How Anglo Saxons on Front View
Latest German Offensive.

IAtoSS 0oTTUdU SW0VoIt0s
Cabling the New York Times from
Paris this week. Charles H. Grasty. OF
Baltimore, writes what follows:
In tho course OF weeks automobile
tour along and behind the northern
front. have talked with many English.
Canadian. and American officers about
the new German offensive. Speaking
generally, 1t is viewed gravely.
But. while the officers seem to give
the enemy credit for exploiting his al
vantage very capably. in no caicula
tons was a German victory considered
Nowhere is there the light-hearted con
fdence such as men often show In the
face Of impending disaster.
These men know where they stand.
They Will soon be called on to bar ths
way, and their jaws are set, No mat.
ter what the danger 1t must be met
and the price they personally pay does
not matter in the least.
In my whole weeks travelling | heard
no opinion entertaining the possibility
OF ultimate German victory. Cities
might fall whole armies be anpihilated
every man | saw faces the next few
weeks fully prepared 20 make the sa=
preme sacrifice-but nobody believed
that this great free world was about
to go under the German yoke.
Summing up the officers mess opin-
ion: II is not believed that Paris. Calais
or even Amiens will fall to the enemy
as tho result OF the present series of
offensives. These successive thrusts
are regarded as the working out OF a
very Intelligent German program to
drive in wedges and so lengthen the
allied line as to make 1t untenable and
compel us to shorten It.. II we with
draw to a shorter front the enemy will
then hope to repeat the same process
until he reaches our vitals.
The plan is fine and may partly suc
coed. but the history Of war abounds
in examples of just such fine plans
going wrong.
