JITE CONFIDENT
in the 3ritish linies yet has been
achieved by the German rush.
Repeated reports of the participa
tign of American troops in the battle,
presumably with the French on the
British right flank, caused some con
corn. General Pershing nor General
Bliss had reported on this point.
There was much speculation here
today as to the purpose of the Ger
mans in pressing the main attack in
the direction of Amiens. Tile capture
of Nesle, indicated this to be tie apex
of the great wedge that is being
forced into the British lines.
The question raised was whether
the German plan foltelhplated a
swing -to their riglt toward th'e
coast, designed to hemii up all British
forces in i restricted field with the
channel behind them; or a sweep to
ward Paris to their left front.
One view expressed was that .a
b!ow elsewhere might follow the
cliecking of the present drive or even
accomipany It. Advices from Italy
have indicated eneiy concen tratlions
onl that fronit ior soiie t ime past. At

nlts elsetwlere. In Italy, howvever,
livisses of Austrian troops foriierly
tellepied inll issia now are avallable
to st rengthen the Austro-German
Jo'i'e:; for a big ioveient.
Mention to(ay of the allied strate
-ie reserves, not as yet engaged,
ca-Ised soime debate as to the de
velolilllits if the liritish, as it is
expected, bring the German drive to a
halt within a few days. If the front
of the ilt lih proves too firm to he
broken, tlie Germans eventually will
u'each a point of exhaistion- boti of
men011 and supplies.
