fcopyrght, 19fs. the Tribune Association-the
New York Tribune)
The past two weeks have seen one
of the most momentous changes in
the whole history of the world war.
Having exploited his victory between
the Marne and the Aisne to its full
measure. but wisely declining to re-
peat the old blunders of the Somme
and of Flanders. Marshal Foch on Au-
gust shifted his field of action to
the familiar battle-ground of the
Somme and opened the first allied Of
fensive Of the campaign of 1918. By this
blow he definitely indicated that he
regarded the time as come when the
and that the hour was over when in
fertority in numbers and Of material
condemned the allies to the defensive on
the western front.
Foch's attack in Picardy resembled
In many ways his counter offensive
between the Aisne and the Marine, but
IN military sense il was quite diff
1erent thing. In the earlier operation
Foch struck to bring to a halt and
throw back dangerous German Of
fensive. and his blow was directed at
the flank of German army engaged
in an operation organized and planned
by Ludendorff- His stroke was a de-
fensive blow, and 1t had exhausted it's
possibilities when 1t had compelled
the German to evacuate a certain area
OF ground. part of 1t taken in the op-
GRAFTON which was still in progress,
part OF 1t taken in an earlier offensive
designed to prepare the way for the
later undertaking.
But In Picardy Foch was acting not
to block a German operation. but to
take advantage of the situation in
which earlier German operations had
placed the foe. His hands were free;
ne could attack where and when he
chose. and the DISCRIMINATION of the
enemy due to the recent defeat gave
him that security against a German
counter blow which has not been pos
sessed before this year. He had.
moreover. the great advantage of
having used far fewer troops in the
second battle of the Marne than his
enemy. He had needed much smaller
numbers to take advantages offered
by enemy blundering. Ludendorf
had been compelled to draw troops
from the north to aid those in the
south. but Foch had not been COM
PEELED to make corresponding drafts
upon the British. and as a result he
had the British army intact for the
new effort. while the American con-
tributions had enabled him also to
save certain French reserves for the
Somme attack.
