Idricniie's The sudden German drive on the English channel, based on the sound atrategy of "dive and conquer," ha the allies gravely worried and would seem to have an excellent chanca of quick success. Success at all would have to be quick. A matter of daya, per haps hour, should determine the success or failure .of the bold German plant The 'man euver has developed . Into a desperate race between awlft German mechanized forces roll ing northwest in France par allel to tho Belgian border, and a force of nearly 1,000,000 Brit ish, Belgians and French re treating from Belgium to save themselves from being cut off. Big Battle Looms Whether or not the German are auccessful in reaching the channel and cutting oft these allied forces, the next great battle probably will be on the river Somme in the vicinity of Amlen. There are two reasons to (up port thli belief. It German units In sufficient force win the race to the chan nel, the French main forces now being gathered for a full dresa counter-attack no doubt will strike hard northwest of Amlen In an effort to estab lish contact with and rescue tho allied forcea now threatened with encirclement In Belgium. Ports May Ba Freed If, on the other hand, these allied forces make good their escape, , they will probably Join French forces now being con centrated along tho Amiens Saint Quentln line for an ob llque, smashing allied counter attack with the object of free ing the channel porta from dan ger for a long time to come. The heaviest-hitting German forces appear to be in a triangle whose base runs from near Cambral to Saint Qucntln and whose reported apex near Pcronno on tho Somme points straight at Amiens, due west Eagle Point; social chairman, Kenton Robbins of Ashland; and editor of the Siskiyou, Harold Baughman of Ashland. HOLDS FINAL MEET down the Somme about 30 miles away. f f Military experts agree that the loss of Amiens would be an allied calamity opening the way for heavy German forces to fol low the valley to the channel. Amiens is not a fortified city. O.My natural obstacles, such as rlverj, and what troops the allies are able to mass in front of the German advance In hur riedly dug trench fortifications stand between nazl mechanized columns and comparatively easy march to the channel in the region of Abbeville. Point Engulfed Strong points In this corner of France are1 Lille, St.. Omar and Dunkirk. But- the German probably would awing around these points, as they did Licgo and Namur in Belgium, and leave them a Islands of re sistance to be engulfed later by German legions cutting off their communications lines in every direction. v Although the main German drive appeared to be the chan nel maneuver just discussed, German pressure is not being relaxed on the center and east ern portions of the bulge they forced into France. Their still remains the pos sibility especially If Germans in strong force are not able to win through to the channel ahead of allied troops retreating from Belgium that a lightning shift will be made to throw the major German drive against Paris, in the hope of catching the bulk of the allied -armies too far north in the Somme region to protect the French capital.
