ed to win a showy success that might
be dished up in a manner to quiet, for
,the moment, the threatening murmurs
of the people of the central empires.
Thert is no doubt that the allied
front along the Aisne has been weakly
held, General Foch was perfectly sound
in his judgment in weakening it. He
has had to do this in order to insure
the safety of the. channel ports, which
is the paramount consideration. The
Germans choose the Aisne for their
camouflage victory undoubtedly because
it was the least strongly held part of
the front within range of the Teutonic
reserves in western France.
COUGHS WASTE ENERGY
Careful physicians always point
cut that every cough wears human
strength and tears down the body's
resistive powers. 1 he reason
TP
is always best for coughs is that
it peculiarly soothes the tender
membranes while its rich,
creamy food rebuilds the
tissues to avert bronchitis
and lung trouble.

The success of the Germans along the
Aisne must he regarded as the price
the allies are paying for the security
of the channel coast.
It is also an acknowledgement by
Von Hindenburg that he cannot disre
gard the. clamorous cries of the Germans
to be fed with mora tales of victory,
although , sound military policy is
against the sacrifices such futile suc
cesses require. The strategic situntion,
in fact, seems to be getting out of Von
Hindenburg's reach and is becoming
political in its' purposes. This is always
a bad sign and not infrequently is the
forerunner of disintegration.
The Germans have succeeded by the
present operations in cutting the rail
way between Soissons and Bhcims. This
Is an important line of communication,
serving the southern front of the allies
in France. It has been cut, however,
at only one point, Fismes. The sectors
to the east and west are still well with
in the safety zone. The capture of the
environs of Fismes is far from repre
sonting a major success. It may Bet the
Kerlin crowds cheering, but the reaction
will be all the more dangerous when
Berlin has had timie to realize in sober
S'ltnce how meaningless has been the
uew sacrifice of German manhood.

gaged a minimum of twenty five di
visions, beifore which the French and
British ia. the front lines are putting
up a clogged resistance, in ordAr to
permit reserves to intervene and turn
the tide.
The Getiuau attack has expended
the offensive front from Kheinis to the
Flanders mountains, until now it con
stitutes a battle area 300 kilometers
(lStf.3 miles) across.
There is every indication that the
present attack is an iutegral part of
tho original German offensive plan. It
is positively known that during the
winter Ludendortff prepared two great
attacks, ono against Amiens and tho
other against Kheims. He concentrat
ed the necessary reserves a hundred
kilometers (02.1 miles) behind the
lines, u'ti a central point from where
they could be sent at a moment's no
tice ro either point-
Ludendorff leit the choice of which.
sector ho would attack lirst until the
last moment for the purpose of ,con
fusiiMr the alMes. The final choice fell
on Amiens. This being checked, he still
had Ithe Khemis attack to fall back ou.
This is now being carried out in pre
cisely the same manner as the driv
airainot Amiens, the enemy troops arc
said to havo been trained for either
attack.
The reserves concentrated 100 kilo
meters north of Kheims were rushed
to tho front Sunday night in forced
marches. Following a brief but unusu
ally intense bombardment Monday
morning including gns, pii'ked a.nd
specialized assaulting troops, including
the Fourth and Fifth divisions of
Prussians, which led ithe Amious at
tack, leaped to the assault.
The BriitiiA and French retiu-ed in
peilfect order wilthout permitting a
single break in their linea, and indict
ing the heaviest losses on the enemy-
If tho present attack is merely sec
ondary, its principal objedtiv is the
tieimg up of the French reserves to
prevent itheir intervention in the final
great offensive to the northward.
Thci German press recently charged
that tho German ihigh command 'made
a mistake in, not lining up the French
reserves before the Amiens attack.
The Germans' eflt'orts ito conceal
preparations for tho Aisne attack
were fticatei1 than ever before. Ger
man prisoners declare they were
bromrht no under the impression that
they were to relievo trois in tho first
lino and were informed' that the of
fensive wasato be renewed there just
a few hours bcifw the attack, ac'tualiy
began. Prisoners taken several days
before tho attack knesv nothing about
the preparations. On the contrary, tho
French feared an attack lin ts very
region.
