THE.WAR SITUATION '-
• The German retreat on the Western
front still continues, but the progress
made by the Allies during, the past
three days has been considerably slows
,
ed up. The Germans have been heav-
ily reinforced by their reserve troops
and *dr retreat is being conducted
skillfully. The ground has also favor-
ed thein as the dense woods through
which they have passed, have enabled
them at tithes to -hold up thausandm
advancing Allied troops; withfew
small groups of machine.guns. The
stiff fight being put up by the Ger-
nuins does not mean, however, that
they have hopes of haltiegithe Allies,
on the present, ground. Their- object
at present, is solely to delay the
Allied advance as mdch as possible
• in order to give the ihtime to further
prepare their &fen line, where they
_
have chosen to ma e their stand, and
to &low the rernovaI of the vast storey
which they had accumulabed for their
last offensive, which was so quickly
brought. to a standstill by General
. Foch. Their losses consequently have
been comparatively- small, compared
to the advantage gained, far time is
_
of, much more value to the German
command than many 801 iers. But
- the Germans -have lost ' good dea be-
sides ground. Tremendous stores of
'Germau ammunition were found by
the French and American troops in
the forests of Fere and Bis. -when they
were cleared of the enemy. The for-
ests and the surrounding ground north
of the Marne liver were virtualyi one
great arsenal for German ammunition
' of all kinds,, big gun shells being par-
ticularly numerous. At places on the
edges of the woods there were large
shells stacked like cordwood over large
areas. •All through the forest the A-
mericans found ammunition depots, at
some -places more than an acre of
ground being covered _with shells of
all calibres. Very few -gunsor these
shells, however, were captured, the
supposition being that many were
Withdrawn and that others intended
fer'the reat drive had not yet arrived
when the Allied offensive began. But
greater still than the loss of war ma-
terial, has been the great moral defeat
sustained by the enemy, .and the se-
vere losses in men, but the retirement
has.eost him nothing compared to the
damage suffered by his vain assualts
at Rheims. In spite of them all, how-
ever, when the Allies come up against
the enemy's ,prepared positions they
will doubtless find him still in . great
strength.
Where the Germans will make their
next stand May not be blown for sev-
eral days, but the enemy is atready
back on positions whichise held at the
end of May, and a large part of the
efforts and sacrifices he has made
during the past two months have
been thrown away in pure loss. This
result has 'undoUbtedly been due to
the better leading and batter fighting
qualities of the Allied troops. There
is no doubt that the Germans have
bean heavily hit. but at the 4arne time
we should not conclude -that the war
has been won. The Germans can not
afford to let the war drag on for a
couple of years or even ene year more,
because by that time the American
millions will be on the front line. This
being the -case, it is more than prob-
able that the Germans will make a
determined effort to restore the situ-
ation and we must expect another at-
tack along the whole front. It must,
be something like a night -mare for
the German Command to learn that
the Americans Gan fight, and that ev-
ery month from now on American
troops will be landing in France in at
least equal numbers to those Germany
can raise by conscription in a year.
The war thus far has demonstrated
that Ger many is powerless to breah.
Geri
any
Attie resistance. It now remains
to be semi what the Allies, backed by
the new American army can do to the
resistance of Germany. The odds at
least would appear to favor *e Allies.
