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

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.
T]int the allied forces are not to
be caught napping by the Germans
