under way is between Montpelier and

Ypres Like Verdun.

just at 4 time when the Germans
were speaking of the end Of the British
offensive i'll Northern France, a terrific
offensive was launched south Of Ypres
with the greatest explosion ever deliber-
atrly planned and touched off by man.
The mine is nothing new in warfare
on land or sea. In siege operations
men have tunneled to the walls of cities
and exploded charges of powder for hun
dreds Of years. 1t was only a variation
OF the maneuVer Of Indians rushing for
ward to set fire to a bloc khousc with 4
bunch Of lighted straw or dry grass.
Since the fail of 1914, when the Ger
man armies dug in after the battle
Of the Marine, sapping has been carried
on energeticallv by the engineers of all
the contestants. Tunneling under : No
Man s Land, the soldiers would plant
large charges Of explosives right under
the enemy s trenches. One of the duties
of those on guard nearest the enemy was
to listen intentlv for snbterrancan noises
indicating such activity.
To plant such 4 series Of mines rs was
exploded simultaneously II the begin
ming of the recent British drive was no
small engineering feat, and its success
ful operation is striking evidence Of the
efficiency Of the British army at the pres
ent time. Lloyd George leaving word TO
be called at 3 in the morning to hear the
report Of a military operation on the
western front 1870 miles away is graphic
evidence of the proportions which the
great, continuous battle, already lasting
| for wears, has assumed.
The immediate object Of the latest
phase of the British offensive is to re-
F! licve the pressure on battered Ipres by
/ the capture of Mcssincs ridge. which
/ dominates the region. The old Belgian
/ town has been defended at all costs even
/ though it has been demolished by Ger
| man commandments. There was a divis
/ ion of opinion in the British war office
whether the whole Of Tpres salient was
worth the sacrifice necessary to hold it
! just as there was among the French gen
erals over the value of Nerdun. Tacti
cally both could have been sacrificed
without serious damage, but both were
/ held because of the moral value and sus
tenance to the people and armies of botl
nations Boston Globe.
