effect a general westward movement, un-
less the Alsatian, Champagne and other
engagements are designed to prevent the
dispatching of reinforcements from the
southern and central portions Of the
French line to protect the northern
flank when the supreme drive toward
the channel is made.
1t has been indicated in the dis
patches that if it had not been for the
sudden renewal of Russian activity in
the east the Germans would have been
enabled to dispatch heavy reinforce
ments to France and Flanders for this
movement. The Russian activity, how
ever, was in progress some time before
the western advance began. This would
indicate the possibility that the rein
forcements had actually been sent west
ward and that the Russians had taken
advantage of the weakening of the lines
confronting them to begin their own
offensive.
Unless some definite objective is at
tanned in the west there is little to be
gained by this German drive, and much
to be lost. The policy of the allies is
obviously to tire out the Teutons on the
central European field, whatever hap
pens in the south and the near east. A
practically fruitless German attack,
costing many thousands, would, unless
it equally penalties the French and Eng
lish, be of no advantage, while it would
in effect be playing the allied game. The
belief persists that this drive. in bad
weather, has for its object the encour-
agement of the army and possibly of the
home populace.

When it comes to celebrations, IL tho
busiest month Of all.

And wonder II he greets us as foe or

Then birthdays all heroic stir our pa

Though the wintry winds may whistle
with discord shrill and keen
And the snow come wildly drifting
through the bleak, deserted scene,
There is cheer in February and life
seems festal tune,
As the phrases spring ss freely a the
blossoming Of juno.
