Renewal of the great German of fensive finds the Allies better pre pared than they vveie when tho drle which took Kemmel Hill started. A diplomatic representative, of one of the Allied powers said: 'More Im portant than the additional man-power being rushed to Trance from this country and from Engliiwl is the gradual accomplishment of military unity that Is being effected under Gen eral Foch." What he meant was that the mere naming of a supreme commander Is only the beginning of making one 'In gle army out of tho separate military organizations of the various nations The process will not be complete until General Foch has men under him who are accustomed to currvlns out his orders, men perhaps In rmny cases CIIAltt,i:s F.

PHILADELPHIA'S HONOR FLAG counting In this process of unification. I The Germans have pointed the way I to the kind of reorganization that In the end will have to take place In the Allied forces on the west front. When jou read the names of the leading offi cers who are directing the present eupreme effort of Germany it Is llko a roll call of tho east front. Hlndenbuig came from the east front and he has Torought the genera's from the eist front, tho men who know hit, methods and are used to carrying them out, who understand his stile of fighting, to !e-d the great battlo In the west. He has now his own organization. The Gerrmn commind In the west was made over for the big drive that began six weeks ago. ' Reasons for Reorganization There were three reasons for this reorganization, tho desire of an execu tive to have subordinates trained by himself lo carry out his plans, the necessity for using on the west front the skill and experience gained on the east front, and the necessity for hav ing men to lead the fight there who believed they could break through the British lines the need. In a word, of escaping from the "psjchology of the deadlock." This "psjchology of the deadlock" was a very real thing. Both sides were influenced by It. Officers and men had been sitting down before each other for three long vears, and each believed his side and the other side Immovable This feeling was responsible on ths Allied side for tho failure to hav e ade quate positions In the'rrar tb fall back upon In case of attack In overwhelm ing force. It was responsible In the Cambria counter offensive for the fail ure of the Germans to profit by the hole they made. They were too sur prised at breaking through at all to thrust through with force. Hlndenburg met this psychological situation thus: He brought from tho east and put In command In the west men who had been used to breaking through, and who were confident they could break through. Take tho orglnal drive toward Amiens. It was not led by the generals who had been sitting down In front of the .British positions (or months, and perhaps j ears. Ablest Generals Taken From East Von Below, tho general who had engineered the great break through on the Italian front, was put in command of the right wing of tho attacking aimy. Von Hutler, who commanded In the great and successful drlvo at Riga, commanded the left wing; tho Crown Prince's command being ex 'tended over the army of the former Riga conqueror for the greater glory of the Kaiser's heir. Thus the two ablest generals whom eastern front warfare had developed were given the task of breaking up the western deadlock. Between them was a less known easterner, but still an easterner, Von der Tarwltz, In com mand of the ccntei. The roll of offi cers under these generals ts not known, of course, but among the names that have pome Into -"-In It la possible to recognize easterners like Kuehne, of Rumania. Thus, In reorganizing his army for victory, Hlndenburg did three things: He put his own generals Into the high places, he Intrusted the task of win ning to men who were accustomed to winning and he made use of the more varied-experience which the east fiont commanders have had, of open as well as trench warfare, In a battle In which he planned to force, and did actually force, fighting In the open. He fell short of victory, but he did demolish once and for all the Idea of the Inevi table deadlock. It took Hlndenburg many months to make the western German army a Hlndenburg army, and he was aided by the release of his eastern foices, and especially those of his eastern generals. It will be many months , before the Allied army becomes. In a ' similar sense, a Foch1 army, but every week sees progress toward! that end. Publicity Has Aided German Command Publicity has probably aided tho con stant reorganization of the German command. When a general fights well all German knows it, and his road upward is easy. The silence that has rested upon the British and French forces has tended to prevent men de- X veloned by the war from rising and K. obtaining recognition, Kf; English " papers commenting. upcji Wt the removal of General Dough after Itterpoa aeieai ana we aesirucuon or, RICHARD HENDERSON, private, Lau ren", S C ARRMIAM JOSEPH, privat, Gas lord Mich CANADA MANNIE. private, fine Bluff Ark JAMES W SMITH, private.
