light woolen material or heavy silk, or

be too warm to wear almost Imme-

serious fighting on these sectors for the
year. .
Hlndenbues's reasoning was In sub
stance this: "I cannot afford the, men
for another Somme battle this year and
the enemy is preparing to resume the
struggle. But If I retire 20 miles to good
positions It will take him ail summer to
arrive before new positions with his
communications, heavy artillery and
other machinery. He will not be able
to attack the new line this year, but
will be compelled to attempt an offensive
on either side, where the new line rejoins
the old, that Is. in Slanders and on the
Aisne. He will thus attack my flanks,
whan I retire my center, but by retiring
my centre and -devastating the ground
before it I shall be safe from an attack
there and can concentrate men and guns
on my flanks and break the attacks of
the foe."
StraUgy
U Effective
This was exactly what happened. The
retreat to the Hlndenburg line ended the
fighting between Arras' and the Solssons
region for the year,' Hat made a brief
effort In front of Arras, which coincided
with Nlvelle's Atsne offensive. But Nl-
velle's attack was wrecked because the
Qermana were able to concentrate men
and guns on this flank. A similar fate
overtook Halg's main offenslvs of the
summer and autumn In Flanders for the
same reasons. Meantime - Hlndenburg
disposed of his. eastern difficulties for
the time being and waa prepared to re
sume the Western battle In the spring.
Now, it must be clear that Ludendorff
can, if he chooses, imitate the Htndsn
burglan strategy He can retire to the
Hlndenburar line, and any serious attack
upon It this year win be -out or tne ques
tion, because it will be impossible for
tha allies to . construct railroads and
highways across the Picardy desert in
time for any serious attack before the
end of the campaigning season. They
will be left with the-alternative of at
tacking in Flanders and In Champagne,
but the Germans will be able onoe more
to concentrate all their reserves on their
flanks and. by reason of their early
gains this year, their positions on both
flanks are far better than they were in
117. ..
Defenrive h
Only Hope . V...-
It is clear that if Iudendorff decides
to retreat he abandons tKe offensive for
the campaign, and for the war. Unlike
Hlndenburg in 1917, he can nave no nope
of renewing the. attack after a delay.
There wtll be no hew accession of troops
5 or the west such as the' collapse of Rus
ia provided. Once on the defensive, the
Germans can have no other- chance of
winning the war than a lone, costly and
terribly- burdensome defensive.. But-? It
'must be already Plata that this is about
all that is left for them in any case and
that they may Imperii the chances of de
fensive warfare if they stay too Ions In
positions which are valuable only as
points of departure for' an attack which
they can no longer expect to make.
A German retreat then, wlll.be de-
liberate refusal of battle, formal and
unmistakable resignation of the offen-
sive."a return to Hlndenburga strategy
of 11T. with the realisation that it la a
retreat without hope of a-later return
to the offensive. The German will aban
don strategy which is baseeL upon an
effort to obtain' a decision by onlrterrlf ic
campaign in favor of a strategy", which
geeks to avoid defeat by prolonging the
war until exhaustion compels all of the
combatants to stop, and William II, like
Louis' XTV. wtU be left in possession of
certain conquered provinces of his foes.

EAR POLLY: ,
While It really isn't fall, one always
feels in an autumnal mood when Sep
tember appears, and ao I am moved to
tell you today about furs, the kind you
will' want to think about for winter.
Pur, if you can afford it will be a p-
trlotlo duty -J this year, because it will
save wool that Is, . properly used. For
this reason one' is more apt to find whole
rur coats or coats that ao 60-50 on fur
and wool rather than neckpieces or sep
arate wraps to be worn over wool coats.
The fur coats are slim. of build, their
aim teeming to be to save wool. bu,t
hot. to go too strong on wool euner.
Where small animals, or strips are used
the .tendency la to have them go round
and round Instead of up and down. And,
my dear, If . you have any caracul hid
den away in your attic, get it out by
all means, aa it promises to be ths nov
elty of the winter. Of course, there will
be fur capes of wool with fur Inserts.
such as yokes and long vest panels.. .
Have I dwelt at length to you before
on. fringe and braid? For. they go to
gether, you know. The first tall irocka
seem to rely entirely on those two trim
mings alone or in combination for their
chief charm. Black satin with fringe.
and eerge with braid, will be seen in
enough quantities to suggest a unltorm,
though no two dresses need be made
alike. I have noticed a unique way of
getting at the fringe idea without using
fringe itself, and that it is to fray 'the
material. Not only taffeta and satin,
but serge and other woolen materials
are frayed at the wrists, along panels,
-ash ends, etc., and present an entirely
new appearance, with a savins of ma
terial rather than a waste in hems and
facings. ... '
Which reminds me of a stunning sep
arate skirt in Scottish vein which I ran
across the other , day. Of a rich plaid
woolen material, it was kilted in true
Scotch style, with a., leather belt - and
metal buckle, and one wide bretelle over
the right shoulder and fastening to the
left at back and front, This waa. to
represent the plaid shawl Idea, of course,
but it waa not awkward.. The edges
were frayed to suggest the shawl fringe,
too.. - . . : :r . .
. .
And aa'- for braid, it never ' was In
better hands than those of the fashion
designers of the moment With it she
suggests stripes on plain material and
plaids, too. Sh uses ..twOrvthrea,;and
even four widths and varieties at once.
Panels, vests and. yokes are ' all sag-
gested with braid. Be ready for it .for
it is coming- strong. ,
Should the government allow but one
hat to a woman this winter the lady of
fashion need 'hot worry. She can adopt
the three-ln-one hat Just launched by a
stylish ntunner. . une orun u-nas.and
three detachable crowns. We have had
the hat before which.. could be - worn

one brim been so fortunate aa to be a

Tha first crown was of velvety with tiny

It is worth recognising, too, that next
year the German can. If he chooses, re
peat the Hlndenburg- retirement in
France and in 'Belgium, withdrawing,
for example, to the line of the Scheldt '

advantage next year, when a vast Amer
ican army will be able to try the offen

The Lorraine offensive is little under

for our allies as long as the mass of the
German troops are In northern France
and the allies are unable to do more
than mBtch these German numbers. It
is -equally Impossible for the Germans.,
But when we arrive with our great army

Bhelms might enmpej a withdrawal of
the Germans behind the Mouse.
