PRESENT ATTACK SECOND
PHASE OF HUN OFFENSIVE
tneral Foch is
all
lir I ing to
With the French Armies in the
Field, May 28.—The German attack in
the Soissons-Rheims sector extended
the offensive Pont from Rheims to
the Flanders mountains, until it now
constitutes a battle area 300 kilome-
ters (lf»6.b miles) across.
There is every indication that the
present attack is an integral part of
the original German offensive plan.
It is positively known that during
the winter Ludendorff prepared two
great attacks—one against Amiens
and the other against Rheims. He
concentrated the necessary reserves a
hundred kilometers )62.1 miles) be-
hind the lines, at a central point from
where they could be sent at a mo-
ments notice to either point.
Ludendorff left the choice of
which sector he would attack first un-
til the last moment, for the purpose
of confusing the allies. The final
choice fell on Ameins. This being
checked, he still had the Rheims at-
tack to fail back. on. -This is now bc.-
ing carried out in precisely the same
manner as the drive against Ainiens.
The enemy troops apparently had
been trained for either attack.
The reserves concentrated a hun-
dred kilometers north or Rheims were
l'ushed to the front Sunday night in
forced marches. Following a brief
but unusually intense bombardment

ed and specialized assaulting troops,

tying up of the French reserves to
