Gen. Foch. the supreme commander
in-ehief and no one here would be
surprised should the entente try an
offensive against the Germans at a
point far removed from the present
scene of the fighting.
The series of battles which the
German assault precipitated must
last for months. officers here say.
They declare that there is a decided
chance that this summers cam
paign can be made the final one Of
the war. Germany now is at the
maximum in men, these officers say,
and il has been demonstrated that
the allied forces now in France can
hold the German armies.
Losses Are Large.
The losses Of the last 13 days
lighting have been very large, but
far more on the German than on
the British side. The reserve army
created by the supreme war coun-
ell at Versailles has not yet been
engaged anywhere so far as can be
learned here. Therefore they say
that the initiative can be assumed
by Gen. Foch at any moment and
that when he does take it, it must
be developed everywhere and the
attacks pushed regardless of the cost
i'm men and materials.
There is no doubt here that any
serious reverses of the army on the
western front must he quickly re-
sponded TO by increased discomfort
among the German people. Already
