BRITISH TROOPS
PUSHING FORWARD

Iondon.-Great Britain's troops are
striking along almost the entire line
they hold in Northern France, not
with the terrific force which marked
the victories Of Arras and Messines,
but in a more or less tentative man
ner, giving weight TO the belief that
Field Marshal Haig is preparing to
launch a blow on a hitherto unprece-
dented scale.
Two features of the fighting stand
out with sharp significance.
The first is the feebleness with
which the Germans are reacting, and
the second is the surprising prompt
ness with which Berlin admits retire
men in various sectors.
The whole situation is entirely sim.
liar to that existing prior to the great
strategic retreat" of the Germans
from the Somme. There is consider
able evidence that Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg is planning another great
withdrawal and that Field Marshal
Haig is pressing him at all points in
the hope Of delivering a SCATTERING
blow, if such a second retreat to vic.
tory" materializes.

IMMENSE LOSS OF
BRITISH TONNAGE

Washington, D. C. - The German
submarine toll of British merchant
shipping since Feb. II, as shown in Of
fetal British figures compiled here, is
322 vessels of more than 1000 and
135 Of less than 1000.
Loss statistics of British steam
fishing vessels are incomplete, but a
three weeks total is seventy-eight.
The British figures do not give the
tonnage Of vessels sunk, but officials
here say 5000 tons probably would be
a fair average for vessels of more
than 1000 tons destroyed.
Computing the total at that aver.
age and putting the average of the
smaller ships at 1000 tons, the total
loss during Slightly less than four
months submarine warfare would
reach 1,745,0 900 tons, or about ESQ, 900
tons less than the entire worlds ship.
