DIVORCE SUIT IS HINDENBURG URGING © TENANTS GET SPEED IN RETREAT) RENT SLICED J. W.T. Mason | | NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—The be ginning of cold weather along the western battlefront and the progress of the Americans toward the Luxemburg exit from France are causing Von Hindenburg to speed up his retirements at the rink of los ing control over his fleeing troops. The present rate of abandonment of territory in Belgium and North western France far exceeds the | rapidity of any previous retrograde | movement since Von Hindenburg started to withdraw to the German frontier. May Cause Rout Tt im exceedingly dangerous for the Germans to move backward #0 preeipitately because of the ponut bility of cynfused congestion on a large scale, developing into a rout It is just such a condition of ter. rifying haste against which Von Hindenburg has been strategically working since his methodical re Unquishment of Germany's con. quered territory began Nevertheless there are growing evidences that the delays in the re ring movement for the purpose of giving encouragement to the German troops have been overdone, If snow were to fall in France and Belgium before the Germans got back to thelr boundary, the diffi culties of removing the artillery ——————# | would be very great; the infantry | would have a lemened degree of efficiency in rear guard combat and the concealment value of machine gun positions In the revealing white- snow would be much de ness of t creamed.

Pershing cut off the; German retreat by way of Luxem burg, but also the constant vigor ot the American assaults is compelling | | Von Hindenburg to assemble most | of his active forces behind the 20. mile front from the Argonne to east of the Meune. This means that whether or not the Americans cut the Luxemburg | line, they are forcing Von Hinden: | burg to use a far greater proportion | of his forces along the Argonne Meuse line than he can legitimately afford. To find these troops he ts com peliel to weaken his retreating front in Western France and Bel gium, thus making {t increasingly possible for Marshal Foch to break thru there. Under these highly dangerous conditions the Germans are compelled to risk speeding their shuffle into a run to get back home in the quickest time possible.
