That (?ermany Will Strike Blow at \} Any Moment. i" \ ' r ALLIES ARE PREPARED * There is Still Danger of Another s ** Attack Against Italy From I the Mountain Front on the Italian Line. (Friday.) The British troops in Flanders and the French forces further south | apparently have Anticipated the proposed German drive "toward the I hnglish ch.inhel ports or Paris and struck first. Although slight details of the maneuvers thus far have heen revealed, the allied troops caught the enemy unawares at salient points, and driving swi.tly forward, took tertian which have heen of considerable value as the starting points of enemy attacks.** ' n addition a comparatively largA\. lumber of prisoners uni^ftftiurhinc 'guns were left in the nhnds of the allied troops. The attack of the British was de II* ("It'll clIHMII mill llt'l \\ tM'II llil/it"V brouck and Hethune on a front of i' nearly three and a half miles over ; territory which the Germans recently o *. have been deluding with shells. Altogether the attack was productive of an average gain of ground to a depth of nearly a mile, and Included the taking of several small hamlets. /' It is not improbable that the Oer- ( ,1 mans in a proposed offensive in this (a region had set their hearts on the ' /capture of St. Omer and the railway line running thence to Calais and Duukirk. ?The stroke of the French troops was over still a greater front four and a half miles?and at points also I penetrated enemy positions to a \ goodly depth, at some points a mile /and a uuaiter. The evident intention was further to block the gateway to Paris through the VillersP Coteretts region. IV Fortifier! Positions Overwhelmed. 'i From the Amblemy to the cast of Montgobert the French carried out i A their offensive and overwhelmed ^ strongly fortifledd positions of the enemy along the entire front. Hesides the heating bark of the enemy. V more than 1,000 Germans fell into 1 the hands of the attacking force. \ Although the points of attack Y were separated by about 100 miles i \ the maneuvers seemingly had been k well considered by General Foch, the B \ allied commander-dn-chl^f, as they Wj were carried out synchronously The * 0 strategy of%the double stroke is apparent^ hen it is realized that a successful German thrust where the British struck would have menaced the channel ports or a similar move In the south would have placed the French capital Jeopftrdy. The Berlin official communication issued Friday evening made note nf . the allied thrusts by declaring that . ( the Germans were busily engaged In V attempts to repulse them.
