that each detail Of the offensive has
been worked out at prolonged confer.
ences between General Nivelle and
Field Marshal Haig and the war coun-
ellis Of France and England. The part
to be played by each belligerent has
been definitely agreed upon, and a
schedule has been arranged as for one
great cohesive force. Various tasks
have been precisely allotted along the
wide-reaching battle-lines. and the re-
suits thus far attained justify the con.
clusion that the supreme military test
OF the war is near at hand.
1t was planned that the British
should strike from Arras while the
French guns were still roaring their
preparation for infantry hostllities
along wide front farther to the

The successes gained In the first
stages of the British advance have
given the French great confidence in
the Inauguration of their own enter

The whole struggle in the western
theater promises TO be a titanic one.
The allies are prepared as never be-

and are cooperating with smooth
ness which comes from complete
understanding and thorough appreci-
alton OF the work in hand.
