WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

Another week has passed without
. renewal by the Germans OF the Of
fensive that they began March 21'
which was halted before Amiens
early in April, and came to definite
pause on it's right flank before the
barrier Of the Flanders hills just as
the month Of May was opening. Ever
since the defeat Of General Won Ar
MINIS army in It's desperate assault
Cn the front southwest Of Ypres near
ly two weeks ago, the beginning OF
new effort by the enemy either here
or on some other front has been look
ed for from day to day. Possibly the
Germans have been waiting for some
allied counter blow, which they felt
able to Withstand and, therefore,
hoped would be dealt. II this was the
case they must have been disappoint-
ed by the waiting attitude Of General
Foch, which 1t is felt now will COM
pei the enemy to reveal his further
purpose with little delay, as time Is
one of the things he can not afford to
squander, with the American forces
now rapidly swelling to formidable
numbers.
Every day gives evidence OF the
alertness Of the allied forces. Numer-
GUS minor operations have been un.
dertaken to improve their positions
-, Ako ,,o,,Io,,a Rro1fa oDd thoir orti1.
lery fire has been directed to equally
good purpose In breaking up the or
ganiSing efforts Of the enemy. Air
plane raids without number, in which
the superiority of the entente air
forces has been clearly shown, have
served the same end.
Betterments of the allied positions
included an advance by the French
on the Flanders front, in the neigh
borhood of Locre, where the ap-
proaches to Mont Rouge, one of the
bulwarks Of the allied line, have
thereby made more secure. Far to
the south OF the Somme, on the south
erly side of the great Montdidier sa-
hent, French troops likewise carved
a slice out Of German-held territory
near Orvillers-SOrel, seven miles
southeast Of Montdidier.
Considerable activity is in progress
in the Italian theater. Between Asi-
ago and the Brenta river, on the
northern front, the Italians have
stormed Austrian positions at Coldel-
Orso and destroyed the garrison in
hand-to-hand fighting. At several
other points along the northern front
the Italians have worsted the enemy
in engagements evidently started
with the intention Of rectifying the
line.
Artillery duels and raids featured
the work on the Macedonian and
Mesopotamian fronts.

LADS SIMPLY FORGET
SACRIFICES THEY MAKE

The boys at the front are cheerful
lot as seen in the letters that are daily
getting into public print, wherever they
may be found-in camp, down along the
border, in England or France. Some
things they write are enough to make us
fellows hanging around home, even if
we've long been put on DR.. Oser's re-
tired list, feel like little red cent.
Here is the concluding paragraph of a
letter from ] w. Bastian, who is in Eng
land, to his parents, that shows the spirit
of the lads in general:

fees you folks back home are max
ing for us boys May God bless the
