Maurice Depicts Turn of War in Sunday's Tribune HOW THE GENIUS of General Foch, supported by the courageous coura-geous initiative of other allied leaders lead-ers and made effective by the valor of soldiors of the entente, blasted Germany's hopes and turned General Gen-eral Ludendorffs triumphant march upon Paris to a retreat which ended only with the armistice is told in the article by Major General Sir Frederick Maurice, chief of operations opera-tions of the British army, to appear in tomorrow's issue of the Tribune. In clear and concise manner, the writer shows that for the second time the River Marne proved fatal to German hopes and that Pari3 was relieved of the menace which ha.d hung over her for six weeks, A remarkable coincidence, it is declared, de-clared, that twice, confident of victory, vic-tory, the Germans should have crossed the Marne, neglecting to protect their right flank, and that twice a blow against that neglected flank should have brought their offensive of-fensive to ruin. High praise of the moral effect the dashing valor of the Americans had on the allies is given by General Maurice, in what probably is the most interesting of his series of remarkable re-markable analyses of the war.
