People Given Confused,
Cheerless Comment on
Marne Offensive
"LIKE DRIVE IN ITALY"
By GEORGE RENWICK
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copirloht, , bu .Vcic Vork ritiirn To.
Amsterdam, July 1!.
The German military critics, in dealing
with the new offensive, present confused
and cheerless comments to'their readers.
They are not even sure whether this Is
Hlndenburg's third blow or his fourth
or his fifth. Some say that the enemy
was again completely surprised, while
others will have It that the element of
surprise was absent on thl occasion.
-NV. one shows more than very mod
crate enthusiasm. General von Ardenne.
In the Dusseldorfer N'aehrichten, has no
more cheering comparison to make re
garding the crossing of the Marne than
to liken It to the crossing of Ihe Plave
by the Austro-Hungarlans exactly a
month previously. He adds the pious
hope that time will not prove the com
parlson to be" accurate In further par
ticulars. He holds that the Knte'nte forces were
again surprised, but in article In the
Berliner Tageblatt he shos that he has
is doubts regarding that point. He
hints at tl anxiety caused In Germany
by the long pause In the big scale plan's
of Hlndetihurg and Ludendoff, and
admits the effectiveness of the Kn
tento's activity on other parts of the
ftont. He concludes hy saying that at
the end of the second day the German
effort had not been completely suc
cessful. The Cologne Gazette declares-
"We-could not reckon on the complete
surprise of the enemy, as In March and
ahjo at the Chemln-des-Dames. Kvery
wheretho enemy, stood In readiness In
order to offer determined resistance at
the first tign of the attack."

War Correspondents' Headquarters on
the Western Front, July 19. '
While the battle fn Champagne ,1s
being foughl by the French and
American troops the British' armies
from Flanders to the Somme remain
on the alert. The news' of Foch'a
dramatic counter-blow between Sola
sons and Chateau-Thierry, with Ha
menace of turning the enemy's right
flank, will have a gr.eat effect on
them. It Is what they have been
hoping for.
It Is 1 nthe. tradition of the Foch
school of strategy which he has had
to deny himself so long because of
enemy superiority in numbers nt the
beginning of the offensive, but now at
last the balance of numbers on the
western front has begun to tip In our
favor, and Foch Is able to Use his
reserves with greater freedom and
surety of striking power. The great
patience of the Frenfh general, -whose
motto Is "attack." was' put to the
severest strain after March 21, when
for many weeks he had to husband his
forces and remain on the defensive,
but yesterday the hour of waiting
passed and, after checking the
enemy'senormous efforts on each side
of Rhelms, he, seized the psychology
cal moment to strike him on the right
wing of the German salient between
the Alsne tnd the Marne.
Much Depends on Battle
The British army's future depends
Intimately on the progress of that
French counter-stroke and on the
necessity of'the Oerman Crown Prince
for more men to replace all those
i dead and bleeding soldiers who He on
the slopes and In the valleys east and
west of Rhelms. He Is as deeply
engaged now as he was ut Verdun,
and cannot ca.ll off the battle which
he began after months of preparation.
Opposite the British front, In some
old French chateau behind the German
lines, far beyond the zone of the Brit
ish gunfire, there is a group of men
who must be reading the reports from
the Crown Prince's' stnff with extreme
anxiety and nervous tension. Chief
among them is Prince Hunnrecht nf
Uavarla, commanding -'the group of
armies against the British front, and
with him are his army commanders
I ana corps commanders, among them
aixi von Arnlm, who was the- oppo
nent of the British in the first battles
of the Somme, and Von Bernhardt,
who. It Is said, has the mo3t passionate
hatred of British among all the Ger
man generals.
These men have been preparing an
other wide offensive ngnlnst the Brit
ish front. They are the men who
have their eyes on the coast ns the
goal of their desires and are ready
even now to make another desperate
bid for It, They have been working
hard since Jhelr previous efforts came
to a dead halt after heavy losses.
The hundreds of thousands of men
under their command have been put
to the utmost strain, building light
railways over the battlefields, making
and repairing roads, digging new gun
pits npd communication trenches nnd
weaving n network of telephone wire,x.
so that on a given morning nil the
material of war shall be at hand for
the assaulting troops and every means
of communication shall be ready for
them.
firrman Preparations Delayed
It all takes a longer time than they I
had hoped to give to the job, because I
they knew every week that enabled thp I
urltlsh to dig stronger lines against
them and reorganize nnd strengthen
their defensive power. Their program
of speed has been slowed down by an
epidemic, of Influenza, which hit them
badly several weeks ago, and spread
with such virulence that many of their

Other things have delayed and weak-
ened them. British airplanes yester
day, as every day for months past, flew
low over their lines and hack areas,

alties and doing destructive work over
their railway's, airdromes, camps and
dumps, nnd the British guns used every

and "trenches and roads and rail heads,
causing more Casualties and destroying

the German generals who know the value
of time, more delay and greater
demoralization ot the troops holding the
line.
May Take Hnppr-clil'n Men
But Bupprecht and his generals, ready
to begin this offensive against the Brit
ish, have now another anxiety, which
may spoil all their plans and render all
their elaborate preparations useless If
they have not enough men to throw In at
the moment arranged, if this great at
tack east and west of Bhelms had gone
well, he would still have enough men.
and more than enough, to strike with Im
mense strength, such as he Is bound to
have considering the defensive prepa
rations the British have made. But what
If orders come to send divisions tc the
help of the Crown Prince, now seriously
Jeopardized by the French counter-blow?
The whole problem of Rupprecht and
his generals' and the history of the next
few weeks rests on that development of
events. If Prince Rupprecht can keep
his armies together the .offensive will
flame along the British front, nnd all
the British soldiers will bo Involved In a
llfe-and-death struggle. If his divisions
are called away to help In that other
battle'these commanders of the German
armies In the north may have to be con- j
tent .with mere holding actions or with j
Inactivity. .
So in the north of this western front
