The Germans, it was indicated by official and staff
dispatches today may make stronger resistance along the
Vesle line than had been expected.
Although the allies have established bridgeheads at
Fismes Bazoches and Jonchery, and moving inward
from the flanks north of that ne the French office
reported that elsewhere strong resistance has been
countered above the river At the time dispatches
1om staff correspondents stated boche artillery has
opened the most violent fire in the last two days.
The most important geographical objective now i'm
medatey before the allies is the town Of Vaily on the
bank of the Asne nine miles east and north of Sossons
1t about two miles east of the junction of the Vese and
Asne and four miles north of the Vese 1t is the center

FOCH MAY
FORM new POCKET
BY FLANK ATTACKS
Tactics OF Allied Commander
In CIliet Are Now Plainly
Apparent To Experts
BY ], W. T, Mason
Omitted Press war EXPERT

New York, Aug. 5.-AnOther deadly
pocket is being formed by General Foeh
around the German positions on the
Vesle. The sides of the wedge are be.
ing forced nogthward from Scissors to-
ward the Chemin-des- Danes and from
Rheims toward Berry-au-Bae, while the
Germans on the Vesle between Scissors
and Rheims are gradually being lctt in
the hollow.
General Foch S present purpose is to
move his east and west flanks north
ward faster than his center. BY this
vancouver a condition similar to that
which existed when the Germans were
on the Marine will again threaten Won
Hindenburg. The longer Won linden
burg elings to the Vesle the more time
will be given to General Foch to drive
his flanks northward, thus deepening
the new Vesle salient
Won Hindenburg can overcome this
strategy only by Withdrawing from the
Vesle or by throwing an immense mum
Der of reserves into defensive positions
north of Soissons and Rheims. If he
thus uses up his reserves for defensive
fighting, Won Hindenburp win he play
ing General Foch's game. Every Ger
man reserve unit thrown into the pres
ent fighting weakens the force with
which the kaiser must defend German
territory against America s Forthcoming
offensive.
The possible danger to the Germans
in the present trap is greater than ex-
listed at thu Marne. If General Foch can
move his flanks northward for suffi-
cient distance before Won Hindenburg
starts to retreat from the Vesle, the al
lies will begin to close in behind the
Aisne river, five to ten miles north of
the Vesle and, in general, parallel to it,
When the Germans then commence to
retire. disastrous liight across the
Aisne under fire of the allies artillery
might well be the best they can EXPECT.
The Aisne is now in high flood That
means serious difficulties in getting
heavy artillery across. A days delay
may thus turn out to be fatal to Won

New York, Aug. 5.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Following the weekend military
developments it was regarded ~ pos
sible the stock market might show
some signs of life at the beginning of
the new week. Those who looked for ac-
tion today were disappointed however,
until the last hour when a belated up
ward movement set in. Trading in the
first hour was held down to less than
$4,000 shares and in the second hour
less than 10000 shares. There was
strength in such speeialties as Ameri-
