A despatch from London says:=lt
is believed here that 'the troops en-

has long been known that he had re-

expected that the Germans would
make their next blow.
The moment chosen for the blow. is ;,
considered an opportune one, as it
known that a large ,number of Rup-

German Crown Prince to extricate his
army from the predicament it had en-
countered through Marshal Foch's
