Paris, Sept. 30. Marshal Foch is
fighting five battles simultaneously
and successfully a feat unparallel
ed in the history of war.
Each battle is so timed that each
army supports the other, all forming
an indispensable part in the whole
effort.
General Grant's idea of a continu
ous concurrent attack by a multiplic
ity of forces on many fronts is being
carried out by the allied generalis
simo. There are five battles today; there
may be six tomorrow, all interrelated
and working as smoothly as the cyl
inders of a well adjusted automobile
engine.
All are directed to the same end
to wear down the enemy's strength.
Marshal Foch knows when to strike
the enemy a blow. He is still fight
ing well.
Expert commentators agree that
the enemy's withdrawal to a shorter
line, probably that of Antwerp, Brus
sells, Mezieres and Metz, is immi
nent. Some believe he has hung on
too long and that he will have great -difficulty
in preventing his retreat
from regenerating into a rout.
