The situation since the battle of the Avre shows a change, which tor rapidity and ex tent ha rarely been approached In military history. Marslial Foch'n strategy and the masterly tactics have la three weoks wrested from the Qermsns what required four months for them to obtain at a cost variously estimated from 700,000 to 1,000,000 men. The Immediate results of the counter-offensives which will have tho greatest bearing on subsequent ev ents are the clearing of Chateau Thi erry, ending the menace to Eperuay and Paris, the liberation of Monldl dler, ending the menace to Amiens, the freeing of the Important eastern railroad line from Paris to Chalons aad the equally Important northern line from Paris to Aaalen and re storing to the Allies means of com munication which give them enor mously greater case In future move meats of troops. These successes render Impossible any rupture of the line which would separato tho French armies of tho center from tlioiu to the east or a rupture of the Junction between the French and British. The most dis astrous consequences to the Germans asldo from tho heavy losses they sus tained In men and material, Is the collapse of their plan to drlvo wedges Into the Allied lines and tho subse quent widening and Joining which would have threatened general dislo cation. Marshal Foch's strategy In reduc ing the salient wedges wrested. tho Initiative In operations from the Ger mans, at onco obliging them either to order a general retreat to a strong line such as the Somme or to en gage reserves. The enemy adopted the second alternative which, having failed, makes eventual retirement Immensely mora difficult. The first phase of the battle of the Avre finds tho French with footlng upon Thlescourt plateau, west of Noyon, which has vital Importance la future operations. The -Qermsns must either capture It at, high cost If he can, or abandon Noyon, which means tho fall of Roye and Lassigny, which already are under Imminent meaace of capture. The dlstster which menaced Gen eral von' Hutler's army has been averted for the moment. The few narrow passages which now are open for the withdrawal of his stores are ao harassed by tho bombs or aviators aad the fire of heavy artillery' that prompt escape Is impossible render ing .probable a desperate, effort by the Germans to cling to their 1014 Haas.
