THE WESTERN
WAR FRONT HAS
A DIFFERENT
PHASE
! (By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS)
( United Press Staff Correspondent )
i WITH BRITISH ARMIES AFIELD
! The war on the western front has
now entered into a nev phase pro.
Itably its last stop. ;
j The fighting there now is hs different
from what it was in 1!14-15H." as it i
possibly could le.
First there was an open warfare
when the Germans overswept Belgium
: and France. The segond jfante w as
that a trench . fighting, which slowly
developed until the talking of a single
trench operation has proved to 1 a
"big" Waterloo. j
Practically now ewpry me sees the
Isattles in the open "ipwnrry with the
enemv eniraeinsr in a sort of rear sruard
action, which when fully evpanded
win mean a I'lussian rout.
Only a sudden collapse of activities
can prevent the curtain to fall on the
Kaiser's three act drama.
Not siniv the Crown Prince broke
his eaglet feathers against Verdun,
more than a year ago. have the Ger
mans dared a real offensive.
Since the battle of Somuie
Marshal Hiudeuburg has leen
on the defensive. His present methods
of fighting are a direct outcome of his
gropings in finding the means by which
he may hold out.
