Counter Attack Emphasizes Apparent
Permanent Character Of Present
Deadlock at Ypres, Says Mason.
KAISER VICTORIES IMPORTANT
Compel British to Use More Troops to
Defend Districts Now Held
Minor Gains Made.
BY j. w. T. MASON.

New York, April 26.-During the
week the Germans have balanced the
British gains at Neuve Chapelle and
south of Ypres by bending back the
Anglo-French from Langemarck to
the: west bank of the Ypres canal,
The German advance covers be-
tween two and three miles Of terri
tory along the battle front, about
two miles wide. It is the most i'm
portant success of the Kaiser's troops
in the west since their drive OF the
French across the Aisne in January.
The chief significance of the vic
tory is that the Germans still pos
sess the power to develop counter Of
fensives. This fact emphasizes the
apparently permanent character of
the present deadlock. If the Ger
mans can push back. the allied line
a few thousand yards to compensate
for a salient thrust into their own
lines, the helplessness of the military
struggle for both belligerents is
strongly suggested. =. = +
Have Been Important. :
The German success northwest of
Ypres is the most important sue
cess of the Kaiser's armies have
achieved along the western battle
front since their victory at scissors
last January. The Germans have
forced the Anlgo-French line about
two and one-half miles, which is
nearly three times the distance COW
cred by the British advance at Neuve
Chapelle. ~->.
East of Ypres the British line
forms an angle which pushes several
miles into the Germant front. The
establishment of German position
on the west bank of the Ypres canal
has bent back the northern side of
the British angle. Not only has this
been heightened, but also the angle
itself has been made more acute. BY
lengthenipg the side Of the angle,
the Germans are now able to threaten
flank and rear attacks against Brit
