THE TIMES PRINTS THE LATEST AND BEST WAR bEWS FINAL 45TH 13,214. CHESTER, TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, PAGES PRICE TWO CENTS FOCH PROVING HIS ABILITY Plis High Quality of Patience Is Again Controlling the Allies' Strategical Movements THE GERMAN PITFALLS Meeting With No Success in Face of French Leader's Masterful Guidance By T. Mason (United Ifress War Expert) EW YORK. Aug. Foch's high quality of patience is again con- trol'ing the Allies' strategy south of iht- Aisne.

Voa Hindenburg's enticements Allies to over-run and fall into carefully prepared ('iiTinan pitfalls, are having no more than at any time since the re- from-the Marne began. The Germans are in strong defensive- positions north of. the Vesle. Th. are holding their line desperately fur the work of moving their guns the Aisne is a slow and labor- i.iiis process.

To drive the Germans iiaek by frontal attacks along the Vesle would exact a heavy death toll from the Allies, much in excess of what the Germans themselves would suf- fioneral Foch has repeatedly shown he will not engage in these short- siehr.cd tactics. Artillery bombardments or threats to encircle the Germans are the rightly favored methods of attack under present conditions. It is not worth the heavy cost of direct assaults on the German positions to drive Von Hindenburg beyond the Aisne more rapidly than he must go eventually. The time for the Allies major offensive has not yet come, and the fewer casualties the Allies suffer in Ule meantime the more certain will 'the final result of the offensive be. It doesn't matter to General Foch whether Von llindenburg is compelled to shorten Ins line now or later.

The inevitable- must happen. Von Hindenburg, however, strongly desires General Foch to try to force the inevitable before its time. If Von Hindenburg can inveigle (Jeneral Foch into engaging in destructive minor offensives before America's millions are fully prepared there remains a chance that. in the end the Allies will have whittled away their resources. So A bn Hindenburg turns at bay and invites the foremost units of General Fooh's troops to engage in pitched bat- tics.

But the trau is without avail. 'Jeneral. Foch is famllinr with all the tricks of the old fox. Inexorable as fiite the American troops-are filing into I'rance. Time, therefore, waits Foch's command and the pause at the Vesle is an integral part of allied strategy.

WILSON WAS SPONSOR I Wife of President Sprinkles Champagne on the Bow of the Initial Hog Island Ship THOUSANDS CHEER ACT First 'Fabricated Steel Ship Slides Down Ways at the Great Shipyard Hog Island's pioneer freighter Quist.conck—was launched at 12.36 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President of the United States, was the sponsor. At Mrs. Wilson's elbow, when she smashed with a vigorous blow the wicker-covered bottle of champagne across the bow of the great vessel, stood President Wilson.

Behind her, all 'smiles, was Charles Schwab, director general of the Emergency Flee Corporation and the shipbuilders." To Mr. Schwab's right was Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States shipping board. Behind Uie plaform and scattered for a half mile.on either side of the launching platform was a throng or shouting, cheering, patriotic at 30,000 strong. It was typically an American crowd that had stood for several hours in the glare of hot, blazing sun, patient, but anxious to join in giving vent to its patriotism.

It was the largest throng that had ever witnessed a launching anywhere in the country. Workmen who built the Quistconck presented Mrs. Wilson, the sponsor, and wife of the President, with a huge bouquet of flowers at the launching. William McMillan, who drove the first rivet, into the Quistconck, made the presentation address. The boufluet was purchased through subscriptions of the ship- workers, and the fund was so large that after the been purchased there remained $80.

This will be contributed to the overseas tobacco fund. The great ship had slid from the ways gracefully. There wasn't a mishap of any sort. It glldded into the waters of (the Delaware and settled itself easily. Several tugs pulled up alongside the big hull anfl in a few minutes after it hacf reached the water it had been towed into one of Hog Island great docks, where the engines, and finishing will be put into it and the Quisconck will sodn become one of the great American fleSt of cargo steamships that will do much to end the war.

The Quistconck had not gone more than 100 feet away from the launching cradle on its -way into Che Delaware, when workmen lowered carefully over the big wooden structure the first steel plates that marked the laying of another thirty-ninth in the great Hog Island fleet. In about nine minutes the new keel had bee laid on the same way in which the Quistconck had been built. from the heat it was an ideal "launching day." The sun's rays literally burned up the great throng and at frequent Intervals the ambulances stationed at the yard could be seen hurrying through the yard to pick up a heat victim and rush back with him to the first aid station established at the great yards.

Bender (United Press Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. a back to the Vesle river and presenting shaking front at numerous other points on the great west line, Germany, in the opinion of officials here, must soon make some reckoning to her people. It is-believed here that she will do one of three to dig In soon and Bet up a bitter defensive front or attempt a new offensive at eome other point in the line after she has had an opportunity to reorganize her forces, and simultaneously with either, launch the first of a series of progressively attractive peace manoeuv- ers. That she la In no condition to start a successful offensive action anywhere now is the conviction here. The British ale stronger than in many months.

The Americans and French are demonstrating their increasing effectiveness. Hence it would appear that Germany's best play would be to settle down to defensive warfare and try to gain peace before the great "battle of the action to bo launched later to gain, a decisive victory over the Huns. Every Allied nation Is alert to the subtle danger of a peace manoouver.
