Big Attack May Be Foch's Reply to How Peace Note
Washington Sept. 11 military officials expect another German counter move to the peace proposal. A major offensive may unfold along multiple fronts including Flanders La Fere toward Laon and the St Mihiel sector with Foch leading. Observers note British activity north of Ypres and speculation grows of a French Allied pivot aimed at forcing German withdrawals from the Chemin des Dames. A Briey iron field thrust toward Metz may precede a Verdun encirclement with Pershing possibly coordinating a joint American French attack.
