The other divisions were good trench divisions, and held normal divisional fronts; a few were kept behind the ines an reserves. The fortification of our positions was, of course, not far advanced; bigh corn obstructed the view tn front of and still more within them. Influenza was prevalent, but not more so here than anywhere else along the front. The attack that had been announced never took place, and I hoped that th news wo have thoroly aroused the men The army group of the German crown prince emphasized the neces BILLIE who is every young man’s ideal of what his sweetheart ought to be, in sity all our Offensive front I was always in touch with the headquarters of the armies detailed for the attack. Above all, I wna anxious to know if, in their opinion. or in that of the troops, the enemy had any knowledge of our prepara tions. They thought not, and only on the Marne was the artillery fire more lively, PRISONERS TOLD HIS PLANS I had especially that |no reconnoitering was to be carried lout on the southern bank of th Marne, but in spite of my warning a ploneer officer swam over and was captured. As we found out after the battle, he gave away much informa. tion to the enemy. Acting re of the heavy artillery, who fell into the hands of the enemy the Ardre acted in the same way, In some places the entente made raids and took prison but I do net know what information was gained in this way. It js also a fact that an attack on | Rheims was discussed in the most ir responsible way thruout rmany; and, to my great regret, it was or |later that I received many letters from home on the subject. W! meassages sent out by the enemy after the battle also plainly indicated that pointed out on less they had earl of our plan.

(Gen, Gouraud, learning from Ger man prisoners of the plan of attack, tly withdrew his army on the whole line east of Khetms, leaving only machine gun parties tn bomb proof shelters. The German bombard ment and barrage fell on the aban Joned trenches and when the enemy troops advanced they were met by a hurricane of fire from the machine gun nests and Gouraud’s artillery.) By noon of the 16th the general headquarters had given orders for the suspenaion of the offensive of the first and third armies, and for their organization for defense by with drawing certain divisions for this} purpose. A continuance of the offeh- | sive would have cost us too much. | We had to content ourselves with the | improvement in our position, brought | about by regaining possession of the| heights we had lost in the spring of | 1917, and we had even secured a deep | forward zone. The troops that had | bean withdrawn were at the disposal of the group of the German crown | prince Omof general headquarters as reserves. I considered it of the great ost importance that they sbould be} available as s00n as pommibia Once the difficult decision to us| pend the offensive of the first and) third armies had been taken, it was uselene to attempt to advance further acrons the Marne or to leave our troops on the southern bank. It seemed out of the question to raw the troops immediately, as the few ridges wore under incessant artillery fire and were constantly bombed by machine-gunned or enemy planes, We had to make arrange: | mente for crousing before the retreat | could even begin.
