Second Phase of Great Battle Has
Died Down.
The second phase of the great bat
tle along the Somme, which the Ger
mans began on Thursday last, has
died down. It lasted .less than three
days, and the fighting has resolved it
self into more or less isolated engage
ments, in which the French and Britl
sish allies have more than held their
own.
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed at the
lower end of the battle zone, which
apparently they are attempting to en
large for the purpose of getting elbow
room- in which to move their vast
masses of troops.
Meanwhile, General Foch, the com
mander-in-chief of the allies, is biding
his time, meeting the German assaults
with powerful resistance, and there
and there conforming his lines to the
necessities of the battle. It is confi
dently stated in Paris that Foch will
not he drawn into any false move-
where each move is of such vital im
portance but will strike with his re
serves at the moment chosen by him.
There may be some significance in
the report that the German emperor
after a conference on the western
front on Saturday with his chiefs. Von
Hindenburg and Ludendroff, intends
to proceed to Rumania. At the out
set of the great German offensive,
when it was sweeping the allied forces
before it, notwithstanding their te
nacious resistance, Emperor William,
it was announced officially from Ber
lin, was in supreme command. That
announcement was regarded at the
time ns evidence that the emperor ex
pect ed a complete and decisive victory.
Since then, however. British and
French and American reinforcements
have come up.
