The War At A Glance
(By the Associated Preas.)
THE day finds Germany a little
nearer the brink of disaster.
Marshal Foch's broom, applied In
the Champagne, has swept' the
enemy back from a wider section
of the front than ever before.
Gen. Ludendorff Is reaping the
results of the cardinal error he
made in thinking that the allied
offensives were bound to be
spaced at wide Intervals like bis
own. The continuity of the at
tacks has literally dumbfounded
the Germans, and it is plain there
Is vacilating at grand German
headquarters. The evacuation of
the Belgian coast appears to have
been ordered and then counter
manded, which justifies the in
ference that Gen. Ludendorff is
no longer guided by purely mili
tary considerations, either from
the demoralizing effect a retreat
on a large scale would have on
the Interior, or with the idea that
the more territory remains In his
hands, the stronger will be Ger
many's position in Its conversa
tions with Washington. Gen. Lu
dendorff is letting Prussia's tune
slip by. for which it is likely be

I"ch Uses Xosi', Principles
Marshal Foch. in the preface to
his celebrated book on the con
duct of war, says:
"Nogi's army at Mukden sought
not so much to rush the Russian
right by a flank attack as to get
on his rear and thus determine
the retreat of all the enemy's,
forces."
The allied commanderincblet
seems to be applying that prin
ciple In France. Tlje German
front forms a vast salient from
the Escaut to the Meuse. the
extreme point of it being at
Antzy. Marshal Foch Is attack
ing it not alone on one flank, but
on both alternately, while he is
pressing the center in ibe sec
tion between La Fere and Berry
au Bac to prevent the enemy's
breaking contact and slipping
away.

Field marshal Haig. In his of
ficial report today, did not men
tion any new forward movements.
Line Extremely Unstable
The line Is extremely unstable,
however, and the German de
fences are described as mere
scratches on the surface.
There seems every probability,
therefore, that the allied drive
will be resumed as soon as the
guns and the transports catch up
with the advanced elements for a
powerful push at the improvised
German positions.
Meanwhile, the British sweep
ing move on the northerly front
has made an extremely close ap
proach to the city of DouaL Clos
ing in on the south, west and
northwest the British are harldy
more than a mile and a half from
the center of the place, through

nouncement of Doual's fall at any
hour would not be surprising.
Big Galnii In Champagne
Equally sweeping advances are
being made by the French in the
Champagne. The German front
hero seems to have lost Its power
of successful resistance and Gen.
Petain's troops have made a quick
advance of from three to four
miles. The Important town of
vouzleres has been penetrated
and the French line in Cham
pagne has been brought up to a
level with It far to the west along
the Retourne river.
The advance in the Champagne
has now reached a depth of near
ly 15 miles since the Franco
American offensive was started on
this front September 3S, hardly
more than two weeks ago.

merican Exist?
Can there be any American
who is not doing all he can to
win the war? Who pretends to
believe that we could have kept
out?
Who whines and growls about
the little sacrifice he is asked to
make?
Who gets panics tricken and thinks that
it -would be better to compromise -with the
Hun and .listens to the serpent -whispering
of German propaganda?
If such an American exists let him realize
what Germany has done to Russia, which
gave in. and negotiated a cowardly peace.
There is only one thing for us all today
and that is war to the bitter end war until
the Hun is utterly and completely destroyed.
Fpr those who cannot fight
Liberty Bonds
are the best possible weapons
against the Hun.
