EFFECT OF RECENT FIGHTING
GERMAN CALCULATIONS UPSET. ALLIES ABLE TO STRIKE ANYWHERE FURTHER WITHDRAWAL PROBABLE. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received October 11, 10.U0 a.m. LONDON, October 10. General F. B. Maurice, writing in the Daily News, considers that the fighting since the second Marne battle has entirely upset the German calculations. Their object in shortening their line was to economise men, but the only effect has been to force them to spend men at a greater rate than ever, lie calculates that in addition to the 200,000 prisoners since the Marne the German casualties have been about 1,000,000. The great result of all this lighting is that we are able to strike anywhere with greater effectiveness. This was proved in Flanders, for as soon as tin? enemy withdrew men tn reinforce the Argonne-Cliampagne sector we gained ground in Flanders with astonishing ease. General Maurice anticipates a withdrawal of the enemy's centre, but warns against exaggerated liooes or overconfidence, leading possibly to future disappointment.
