Th point ot attack selected ,' by
Marshal Foch caused no great" sur

French strategists saw that the
Champagne front offered the great-
eat possibilities In repelling the ,ln-
vaders with the least expenditure ot
men. There wss tierce fighting that
year on this sector, but the French
lacked th reserve power to press
forward In accordance with their
strategic designs and were forced to
settle back to tactical operations and
defensive measures. . .
