Gen. von Arnim, it is now known, is the man chosen by von Hindenburi? and von Liidendorff to try to withstand the ?iant hammer blows of the British Army in Field Marshal Hair's new dirve east of Tpres. Von Arnim told the Germans, after they had beer worsted in the Somme battles, where their mistakes lay. Now he is ehosen to hold that vital part of the line in Flanders into which the British wedge is relentlessly eating. It was by means of concrete "pill boxes" sprinkled about a shellhole area that von Arnim hoped to break the force of the British advance in the fighting of recent months. But in his r?port last nieht Field Marshal Haig says that a number of concreted strong points and fortified farms were taken early in yesterdays ad vnnca. In -previous attacks these had been the objectives for the possession of which there had been heavy fight ins. v But the new method of attack against the Germans' latest forms of defensive tactics are not revealed. How vital the Germans consider the maintenance of their lines in the Ypres sector is shown by the fact that against the Eritish alone, before this latest push, nearly forty army divisions (560,000 men) were engaged at different times, whereas In the Somme battles the Anglo-French forces together worsted twenty-eight divisions (392.000 men). Tht military correspondent of the Daily News, commenting on yester day's battle says: The Haig strategy is to drive a big wedge Into the enemy's front, tending to separate the Germans operating south of tho I.ys from the Germans operating north of that river. If the movement continues as it has begun the time will come when we shall see another of those 'voluntary' re tirements, 'according to our plan,' which resulted from similar tactics on the Somme. "Von Hindenburg, of course, knows this, and hence the tremendous effort which he is making to check British progress eastward. Menin and Rou- iers are the two strategical points of importance. With t he British army on the line joining tho3e two towns together Haig won id be able to at tack I-illo from the north and Ostend from the south." 5N mor Stove Polish YOU Should Vi IT'S diffei others bee; ia fr.iiren and the materials used are fJ hicher trrsde.
