BY J. w. r. MASON,
United Pross War EXPERT.

New York, July 16.-Germany
has launched her fifth offensive
along the least important part OF
the western 'front.'
h primary purpose apparent-
ly is to try to entice General Foch
into rushing a large part of the al
lies reserves to defend the sector
northeast of Jaulgonne. II this
we're accomplished Won linden
burg would shift his main attack
westward and would attempt to
break through to Paris or the
channel ports.
The wedge which Won linden
burg drove into the French front
when the thrust his Aisne front
southwark to the Marine now
serves to separate the scene of the
present offensive from the area
defending Paris and the channel.
Eastward of this wedge, Won Hin
denburg is now resuming his ruth
less slaughter Of German man
power. Westward of the wedge
are General Foch's reserves. Be-
u he is on the outside Of the
wedge, General Foch cannot move
his reserves from east to west and
back again as quickly as can Won
Hindenburg.
The advantage of concentration,
therefore rests with Won Hinden-
burg.
