Germany has resumed her drive
for decision on the western front
after lapse of nearly four weeks,
striking in the south between Rheims
and SCISSORS, and in Flanders on the
northerly side of the Lys salient.
While it is to early for the true
German intention to be disclosed,
the effort apparently is simuitane-
ously to push through to the channel
ports in the north. thus breaking up
the British front. and to strike for
Paris in the south in an effort aimed
mainly at the French.
Open Long Attack
The main field Of the German at
tack begun last March and halted
after the disastrous enemy reverse
in Flanders late in ApriI--the
Somme region in the direction Of
Amiens-has been neglected by the
German command in this new thrust.
The possibility exists, however, that
the fighting will be extended to this
area as the battle develops.
The southernly blow which covers

q front of some forty miles and ap-
parently is by far the more impor-
tant OF the -wo, has come at a point
which had not been considered the
most probable filed for a renewal OF
the German attempt. The fact that
both British and French troops are
found holding this from, however,
gives indication that General Foch,
the allied commander-in-chi has
hardly been caught mapping and has
large forces massed there
Aimed at Important Points
1t was, indeed, on this front, be-
tween the tip of the Montdjdier sa-
Lent and Rheims, that the enemy
flank was most dangerously exposed
and where he mus: have felt himself
invJlnerable TO a counter blow, II
his attack here is neither a demon
stration in force. to cover the main
effort elsewhere nor a veritable drive
at Paris, the possibility remains that
1t was launched with the intention OF
driving the allies from their advan-
tageous positions along the Disc I'D
the Ailette and thus forestalling a
fiank:ng counter effort by Foch's
81 eat reserve army.
The stroke in Flanders. while of
far less magnitude, covering front
OF less than ten miles, is nevertheless
aimed at the points which the Ger
mans must take before they can
hope to carry their April advance
| further toward the coast.
Allies Well Prepared
Behind the Locre-Voormezeele
area lie the hills which constitute
the, backbone of the Franco-Briti
position, only the outlying peak of
which the Germans captured when
they took Mont KENNEL last
month. Mont Rouge, Mont Des
Cats and other eminences are yet
barring the way to the Germans.
The allied positions along both
fronts under attack are notably
strong. In general, the allies seem
well prepared for the thrust, aud
while they appear likely to be forced
to give grounds at points, the opin-
ion of their high command has been
| reflected as confident in the ability
of the allied forces to prevent the
Germans from gaining anything de-
cisive.

mans have extended the active bat

BIRDMEN GO TO BALL
GAME VIA AiRPLANE

Probably for the first time in his
tory two teams of ball players made
the trip to the place of contest in
airships.
This was accomplished Saturday
when 20 airplanes took two officers
teams 'of nine men each from Carl.
strom and Dorr fields to Sarasota on
their war to Brandentown, where they
played a game of baseball that after
noon.
The landing was made at Sarasota
because there is no landing field at
Brandentown, and the balance of the
trip was made by automobile. The
teams were the officers teams from
Dorr and Carlstrom fields.
The air line distance from the
camps to Sarasota is about so miles
and the trip was made in about an
hour. There are practically no roads
across the country in this section
and If there were the Miakka river
would be an obstacle to passage.
Ten of the planes were from Carl
storm field and ten from Dorr, and
they flew in battle formation. Lieut.
Abstain, captain of the Carlstrom
team, was in charge of the Carlstrom
formation, and Lieut.. Cronk was in
charge of the Dorr team.
The game was witnessed by about
1000 people. 1t resulted in victory
for the Dorr field team. The score
stood to O. The pitching of Good
