German Press Busy
: Making Excuses for
Failure at Ypres

LONDON, May {via Ottawa).- 1t is
noteworthy that with the lull in the
dehtinc since The German defeat at
Ypres. all German talk Of the "kaiser's
battle" has vanished. The German eX-
perts and newspapers have now been
Instructed to warn the people that no
new Sedan is possible, that Ypres IS
verv strong. that the British have
fought most stubobrnly and that, after
all. Ypres is not of Importance for the
Germans. They declare that the Ger
man command may decide not to take
Ypres.
Sir William Robertson's warning
that the war is likely to last ior a
bong time vet is commented upon IN
london as timely. 1t Is pointed out
that one reason why American inter
yention did not sooner become active
In some fields is because America made
ARRANGEMENTS for intervention on an
immense scale. and she realized that
a successful offensive against Ter
many might be necessary to win the
war.
The "Times" refers to dispatch
from Washington stating that diplo-
mats anticipate a peace move, but that
no offer Of mediation, even from the
pope. will be considered. Any proposal
of peace must come from Germany, the
"Tines" declares, and the Allies Will
meet any such move with the same un-
broken front as they met the latest
offensive.

German Chances
To Win DUindle;
Allies Stronger

LONDON, May 3.-A representative
Of General Radcliffe, director of mil
itary operations at the War Office, to-
da- summed up the military situation
On the Western front as follows:
an the north while the Germans
failed in their main objective, they
made their right flank secure by the
capture of KENNEL, but we must re-
gard the operation from the view
point of economy of men, and they
used up five divisions from the General
reserve besides seven or eight dl-
visions previously employed.
ssThe results of the past week on
the whole were satisfactory, because
the enemy used up a larger number
cf fresh divisions than the Allies,
without strategic result In all he
used on the North front thirty-five
fresh divisions, besides the nine di-
visions already there.
1.-the effect of the operations in the
North will be to reduce materially the
number of fresh divisions the Ger
mans have available.
GAS to the future, the Germans have
large numbers of divisions recovering
which can be used shortly. 1t is diff
cult tc make an exact comparison of
the staying powers Of the two armies,
but the fact shown are in our favor.
If the enemy continues his offensive
in the North ne must impair his
chances of success in the South.
"The main aim is to separate the
New-York tribune., 1918-05-04

1--WE will again have grossly failed to
measure up to our moral duty. We
will have charged to our discredit an
other year Of colossal blunders."
Ship Plan "SuicidaP' He Says
Senator McCumber contrasted a
statement of President Schwab of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, that the
United States would produce ship ton
mage of only ten million deadweight in
1919, with the estimates of the U-boat
losses of seven million gross tons in
1918. and said
"a programme which contemplates
but ten million tonnage is, trifing with
the most serious question that ever
confronted the people of this country.
1t is worse than trifing, it is suicidal
Our only hope Of winning this war
is N BENG ao.S to Keep our allies in
the field another year. That means that
it is incumbent upon US to supply
them with sod. If we can't get armies
into the f\ld let US at least get food
and munitiAns to those who are fight
ing our battles"
Senator McCumber asserted that
what we had lacked most was the fore
sight and animation to get up and
be doing when the flying sparks of
that great world war threatened to pro-
duce contiagratlon that might force
us on the firing line"
'We seem to have gotten so be-
wildered in maze of little things that
we have lost sight of the great require
ments," he said. "The failure of our
Shipping Board is the most aggravating
example of failure to grasp a big
situation.''
Charges Undue Waste
Unparalleled extravaganza along
every line of national endeavor was
another reason of failure, the North
Dakota Senator contended.
We have been literally burning up
the money which the taxpayers have
paid to create and support fighting
army, he charged. "While we can't
win this war without buying Liberty
bonds, neither can we win it by making
bontires of the money received from
Liberty bonds"
The buster of the public press, he
said which has grossly exaggerated
everything in our favor, had been an
ether factor in the DELAY.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-04

less than two months remain before
July |, when the fiscal year begins, for
which plans are being discussed.
The War Department has been ex
ceedingly slow in telling Congress what
it wants. Congress has been asking
for months how many men it was pro-
posed to call and how much money
would be needed to arm and maintain
them. The War Department has been
steadily changing it's estimates until
now it asks for twice as much money
as it originally suggested. Congress
was told to wait until Mr.. Baker go:
back from Europe, but even when he
returned plans were not ready, or ne
was not ready to approve them.
The delay is chiefly to be regretted
for additional artillery. The need for
more big guns was perceived in Janu-
ary. A big gun industry virtually has
to be created in this country, just us
much as shipbuilding industry had
to be and an airplane industry. The
creation of both these industries have
been the subject Of delay and dlsap-
pointment. Yet only now is the war
Department asking for money to create
this big gun industry.
The only possibility for contention
the provision for airplanes. Congress
has already appropriated $soo,o0o,Ooo
for this purpose and without apparent
result. Moreover such charges are be-
ing made with regard to the failure of
the air programme that there VIII be
hesitation to make further approprla-
tions until the truth is known.
In spite of the demands for further
invcsti cation on the floor the Senate
Military Affairs Committee is disln-
clined to investigate further unless MI.
Borglum produces evidence in support
of his suspicious. Mr.. Bcrglum, .ong
time friend of the President, has put
himself in the peculiar position Of an
agent of the President with respect to
arplanc Investigations who is dissatis..
fed with the Presidents dlsrosltlon OF

Allies Undismayed
By Kennels Loss,
Says French Expert

PARIS, May 5 (via Ottawa).--Henri
B,dou. the distinguished military critic
Of the Journal des Debats," who has
lust returned from the front, gave
Reuters correspondent here a most en-
couraging account Of the position
there. He says that the last time he
visited the front was just after I'll ?
capture Of KENNEL Hill. He found
some gloom over the possibilities in
volved in its loss, bat when he re-
turned he was delighted to find spirit
of the utmost confidence among the
Allied officers and men. resulting from
the magnificent manner in which the
Germans had been checked.
Bidou said that Tuesday was splen-
did day for the Allies and graver tor
she Germans than the loss Of KENNEL
Hill was to the Allies. He concluded
that never before had he seen such
comradeship and mutual esteem among
the Allies as since the, beginning OF
fhis great battle, when the French and
British fought and died together.
