War Expert Believes Move Will Be , . toward Paris. . ; NEW YORK, July 13. Persistent I French attacks tjetween the Aisnc and tne niarne strongly suggest, huh, ura eral Foch believes Von Hindenburg's next offensive, if it materialises a,j all. will be directed against Paris. The Aisne-Marne front is the best jumning off place for an advance on Paris. eThis is especially true of the northern sector. It is here, east of the Villers-Cotterets forest that Gen eral Foch has lately concentrated his efforts to improve his local positions. Today's official, , French report an nounces still another victory in this district which may well be regnrded as the outer defenses of Paris. : -." ' : The Vlllera-Cotterots forest Is the most valuable defensive area in Gen- oral "FpcW'posyessren-betWee Aisne and the Marne. The Uernwns have advanced to the eastern fringe of the forest,' but are" how. being shoved back- it important lobal points. Theac 8dccessfur assaults by General' Foch are adding to the defensive security of tho t rench ' positions, but tney siso cravely mterfore with such prepara tions as Von Hindenburg may be making for a drive in that area, The Villers-Cotterets forest splen didly protects the , principal railway running from the Aisne-Marne front to Paris. There is an admirable path for a quick lash toward Paris some twclvp miles wide between this rail wnv and the Oureq and Marne rivers which form a continuous stream. If Von Himienburg : could penetrate through the forest he would hove overcome the chief obstacle to seirinp this runway to Paris. ' Thereafter the French would have no natural defenses to assist in the I frontal defense of their capital. They would have to rely largely on threat ening the two Gorman flanks near Compiegne and Chateau Thierry. Thise threats certainly would rcvelor now complications, for Vcn H . iden burg. But with tho Villers-Co.'.ti)rets forest, in the enemy's possession, the allies' task would be seriously in creased.
