London, Dec. 15-There is no use
trying to camouflage the gravity of
the situation on the west front-the
alysis, really counts.
Today Premire Lloyd George :
speech at Gray's Inn was regarded as
call to arms in a present day crisis.
The setback to British arms at Cam
brai has not only practically nullificd
Field Marshal Haig splendidly con
eeived and General Byng's splendidly
executed advance, but it is generally
admitted the reverse marked the end
of the British offensive Tor some time
to come.
The initiative has now passed to
Hindenburg.
The most competent experts pre-.
dieted that only the greatest efforts
will prevent the Germans from fulfill
ing their boast to break through the
alned line before American participa
tion can equalize the reinforcement of
the German line from the Russian
front
This reinforcement of the enemy,
made possible by the cessation OF flgng-
ing on the east front, means half
million picked men to throw into the
assault against the allied line before
America can get in.
Besides restoring to Hindenburg his
long lost initiative, General Byng's re-
verse graphically demonstrates the un.
truth of various widely prevalent stor-
les regarding the enemy
It demonstrates the utter absurditJ
Of the story that the morale of the
Germans is waning.

circulated stories of Germany IS inn

Only Boys Left in Germany

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, July 25 (By MaiD .-Germany's reserve of mature men now has been com pletely exhausted and her ranks are being filled with boys of 19 and IS years. and boys of r now are under examination. Each month the aver age age of the soldiers at the front lowers, and the end of the war likely will see very few men at the front more than 25 years old.
 The German infantry at the present time consists close to 40 per cent of the classes of 1915 to 1919. The classes of 1915 and 1916, both of which are rapidly dwindling, furnish 15 per cent of the infantry in the fighting lines The class of 1917, which is now entirely under the colors. furnishes an other 12 to 15 per cent, while the class of 1918. which is now arriving on the front in large numbers, furnishes an other to 10 per cent.

 Tt was several miles to Thunder lake and the going was terribly rough. On the way I spent more than three hours weaving a pair of rough sandals my father showed me how when was a child-of glass and bark. There was a pliable bark sole and thongs oi twisted grass held these coverings OF my feet. Then I romped on to the lake.
 Long before I got to Thunder lake it had clouded up heavily and started to pour rain. l had no clothing to spoil so l didn't mind it.

Rushed quickly to the Front

The pressure under which Germany has been forced to employ these boy soldiers also is indicated by their per iods of instruction. The class of 1915 was thrown into the battle front with only two or three months of instruc- tion, but with such terrible losses. caused by this ineXperience. that even Germany was forced 10 recognize that it was the costliest economy.
 The classes of 1916 and 1917 were given an instruction ranging from 9 to 10 months. While this gave better results. yet by the time the class Of 1918 was called to the colors Germany was again in such straits for men that the boys of this class were brought onto the front again with only three months of instruction. The accuracy of the above figures is confirmed in ev- cry capture of prisoners large enough to make a basis of Comparison.

 Two years after she was married she begged him to take her to Chile that she might see her mother She wanted her mother to see little Jack Hers was all the tremendous Latin love of the child for the mother and the mother for the child. She told him that she had heard of the stories of his infidelity, but that she was ready to forget and forgive and even condone anything if only he would take her and the baby to Chile.
 "She promised even to come back at once-back to the life that was hate ful and to the scenes that were hell in her eyes
 She says he told her to go to Chile or elsewhere-it didn't matter so long as it didn't interfere with him. She went to her home early in 1913. He did not see her of on the steamer. He did not even telephone her. But the thought that she was going back home supported her"

-HE strength of German positions
 on the western front, as proved
 during the past four months
 when the British and French made many successive drives, con vinces military observers that another method of attack must be decided up on if the enemy is to be vanquished in the shortest possible time. With this fact demonstrated clearly to the home governments, the advice of military men is being taken, and preparations are under way for si- gantic attacks by air upon the vulner- able bases of the German army and navy. German officials know this, and frantic efforts are being made to fore stall the allies. The boast of her rul- CTS has long been that enemies of the Fatherland can never carry the war in- to Germany. They are becoming fear full now lest their own land be devas- tated by exploding bombs dropped from thousands of airplanes.
 Flights to Germany from British
 
 French and British airplanes from points behind the battle line in France and Belgium number in hun dreds. Very little is made public re- garding these. Military men say this is because only slight military value has been attained through the aerial attacks. Only a few airplaAes were engaged in the raids as compared with the number necessary for sue cessful military operations.
 Strategic Points Vulnerable.
 But the attacks have proved that vulnerable and strategic points in Germany can be reached from the air. The few airplanes that were sent upon these raids were merely scouts of others which are to be sent forward. It is well within the range of possibility, too, it has been dem onstrated by actual test, that Berlin can be reached and bombarded from the sky.
 The accompanying map shows how distances from points in England and France and in Germany compare with distances in the United States. Tax ing the first comparison, shown at the top of the map, it can be seen that the distance from Grimsby, England, to the vicinity of the Kiel canal is the same as that from New York to Buff alo Many flights have been made in America and in Europe where the dis tance covered was greater than that which military sviators who mean to attack Cuxhaven or the Kiel canal will have to make. Victor Carlstrom and
Bisbee daily review., 1917-08-12

Ruth Law are two of the aviators who have flown further than would be re- quired to make that flight.
 The Kiel canal, guarded by water batteries at the estuary of the Elbe and the massive defenses of Cuxhaven, with the mine fields and the outpost at Meligoland, is safe from attack by warships, as Rear Admiral Fiske points out. On March 26, 1916, Brit ish seaplanes made a dash upon that section of enemy territory and report ed the destruction of airship sheds.
 Important Places Within Reach.
 As Great Britain hold the mastery of the sea, it is very likely that sea planes for attacks upon the Kiel skill ful and daring aviators can make a raid well worth while upon canal will be used. They can he released some night within sixty miles of Heligoland
