axe No Prisoners

LONDON, March 21.-German officers
operating in Finland and the Ukraine
have ordered the soldiers to take no
prisoners, but to hang all Red Guards,
as they are only bandits, Germans
newspapers report Georg Ledebour, an
Independent Socialist leader, as declar-
ing in the Reichstag, according to an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Am

"On the one hand we make peace
with the Bolshcviki, and on the other

Allied Strategy That
OF General Foch

The strategy of the next few DAYS
on the Allied side will be the strategy
of General Foch, believed to be the
ablest strategist on the Allied side.
English newspapers at hand now make
1t perfectly plain that he dominates the
Versailles Council. Even the chief of
the British Imperial Staff who succeed
ed General Robertson, and who advises
the British Cabinet, appears to have
been chosen with a view to cooperating
with General Foch.
General Wilson, formerly associated
with Foch in the Allied War Council
when first created, is close friend of
the French leader.
In General Foch the Allies have as
near a generalissimo as they are ever
likely to get. On him will fall the duty
of meeting whatever great emergency
may come in the next few days. Re-
serves are at the disposal of the Allied
War Council. And reserves and Their
use will decide whether the breaches
Germany must inevitably make in the
Allied line shall be healed.

War S First Real
General Offensive

All of these previous offensives just
mentioned have been practically local
offensives when compared with what
appears to be going on now. which is
the first general offensive undertaken
by either side as general otfensives are
now conceived. To make general Of
fcnsvc has been the dream of the
strategists of both sides since it has
been demonstrated that 81 local or linn
tied offensive is almost invariably sue
ccssful.
The reasoning ran thus: BY massing
enough men and guns it has been
proved that an irresistible attack can
be got under way. A breach five or
ten miles longer in the enemys position
can be effected. But reserves flow in
behind and close the breach The ends
of the line are readily tied together
and the offensive is stopped. Now, if
guns could be massed, 80 the reasoning
goes on, upon ffty-mile front as
thckly as they have been in drives

heory of Attack
Is Put to the est

whether she has enough resources to
90 over fifty miles what has hitherto
only Deen done on front of five or
zen miles remains to be seen Wheth-
or long breach effected cannot be
nealed, as the advocates of huge artil-
iiery preparation think, is yet to be
learned
whether huge drive on such an ex
tended front can carry through and
follow up its advantage any better than
have the more limited offensves of the
past Will perhaps be discovered as the
present German drive develops. What
is going on is the biggest effort to
make the offensive successful under
conditions of trench warfare that has
ever been undertaken. 1t is the big
gest EFFORT that Germany will ever be
capable of making. 1t is win now or
never with her
If this drive does no more than to
Lorce the Allies back to a new line of
defence the next big effort to deyelon
a successful offensive will be made b v
the Allies. with the lessons of the pres
ent drive before them, and with the re-
sources OF this country massed against
the foe.
For this general offensive no doubt
general defensive has been worked
out: 1t has been in the minds of the
Allies just as much as in the minds of
the Germans. The Allied War Council
sprang from the perception tina, the
next move to be made, whether nv Ger
many or by the powers lighting her,
must be general move. The limited
offensive to be left to a single nation
and single commander had served its
purpose and passed.

word from the battle line. The Off
Gals had little to tell them. The War
Department and State Department
were without information except such
as was already appearing in the press.
Smelling of Paris by
Land Called Impossible
Experts in the Ordnance Bureau
specialized over the story of the bonn
bardment of Paris, one of the aston
ishing developments of the day, re-
jecting it as impossible, at least in
the terms in which it appeared. No
10-inch gun would shoot sixty miles.
And if the Germans had broken
through no 1O-inch gun could have
been hauled in the time elapsing the
forty miles that would have brought
it within effective range. In day
like this when anxiety prevails there
is readiness to believe that the Ger
mans are supermen, but credulity was
unequal to the story of the lombard
ment' of Paris otherwise than from
the air.
1t is generally felt here that it will
be days before the present battle will
develop sufficiently SO that any intelli-
gent appraisement can be made of the
situation. 1t was expected that when
the German drive which has been so
long promised got under way it would
penetrate the Allied line, perhaps even
throw the Allied troops back from their
positions for a considerable distance.
If there is any one thing this war
has demonstrated it is the entire feast
bility of driving the opposing forces
out of their trenches and thrusting
them back for several miles.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March
