MOST TRYING DAYS
OF WAR ARE JUST
AHEAD OFFICIALS SAYS
Statements of Generals Haig
and Maurice Are Regarded
As Significant
BY Carl d. Groat

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 13.-The most try
ing days of the war are just ahead.
Army men agree today that this is
the frank situation or the western bat
tie, in the light of General Haig's and
General Maurice's statements that q
new crisis has been reached.
It grows increasingly possible that
Germany will gamble with her fleet
ahead Of any allied sea offensive.
America will have men in the strug.
gle which Haig now, charactcrizes as
raging, "with our backs to the wall. ,
The bright ray in the Haig statement
as seen here was that "the French army
is moving rapidly and in great force tC
our support" In this reserve ana, Am.
orleans quite likely are included. If they
are not now, it is certain they will be
on the line soon and in force. Army
men took pride in the fact that Amer
licans fighting with the French haC
headed to the southwark as revealed by
1.-THE French official statement.
That Baillaul may have to be yield
ed was the thought here from Genera
! Matrices statement. But it was cleal
to military men that the British resist
ance has hardened and that with reser
yes coming up, yielding further groun(
will be only after the most desperate
fighting.
The situation yesterday morning ap
pearcd a tTifle better than it has fo-
several days. But the late afternoon
and evening brought news that thu
Germans had swung on westward ant
that now the british position was again
Icritical. Previously, as shown by Lloyd
George, tLey had been close to disaste
in the Amiens drive.
New with the boehe hurting his lin
at Calais, the menace apparently is n
JOSS great than previously, but on tn
occasion it is deemed wiser to be NOR
frank with tie mai ems involved.
The prodigality of the German effor
lis evidenced by Haig's statement tina
100 divisions have been used by tn
Germans.
