Amsterdam, July 30. "I'"och can say he willed something great, that he devised a simple and clear plan, thnt he made his preparations ex cellently, nnd that his relume was clev erly executed," declarers the Frankfurter Celtnng. It riuallflea Its frankness by saying that ho underestimated the Ger man Httensth nnd asked his troops, on the whole, to perform the Impossible. Such a (nullification rather falls to the ground In the face of the fact of n con tinued German retreat, but the paper goes on to pay the enemy still further tribute by saying that "never before has the strategy of the western Powers been so united and coolheaded ns during the last few weeks." nnd It frankly admires tho way In which Fneh. while concerned with the German offensive, gathered "at least fifty-two divisions together for an nttnrk. did everything necessary to ex ercise nnd place his fighting troop? nnd then began his offensive nt essential points." Tho writer thinks Illndenhurg will give tip still more ground In order to save his men, nnd concludes: "Every body feels thnt In these weeks we are fighting for the success of our whole campaign of nttnek." The military critic of the Krouz fi tting appears to despair ot tho German capacity for an offensive In the near fu ture. "Just as we have," he save, "weakened the enemy by losses by offensive action up to the present, so It will now be our task to do that by means of defensive" On that point the wnr cnrrepondent of iVorwaerts. having pointed out the I soiitcis of man-power nt the disposal of I the wptern Powers, says: "It is false to 'talk of any effective weakening of the fighting power of the French armv." 1 All that can scarcely he pleasant i reading for the fatherland, so thoroughly schooled of late In the belief that Foch , was no master of war as compared with Hlndenburg nnd I.udendorff : that the German commanders had the Initiative firmly in their grip, nnd that the Gntente I reserves had been completely exhausted at tho various offensives 'since March. 1 Vatx Ml" W"rkcrs Hefume I.liermore 1 alls.

I'nrls, July 30. The more tho German armies' re treat nnd all Its attendant circum stances are studied here the more ap parent becomes to French opinion th extent of the disaster which has be fallen tho aorman armies. Koch's blow on tho encmy'H exposed right flank between Solssons and the Mnrne, It Is now clear, not only brought about the immediate defeat of tho enemy which we are witnessing, hut also brought to naught tho whole grandl oo nnd hitherto successful Herman plans, which have been In tho courso of development for moro than two years. These plans were laid on a colossal, scale and can only be appreciated If we detach ourselves for tho moment from tho Immediate evontx and look at the last year of war moro or less from n philosophical point of vlow, Tho German plans, which have just riccn shattered, undoubtedly began to bo put Into operation with Hlndcn burg's great sti!itclc lotteat of two years ago. At that juncture the Ger mans found themselves nt a standstill In the west, fnced with an enormous and well-equipped llrltlih army. That army, supported ns It was by the French, threatened ot that time, if no other events Intervened, to nttnek the whole German front facing It be tween tho North Sea nnd the British Junction with the French armies. Germans I'eared A Murk But tho Germans, even better than wo. realized that In a straight fight on that front, as things then were, there was everv possibility of a crushing Brit ish victory. It was In tho face .of such a possibility that Hlndenburg drew up tho grent plan which the Germans have been putting Into force ever since. The first stage In the operation of this plan was his great strategic retreat across a wide belt of country In the ex ceptionally strong defensive positions In this rear. This retreat, It mnv now be admitted, completely upset the Allied plans for n general offensive, which had been maturing for many months. It was Impossible for the Allies on their new front, with such a broad belt of devastated country all around them, nnd with no railway, roatts, water sup ply, timber, etc., to be In position to take tho offensive afresh without many months of pteparatlon. Their Plan Fur-reaelilng But delaying tho Allies was a mere secondary, although tho more Immedi ately pressing, feature of the plan. The Germans realized keenly that, heavily involved as they weie on the whole eastern front, they must dispose of Bus sla, nnd, if possible. Italy as well, be fore they could think of seriously tack ling the British nnd French on the west. With the two eliminated, Germany would he free to throw all her forces on tho western front, first against Franco and then ngalnnt the British, be fore the Americans would have tlmo to como In. Illndenburg's retreat two years ago, which puzzled many people and led to so much controversy, had all these fac tors for a foundation. Up to a fortnight ago this plan had been carried virtually in Its entirety Hussin had been elimi nated from tho struggle, for the time being at any rate.

The German drive from St. Quentln against the British on March 21, wo can now see clearly, was only preparatory to what tho enemy hoped would be a final blow at the French. It proved sufficiently successful to render the British Incnpablo for the moment of a real offensive action nnd left the enemy more t.r les? a free hand ns the German- command nssumed to deal with the French. Tho German offensive In April (which was a mere diversion only), In May, June nnd July, followed. The three last named were directed solely against the French, and should, according to the Information In the possepplon tf the German general staff, have proved en tirely successful. It Is exactly on this question of In formation that tho Germans proved to be woefully mlstnken. Their Intelligence service convinced them that the French had only a broken nrmy. thnt their re serves had been used up nnd that neither thn French nr.r tho British were in a position to react effectively. It. Is the custom nmonir the Allies to regard the German Intelligence service as super efficient and our own ns mediocre In character. For the time being silence Is Imposed, but future years may show to what extent the Ger man defeat we are now witnessing has been due to the obscure nnd thankless, hut devoted, tireless and magnificently clever work of the British and irencn intelligence departments.
