-, -   I THE RETREAT ANDI…
 THE RETREAT AND AFTER. j i The warning note with regard to. the coimter-ytroko and tho retreat! has been justified by events. The situation in the Marn^ Salient is a little uncertain today, and perhaps little t4-?-dav provided by that guide and couuieilor the French Lxpert Co-mnieiitat-or. In his message from Paris this morn ing, he says that marked by a. fresh stiffening of the German resistance. North of the; -Ylarne, ou.0 troops found them- selves no longer iaemg isolated rearguard >. but, a coritinucus line of resistance, defended by consider- forces'. Since Monday no kss than live fresh dnhave been! identified on this trout, amongst which are some of the: but. the enemy possess, such as the Guards; Division, which WHS decimated the Americans in the region of Sergy in a vain, endeavour to 'snatch lost territory from them. Thus the young sohliers of Free America worsted the picked troops of Ger- j many at the first encounter. It would therefore oecrn that the German retreat is finished. Never- theless we continue '.o press then1.. vigorously. On the right lnrllk of the Ourcg, we have made some pro- gress Oil the heights north:east of Fere en Tardenois. Towards Ser- intes, south-west, and near liheims, the enemy is violently counter-at- tacking, in order to retake from us Ste. Euphraise; but all his efforts are in vain. The enemy' s eager- ness to regiln, this village is ex- plained. by the fact that this posi- tion commands the valley of Old Ardre, and that any advance of our troops along that river would threaten to take the army of Gen. Von Boehm in reverse. There is no. doubt in the mind of the Commen- ta.tor that the enemy is busily re- organising in his rear, and has HIlt lost all hope of taking his revenge. This would explain the. German official utterances on the retreat north of the Marne. Perhaps the enemy will seek to spring back on the very front on which he has re- treated. Or his present counter- attacks ma,y be designed to retain the bulk of our troops north of the Marne, in readiness for any offen- sive movement on his part while ne tries to break through elsewhere. This, is also tho view of Major- General Sir i\ Maurice, who says in the "Daily Chronicle" to-day that the enemy is quite certain tr try to follow up his practice in the past of bringing the year's.campaign to an end with some showy success which will carry his people through the period of winter gloom and in- activity. "We must kp our eyes skinned if we are not again to ba caught out as we have been afore- time. While we are all thinking of the Americans—witness the crowded streets to-day! We hope fchey will be still more crowded to- morrow—Sir F. Maurice's tribute to our latest allies may be quoted All the other armies now fighting, he are more or less war-weary, and they all contain a high propor- tion of lads Rnd of middle-aged men. Therefore the appearance of a now army in the field, with its eagerness and enthusiasm unim- paired, and composed of the pick of the manhood of a. great nation, must be out of all proportion to itaj numerical strength. It would be j absurd to suppose that anytmng like the million and a quarter of Americans, who we axe told have been shipped west from the United States, have taken part in this battle, cr are anywhere on the front. The military power of America is only just. beginning to make it-self felt, and the most hope- ful and encouraging feature of this battle is that that beginning has been so effective, for it has iv t- bee JL the danger of the Allies driving in the Hanks of the sal'ont which has caused tho Germans to withdraw, as the danger of German progress on cur flanks at Cambrai and in the second battle of Ypret, caused Us to withdraw, but the defeat of the enemy on the south e-rii front by the Franco-Am eric an forces opposed to them. British troops are mentioned as having captured places in the out- skirts of Buzancy, so tha.t they are now operating on both sides of the triangle. The comparatively lavish use of our forces, as the "West- minster Gazette points out, is the best indication that th) threat of Prince Rupprecht's anny opposite the Britih front is regarded as less formidable. That fin6 s'riking force has been, palled to pieces to provide an array for the rescue, of the Crown Prince from his entanglement, A large part of it has g»ne into the vortex of the Marne. The one dis- appointing feature of tie fighting 's that the 'Germans have been able to retreat without the' lost of any large- I number of prisoners, md the pros- pect of trapping big cumbers dim- inishes as wo advance jito the more open country. But the German losses in killed and oounded must have been huge, and tie final effect of the defeat on the iMarne must be to give the Allies the initiative not only in this sector Jut wherever else they choose to seize it..
