ABSTRACT
The Supreme Command insists on its demand of Sunday, September 29th, that a peace offer to the enemies be issued at once. If, therefore, Diaz could be induced to attack within the next two or three weeks, all the 'props' would be assailed at once, which would be most disconcerting to an enemy already finding it difficult to hold the assault of the British, French and American forces in the main theatre. The successes by the British and French armies, which had begun with Haig's attack on August 8th, continued. There were no signs of a new Passchendaele. Again, on October 25th, Haig advised that the German Army was by no means broken. Haig considered that the German Army would retreat from their present line 250 miles long to one of 155 miles and that nothing the Allies could do would prevent it.
