WORST IS OVER FOR
PRESENT, SAYS SIMONDS
? ?Frank
II. Simomls, America's foremost
military critic, whose reviews of
the war situation are appearing regularly
in the Charleston News and
Courier, gives a clear summary of affairs
in France as they are to-day.
The following is a part of his review:
The end of the first week of the
German drive is marked by the an- j
nouncenient of a substantial check of
the enemy along the whole front, j
This coincides exactly with the expe
rience of the earlier drives in Picardy
and in Flanders, and barring an accident?always
possible in war?it
seems safe to say that for .the moment
the worst is over, and that the
present German offensive with relatively
slight further gains will be
pinned down between the Oise and
the Marne as the Picardy drive was |
pinned down between Noyon and I
Arras. To use the phrase of Foch j
two months ago, the German flood '
again appears dammed.
Hut it is essential ^o recognize that '
a second German blow is, now almost
inevitable. The highest estimate of
German divisions used in the present
attack does not pass fifty, and it is
a matter of common agreement that
at least an equal number are available
for a new drive wherever the
German high command may choose
to put them in and we may safely
guess that the German blow will be
uenvereci against. mm portion ui ine
line which has been most weakened
to meet the present emergency.
It is manifest that the Germans
have devised or developed a method
of attack which seems bound to transform
the whole character of operations
at the present time.
German successes so far analyzed
and weighed by comparison with the
previous efforts in three years of
trench warfare have made a profound
impression upon the Allied mind. It
is impossible to escape the fact that
a wave of pessimism and depression
has followed the several advances
made by the Germans.
The events of the past ten weeks
shed a new light upon the eastern
operations of Germany. It is clear
now that German successes against
Russia, against Rumaniu, against Serbia,
were due not merely to the fact;
that Russian, Rumanian und Serbian
armies were inferior to French or
British, thnt artillery and munitions
of the eastern allies were inadequate
It is beginning to be patent that in
their eastern operations the Germans
devised a system of warfare which,
tried in the west, first against Italy
last fall, now in France in Picardy,
Flanders and Champaigne?has proven
effective beyond all expectations.
But this was the history of the first
campaign of the Marnc. From the
f?th of August, when the first German
troops appeared before Liege, to the
fith of September, when the battle
of the Marne opened German successes
were uninterrupted and the total
destruction of the Franch military
power seemed inevitable. Yet in
point of fact, as we now know no
French army was destroyed, the organization
of French armies remained
intact, and thus, even before the battle
of the Marne, the main German

purpose had failed as was revealed
in that gigantic struggle.
Now it is essential to remember j
mat, despite the local considerable, ^
disappointing successes of the Ger-1
nans in their new campaign, they J v
have so far failed to destroy any ap- h
preciable portion of the Allied miii- j c
tary force, which was equal in num-1 ?
hers to the Germans at the outset. !
We may conjecture that the Allies I
strategy has been defective, that 1
there has been a failure to hold the ?
Germans on the trench lines from <
Nieuport to Khcims, comparable with i
the failure in 15)14 to hold the Ger- a
mans between Mons and Mulhauscn,
but. the defeats of 1018.have been far c
less disastrous than those of 1011, a
and those earlier reverses turned out r
to he indecisive. I
There is a balance to be struck in r
the minds of all who are watching e
this great struggle between an ex- v
agguration of the enemy's successes a
and an inaccurate appraisal of the o
value of his achievement. He has i
| two things to accomplish; he must
' conquer the will and the morale of I
the French and Hritish people and he <i
must smash their military establish- t
mints. He must do it during this t
season of campaigning, and after a I
1 third of his allotted time has expired v
he has done neither, lie has not been l
more successful in eastern France c
than was Napoleon in IS Id in eastern
Germany, yet Napoleon lost Leipsic <
and the Germans crossed the Rhcin '
.it the end of 181d.
The German is paying for his gain !
by losses which equal, if they do not '
exceed, the cost to the Allies, and 1
each month tho allied losses are he- '
ing made up in large measure by the '
arrival of American troops, while the 1
German is compelled to draw upon v
his own population to meet his losses. '
Some day he must risk all in an ef- 1
fort to translate his locul successes c
into a supreme victory. In the days I
of the Marne he hud used up his re- *
| serves in advance of the decisive hat- '
tie. This is the peril for hint now, v
and this is the object of Koch's strategy.
If the minor successes cost the '
Germans too much they will be un 1
able to deal the great blow at the end
Kor the present moment the Get
man advance has approached, but no.
quite reached, the old battlefield ol
the Ourcq, where Mantnotiry opened
the battle of the Marne. The French
lines now rest upon the great forests
of Compiegne and Villlers Cotterets;
'.he flanks are securely resting upon
the Oise and the Marne. Time ba<been
allowed Foch to concentrate ad-j 1
equate reserves between I'aris and
the imperiled front. The railroads in
this region were constructed to meet
exactly this situation and every advantage
of communication is now
At-- r.v ? *
.vim ine r rencn. unless the situation
changes it seems fair to conclude
that the operution between the , '
Oise and the Marnc is reaching its i
term, and what we have now to ex-' '
poet is the second German blow, de- '
livered soma where between Verdun '
and Ypres. Until this blow has fallen 1 '
the situation will remain j?rave, but |
, in the present hour Pnris is not in

been marked by a rapid slowing down '
of the third German blow.

Lord Dunmore declared he did i

"Our task is to defeat the Gern
irniies in the field," he emphasiz
'It is not beyond our power."
"This is a battle that whatever

Speaking then of America's mi

"You Americans," he added, "i

"It is its grave as it is possible

Germans may break through the (i

dently, "they will not break the .
