Menace Involved In Re

YPRES SALIENT
is THREATENED
Say Germans Have Used
120 OF Their 200 DiHi-
sions In The West
CBy Associated Prsss.)

London. April 17.-There is no
inclination to minimize the serious
ness Of the loss OF Bailleul and the
possibility that il may lead to the
necessity of evacuating Ypres and
Passchendaele.
Under the heading "They stilI
Advance" The Daily Mail says that
up to this time in their advance the
Germans have been in marshy
ground. Yesterday they captured
the first of the important ridges by
strong Wytsehaete being aided by the
fall of BailIeuI. and thus the securi-
ty Of the Ypres salient. so long the
bulwark OF our left and touched
with such immortal memories to US.
is imperilled."
The Daily Graphic thinks II would
be wise to withdraw the British
troops from Ypres and Passchen-
daele ito avoid the risk OF their be-
ing olIt Off and compelled to sur
render" II continues:
That the situation is made more
serious by the loss OF Bailleul is
obvious and IL would be dishonest to
pretend otherwise"
The paper adds. however. that as
long as the allied armies remain un-
broken, Germany's purpose Is not at
tanned, while she is eXhausting her
self in order to force a decision.
Correspondents on the front say
the Germans have used UP 30 Of
their 200 divisions in the west and
have been able to bring another two
divisions from Russia.
These unpleasant reverses must
be faced steadily" says The Times.
Their significance must neither be
minimized nor exaggerated. Far
more serious than the loss Of ground
is the revelation OF the growing
weight Of the German pressure.
I'VE hear far too much OF the
enemy's losses. mistakes. difficulties
and of their failure to reach appoint
ed detectives on particular days and
not half enough about the serious
fact that they are still bringing fresh
divisions from Russia"
The Times says the enemy will
continue drawing on their reserves
in Russia until allied statesmen stop
dreaming vain dreams about Russia
and do something practical to compel
the enemy 10 cease depicting the
Russian front.

SUMMARY OF War

With the Ypres salient in south
western Belgium nenaesd by the
continued advance Of the Germans on
the Lys battle front immediate 60
the south, ths British have begun 20
withdraw from this advanced line.
The British forward positions east
Of Ypres have been given up and q
new line TO the west occupied. THE
withdrawal was carried out In per-
feet order without enemy Intsrfsr-
enes.
Apparently the rstrograds move
msnt is pIvotins on the Wytsehaete
sector where London today reports q
successful counter attack carried out
upon the Germans, who yesterday
captured the town Of Wytsehasts,
near the highest point Of the sasterIy
Messinss ridge, and who presumably
pushed out somewhat beyond che
town. They are unofieiaIly reported
as having advanced 70 81. EIoI, a
mile and q half north Of Wytsehasts,
two miles west Of HoIIsbsks and
about six miles directly south Of
Yprss.
Sc. Eloi is on ths old battle lire 40
IL existed before the British began
their offensive last year, taking Mes
Binss ridge and later pushing on and
gradually absorbing all Of the Pas
sehendaeIs ridge, the continuation Of
the spur to the northeast.
This may be an indication that the
British retirement is 70 the line Of
the spring Of 1917 although such
withdrawal would include the abaR-
donment of the entire Passehendaele
position as we'll as the Msssines ridge
area, from the greater part Of which
battle. IL would leave the town OF
Yprss, however, still in British hands.
LINE is HOLDING.
There seems no danger az present
Of . retirement on any much larger
scale thar this on the northern end
Of the Franco Belgian line as the
result Of the recent German sue
ceEses. The line as a whole appears
likely to hold as long as the railway
communications supporting IL are in
tact. Apparently the security oF
these communications has been pro-
vidsd for by the nassinu of large
forces in the northwsstsrsY sector OF
the Lys battle front.
The German offensive aim here as
has been frequently pointed out, 10.

DAMAGE DONE TO
NATION CAUSE
Former Military Instructor
Gives Governor Straight
Views

Grand Forks. N D., April 17.-Col,
Charles H. McVey, former military
instructor at the University of North
Dakota, has made public a letter writ
ten by Gov. Lynn j. Frazier to him
self and one written by himself in
response thereto, that throw an in
teresttng light on the North Dakota
administration views with respect
to the doctrine OF Americanism that
stands opposed 70 the propaganda
for the creation Of class prejudice.
Colonel McVey, in his letter TO the
governor. written Monday, resigns
from the executives statf. and makes
known his attitude with respect to
the Nonpartisanl eague propaganda
as carried on by the leaders thereof
Made Demand on University.
An address delivered at Surrey, n.
D., on March 81, is responsible for
the CLASH between Colonel McVey
and the state administration, one
angle OF which was the demand made
upon the University of North Da-
kota, in the name Of the state board
OF regents, that Colonel McYey be
not permitted to speak in this state
under the auspices Of the university.
Tottsn Takes q Hand.
This demand, 1t appears, grew out
Of the activities of George A. Totten,
member Of the board of regents, one
or the organizers OF Al. g. Townley's
chain or country newspapers, who
made q trip to Surrey and investi-
gated the address, some time after
Colonel McVey's appearance There.
Mr. Totten, accompanied by a stenog
rapher. interviewed several Surrey
people. and 1T was shortly after Tot
tens visit to Surrey that the demand
that Colonel McVey be taken of the
speaking work was made.
The board Of regents had held no
session at which action relative to
the McVey incident could have been
taken, and it Is generally understood
that the demand was made on the
representation Of Mr.. Totten.
What Actually Transpirsd.
The position taken by Governor
Frazier in the matter, and Colonel
AfcYey's statement Of what actually
happened at Surrey. are best set forth
in letters made public here by Colonel
Mcvey yesterday. Colonel McVey
