foch and his generals, but on ground selected by themselves for counter at tacks.
 Their reaction all along the Cham pagne front thus far has been productive of only one result relatively favorable to them, in the region of the Grand d-Pre gap. which they have been able to keep open up to the present, although the gap Is under the heavy fire of the French guns
 The latest American advance north ward to the east of the Argonne forest has practically neutralized that result. The Grand-Pre gap is virtually closed, and the only real lines of conimuniea- ton for the enemy forces operating in Champagne are northward by Vouziers and Rethe, and most of these lines over considerable distances are being shelled by the French artillery.
 Unless by a supreme effort and uul- izing available reserves the Germans are able still to make 8 stand on the Sis some line north of the Aisne. their elas- tic retirement may turn suddenly into general retreat.

 PLEA FOR AID REFUSED
 Because of the shortage of physicians in Alabama, it is very probable the request of Pensacola, Fla, authorities for four physicians from Montgomery to assist local doctors will not be heed- ed. Health authOrltleS W eQneSday Glu not attempt to minimize the serious sit- uation in the state, and the release of physicians for work in Florida probably would handicap authorities in handling the cases as they develop in Montgomery.
