THE LATEST BRITISH ADVANCE


by the British on the "von linden
burg line" in Northern France is
cheering at a time when the people
Of the allied nations need all the
comfort they can get.
The value Of this victory, how
ever, must not be placed too high.
The attack and the advance we're
natural consequences of the Ger
man campaign in recent weeks. It
is not improbable that the Central
Powers discounted it long before
the campaign against Italy was
well under way.
Germany could not Withdraw
large forces from the western front
for use southwark and not antic-
pate unusual activity from her
enemies on the west. 1t is very
likely that part of the winter cam
paign of the Central Powers Is to
surrender a very considerable area
Of the captured territory and, for
strategic reasons, shorten the lines
Of defense in preparation for the
spring activities.
Germany, of course. realizes that
with the arrival of the big army
from America she must prepare to
Withstand more terrific assaulrs
than have yet been hurled against
her defenses and hence the neces-
sity of consolidating widely scat
tered forces and preparing reserve
strength for use in times of great
pressure at particular points.
The Kaiser, it should likewise be
remembered, is still playing his old
trick of engaging the Allies where
he may papear to be the weakest,
while conducting another war with
a specific objective. Thus he
crushed Serbia and Rumania, and
thus he is endeavoring to render
Italy helpless during the coming
spring and summer.
One may well entertain the hope
that the brilliant achievements of
the British arms on Tuesday are
but the forerunners of many and
other extraordinary advances in the
very near future; but, at the same
time, the people of the allied ma
tons win, if wise, not permit this
acquisition of few miles of cap
tured territory to blind them to the
fact that what has just been ac-
complished has scarcely made a
dent in Germany so far as the es-
sential elements of victory are con.
eerned.
Contrast that with the fact that
Germany, in week, practically de-
stroyed the results of two years
work by the Italiau armies in what
was considered one of the most
brilliant campaigns of the war.
This is not purely pessimistic
viewpoint. 1t is not moan of de-
spair Germany will be beaten,
and so badly that she cannot fight
another great war for generation,
but victory will come through dog
ged persistence and continued sac
rifce, in the face of the rosiest
signs of victory, and not otherwise.
Forward, march,
