E222fan i i v,-y; fflSMANS READY I FOR FINAL SMASH Great Teuton Attack Can I not Be Long Delayed, i Allies Believe SEEK EARLY DECISION By WALTER DURANTV Special Cable In Evening Public Ledger Copyright, 1919, bu Xew York Timet Co, (With (he French Annies In the Field, May 13. It Is the Impression here that the great German attack cannot he long delayed. The general opinion which your correspondent has gathered In the course of conversations on the subject Is that the main drive will come north of Amiens. It Is believed that a secondary attack In consider able force will be imde with the ob ject of occupying the nttentlon of the French troops nnd preventing them from moving to the support of their Allies. It Is worth notlngthat In the whole of this war the German policy has been to attack what Is believed to bo the weakest spot. In Rumania, Si beria and Russia everywhere Ger many has followed this plan. Her commanders seem to have the Idea that by overwhelming tho weaker members of the alliance they can bring the rest to the point of seeking peace. ,Accordlns to that great master of the art of war, Napoleon, such a policy Is useless. It was tho cardinal feature of his campaigns that he first attacked and defeated the strongest of his opponents, with the result that the others fell easy victims to his arms. The Germans attack what they think Is tho weakest point, and, per haps, as In tho recent battle, favored by circumstances, they gain a certain advantage. What happens? The French come Immediately to tho aid of the British and reestablish tho situation. Knpmj: Ha Little Cfinnre That was the case when Germans had the great Initial advantage of surprise. Now that that factor Is no longer possi ble, and t.cw that, above all. Koch Is supreme commander of all the Allied forces, with power to move French, British or American divisions about the war chess board as occasion demands, the enemy has little chance of again piercing the line and upsetting even a single one of the Allied armies. Yet, despite the iWperate oilds against them. It Is likely that the Ger man leaders will make one more sav age attempt to win a decisive victory All available Indications show that they are assembling their utmost possible strength for the coming effort. "He wants to end It" is the expression one hears 'dally. (A French soldier always speaks of the enemy In the singular: "le boshe" never "They" or "I.hs boches.") Yesterday I visited the camp In w hlch are confined the German prisoners cap- tureu in the most recent fighting. I talked with a German who had spent five yeirs as a pastry cook In Hrooklyn. He boasted that tho war would end within three months with a German victory, and when asked the reason for his belief, replied, "Because the Kal ser, Hlndenburg and Ludendorft say so." I asked whether he shared this lm Pllclt faith In the German leaders. He shrugged his shoulders and answered: "Anyway, the German people, the army and civilians alike, bellee It, and that is what counts after all." Huge Assault Coming The Impression conveyed by this con versation and by other information I have received is the same the Ger man army Is about to mako a huge as sault on a scale at least equal to that of March 21, by which It hopes to bring about the end of the war. To one who views the situation dis passionately it seems that tho trump cards, i. e , the absence of the surprise element, the failure of the previous effort, German Inferiority In man-power and artillery, the Allies undoubted -mastery of the air, and, last and greatest, the unity of command under Foch, are all In the hands of the Allies. Yet Hlndenburg and Ludendorft are about to take the chance. Why? There Is only one answer: Because they can not do otherwise Despite their victories against the weaker Allies, they havo failed to beat down tho principal forces of their opponents. Now by dread of the future which can be spelled In the one word "America" and by difficulties at home, they are at last forced to make their final throw against odds for de feat or victory. The French and British are more than ready for them, and at last, which should be the source of supreme satis faction at home, American troops are in line prepared to take their part In the final battle for civilization and democracy. & Mw': $i!s ATTACK AT OSTEND FORESEENBYENEMY Harbor Was Brilliantly Illu minated When Vindictive Made Her Dash pHtniAi BRITAIN PRAISES U.

More details of the exploits of the crew of the Vindictive and those of the craft accompanying her In her dash Into Ostend harbor are available. The fallowing narrative Is that of a member of the expedition who had exceptional opportunities to observe all that hap pened. "Whn the Vindictive, accompanied by the flotlla, left t)9er Harbor Thursday night fo.- Ostend," ho said, "the array of shipping made a fine sight as It ex tended out across the channel and the vessels skillfully took up the forma- Hon which had been allotted them. It was a calm, clear night when we went out, with the sea almost as smooth as glass and the sky Just swept with fleecy clouds. The Vindictive, with her three tall funnels, was the feature of the raiding fleet, and showed every Indica tion of rough handling In the Zeebrugge Mole fight j but she had been sand, bagged and protected In various ways, to give tho crew the best chance of safety "Accompanied hy the flotilla, sh went straight across to Dunkirk Ttoads, the vessels traveling at a comfortahle rate of speed When we got across, the channel the weather became hazy,' hut this was an advantage to us. We steamed away from Dunkirk roadstead between midnight and 1 o'clock for the last stage of the great adventure. Tho Vindictive looked to be traveling quite slowly as she made her way along In the direction of her goal As we steamed along the German searchlights seemed to be everywhere, sweeping around In arcs, but they seemed to miss our ships for the time Ostend Harbor was brll- llantly lighted by powerful searchlights n,i u !, tji: -r nfn of Artificial fog clouds were being used sued by the Belgian War Office at fo ls. our operat0n, ami tno fnct Havre on Sunday night. that It was hazy materially nsMsted the Thero is artillery activity of vary- success of these, ing intensity along the Hclgian front, I Haider soon Discovered I "As the Vindictive neared Offend It rrnii ,v T rvre TUHYWIV" lbccame apparent that tho Germans had lxttKlMAl Lltbft 1 nlAiMiXr got wind of our presence, for suddenly nnniciTr it c rnniUTC there was a regular pyrotechnic display Url Ubl I la U.

(The Somme and Albert sectors are on the Picardy front, opposite 'Amiens, while the district between Locon and Nieppe Forest is about midway on the Flanders front.) Belgian troops raided a German position north of. Dixmude (Flan ders), said an official statement is- With the Amerlran Army In Lorraine, May 13. Information gleaned from German operations opposite tfie American fronts Indicates a thinning of the enemy lines because of tho drains on German re sources from Picardy. The American Kectors aro far enough apart to Justify deductions regarding tho German predicament through this scarcity of man-power. American patrols found Ancervlller (In the Lunev-Ula sector, three miles north west of Badonvlller) deserted. It had been a former German outpost and tho scene of much patrol lighting.

Thero aro no German tilanes over tho American positions any more. Although hut milto undesirable from our point of view Immediately guns of all blzes opened fire on us, and there was a ter rific din. "The Vindictive and one or two other vestels received hits, and a few casual ties were caused by this gunfire. The P.rlng was heavily returned by our ships. Most of the crew of tho Vlndlctlve'were taken off when the ship was at a little distance from tho Ostend piers, only a rew otiicers ana men nemg lett to navi gate her between the piers and sink her there. A motor launch which was assist ing In picking up the crew was hit sev eral times by shell fin., and was In a sinking condition when It came along side tho Admiral's vessel, the destroyer Warwick, to which they were trans fi rred. Tho motor launch had extensive damage In the forepart, and by order of the Admiral was sunk, as It was ap parent that It could not get back to Dover. Thero was a heavy explosion when the Vindictive sank between the pltrs. "It was splendid to see the Admiral during the operations. From the bridge of the Warwick he followed fully all operations with the greatest keenness and with courage that was absolutely iiiiccuous. .as tne men from the Vln sneclal German snuanron arrived to punish the American aviators, the enemy planes aro chancing no combats, except far behind, the bocho lines.

By WALTER UURANTY Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Conirlflhf, JPM, by .Vein l'nrfc rimes Co, With the French Armies, May 13. Your correspondent yesterday visited a detachment of French, tanks which have taken an active part In the opera tions which led to tho retaking of Sens- cat wood en April IS Properly speaking, the tanks are known In the French nrmv ns nrtlllery of nssault. Like tho artillery, they are divided Into squadrons nnd batteries. At present they do not form a separate branch of service, and the personnel Is recruited from ths artillery. Infantry, cavalry, and even the navy, but their crews wear a special badge In tho form of crossed cannon surmounted by an artillery helmet. The officers In charge emphasized par ticularly the great need for thorough ad vanco training In co-operation between tanks and Infantry In this respect every day of the six weeks I have now spent with the French armies confirms tne more strongly In a belief which Is not without Interest to America, namely, that from A to Z this now- Is a war of specialists.

If there has been any tendency in America to wonder why our troops re quired such a lengthy period of prepa ration, here Is an answer whose cor rectness has been dearly proved by the expenditure of French, British and Ger man blood. Artillery, Infantry, avia tion. It's everywhere the same story success goes not to the bravest or even to the best-equipped, but to those whose training and discipline are most com plete and whose teamwork and mutual Interasslstance Is most thorough and effective. A story told mo of the Senecat bat tle proved this theory to the hilt. If further proof were needed. In the see tor of attack where tanks and In fantry were able to keep in touch, ac cess was rapid and complete. The tanks destroyed machine gun nests which might have, held up the Infantry, and the Infantry prevented hostile grenadiers and special troops armed with "anti tank" bullets of unusual penetrative force from Interfering with the advance of the tanks. Tho officers spoke enthusiastically of the keenness and quickness to learn of four young ofllcers of the American army attached to their unit for Instruction. "lllght at the outset they turprlsed us by their almost Instinctive grasp of the mechmlcal problems Involved," said tho commander. "In that vitally Important respect they hirdly needed any teaching. But that thev should so soon compre hend the system of maneuvering and co operation with the Infantry was hardly to be expected from men who had not had long previous military training. We are delighted with their progress, and I am certain that America will before long give the boche a startling lesson In the use of nssault artillery "In couraco and elan, which are per haps tho most needed qualities for nn nssault artillery commander, your boys nro magnificent They were bitterly dis appointed that I was unable to permit them tn take part In the Senecat affair, although they had been with us only a few davs when It took place."
