"A Community Proposition

T~tIE Ad Club answered the question yesterday
y which has for several years been facing Ho-
nolulu and awaiting solution.
The question Isl "What can we do for the
SOLDIER" and the Ad Clubs answer is: Give
him the finest site in the city for club house with
buildings and equipment ready for occupation, all
under the control Of the most efficient, liberal,
broadminded, progressive and altrrstic organiza-
ton now existing under the Flag
The proposition to dedicate the splendid proper
ty known as the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, with its
two and half acres in the heart Of the best part
Of town; with its spacious buildings and courts;
its palms and lawns and Towering treesall this
IN fee Simple and fully furnished for the use Of
every man who wears the uniform Of the United
States is a bold one; a magnificent one; one which
IS worthy Of Honolulu and worthy Of those for
whom it is to be provided. It is something worth
working for. Something that we, and our children
after us, can be proud OF SO long as Honolulu re-
mains the Queen of the Pacific. .,a u
AS the Ad Club itself has stated, it is too far
reaching and broad a proposition for any or
ganization to undertake. It's "community prop
osition." 1t is one not only for the benefit of the
J "Service' but Of the community as well, and the
community should esteem it a privilege to be

The Alexander Young Estate has led off with

sea to the Swiss border, was an elab-
orately constructed powerful position,
kept in the highest state of efficiency
and condition for defense at all times.
All night long the garrison worked
feverishly repairing the damage done
| by French and British guns during
the daytime and daybreak generally
found the trench parapet entirely re
paired and reconstructed from the
holes and craters torn in it by the
enemy guns.
But these tactics required the po-
sition in the first line of a consider
able garrison. Many soldiers were re
quired to man the continuous line of
trench, zigZagged back and forth to
prevent being enfiladed by machine
guns if the enemy sent over a raid
ing party, and it was necessary to
have in position always a great num-
Der of working parties of soldiers to
do the repair work.
To accommodate and protect these
men the Germans built, directly be-
low their advanced front line trenches,
great abris, or bomb proof shelters,
usually dug thirty to forty feet under
ground and accessible by long stair
ways from the trenches. Here the
working parties slept by day and the
active fighting men by night, except
when they were "tumbled up to stand
guard against a possible surprise at
tack
But as time wore on and the allies
heavy artillery increased in numbers,
the Germans found flaws in this means
OF defense In the first place, it soon
became possible for the British and
French to allOt batteries of heavy
lguns-eight-inch and over-to every
sector along the front, instead of only
/ the places where offensive actions
I were planned. The big eight-inch
guns did vastly more destruction to
! the trenches than the 75-millimetre-
three-inch-guns that the allies had
formerly relied upon. And, further
more, an eight-inch shell with a pen
etratiOn time fuse" attached could
crush its way thirty or forty feet un-
der ground before exploding This
rendered the underground shelters
worthless in case of direct hits, and
since the allies were so wei! supplied
with both big guns and shells that
4 they could systematically plot the
whole German front line, they blew
up dugout after dugout, killing or en-
tombing the occupants, until linden
burg was forced to adopt other de-
fensive measures.
IL is generally believed that Gen
eral Won Lossburg, who was chief Of
staff of the fifth Germany army that
faced the Franco-British forces at the
Somme, is the creator of the new enc
my defensive tactics. He was trans
ferred to Artois last spring in the
face of the big Canadian attacks
against Vimy Ridge and lately has
been sent to the Flanders front, where
the British reinforced by the first
French army under General Anthoine
are striking again and again.
Realizing the allied superiority in
men. munitions and morale, General
Won Lossburg tacitly admits that they
can take any positions the Germans
hold at their volition. What he aims

elastic line" and that it could not be
broken, even though badly strained,
until such time as one side or the
other has a crushing superiority in
every branch of warfare. The German
line was elastic enough to withstand
the French assault in Champagne in
September, 1915, the British line was
elastic enough to give way before the
German attacks at Ypres in the spring
of 1915 without breaking. The French
line was elastic enough to withstand
the crown princes pressure at YER
dun in 1915. And the German line was
elastic enough at the Somme, al
though the tautness was taken out of
it by the retreat in February-March
last to the Hindenburg line.
Shorn of their jargon and long
winded technicalities, the German
communicates merely admit that the
German armies are slowly and me-
thodically giving ground retreating-
in the face of the French and British
assaults.

TEN, often three or four miles from
the actual advanced front line of the
crater positions" that the Germans
counter attacks are organized and
started after each advance by the
British and French. So far this meth
cd of beginning the counter attacks
so far in the rear has been possible
because the Crown Prince Rupprecht
still holds a few heights and ridges
and hills in Flanders which hide his
troop movements and enable him to
mass men for an attack beyond the
vision of the British. But, with these
observing positions all lost to him
Rupprecht will be forced to use other
tactics. When once the commanding
positions are all held by the British
and the low, flat, slightly undulating
plains of Flanders stretch forth I'M
hampered to British observers, it will
be necessary for the Germans to keep
their supports nearer the advanced
fighting line if they intend to strike
back quickly, before the British can
dig in" and consolidate their newly
won positions. For if the Germans
try to concentrate men IN the open
even three miles in the rear, these
formations will be caught under the
fire of the British long range naval
type guns and shattered before they
can even get started on their way
forward to counter attack. In fact,
this is exactly what has happened
time and again recently at all points in
the Ypres sector, where the British
have gained a footing on the last OBJ
structing reach between them and
open, level ground British commu-
niques speak repeatedly of German
counter attacks in process of forma-
ton were caught under our fire and
the attacking troops dispersed"
The Germans, too, are constantly
increasing their stand of artillery
although they are unable to keep pace
with the French and British, and they
have concentrated no bigger calibre
guns-their eight-inch high velocity
shells for long range work being their
especial favorite. But they are at a
disadvantage because the initiative
has passed to the British, and the
Germans do not know where to con-
centrate their fire to break up the
organization for the next British leap
forward. They try to cover the whole
arc of the Ypres salient-whipAjs con-
stantly 'mushrooming" larger and
larger-whereas the British merely
concentrate on the sector they intend
to attack.
Elasticity of line" is a meaningless
phrase to those who have always real
lied that the western front was an

ITCHY of defensive lines" and "ad-
vanced crater positions" have figured
many times of late in the German
communicates edited by Ludendorff.
But the only difference in the Ger
man defense today from what it was
year ago at the Somme is that for
merly the front line trench and the
support position Immediately behind
was held in force, whereas today the
advanced line is sparsely held-being
usually only line of shell holes con-
nected up and reinforced by steel and
concrete "pillboxes," and the most ad-
vanced intrenched position is the sec
ond line, also thinly held. The bulk
of the defending troops are concen-
trated in what apprOximates to the old
third line of defense and even further
to the rear.
Continually augmenting and crush

bined with aerial supremacy for bonn
