AMERICAN STRATEGIST'S VIEWS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21
Mr Frank Simonds, in a striking, article in the "New York ' Tribune," states that the;: British thrust threatens the whole German position from, Lille to Verdun. Only bad weather can delay a retreat to the Meuse.
The real meaning of the British strategy is to force a retirement to the Antwerp-Brussels-Verdun line. The British will probably reach Menin and Roulers this year. Although the Rubsian collapse has released many thousands of Germans, they are unable even to hold down the Allies, who are now clearly over the crest of the hill. The Prussian military machine- is slowly and surely going to pieces.
