Letter* taken from raptured German soldiers in the battle of Oise show that | they were told by their officers that' Parte was to be captur J hy that date. Tbla la taken by military rritlrs her to indicate that the German general sjaff has laid plans for a fifth great Mow at the allied armies immediately, to follow the offensive between Mont djdier a?d Noyon which ended In comV?te failore. That there would be a fifth phase of. the great 191S offensive has never hcon doubted It Is well understood by the allies that the German! strategy te to launch rloseless attacks 1 at various polo'* on the front until the : allies are so exhausted that a break ' through to Paris and the channel port s j ' will be possible. Next Blew This Month. Observers now believe that the next blow will be launched about June 22 or 23. ten daya after the collapse of the drive for Crmpicgr.e. The great question Is. where will it come? Reviewing the offeneive since Its beginning on March 21. it will be noted that the Germans have struck each time at a different' spot. First It was at Amiens and Arras, where the HUNS launched their hardest attacks, made their greatest territorial gain. The second drive was at Ypres early In April. Here the French and British held the enemy back at Kcmrnel with , comparatively small gains. The third phase came at Solssnn* i and on the Mame. after a lull of more This line hud been weakened by lh>. ?-i? t?, I I; antes To reiniornMinTHITTfuWWffff and the result was that the Germans 1, reached the Marne. Again, however, than a month during which Hlndenburg reformed his shattered apntcs. the rrcnrh and Americans reserve filled the gap and stopped the foe. Fee Can Strika Anywhere. The fourth offensive came Just where General Foch had reason to believe It would be struck?on the Olae front between Montdidler a..d fee Noyon. Thla time he was ready, and the Germans were held to a five mile advance at terrific losses. Hlndenburg is now concentrating I his forces for a fifth attack somewhere 1 along the front from Ypres to Verdun ' It will not be long in coming. It Is] possible that even he Is not yet certain I where It will fall The Germans have the advantage of I the allies In occupying the inside of I a semi-circle, where they can mass a I vast number of troops and throw them | nt >4 hours' notice against any point | In the long line that seems most vul- | arable. eeuqi >a*t eqi jo XXoibjjk eqi jj months is followed, the foe will strike | " at a point which has not felt the shock t battle 'this year. In this event tho | front between Rheims and Verdun is | the most likely. On this front, near Chalons-snr I Marne. American troops sre In the! Una, anless they have been removed I ^ ? ^ ' --'-w - I op utneiai roc 11 ui leiuiuiie sum? atttr put of the front. May Attack in Lorraine. The possibility aiso exists of an attack on the American line to the pact of this front, anywhere between St. Iflhlel and Luneville. German tapppe have been concentrated behind tale line, and General Pershing has been preparing to meet an offensive there. An attack here would not serioealy affect the battle for Paria, but it might force a retirement of the allies from the Verdun salient if the Qomana were successful. The majority of the military observer, however, are agreed that the Germans must renew their battle somewhere between Ypres and Rheims If they are to gain their hopes?the operation of the British end French amies and tha capture of Paris and tin ehannel ports. This requires Hindenbnrg to make ape straight Hne of the front between MaatdIdler and Cbauteau Thierry. forcing ft* Rrench beck on the Ola*, where the fighting of the last week took place. To do thla he must take f from the alMes a strip of territory 30 See wide at its base and 13 miles f deep at its deepest point. So far the Otee drive has penetrated the allied llho to only a fraction of this exteot. Wring the German line open to flanktog attacks from two sides.
