Escent events have made it. quite clear that we have at length escured the whip hand of the enemy here, despite the fact that he kiss ranged against the British and French troops quite two-thirds of his Army, Germany is, without a doubt, staking all, even at this time of day, on the hope of smashing the Allies in the West, and if possible, of staying the onrush of the Anglo-French soldiera; . But the task was now become an utterly hopeless one, as the German High Command must clearly recognise. The most that the enemy can do is to prolong the agony, to postpone the day when he must admit fall and final defeat.”
