Litem of control along the coast constituted a serious handicap to them, however, since the sea had pre viously protected them effectually against a flanking movement by the allies in that quarter. With a belt of unoccupied territory between the extremity of their line and salt water, however, the envelopment of their right wing became a possibility. Attack Would Be Dangerous. Whether such a movement would be attempted appeared to depend on whether or not the allies could spare an adequate force from their main front.

Thus, whilo the Germans accepted an undoubted risk when they with drew from the coast, it was a risk which the allies could not take ad vantage of without exposing them selves to serious danger. If, however, the allies have among them a brilliant offensive commander, he might seize the moment to strike at the German flank. So Oreat i.eacter Tet.
