England Caught
IL AT a Disadvantage

The condition in the British army was far
less promising. The terrible losses of the
Somme in 1916 and of Flanders in 1917 had
MIXED the army of it's best human material,
and these campaigns, splendid as they were
in the spirit of sacrifice, had not brought
the expected harvest. Between the British
politician and British general there had
come an unhappy division of opinion and
the British soldier had been compelled to
extend his front dangerously while the Brit
ish politician withheld the reserves neces-
sary to hold the front. The supreme
command was exercised by junta, not
single general. There was lack of complete
coordination between the French and Brit
ish armies, result not growing out of
lack of loyalty or mutual desire to support
but an inevitable consequence of the divided
system of command.
The German was conscious of his oppor~
tunity and had found in Ludendorff leader
calculated to get the greatest possible ad-
vantage out of the peculiar German methods
and system. Ludendorff made the basis of
his strategy the fact that from the Argonne
to Ypres the Germans occupied the interior
of q semi circle and could thus strike with
equal ease at any point, from a common
centre, while, once the German blow fell,
the enemy would be obliged to move his
reserves to the imperiled point around the
circumference. In addition, the Germans
prepared attacks not at one, but at several
points, thus persuading both the French
and the British that the main blow would
fall against themselves and constraining
them to concentrate their resources on their
own fronts.
Possessing superior numbers, the central
position and the initiative Ludendorff had
also the superlative advantage of new
tactic, new system of attack, resting upon
the lessons of the Cambria battle of the
preceding autumn, when the element of sur
prise had been restored, and combining
with this the secret concentration devised
by Hutier in his Riga campaign. By this
method troops were brought to the battle
front by night marches, the enemy totally
deceived as to the moment when the blow
would fall, and thereafter mass attack
achieved its end.

A Brilliant Historic Campaign as
Ii Now Stands i'm
Perspective
BY FRANK II. SIMONDS

MACH year, since the opening of the
n war, have. at the close of the sea-
son, reviewed the military opera
tons of the campaign. To complete the
the final campaign which won the struggle
and thus close the military articles which
I have been writing during the world war.
The campaign of 1918 opened on March
81. when the Germans attacked the British
front between the Disc and the Scarpe Val
ley and won the greatest victory of the
whole war on the Western front up to that
hour. At the outset of the operations the
situation from the Allied camp was confused
and badly analysed. To the supreme test
of the four years the nations allied against
Germany went only dim perceptions of the
gravity of the peril or the greatness of the
coming German blow.
1t was appreciated in London and Paris
that the Russian collapse had enabled Ger
many to concentrate her whole military
power in the West. The magnitude of this
power was correctly estimated at some two
hundred divisions, approximately forty more
than the Allies had under their hands or
could concentrate within three months; but
there was little understanding of the new
German tactics, a futile reliance upon the
old faith that lines could not be broken
an insistence upon the enduring evil of
divided command, intensified by an ever
growing political interference.
The French army at the outset of the
struggle in far better shape than the
had been far smaller than that of its COM
rades. 1t was in superb condition, but I'M
mistakably weary; the strain of four years
was visible in the attitude of the troops
gallant in resistance, but no longer minded
to indulge in those offensive efforts which
had filled the pages of the recent years. 1t
was also superbly commanded and its gen
erals we're to win new glory.

resolution but it was apparent to all that
the jig was about up. Along the whole line,
save before the Americans, where the Ger
mans were massing reserves and making
a desperate stand, the Allies were advancing
and the limit of German ability to halt
American troops was within plain sight
The closing act of the drama was now at
hand. In the south the Italians took the
offensive and destroyed Austrian resistance
in brief battle which ended in an indie
scribable rout. Austria ceased to have an
army hundreds of thousands of men flung
down their guns, Trieste and Trent opened
their gates and Austria Hungary surren-
dered on the battlefield. And at this moment
Serbia was liberated, Rumana rising

north of the Aisne. Under pressure and
losing heavily in men and material, Luden-
dorff staggered back to the old lines of the
Somme fighting of 1916 and attempted to
make stand.
But while he was seeking to do this Lu-
dendorf was suddenly assaned north of the
Somme by Byng, who turned his flank, re-
took Bapaume and forced a retirement upon
the old Hindenburg line, from which the
Germans had emerged on March q. And

THE U-Boats
IL Defeated Germany

History will, l believe, reckon that this
war was lost on the day the Germans de-
cided upon their submarine blockade Of
1917, which brought the United States into
the war. This will be reckoned as fatal to
Germany, as was Moscow to Napoleon. Ma
poIeon fought one more campaign in Ger.
many after his Russian disaster, a great
campaign, which narrowly missed victory
at certain moments, but his doom was writ
ten in the terrible events Of the previous
year. 1t was beyond the res urces OF
France to supply him with the men neces-
sary to continue his great victories, and
once he suffered a real defeat the French
people deserted him.
1t was the same with Ludcndorf. He and
those about him assured the German people
that the war could be won by the submarine
and the army before America could inter-
vene. But when America interviewed, after
the German CAMPAIGN had failed on sea and
on land, the German people gave it up;
they saw America at last correctly, and, see
ing, surrendered.
We Americans reaped where others
sowed; our victories were everywhere made
possible by the endurance of those who
had died in defeat or desperate defence
where attacked. We were still small
element in the total host when the battle
ended But we had behind US numbers in
exhaustible; we had been able to supply
precious, perhaps decisive handfuls in the
worst days, and we were sweeping before Us
the remnants of forty German divisions
who bad vainly striven TO check us, in the
final act.
In all ways the campaign of 1918 was
the greatest in the war, in the history oil
modern war. 1t had all the terrible fascins-
ton of a battle long in doubt; it had the
final lift of supreme victory. On the mill
tary side it revealed the decisive contest
between two great military systems, escn
splendidly represented by great soldier
But the victory of the French system over
the German was complete, and tbs advantage
Of Foch over Ludendorff will never be ques-
toned
AS the war was saved at the Marine m
1914, so it seems to me il was won at the
same stream in 1913. These are the SUI
preme tests OF the war, forever memorials
in the history of human liberty.

REPORTS
I CONCERNING
So ~ COOKING

Nowthat the pantry shelves are
again filling up with home canned
fruit. vegetables. chicken and rab-
bit. the old German lie that the Fed
eral government expects to requisi-
ton or confiscate all home canned
goods found In the. homes over a
certain minimum amount, begins to
appear this year again. Last year
this rumor was assiduously circul-
ated by pro-Hun propagandists. This
year It 10 accompanied By an addi-
tional rumor to the effect that
heavy tax will b levied on all can
ned goods not confiscated.
So wide spread has this story be-
come that Mr.. o. H. Benson. in
charge Of boys and girls club work
in the northen and western states
has taken occasion to contradict the
Sumor and state the governments
policy in regard to home canned pro-
fucts. In q letter written to Prof.
=. 9. Hosenson Of the Utah Asricul-
tufal College, State Leader Of Boys
and Girls Clubs. Mr.. Benson says:
Numerous letters addressed to
the Department Of Agriculture have
shown apprehension in regard to the
attitude Of the government concern
ing home canned food. Malicious
rumors have been started to the eff
feet that the government intended to
requisition or confiscate a certain
portion Of the foods canned in our
homes. Another false rumor states
that hme canned food is to beeheav-
lily taxed by the federal government
l.. H.. ~ J..
Both are unfounded.
I'VE desire to take this opportun-
ity to assure the people of your
state that the government does not
contemplate either taxing or requisi-
tioning a single jar of home canned
food. 1t wishes every family to
store up as much food in the house
as possible by means of home can
ming and thus inspire an adequate
supply Of both commercial and home
canned food to feed the army and the
navy, our allies and our folks at
home. We wish that you would as
surethe people of your state that any
such statement is malicious propa-
ganda intended to, discourage the
American people in their splendid ef-
fort to win the war by way of home
conservation of foods. Let us plan a
campaign for home canning. home
drying, vegetable storaging and sub
stitute foods to save fats. sugar,
meat and wheat that will win the
admiratio nof the world"
