Twenty-Five years later,
the Germans again are storm
ing the rocky, wooded height
of Chemin Des Danes, which in
1918 they left strewn with Allied
dead and swept across the Aisne
down to the Marne in the dark
days when the Allies were fighting
with their backs to the wall.
The Germans were very close to
Paris then, and may be again II
they succeed in breaking through.
General Weygand. however, appar-
emily is profiting by the lesson Of
1918, and even if the Germans swarm
over Chemin DeS Danes and reach
the Aisne, they will find that they
have pierced merely the first de-
fense, and that strong, deep lines
lie between the AiSne and the

but they finally were stopped at
the Marne, partly by grace of the
magnificent action of the then un-
tried American army at Chateau
Thierry. Two months later came the
second battle of the Marne and
the beginning of the end for the
Germans.
In this instance, dispatches from
France indicate General Weygand
is following Petain'S advice and
maintaining a strong rear. He is
reported to be letting the tanks
