Gen. FOCH READY
No Chance Now of Hindenburg
Catching Him Unawares.
Is Prepared To Widen Front
Before Using Reserves.
BY J. W. T. MASON.

New York, June 29.-No new Of
fensive with which Won Hindenburg
may seek to satisfy his blood mania
can now take General Foch unawares.
There is area. however, where General
Fech may be prepared to see the allied
front widened. rather than utilize his
reserves, for the defense Of the line as
now existing.
This is the sector east of Rheims.
The long salient which Hindenburg
created when he pushed southwark to
the Marine separates the French front
east of Rheims from direct touch with
the rest of the western battle line.
Hindenburg is able to use his own re-
serves for sudden operations between
Rheims and Verdun. because he Is on
the inside of the circle.
General Foch's reserves, however.
are on the outside and can get to the
Rheims-Verdun area only by making
a long journey around the Marine sa-

To guarantee the Rheims-verdun
front gainst danger of a sudden Ger
man blow. General Foch would have
to- move his reserves into that sector.
But. If this were done. the defenses of
Paris and the channel ports would be
weakened. Won HinGeuburz might
Paris with General Foch's reserves far
awav. on the eastern side of Marue
salient.
It is not probable that General Foch
will risk being caught in such a trap.
For this reason, the Rheims-Verdun
line may prove a tempting bait for
Won Hindenburg- The American sec
tor along the Lorraine front is near
by. Won Hindenburg may reason that
General Foch would have to draw
upon the Americans to defend the
Rheims-Verdun front. thus interfer-
ing with the allies plans to preserve
Pershfng's army as far as possible for
I its forthcoming ma jor offensive.
But General Foch has demonstrated
that he is capable of avoiding this pit
fall. if Won Hindenburg wishes to ex-
/ tend his front east of Rheims in ex-
change for a further slaughtering OF
German man power, General Foct
may well give his approval to the
plan Operations east of Rheims

bringing Paris or the channel port.

AUDUBON COUNTY
BOY ATTENDS FUNERAL

The death Of his uncle. Mr.. Smith
Burton, last week, brought Randall
Hunter and wife Of Tulsa, Okla
homa here to attend the funeral.
Mr.. Hunter was raised in Aud
ubon County and has many for
mer residences of those OF the south
part Of the County who have gone
away. He received his high school
education in Extra finishing the law
course from which he graduated
from Iowa City. After obtaining
his parchment he found the pro
fession uncongenial to his tastes
and soon drifted to the then new
territory Of Oklahoma. The real
estate business appealed to his lik-
ing, which he has followed until he
has become wealthy.
