A Word to the Wise To Be Wiped Out Soon

BY FRANK H. SIMONDS. (News-Times and Associated Newspaper War Expert.) Once more a situation is steadily developing on the western front which must lead shortly to another wide swinging German retreat, this time a retreat which will modify the whole familiar appearance of the front in Belgium and France for four years now. We have had a German wedge or salient thrust out toward Paris, with its nose resting upon the hills southwest and southeast of Laon and its sides

GERMAN KILLED IN DUGOUT BRITISH OFFICIAL PHOTO German soldier lying dead in the entrance of his dugout. He was shot while emerging from the dugout during a British attack on the enemy lines.

and on the western front since the days of the first Marne. Exactly where the German is to halt remains problematical, and it may well be that he is waiting for the weather to decide the question. Political reasons with him outweigh military. He is compelled to make just as little surrender of ground as possible and retire just as slow as possible, because otherwise the extent of his defeat might be unmistakable. He is risking all his reserves in an effort to postpone a decision this year, cxpecting to get peace by negotiation without more fighting, and without a campaign in 1919. But the logical line for his next stand is the Scheldt from Ghent to a point between Valenciennes and Cambral, thence across country through Guise and behind the upper Serro t4 the Alsne near C'haioau Porclen. and thenco to the Mouse near his present line.
