to St. Quentin, the capture of such posit- 3

ions as Hargicourt, Epehy and other less familiar names, but all forming iniportantfl defences in the Cambrai St. Quentin sec-,u tor, is in itself an evidence of the stupend-_O ous drive that almost in a day, placed the 3 British troops in possession of ground oc- 0 cupied by the Germans since 1914.

Since the beginning of the American n

drive on Metz the British and French_have a been nibblingat German positions of tae-' tical importance along the main western

line and the blow announced in our tele- g

grams yesterday would imply that they have stopped nibbling and begun .to bitent And the bite was a fierce one. ip The most important stroke for several

days previously on the Hindenburg liiie g was the French effort to penetrate farther 1

east toward Anizy. Marshal Foch was ev- idently seeking, in local actions, to press home the threat of a turning of the Che- fl min des Dames, and to force a German rn- 1

treat from the Aisne to the north bank of 3

the Ailette.Probobly the cleaning up of this southern sector was necessary as a prelim- inary to the renewed heavy smash he had in contemplation, a smash designed to shove the Germans completely out of the Hindenburg lines. All local operations for

several days seemed to point the way for a'

clearing up of minor obstacles to a big thrust to come perhaps toward the end of this month, or in October but it has comil sooner evidently than the Germans ex-

pected. I

In June and July, when the Germans

were striving to batter down Allied resist-

ance in front of Amiens and Paris, Mar-‘

shal Foch caused it to be intimated that no major offensive was expected by the Al-

lies before October. This may have been°a'

blind for the Germans, but Foch seems to regard the shoving of the Germans back to the Hindenburg line as the curtain-rais-

er to a much more important effort. Sir' Douglas Haig says the German effort is

spent. The Allies can look forward confid- ently to continuous pounding of the Ger- mans at will. Now that the American forc- es are in action, and will increase con-

stantly in power, Marshal Foch can safely,

take the risks of a great effort to dislodge the Germans from their Hindenburg\dc- fences. If he can this Autumn break them on their declared stand, the chances of a

tionally violating the Government’s re- quest_ They were able to obtain some gas- oline as a result. _

At one point, however, they ran shor

of oil and on approaching a garage dealer he turned them down curtly.

To make matters worse they were ap-

prehended by a traffic policeman as they pulled out of one little town. He claimed they were exceeding the speed limit of 20 miles an hour. It was no use to argue. They were taken before the magistrate, who fined them, despite their eloquent plead- ings. The magistrate let them know in plain language what he thought of them for riding on Sunday in defiance of"the Government’s order.

This is the Unted States attitude.Should

ours be less patriotic? It is hoped that to- morrow will witness such a general com- pliance with this reasonable request that there shall be no further need of any talk about compulsion. I

collapse in the home morale of Germany during the Winter will be much increased.

The principle of Foch’s strategy in driv-

ing the Germans back is lkely to be retain- ed for the future. That is, beginning with impression that the city is lacking in nec- a powerful attack on some weaker or more_ essary accommodation. The few cars av- vulnerable sector, thebattle will spread by ailable for hire are dong all they can and degrees to other sectors, until the Ger- doing it satisfactorily, the trouble is that

The Deputy Fuel) Controller speaking of'_

mans are involved in a. series of tactical disadvantages amounting in all to a strat; egic disaster. Foch’s policy of constantly shifting his tactics, according to openings presented, keeps the German Staff con- stantly perplexed, and demoralizes its carefully prepared plans for defence, The German system always puts the local com- mands in difficulties in case something, goes wrong with the general plan, and Foch is well aware of this defect. We may see a new powerful stroke at Lille, and through Flanders, to turn the Hindenburg line at its northern end, and then renew- ed efforts on the south flank following im- mediately I on the heels of the gigantic! smash now in progress between Cambrai and St. Quentin.

there are not enough, Within the next few weeks there will be many visitors in the city, attending the Exhibition and, later, the Maritime Synod. Attending the latter there will be some 300 clergymen and laymen, many of them no doubt bringing their wives. Neither the visitors to.the Exhibition nor tothe Synod are coming exclusively for the sake of see- ng the exhibits or attending church courts. Many of them will want to seé the city and surroundingdcountry and those who have cars for hire will no doubt be kept busy. It would be well if those in the business could add more cars especially for busy sea- sons and also agree among themselves as to rates. The rates per hour, , we under- stand, are uniform but there are discrep- ancies with regard to long distance charg-

es which- might be made uniform to' the advantage o all concerned. A published
