German Bid q Failure

Thercupon Iudendorf turned north and
tried between Arras and yprcs. The Portu-
gucse collapse on the Lys was even worse
than that Of the British Fifth army OIL the
Somme. But before the real success could
be exploited the French again appeared
and the Battle Of the Lys, like that Of
Picardy, had to be broken off
Now, what did this mean? Nothing more
nor less than that by April % the great
German bid for decision was a failure.
Like the Marne. the main strategic concep-
ton had been unachievcd. Local battle
success, tactical gains, in the jargon of the
soldier, no substitutes. The situation
was exactly what it had been after the
Marne The whole grandiose conception had
broken down: prisoners taken, guns capt
urcd, territory occupied, these were no sub
stitutes.

Paris Not The Object;re

To begin at the beginning, l.udendortF
completely clears UP the question aa to
the German objective Of March two years
ago. There was no thought OF q new cam
paign for Paris, at the outset or during
the first two months. Such geographical
objective as there was existed in the pos
sibility Of an advance in open country be-
tween the British and the French armies
toward the mouth of the Somme What the
Germans after was a decisive military
victory over the British.
To achieve this they planned to attack the
Third British army, standing about Arras,
and attack it both in front and flank They
planned 10 use one army for frontal at
tack, o second to turn the southern flank
and a third to the other two against
any French intervention from the south
Success meant the smashing of two of the
five British armies and the cooping up of
the other three along the coast. Out of
such victory LudendorY expected to
achieve peace on German terms.
But, as the event turned out, the Third
British army was not only not beaten, but
actually it held off all of one German army
and part OF the second, fought its main an
tagonist to a standstill, and inflicted such
casualties that LudendorF now makes no
conceament Of his chagrn on this subject.
BY contrast, the Fifth British army to the
south, which was to be pushed back, col
lapscd, and, accordingly, it became neccs-
sary to change the objectives after battle
was joined, to try to make the unexpected
success serve in place Of the planned
triumph.
But before this could be done the French
intervened while the victorious German
army found itself slowed down and handi-
capped by the very dcvastations resulting
from the Hindenburg retreat OF the pre-
vious year. BY the first days OF April the
lines began to harden, warfare Of positions
returned, French reserves not only filled
the gap but were counter attacking, and
what was before the Germans was the pros
pect OF another Nerdun.
