GERMANS WATCH BRITISH
WITH CATLIkE ALERTNESS

tFrom STAFF Correspondent OF the

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE. May 81 Cvia London).-
While comparative quiet continues TO
reign along most OF the western front,
tho war is far from standing still.
That great machine behind tho fight
ing forces continues TO move with
never-resting energy.
Artillery duels break out by day and
night along the various sectors of the
long battle line, and there passes now
unnoticed an expenditure OF shells
which two years ago would have been
regarded as little short OF marvellous.
But the game of modern warfare is
ever progressive one. and the mira Gle
OF to-day becomes the commonplace
OF TOMORROW.
s The infantry activity lately has been
confined wholly TO raids and minor
local attacks. These are conducted
mainly for the purpose of keeping in
touch with the cncmy's movements
and Intentions. Both tho British and
Germans have adopted these tactics.
and the few hours OF darkness lately
are filed with trench maraudinG cx-
petitions
The Germans appear daily to grow
more nervous and worried by the
present lull. They are watching the
British with catIikc alcrtness. The
slightest alarm during the night sets
their guns going, and many defensive
barrage curtains have been projected
uselessly In front of the British posi-
tions. Some of their airplanes also
are taking desperate chances in hy-
Ing low over the line. endcavoring to
keep In touch with any important
movement
The German government continues
to fll the air with wireless propa ganda
against the British, virtually ignoring
ali the other allies. including the
United States. The trench version in
the Arras district of Emperor Will
liam's recent speech was to the effect
THAT no British prisoners should be
taken: that the Germans should hate
all the English, and IL they could not
avoid taking some prisoners. they were
to treat them with the greatest
severity. Emperor William was at
Douai and at Journal May 80. and n,ado
speeches at both places. III
