EVENING STAR WASHINGTON D. c. MONDAY NAY 90 1910

Gen. Weygand's greatest immediate
anxiety. Aside from infantry divi-
sions, there seems reason to believe
that the French have yet in hand,
and unused, two or three armored
divisions. the British anywhere from
one to three. and the Belgians two
Tight" divisions containing armored
elements. Even at the minimum fig-
ures given, these would make a
formidable spcarhead for great
counter effort; but 1t takes time to
get them together, and 1t takes time
to assemble the troops to follow them
up-especially when all marches
must be made at night, and con-
cealment sought by day from the
eyes of German scout pilots.
The Prime Minister'S account of
respective airplane losses seems to
indicate a considerable personnel
and material superiority of the al
lied air forces over the German, as
indeed early reports of the minor
operations over the western front
led one to believe. It is, / think,
necessary to accept such statements
with q certain amount of reserve,
as 1t is difficult accurately to esti-
mate losses of ones own or of the
other side in the heat Of such con-
fused action as has taken place dur
ing the last few days. But even If
the Prime Minister'S statement is
true only in part, it sets forth a
most hopeful prospect from the al
lied viewpoint. 1t is just another
indication of the fact that if the
Germans are to win at all, they must
win quickly,

serious for the Germans every day,
and every day that the Belgian forts
hold out 1t becomes just that much
worse.
As anticipated in yesterdays ar
ticle, the Germans moved toward st.
Quentin, on the upper Somme, and
have captured that town. But that
German armored elements have got
ten that far is not what counts.
Much more important is their effort
to widen the western flank of their
salient along the Sambre- Oise Canal,
to break down the shoulder of that
salient west Of Maubeuge, to sweep
forward with really heavy forces
across the Sambre and the Disc and
down the valley of the Somme to
Amiens. We are now coming to
what may be the crucial days of this
struggle. If the Germans get into
Amiens, the allies have suffered a
disaster. If the Germans can be
definitely stopped where they are,
perhaps driven back, then they will
find it difacult to get their drive
going again with the same velocity
and continuity-at least for some
time.
Much seems likely to depend on
the allied counter attack, the prep

BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
- ELIOT.
The appointment of Gen. Maxine
weygand as generalissimo of the
allied armies brings the right man
to the right job.
As to experience Gen. Weygand
was chief of staff to Marshal Foch
when the latter held the indentical
position, and by a curious coinci-
dence his first task was to turn the
Germans back from Amiens, the
very key point they are threatening
today, whose possession would
separate the British and French
Just as in 1918.
AS to military character, Gen.
weygand has the energy, the
organizing ability and the capacity
for quick and wise decision which
is demanded by this swift-moving
war. AS to the spiritual values,
Gen. Weywand has courage, COOL
ness and simplicity-and his ap-
pointment will do more to bolster
the morale of the French army
than anything else conceivable, for
they know and trust him and will
believe him capable of miracles.
AS a strategist, Gen. Weygand is
of the pYrest school of Foch. He
believes with all his soul in the
value of the offensive. 1t is i'm
possible to suppose that Mr.
Churchill's speech yesterday after
noon, in which he spoke of the
need for attacking the enemy, was
not inspired in part by Gen. Wey-
gand-or at the very least by Mr..
Churchill's knowledge of Weygand's
trend of thought.
Thus we may be sure that power
full allied counter-stroke is in prep
aration, and will be delivered at the
time and place Gen. Weygand Sc
lects. The only thing that could
prevent it would be such continuous
and violent pressure by the Ger
mans that the sheer need for strlv-
ing to check them would draw in
too many troops to allow a mass OF
maneuver to be collected. The ques-
ton, therefore, Is whether the Ger
mans can keep going and keep feed
ing in more troops, more armored
fighting vehicles. more planes.
Lines Lengthening.
The Germans lines of communl-
cation are lengthening as they ad-
vance. They become more and more
dependent on the railways. Some OF
the forts at Namur are still holding
out, helping to deny them. the
use of the great four track Aachen-
Liege-N -Namur- -Charleroi-Paris line.
Enormously, it seems, accepted a
German statement yesterday that
Namur had fallen completely into
German hands. And today the
British claim that both Liege and
Namur are holding OUT
There is nothing to show whether
the whole of the Brussels-MonS-
Maubeuge Railway is German con-
trolled or not. The farther the
Germans go, the more vital be-
comes their need to control these
railways: for truck columns cam
not supply increasingly huge armies
all the way from Germany to
Northern France. The British air
communique mentions troop move
ments in Western Germany, indi-
eating that more reserves are being
sent in This supply and reinforce
ment problem will become more

Bensinger was favored to reach

wage an uphill fight before eliminat-

ScoIzo,s N. B. A. Crown in Real
Danger From Gritty CovelG;;
OddVerdict Here Recalled

No newcomer to Washington is
Frankie Covelli, challenger for Petey

crown, for when the Chicago leather
pusher steps into the ring at the
ball yard next Wednesday night 1t
will be his fifth appearance here
since boxing was legalized in WASH
ington. And if Frankie's past per-
formance chart is criterion Scalzo
Is in for rough evening.
It has been three years since
Covelli was here last. That was the
cool September night he dropped
the duke to Lou Gevinson in a
rousing 10-round bout which would
have gone the other way under any
scoring system but the 10-point
total method employed here. Covel-
Ii won the fight by a comfortable
margin in the matter of rounds won
and lost. but when the officials added
up their cards, Gevinson was de-
clared the unanimous victor.
Verdict Queerly Split.
It happened this way: Referee
Denny Hughes voted for Gevinson,
90 to 80. Judge Bob Eller called
Lou the winner. 1890, and Judge
Charley Dunn handed the palm to
the Southwest lefty. 90-88. 1t looked
close enough of those figures, but
here's the. other angle: Hughes
gave Covelli five rounds, Gevinson
three and called two even; Eller
gave the italian four, Lou three
and called three even. Dunn saw
Covelli winning five, Gevinson three
and two even.
A total Of eight points on three
ballots separated Covelli from at
least draw with the Washington
fighter, but in matter of rounds he
had total five-round margin on
Gevinson.
