EXPECT NEW BLOW
BY GENERAL FOCH
BELIEVE ALLIES WILL SEEK TO
PREVENT GERMAN STAND ON
HINDENBURG LINE.

Washington. The hour when
General Pershing's army will be
thrown into the battle is rapidly ap-
preaching, in the opinion of many Of
ficers and officials at the War Depart
ment.
Developments indicated to these OBJ
servers that the German withdrawal
is near the point when Marshal Foch
should make use of every available
weapon to prevent the enemy from
making stand in his old position
along the Hindenburg line.
Reports from the front indicated
that the Germans are Fastening their
withdrawal along a wide front before
the French and British armies that
are on their heels. Apparently the
enemy leaders feel that the line is
Strengthened out sufficiently to with
draw to the old well fortified lines
from which they launched their great
drive last March. The fact that the
British have broken across the old
line on the Doua- Cambria front is
regarded as the spur that is impetl-
ing the Germans to rush the last stage
of their withdrawal.
1t is argued that If the enemy at
tempts to hold the Hindenburg line or
such of it as he can, he will have 10
mass reserves to do it. A new at
tack, far to the south and east of the
present battle area would compeI him
also to rush reserves to that front
and it is in such an attack that many
officials believe that General Perish
ing's army will be employed.
Many officers think an attack MAY
be launched there with the object Of
turning the whole German line north
ward and that probably a simultan-
eous attack would be delivered De-
yond Verdun, where the original
American sector lies, to complete this
conception of a wide turning move
ment against the enemy positions in
northern France.
The st. Mihiel salient, where the
German lines thrust forward beyond
Verdun on the west, might offer a
chance for Foch's favorite pincer tao
tics, some officers think. There are
indications that this front is held by
Americans with the exception of the
defenses of Verdun and the lines
southeast of that city. If General
Pershing should strike suddenly to-
ward Metz and meet with any success,
it is thought the enemy might be
forced to evacuate the whole st.
Mihiel bend.

HUN RETIREMENT
REACHED ITS LIMIT.
ATTEMPT TO STOP ALLIED AID.
VANCE GENERALLY EXPECTED
CRUCIAL PERIOD AT HAND.
SPECIALIZING ON GEN. FOCH
He May Try Thanking Operation On
Wide Front To Turn Enemy's New
Line or Hit at Weak Spots-Be-
lieVe Decisive Struggle At Hand.

Washington. With the German
army standing today subs tan TALLY IL
the positions it occupied before last
March Ii, when its greatest offensive
was launched, 1t appears certain to
officials here that the next few days
will see the plans of the opposing
commanders revealed.
The statement in the official Ge.-
man reports is apparently intended
to mean that the retirement had come
to an end and that the Germans ex-
pected to stop the allied advance. In
that event, it was said, the light
forces of the French, British and
American armies will soon reach this
defensive position and subsequent
operations quickly will show how
Marshal Forch proposes to assaH the
problem that baffled the French and
British general stats, the breaking
of this advanced line of defense set
up by the enemy on Belgian AMI
French soil.
1t is evident from reports thai the
allied forces were still feeling their
way forward carefully through the
rear guard screens of machine gun
ners, which still cover many portions
of the enemy's present fighting fronl.
Behind this screen the Germans were
believed to have reoceupied the old
Hindenburg defenses, which proba-
bly, have been repaired and supple
mented
There is a feeling among some CT
ficials that the enemy is very likely
to signalize his intention to stand fast
by striking back hard at the adVanc-
ing French and British forces, or even
by an attack at some other point
designated to relieve pressure rather
than to achieve any decisive result
in the way of capturing towns.
On the allied side it remains to be
seen whether Marshal Foch plans a
fianking operation on wide front 10
turn the enemy out of his new lines
and keep him moving back, or will
continue to hit at weak spots all
along the front. Opinion here is that
the larger enterprise is the most
probable, since virtually the entire
American army is available as fresh,
hard-hitting force with which to de-
liver coup. There is no doubt That
many officers here regard the day i'm
mediately ahead as probably the cru
cial period of the whole battle OF 1918.

The enemy. the critics show, will
have before Cambria a series of natur-

momentarily The general assump-
ton is that the German stand will be
made along the line of the Canal du

of Inchy-En-Artois and from Moeuvres
to Hermies.
There is every sign of extreme dis
organization among the enemy q
forces at vulnerable points in his line.

cuously collected and 80 battalions of
