FOCH'S GREAT GENERALSHIP
GENERAL MAURICE ON NEW ATTACK.
(Rec. September 14, 2 p.m.) LONDON, September 13. General Maurice says: The most remarkable feature of General Foch's generalship is the way in which he has kept his offensive alive. He has done this while continually extending his front. The attack on St Mihiel salient, says General Maurice, is twenty miles "wide. The backbone of this salient is the ridge Cotes de laf Meuse. which* is a defensive barrier, and which is linked up with the fortresses of Verdun and Toul. When this ridge is faken, as it seeing probable that it will, we may look for progress on the Woevre plan. The capture of Thiamourt. near the rirlfrA su<wostß tlmt Oermnv; on the height will soon be cut off. G^od "•"nthor is of great inrnortanc 1 . The TTopT-ro mud resembles that of Flanders.
