'/AMERICAN INFLUENCE If HOLDS HINDENBURG

^&tren?ilx of TJ. S. Force Compels Germans To Assume Defensive At Important Points.

YORK. Aug. 10.—America's

iJfv. SEW '-^decisive influfnee upon German strategy has been made plainly evident K* '•his week by the refusal of Hinden- *.* bur* to aocept Marshal Foch'» chalienge to a pitched battle for the mastery of the Montdidier salient and the highly Important front southeut of

Amiens.

{C Faced by «M strong British mttack, Xj» undertaken in conjunction with the French on the south and American's

on the north, Hindenburg has turned to the defensive, duplicating the W-tactics he employed in his retreat from jv the Marne. The importance of this •g, week's progress by the three allies is not so much in the actual ground gained, but in the implied acknowledgement by Hindenburg that he must shorten his front to save his reserves.

Amiens Out of Danger,

sj The military results that have fallen to Marshal Foch in three days inelude' the removal of Amiens from any immediate danger of a new Qerman offensive the reopening of the important A I e n s-Paris railway, which was previously under command of the German guns and the elimination of the strategic value of the Montdidier, 6alient as a possible base for a new German drive to Paris.

These highly important coBseqnenees of this week's victories are secondary, however, to the fact that Hindenburg has declined to permit his reserves to he used for counter attacks. The allies have had to meet strong defensive resistance by the Germans, but no evidence has been apparent that Hindenburg dares to engage in severe offensive combats to retain his former line between the Montdidier corner and the Somme.

Germany Awake at Last. The reason is unquestionably due to the character of the fighting shown by the Americans during the Marne engagements, and the knowledge in Germany that an unlimited number of the same kind of troops is now being dispatched from the United States to France. Hindenburg has shot his bolt. He cannot longer hope to win. Henceforth he must abandon the conflict, or fight at most for a draw. The dominant pre-oocupation at German headquarters is to build up a new reserve organization which must meet the forthcoming major offensive of the Ameriaans. Hence, Hindenburg has revealed a new timidity in holding his enormously extended front in the west.

The allies have pushed into German positions this week with unprecedented slight casualties. Again the reason 1b Hindenburg's fear to resist when resistance means the depletion of his reserves. Hindenburg cannot tell how soon these sam$ reserves will

be needed to defend German territory against American armies advancing toward the Rhine.

On to the Rhine.

A ffrw abort weeks ago it was the safety of Paris and the channel ports that dominated the military situation along the west front. Today it is beginning to be the safety of the Rhine. The strain of defensive strategy is passing from the allies to the Germans. There can be no question but that the kaiser knows his armies in the west must eventually fall back at least to the old Hindenburg line, so that reserves may be taken from the shortened front. The beginning of that movement Is visible in this week'# developments between Montdidier and the Somme. The Rhine for the first time is influencing events in Picardy.

BULGARIA MAY AliH WITH KIMS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.—Revolt in Bulgaria and defection from the German alliance is believed possible and perhaps impending.

Events of extreme significance are transpiring (behind the light German censorship. High entente officials here are 4aily expecting Bulgaria to snap the weakening strings that have tied her to the German alliance for four weary years with nothing but increasing prospects of defeat as compensation.

An armistice until the end of the war, rather than a separate peace between Bulgaria and the allies, is likely, entente officials say. Difficulties in framing a separate peace in the Balkans which would satisfy. Serbia, Gre«ce and Italy are almost insurmountable until the general peace conference meets to remake the map of Europe.

Crown Prince Ruppreeht'sentire second and eighteenth armies already are badly mauled. The German losses are conservatively estimated at between 50,000 and 60,000. It is believed that 400 guns Is the lowest possible estimate of captured artillery. Prisoners believe the Germans will be unable to hold the line from Noyon to Peronn®, along the Somme and the Canal, toward which they are retreating.

Field Marshal Haig is too close behind to permit any organized resistance there.

PICARDY MENACE PASSES.

Famous Salient Likely Yo Become Graveyard of Kaiser's Hopes. tiONDON, Aug. 10.—The famous Picardy salient, which six short months ago threatened to split the allied armies and inflict a German peace on the world, Is fast becoming the graveyard of the kaiser's hopes. The huge bulge is melting away before the combined onslaught of British, French, Australians, Canadians and Americans, under the leadership of Field Marshal Haig.

The allied drive, begun Thursday morning over a meagre front of less than 20 miles, between Morlancourt and Hargicourt, has grown to a width of more than 40 miles, extending in an irregular line from Albert to Vignemont. Reports received today stated that the fighting Is spreading northward toward Arras and eastward toward the Oise. When it will have reached those points the battle will present a front of nearly 75 miles.

Fifteen miles north of Arras is La Bassee, the southern extremity of the Flanders salient. Approximately the same distance east of the Oise is Soissons, the western extremity of the Aisne-Vesle front. The allies, according to the latest reports, have penetrated to ^Lihons, near Chaulnes, in the center of their Picardy attack. This town Is 11 miles east of Hangard, where the assault began.

Few Allied Dead Found. Comparatively few allied dead have been found on the battlefield. Conservative observers say there ®re 10 German dead to one ally, but apparently neither side suffered as much, as in some other battles. The allies advance was too rapid to allow the enemy much accurate shooting, save in spots, and the Germans ran too fast to be caught in the creeping barrage in great numbers. But there have been heavy German casualties.

Many prisoners seemed pleased at being captured. They whistled and shouted welcomes to new batches arriving at intervals. Others were greatly depressed, appearing to believe that this is the beginning of the end. They evidently do not think that Hindenburg will ever be able to resume the offensive. Signs of a withdrawal from other Salients on the British front might tend to confirm this belief.

PUNISHING THE KAISER.

Editor of Tre Tribune: No one has yet hit on the most excruciating punishment for the kaiser. I would bring him to Terre Haute, install him in a room on South Seventh street and then run that flat-wheeled car up and down In front of his door. I'll bet his remorse would be nearly adequate to his crimes. To this inhumane thought, I am ashamed to sign my name.
