by the horrors to which they were sub
jected.
The complete success of the Allied strug-
gle caused a wave Of exultation to sweep
the. country and military critics today pre-
dicted that other powerful blows might now
be expected in what may be regarded as
an effort to turn the northern end of the
German battle front
The Germans, anticipating a drive in
Belgium, has massed reserves, but So well
directed and violent was the fire of the
British artillery that the German re-enforce-
ments could not be held close to the firing
line. Unable to form an effective con-
centration the Germans were handicapped
when the infantry fighting commenced be-
cause It took some time to rush their re-
serve troops to the first line positions.
Among the Belgian villages taken from
the Germans are Pilkem. Hooge, Bixschoote
and Steenstraet. All had been fortified by
the Germans. .e
This will probably go down in history
as the third battle of Ypres. The scene
Of the main fighting is just little over
thirty miles from Zeebrugge, the German
submarine base in Belgium.
Belgium may prove the field on which the
imperialistic dream Of Emperor william is
shattered Just as 1t was the scene of the
collapse of Napoeons world ambitions.
Twice during the war in the Ypres sector
the Germans trIe: TO break through the
Allied line and twice they were hurled back
amidst a welter of blood. Twice the British
have attacked In the same region. The
first gained important ground for them and
the second is still under way. Ypres Is just
sixty-five miles from Waterloo.

The offensive is no overnight plan of
otyategy. Preparations have been going
forward for the stroke. for more than a
month. Germany had warning Of some-
thing that was impending In an artillery
preparation that began twei<y days ago
and reached a continuous crescendo of fury
week back.
With such extensive gains as the British
and French troops registered in their initial
effort Of the drive the utmost energy Is re-
Quired for consolidating the positions against
counter-attack.
What brought favorable comment here to-
day was the total failure of all German at
tacks against the ground won by the drive.
and this despite, the fact that all battle
'front.' dispatches agreed the British artillery
had virtually eradicated all vestige of
trenches and Notifications. This meant, II
was pointed out. that the victorious soldiers
were forced at once to dig themselves In
and erect strong lines to hold their gains.
The French official statement detailed
how those troops had likewise consolidated
their gains and also mens,one. the torrential

Allies are striking with unprecedented vigor
at the most vulnerable spot in the whole
German chain Of Notifications The for
tifications in Belgium are built on sand.
THE present push has been long in
preparation. That the Germans knew of
1t is evidenced by their fiare-out of ten
days ago, driving the British from the
Ypres salient to a more difficult position
from which to start. In a day or two
they probably will fling great assault at
Verdun or some point farther east on
the line. The British must not let them
selves be districted. Let the Germans gain
a little at Verdun II they can, but keep
up the Belgian offensive at all costs 1t
Is hitting the Germans where II hurts.
Carried out with the cooperation Of
monitors, the drive should be able to turn
the German right flank. The consequence
would be crumpling movement and a re-
treat along the whole length of the line.
The Germans can be driven from Belgium
II the attacks are pressed home and their
submarine bases on the coast destroyed.
