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.
