with the ground on which the cen
tral powers and the allies are now

"The German army has been de
creasing in quality and the British
has been increasing all of the while
and we will be at the top of ouri
strength this summer. We are past
the Hag-waving v and band-playing
stage and are down to grim deter
tfiiAation." he stated.
Three times last year he was in
the first line and was in the Hin

gave up at the time of the HirdenA

Optimistic Over Outcome.
The liritish visitor attaches siKnifi
cance to the fact that the German em
peror and Hindenburg were reported
as being at the front. He is optimistic
over the ultimate outcome and would
think of nothing but an allied victory.

might leave the French left en the
Aisne front unsupported. Retirement
there would bring the battle lines
closer to Paris.
Thousands Taken Prisoner.
German reports that 25,000 prison
ers had been taken were regarded aa
not at all improbable. The capture
of certain points on the first defensive
system probably was what made the
sector of the line abandoned by the
British tyite&able. and started the
withdrawal Presumably the 16.000
men said by the Germans to have
fallen into their hands yesterday are
included in their new figure of 25,000
prisoners. The first captures un
doubtedly were made when the front
lines were breached. The remainder
probably is composed of rear guard
units leftin position to hcjM off the
enemy until the British withdrawal
under fire bad been accomplished,
then to surrender. '
The Germans themselvea . lost
50,000 or more prisoners to the
KFreneff and British in the withdrawal
on the Somme alone, and a great
number also were taken in the retire
ment from the Marne during the first
year of the war.
Officials were hopeful that tomor
row's retiort would show clearly the
German objective and steps to offset
it. They are beginning to look for
counter blows by the allies on other
Sectors. N)w that the Germans are
so deeply involved in their enterprise

they could not spare large

Germans 600,000 Strong.
"For example, south of St. Quentin
one of our divisions had to bear up
against the repeated assaults of no
fewer than six German divisions, pos
sibly 90,000 men, and only when the
assaults ceased with darkness did our
troops withdraw to strong positions
behind the canal system between M
Quentin and the Oise.

Throughout the night the battle

reported this morning that the French
army was now engaged. -

to have been around Roisel and Trin
