If General Foch succeeds In saving Amiens, and In preventing the Germans from cutting the Amieiis-Paris railway, he will have accomplished all that can be reasonably asked of him at this time. Delay In starting a counter-offensive against the Germans Is proper under tho circumstances. It Is not probable thai British, French and American public opinion would consider th recovery of the recently lost area In western France worth the sort of slaughter that Von Hlndenburg has lust Inflicted on his awn troops. The Oerman autocracy can ruin Herman's man Dower without protests from hpme, but democrstlo Governments do not do those things. Tha immediate retirement of the Ger mans to their former positions is not strategically necessary from th military i standpoint or the Allies. Tne principal reason fdr Its accomplishment would be the strenithenlntf pt the Allies' morale, which ought to be, and In fact, la neccs nary Present developments more and more suggest that a waiting policy may sett the Allies? needs better than an adoption ot Von I (Indenture's) strategy of slaughter.

Answering this.
