SUMMARY OF WAR

Assurance In their ability to stem
the tide of German force grows
among the allied leaders as the enemy
delays renewal of his offensive from
day to day. With the French re-
serves almost intact. il has been de-
eided not to incorporate the Ameri-
can army in the AngIo-French armies
az this time and not to use it until IL
10 complete and seIf-sustainins.
Washington has no official confir.
nation of this report, received in
Ottawa In the form Of a summary Of
report issued by the British war
cabinet, but qualification is felt that
the American army will be able TO
meet the foe as an entirety. When
the German menace against Amiens,
Paris and the channel ports became
so serious and General Foeh assum-
ed supreme command, all available
American troops wore offered The
geneTalissimo. A large number were
rushed to the battle line and a Sec
tor west of Montdidler is now held
by American soldiers.
GerHany's military leaders have
used up most of their reserves in
their attacks since March 21, and the
British and French armies, with the
reserve French force, are deemed
fully able to deal with further enemy
o1Tllsbeso The allied strategy is aid
ed by the fact that the Germans
must attack or admit defeat.
no GAIN IN TWO WEEKS.
Il 10 now two weeks since the dis
astFous repuIse OF Mont KENNEL and
in that time the Germans have gained
hardly foot either In Flanders or in
Picardy. The French and British,
however, have taken some small
and locally important positions in
limited attacks, the latest advance
being made by the French north of
kemne village in the capture of Hill
a.. and an adjoining farm. - It ls felt
the Germans cannot delay their at
taeks in strength much longer and
that important sectors southwest Of
Ypres and between Arras and the
Sonme will soon resound again to the
clash of mighty battles. Meanwhile
opposing cannon are firing thousands
Of shells into and behind the hostile
positions.
On the Italian front the fighting is
becoming sharper with the italians
on the offensive. After the success
full operation on Monte Corno, south
of Asiago, the Italians have wiped
out an Austrian advance post on the
important height of Col del Orse, be-
tween the Brenta and the PiaVe. Aus
trian patrol parties were repulssd
north of Lake Garda and along the
line west of the BFenta.
Announcement that Emporer
Charles had gone 60 the front TO wit
ness the start of a new offensive
against the italians, which has not de-
veloped, has not improved internal
conditions In the dual monarchy and
the existence of a separate Austrian
state is reported TO be in danger.
Baron 5urian and the emperor now
have gone to German great head
quarters, where, it 10 said, the for

or fiotilias in the navy.
The first circus was formed by
Captain Boelke, one Of the early
German star pilots. He collected a
number OF picked pilots, including
the Richtofens, Voss, and schaefer,
of whom the latter two have been
killed within year. Boelke himself
was killed in 1915, and the elder
Richthofen took over the circus.
On the British side, the reply
came in a squadron organized by
Major HawlSer, which the Germans
called the Anti -Richthofen Circus"
Ultimately Hawier fell in fight
with Richthofen.
During the fighting OF the past
few weeks several circuses OF pick
ed pilots have been In action on both
sides. They have reduced fighting In
formation TO a fine art, each pilot
maneuvering as one Of team and
refusing to be drawn away from the
formation into single-handed fights.

London, May 13.-The airplane
Circus" which was introduced by
the Germans two years ago, has taken
a notable part in the fighting on the
western front recently. The use Of
the word circus" In this connection
has now become recognized among
both British and French aviators. 1t
indicates virtually a specially organ
ized troop of picked pilots whose job
is simply to destroy enemy airplanes.
These circuses are complete units,
equipped with their own transport
mechanical shops, and all necessary
accessories. Wherever there is fight
ing to be done, the circuses move
quickly to the danger point. If a
big attack is to be made by either
side. the rival circuses are moved to
aerodromes in that district, and each
endeavors to prevent the others
reconnaissance machines from oper-
ating. The circus performs, In fact,
