Military experts assume that the
battie of the Aisne is mow in the
most critical stage. Reviewing
the Government reports and the
opinions of critics one finds that
the Germans are rapidly becoming
the victims of the same strategy
which nearly took them to Paris
-—a vast, tireless turning move-
ment. As the Allies were com:
pelled to surrender the Laon-La
Fere-Rheims barrier by the enor-
mous strength of the encircling
German right, the Germans now
must give up the same barrier or
suffer their right wing to be en-
veloped and crushed.
