PEACE THROUGH BLOOD.
That Is the German Program as Stated
By Ludendorff.

New York. April "a. Peace for Ger
many, according to General Ludendorfi,
chief quartermaster- general, rests upon
the fighting on the western front and
necessitates severe battles fought to a
finish. These statements were made TO
correspondents at great headquarters on
March u and reported in German news
papers. which have been received here.
fThc final fighting in the west he
said, cannot be compared to the fighting
in Galicia or in Italy. The enemy has
powerful reserve army at hand which
he may move on his spendidly laid out
railroad system as he sees hit. But how
ever heavy fighting may be, the battle
must be fought out because without it
neaee Is not attainable."

might be discovered and be brought under
gun fire, and when that happens there
are usually casualties. The man who is
responsible for that is not an asset.
1t is considered most unsoldierlike to
ask a chum for a drink of water. He
figures this way-you have had the same
time and the same opportunity to fill your
water bottle that he has had, and if you
have not done so it is up to you. He may
give you a drink, but your asking for it
has not added to your dignity as soldier.
When he leaves the firing trench for
billets after taking some rest and getting
a meal every non-commissioned officer and
man is supposed to clean his accoutre-
ments and equipment and make himself
look as smart and as soldier-like as cir
cumstances will permit. A man who does
this without being told is considered a
real soldier. A billet is a place where
soldiers coming out of the firing line take
their rest-maybe a church or a school or.
should say, what remains OF churches
and schools and maybe a barn. was

When we had been holding this line for
somewhere from sixteen to twenty days
we had information that the Germans
were running a sap up toward our trench.
Now a sap is made by burrowing and.
after getting within certain radius of
the enemy's trench, putting in mine and
exploding it. Colonel Farquhar detailed
a company Of bombers to go over the top,
take the sap, blow it up, kill some Ger
mans and bring in some prisoners for the
purpose of getting some information.
In the night the detail went over the top
and moved toward the German sap. Ser

poor Ross was killed in this affair. We

Farquhar was killed by a sniper.
At that time neither the French nor
British had made any real attempt to
cope with the German snipers. The
princess Pats" was the first regiment
to organize a section of snipers As they
were all picked men-dead shots-meu of
iron nerve and patience, it was not long
before we beat the Germans at their own

The Second Battle of Ypres.
At the end of March we took over a
line of trenches in Polygon Woods, at the
apex of the Ypres salient, this being a
part of the line that was being pushed
forward in the shape of a horseshoe and
held at that time by the Twenty
and Twenty eighth divisions. Salients
are difficult and dangerous parts of the
line to hold because you can be shelled
by enfilading fire from the extreme right
or obliquely from the right or from the
extreme left or obliquely from the left.

five different points at the same time.

commenced by bombarding the city where
there were poor people, especially women
children and babies, who had remained in
the city trusting the British and Cana
dian troops to hold the firing lines in
front. There were two barracks, infantry
and cavalry, which had been used by the
Belgians previous to the war, but dur
ing the bombardment very few shells fell
into either. The Germans concentrated
their fire on the residential and business
sections.
