greater in number and Importance to-

military experts of the United States
and of the allies now on duty here.
Military men set forth the following

ther from the Marne salient and may
force the decisive battle of the war.
2. If Germany attempts to stage a
great battle General FOch may decline
the offensive and gather his forces to
q strong line of defense.
8. Germany may attempt to carry
through her original plan and aim a
bold blow against Amiens and the chan
mel ports.
4. General Foch my press the ene-
my vigorously, refusing to assume the
defensive and extending his offensive.
The war department has received re-
ports showing that 80 per cent Of the
forces engaged in the surprise attack
on the western flank Of the Marne were
Americans.
Within the coming week six new
army divisions will be organized In the

nouncement by Gen. Payton c. March.
