GERMAN INTERPRETATION OF LUDENDORFF'S STRATEGY
SIMULTANEOUS PRESSURE FROM EAST AND NORTH.
PIERCING ALLIED ARMOUR BY MANY BLOWS. Australian and N.Z. (Received 10.30 p.m.) ROTTERDAM, June 2. It is believed in German and Dutch circles that Ludendorff's idea is to halt on the Marne and to try to carry out a concentric movement directly westward from the Marne and southwards from Noyon over the Carlepont Plateau.
Writing in the Berlin Tageblatt, General Ardenne says the German plan for the battle follows a theory of disintegration comparable with the method used in firing against apparently impenetrable armourplate, in which many hits close to each other gradually weaken the power of resistance until the plate falls to pieces.
