Delay Held Reason
For Stronger Mazi Lines

When the next Allied smash
comes, there is little doubt that it
will be successful, but the fight
ing is going to be much harder
than it would have been few
weeks ago when confusion prevail
ed on the German side.
For reason that historians will
have to find, the German High
Command has been consistently
able to use time to better advan-
tage than the Allies. Perhaps this
is due to more battle experience
and more flexibility in the field
command in the German army.
It has amazed many Allied mill
tary men that the Germans have
been able to more their troops at
all under the terrific air pounding
they receive daily, much less with
the skill and speed they have dis
played month after month.
This German rehabilitation OF
the Western Front is not the first
time they have recovered from
crushing blows when they them
selves thought all was lost. For
example, when the Allies first in
vaded Italy in l943, the Germans
blew up military installations all
the way from Naples to Florence
indicating they thought all Italy
was lost to them. Then they found
they were able to hold the Allies
temporarily. The poure d IN
troops and made the Allies pay
a high price in men and months,
fighting to get territory which the
Germans at first were willing to
give up for nothing.

BY YVES GALLAGHER

WITH THE U. S. NINTH ARMY
IN GERMANY, Feb. 17.-{R-The
Allied command, by not striking
when German west front defenses
were disorganized and drained in
recent weeks to supply their East
ern Front, have permitted the Ma
zis to stabilize and reorganiZe
their line.
Aside from the Canadian Army
offensive at the northern end of
the Western Front, the Germans
have had to meet only air attacks
and local assaults since, loss of
the Belgian bulge and they have
been able to shift forces north
ward to meet the Canadians.
Offensives by one army at a
time have been typical of the Al
lied winter strategy and the Ger
mans have been able to use their
reserves like shifting backfield
defense in football game.
However, although they have re-
organized, the Germans still do
not hold the Western Front in
great strength. They are employ
ing the advantages of terrain of
southern Belgium and northern
France and the flooded Roer river
to fight delaying actions.
At one time it appeared that the
Germans were planning to leave
a skeleton force on the fighting
line and withdraw the main body
of their forces across the Rhine,
but the lnterlude since their re-
treat from the Ardennes has given
them time to sort out their units
and establish a more balanced
front.
