Not to Be Too Optimistic

PARIS. March 1s..Tomorrow or the
day after two entire French depart
ments, those of the Disc and Aisne. will
be liberated from the German invader,
according to reports from the fighting
front. The total territory now re-
gained is roughly calculated at $40
square miles.
The newspapers are overjoyed at the
liberation of such an extent of terri

The comment on the military aspect

that the rapid retreat of the Germans
very probably conceals some design.

British Advance Easy.


One feature of the operations gem
orally remarked upon is that the Brit
ish advance south from Rapaume has
produced no important fighting. Pc
rome itself was occupied without a
single British casualty. The place is
said to nave been thoroughly looted,
but, although many buildings were
fired. a great number are undamaged
and Peronne, unlike Bapaume, is still
a town.
Farther north, however, the destruc.
ton is complete and it is declared that
at least 800 villages were burned to Gin
ders The small town of Athies is de-
scribed as a flaming torch. visible for
miles around, and many villages are
still burning.
"Of all this great tract of France
which the enemy has been forced to
abandon" says one correspondent,
there is no beauty left, no homesteads,
no farms. only black ruins and devas-
tation everywhere. There was never
moment in the war when the French
inhabitants felt such a fury of rage
against the German quality of cold and
logical plunder and destruction"

Great Salient Wiped Out.

This morning was cloudy with
strong wind, but still very dry, and
therefore all was in favor of open
fighting. Every movement of the en-

vigilance and all along the line we pre-
pared to pounce on the scene of the dis

darkness last night.
"Our patrols have crossed the Arras-
Bapaume road and railway at many
points between the two places, and al

mate these important routes the Ger
mans are certainly off them In other
