wider than was Ludendorff Oof
the British front.
At the end OF the fourth day,
Rundstedt's depth OF penetration
was around 20 miles, similar to
Ludendorff's.
Rundstedt reported 10 the Ger
man general staff that by last
Wednesday evening American
prisoners taken have passed the
10000 mark. One hundred and
seventy-nine tanks and armored
cars were captured or destroyed
and 124 planes shot down.
This Is the largest bag the
Germans have taken of the
Americans In any battle in the
present war but Is considerably
below the number LudendorH
took at the same comparative
time.
AUsTRIA's FAILURE
To me. Ludendorff attributed

not sending him the promised
Austrian divisions and 70 the
kaiser's refusal 10 approve his
request that all forces In the east

Despite what Is unquestionably
the most serious reverse the
American army has suffered in

SECOND PHASE NEAR
The Germans say the first
phase OF Rundstedt's surprise
countaroffsnsive has ended "ae-
cording to plan" and the second is
beginning.
Rundstedt has spoiled Christ
mas for tens OF thousands OF our
boys who now will not get their
packages and letters in time be-
cause of the shifting and re-
grouping forced by the German
field marshal.
That In the face OF overwhtln1-

over the fighting front the Ger
mans could stage such a surprise,
calling for a concentration OF
troops and the Amsssine of guns

causing much wonderment.
