ROTTERDAM, May 16.-The Germans
are still sending forward all available
troops In pursuance Of further de-
termined effort to break through the
srit1sh lines at Ypres. Nothing seems
to daunt their determination to obtain
position on this salient. They have
suffered terrible losses. and have been
pushed further backwards by the
French north OF Arras in the dtrec.

abandoning their desperate attempts
to hack their way to Yprcs. along the

small front. only to. be repulsed after
severe hand-to-hand lighting The
pressure on the allies probably would
have been still greater and longer per
sisted In but for the splendid counter
move by the allies further to the north.
Exactly at chosen moment an ad-
vance was made in the neighborhood OF
Steenstraate and Het Sas. This came
ms great surprise to the Germans
who had to rush up endorsements
which were badly needed at the same
moment for their effort to break
through the British front

SUFFICIENT MUNITIONS
NEEDED FOR OFFENSIVE
II the Russians check the German
offensive before they have completely
lost the hills and before they are
wholly back upon the Galician plain.

If the Russian armies are pushed off
the mountains and even put behind the
line OF the Dniester. then no offensive
threatening Hungary again is likely in
the course Of the present phase of the
campaign.
Apart from the lack OF Russian mu
nitions and equipment. the main cause
OF the cnemy's success has been the
appearance in the field OF his new
levies. The last and perhaps the
largest. batch OF this winters trained
troops has just joined the armies In
the field. and. though some portion has
been directed on to the western front,
by far the largest has been launched
here on the Galician side. in the hope
OF at last obtaining a true decision in
the east.
1t would also leave mass of forces
free after such n success TO come back
west and appear in great majority
against the Anglo French line tfor the
moment superior in numbers), and
break it in its turn.
But, it must be repeated, the decision.
