THE THREAT TO AMIENSj
THE THREAT TO AMIENSj The War Office last night gave us I the positions now occupied by the British north and cmtb of the ¡ Scapme. From Arras to the' Anere, there has been no change, but to the south of the Somme, the. Ger- mans are west of the village of Hamel. That is to say, they are between eight and ten miles from Amiens. We need not disguise the gravity of the situation. Whilst we are entitled to draw cheer from the failure of the enemy to advance upon Arras, and thue-bring about a big converging movement which would also have the effect of reduc- ing the Salient in his lines, we have N to recognise that the fate of Amiens is in the balance. The w$ekeud wiÚ be critical. M. Clemenceau is reported to ha.v1 said that the German coup hu miscarried. In its main purpose it undoubtedly has. The enemy has not divided the Allies. He has not pierced their line. He has still be- fore him the wonderful living wall that has frustrated his efforts since 1014. But if the momentum of the blow carries him into Amiens, he will make the most of his suc- cess. Perhaps he will find this hope, also, unavailing. So far we have heard nothing of the where- abouts of the Army of Manoeuvres, which is supposed to bo under the command of General Foch. Foch. ifr the genius pf the French Army. He was the spirit behind Joffre when he struck with his "taxi-cab" army from Paris and helped to bring about the victory of the Marnc. —— North of the Sotnme, up to the time of the dispatch of yesterday evening's news, all had gone well, unexpectedly well .But it is a mis- take to assume, as do some papers, that we are practically upon the old front-line. Wo are in some I places a .good deal behind it. Take theearest point the ffi-ermans had reached to Amiens Mericourt I 1 Abbe. In the 1916 days Meri- court ,vas the advanced railhead until tho end of August, and was considered a fairly safe distance be- hind the fighting line. From this point to the north of Thiepval In- deed—with the exception of the un- defined position between Buire and Meaulte, where the Germans seem to be in a particularly awkward salient—-the enemy are anything from one to five miles bevond our original trenches. In the Meaulte sector, for instance, one had to mount the hill behind the town and traverse some two miles of cratered ground, which included what was once the village of Becordel-to be recognised at the end only by its battered church stump-before one came to the old trenches before Fricourt. Now the Germans hold Meaulte, ————— In any case, the old defenceg would have availed us little. They were meant to serve a style of war- fare that has seemingly passed away. But behind them were a series of natural supports, improved by the French oefore we took over the line, that are now evidently giv- ing the Germans all the trouble they ask for. It is early to prophecy, but we think it reasonably safe to say that" You shall not Pass is a motto the British can adopt here. We can turn then, with betteu heart from the war news to the talc of German wickedness unfolded this week in the memorandum of Prince'LichnO'Wsky, the former Ger- man Ambassador to Great Britain. We trust the propaganda depart- ment will promptly see that the whoJe world is acquainted with the story he relates. And that our own Pacifists will read it, and refied- If we need a new stimulus to continue I our effort, it IS here! What in effect is his disclosure of the days before tho outbreak of war? It is that several times Austria was on the point of giving waYI but the German militarists were inexor- able. "We deliberately destroyed the possibility of a peaceful settle- ment, is the Ambassador's ver- dict. He is certain that it would have been easy tOt find an accept- able solution of the points left in dispute between Austria and Serbia at the end of the first ten days of the negotiations, and that, "given goodwill, everything could have been settled in one or two sittings-" <6 \Ve pressed for war," "we in- sisted on war," says the Ambas- sador; an obdurate refusal was re- turned to all Sir Edward Grey's im. ploring demands for "a hint from .Betlin in favotu: of pMe. Thus by the will of Germany the world was forced to the tragic climax. Just when conversations had been resumed between Austria and Russia, and there seemed to be a new and a good chance of keep- ing the pesee, the Germans de- livered their ultimatum to Russia on the plea tha* she had mobilised her forces as Austria herself had done, and as Germany had dope in effect, though not in form! The paltriness of this excuse is fiBaMy exposed, as one Analysis of the dis- closures says, now. that we know that Germany was from the be- j gmnmg determined to foree war on Russia. Reviewing the whole case, the Prince is not surprises that the whole civilised world outside Germany attributes to us th sole guilt for the worl(I-w k" ,I,r..
