Object Is to Break
British French Line

But this matter, if you take il
literally, is misleading. The
enemy's whole object in this
great attack is to break through
between the British and French
at their point of junction, and to
occupy the gap he has thus Gre
ated. Then as rapidly as possible
he plans to act against the Brit
ish to the north, cut off from
French cooperation and support,
basing his attack upon the fact
that after creating such a gap he
will find himself upon the British
flank.
With such a plan, the rate of
the enemy's advance is not the
gauge of danger. The real men
ace is the severity of the pres
sure he can put upon the defen-
sive lines. The creation of such
a gap or rupture in those lines is
not a product of a steady ad-
vance, but results from the ac-
cumulated weight of series of
blows which, during their deliv-
cry, may effect but little trace
upon the ground, but which, if
they achieve their object, trans
form the whole situation sud-
denly.
We saw that demonstrated in
the case of the first break
through west of st. Quentin. The
gravity Of the menace there was
not to be measured by the slight
advance made by the Germans

definite decision one way or the
other. 1t does not follow that
it the German effort fails there
will be an immediate break
down on their side, for this
enormous modern thing is not a
tactical action Of a few miles
only and of q few hours, as was
the case in the old battles; it is
a strategical work of millions
acting over weeks. But the
principle is the same. 1t is the
principle of the offensive which
burns its boats and which must
win or lose for good.
If the enemy fails to effect
the rupture between the British
and the French for which he is
paying such a terrific price, he
has before him all the increase.
in numbers represented by the
remaining Allied reserves, all
the immensely larger increase.
in numbers represented by the
coming American contingents
and a period of the blockade
which will be the worst he has
yet experienced, all coming on
top Of more than three years of
suffering and eliminating in
this tremendous strain. That is
why he thinks it sound policy
to risk all now.
To take up the detail of the
situation on the field, the devel-
opment in a great battle during
the first week in April has been
this:
The enemy had found by Eas-
ter Monday that increasing re-
sistance which created what
General Foch called a "dam"
checking his general advance.
By that time the Germans had
occupied the great triangle, the
base of which was their original
line from LA Fere through st.
Quentin to the neighborhood of
Arras, and the two other sides
of which run from Arras to
Montdidier and from Montdi- |
der through Noyon to La Fere. |
In this advance, the enemy had, |
as was shown in my last article, |
left open a perilous flank Of |
more than twenty miles between
Montdidier and Noyon, a flank
standing at right angles to the
main front between Arras and
Montdidier.
This perilous flank had been
produced by the action of the
French General Fayolle in com
ing up to the Montdidier-N oyon
line just in time to hold the
heights to the south of Noyon
and by his shepherding the
enemy westward and prevent
ing him from getting at once
both protection and elbow room
along the Disc River toward the
south.

the first thirty-six hours of the
battle were being delivered.
These did not have much result
upon the shape of the battle line.
The gravity of the menace was
really measured by what would
follow if the sector attacked
gave way, and when it did give
way, the map Immediately show
ed the immense consequences
that resulted.
The Reasons for
the Great Rush
If we put ourselves in the
enemy's shoes and ask why, in
his desire to obtain an immedi-
ate result, he is clearly prepar-
ing to risk something like double
even the enormous losses al
ready involved in his first great
rush, and why he is thus stalk
ing the whole of his future up
on one issue In so brief a space
of time and at so enormous
but deliberately calculated-a
cost in life, we can answer that
question by looking as he does
at the map of Northern France.
The British armies hold the.
line that runs up from just
south of the Somme at point
upon that river about fifteen
miles up from Amiens, and
passes before Lille, covering the
ruins of Ypres, and running
along the Passchendale Ridge to
the North Sea. Their communi-
cations with the French army,
and therefore the structure of
the whole Allied line has de-
pended since October, 1914, up
on the railway system whose
main artery rms from Calais and
Bologne through Amiens tol
Paris. That main artery is al
ready seriously threatened by |
the German advance south of |
Amiens, but for the time being
at least, and until the German
advance has been pushed con-
further, it can be sup
plemented by the railway line
which runs from Amiens
through Beauvais, and so south.
In the meanwhile, there is the
line of supply
through Abbeville and connect
ing all the ports along the Chan
mel with the depots in the Seine
Valley.
Now, if the enemy were at
once to break in between the
French and the British line
north Of Montdidier and occupy
Amiens, he would not only have
his opponents separated, he
would not only have the Eng
ish army isolated, he would not
only find himself right around
his flank, but he would also be
within striking distance Of Alb
oeviIle. He would have the
great obstacle of the Somme
Valley to protect his left flank
from an attack BY the French
while he was disposing of the
and as he advanced he
would cut off the British not
only from French support, but
also from the greater part of
their own supplies, and he
would have them eooped up be-

The enemy had by the time
he was checked lost some 30O,-
900 men. Many of these would,
it is true, return in the course of
several months discharged from

ity to retreat.
1t would be a great decision,
an overwhelming victory. 1t is
to obtain such a decision that
the German is risking every
thing. This is what explains
the continued, quite unex-
ampled losses to which he is sub
jecting his remaining forces.
This is what explains his having
already thrown into single re-

has already put in all the best
of his fighting material.

The idea Of Ireland's duty and share
all things from God come, quietly.
The pitiable state of those millions of
souls depicted by a missionary from
China, Father Fraser, touched the
generous heart of a young Irish priest
working in the busy city Of Brooklyn
six years ago. In 1912 Father Calvin,
a priest of the diocese of Cork, Ire
land, sailed for China--there to spend
the remainder of his days. He, Ia
bored hard but the conviction gradu-
ally grew upon him, that if Catholic
ity was to make any progress, a steady
stream Of priests must be poured in
for years to come. Where were voca-
tions most plentiful? Naturally his
thoughts turned to Ireland. There the
youth were strong in faith, the spirit
of sacrifice was bred in them An
Irish mission would win the cause.
And SO to Ireland he came.
He reached his native land in the
late summer of 1916. His mission was
,, soon known and known it spread like
fire. Willing helpers came forward.
The various Catholic Seminaries, May
nooth, All Hallows, Thurles, Carlow,
Waterford and others took up the
work. Father Calvin was soon joined
by a number of talented young priests,
many Of whom gave up brilliant pros
poets. Plans were laid for the found
ing of a seminary expressly for the
education of priests for China. The
project received the formal approval
and blessing of the Irish Hierarchy in
solemn assembly at Maynooth in Oc.
