The present advance has already
had an important effect upon the
strategic situation. German forces
at Montdidier are now in a very
uncomfortable salient with only one
line of railway to supply them and
that line under crossfire from allied
guns.
It seems likely that a withdrawal
from Montdidier may be necessary
if the Germans cannot force the
French and British back from the
ground taken by them during the
past two days.

General Foch is taking the initiative
which, with the help of American,
French and Rritish trcops he will
maintain.
Certainly the sun shines on our
side of the fence. Fcr the first time
since Russia broke down the allies
no whave a numerical superiority of
the effectives. While for some little
time the number of Americans in
France have given our side the su
periority as to actual numbers, the
recent fighting has brought into line
and support positions Americans in
sufficient numbers the presence of
whim, coupled with the German
losses of the past month, have plac
ed us in a position of superiority in
men ready to fight. It cannot be
said that the American army just
now is as good a fighting machine
as tlie Germans, but we have the
makings all ready and seasoned. To
carry this to a revelation of num
bers would not do at this time.
Scarcity of Fighting Material.
The German army morale is un
questionably weakening so far as
certain elements which make up a
large part of the army is concerned.
Rut disregarding that and putting
all the boches on an equal plane,
when the Germans started their
drive cf July 15, Ilindenburg had
some seventy divisions in reserve
with which to batter his way to
Paris. In the fighting to date since
then the seventy-three German divi
sions have been identified, of which
forty-eight were brought up from
the German reserve. Of these eighty
sixteen were so decimated that they
cannot be used as shock troops for
at least four months. Sour of these
were put out by the Americans. The
Fifth guard division, Fourth Prus
sian guard, Twenty-third and Two
Hundred and Sixteenth. The Ger
mans now face the problem of build
ing up these divisions with a great
scarcity of first class fighting material.
Hindenburg had to draw heavily
on his reserves, it is thus seen. On
the other hand, Foch hardly touch
ed his. Germany now has twenty
frahs divisions. She can use these
for her promised drive against
Rritain. Rut will she? I think she
will not. Ilindenburg dare not take
the chance with these twenty' new
divisions. It would leave him strip
ped of shock troops to meet another
allied attack.
In boastful . terms Germany had
